Description:
NEWPORT BEACH. Locals laud the osso buco and gnocchi gorgonzola served at this casual eatery, whose atmosphere and homemade fare are reminiscent of Old World gems you'd expect to find in Florence – in fact, the place also has an "older sister" restaurant in Firenze. For added charm, request a table overlooking Newport's Inner Harbor, which is usually full of luxurious yachts. Be warned, though: Mamma's tends to get crowded quickly, especially on weekends. |

Description:
NEWPORT BEACH. One of the area's top Italian restaurants, homey Dolce is a haven for Newport Beach's well-to-do crowd. In fact, Balboa Bay Club & Resort is just a walk across the street. Fashionable clientele aside, what really sets Dolce apart is its uncanny ability to produce sinfully delicious homemade Italian fare like ravioli hand-stuffed with fresh mushrooms or lobster. The warm, intimate restaurant features romantic tables situated around fireplaces and set on an outdoor patio. |

Description:
NEWPORT BEACH. Overlooking Newport Harbor, this well-established Italian eatery has been around since 1933 and gets high marks from area romantics who laud its stunning views, immaculately appointed tables, and award-winning domestic and international wines. It was at Villa Nova that Joe DiMaggio took Marilyn Monroe on a blind date and where Vincent Minelli proposed to Judy Garland. Of course, the fare is nothing short of spectacular thanks to specialties like osso bucco with risotto Milanese, lamb chops with rosemary, and scallopine saltimbocca in white wine-mushroom sauce. The Piano Bar features live music seven nights a week. |
