Mixed feelings. Food was great, but we came on Saturday evening and it was packed, so waiters were barely managing. We got our appetizers an hour after we sat down. One of 4 orders was wrong (but promptly fixed) and we got the wrong check as well. But we weren’t starving and in good company so it didn’t bother us that much. I think if you aim for a less busy time it will be a fantastic experience.

We had an incredible experience at Alessa, courtesy of Chef Pirozi. The food felt personally crafted for us, with divine flavors, fresh produce, and the finest herbs and ingredients. The dishes were exceptionally delicious, leaving us unable to resist indulging in every bite. Vegetarians will be pleased to find plenty of options available. The cozy and romantic ambience, along with its cool vibe, creates the perfect atmosphere for a date with loved ones or friends. If you find yourself in the Laguna Beach area, Alessa, an authentic Italian restaurant, is an absolute must-try.

If you do not mind the very slow timing for service it’s a good place. About 40 minutes for apetizers and 45 minutes for main dish. In 2 hrs we seen the waitress 3 times. Very very busy. Outdoorseating its nice, inside too crowded. Food is good.

This place is great. We have only been twice, but it all started after our wedding. So every anniversary will be here. Food is great, servers are friendly as well. Make sure you end the night with an affagato. Sometimes a bit slow but you can’t complain when your in downtown Laguna.

Randomly found this place while strolling around Laguna Beach. Made the choice based upon the patio and the menu. Definitely a good choice. We dined early so everything was quick and convenient and the server was very professional. The food was very good. We had the butternut ravioli and the Mama Mia for appetizers. Would definitely try one or both again. The Risotto Pescatore was smooth and creamy with perfectly cooked seafood. The only negative from our choices was the Arrabbiata sauce didn’t have any heat and was sweeter than it should have been. Not enough of a ding to drop the stars, because the dish was still great, just not angry.

Great Italian spot within a minute walking distance from the beach shore. Alessa by Chef Pirozzi offered classic Italian dishes.

Good food and the dessert was very good. And they were able to seat our big group. The service definitely could be better.

Stopped by here the day after Christmas when most places are closed. We got lucky and got seated right away. It was just the two of us. Service was super friendly and fast, despite them being very busy. Every other place around them didn’t allow walk ins due to being booked with reservations, so we were extremely grateful to get a table and to be seated so fast!
