Lovely service, house-made tiramisu, and delicious pasta. Almost everything could be made vegetarian as well, so great if you have parties with mixed dietary preferences. My favorite dish was the tortellini boscaiola; light, creamy, and the mushrooms are well cooked and seasoned

A great little place. We had wonderful dinner here. Our first visit, we went with our server’s specials of the day. Mixed grilled plate…sea bass, halibut, salmon, tuna and shrimp, seafood linguine , and pork chops with roasted garlic. All came with salad and bread. All dishes were piping hot, seafood dishes were excellent and super fresh. Servers were attentive. I think we found our new favorite Italian restaurant.

Food was good. They were super nice and offered to explain the menu since it was our first time. It was also very busy the day I visited. I felt a little crammed since the location is kind of small. At the time, they also have seating outside with a tarp with “windows.”

Molto bene! What a great find in old town Tustin! The chef is the owner, and he is fun to watch. His portions are very generous. No one will go hungry here. The fettuccine with seafood was my favorite, filled with so many and so much seafood. The sauce was perfectly blended with the pasta and the seafood like salmon, sea bass, mussels, clams, and more. The best seafood pasta I ever had! The Linguini with meat sauce was also rich and nice. The sauce was well balanced. The Chilean sea bass was the best genuine Chilean sea bass I ever tasted in italian restaurant. The only dish I thought could use a little improvement was the braised short ribs. It was soft and well done, but I thought it was a bit bland with only tomato sauce. The bread was fresh. The side salad was also fresh and generous. The server was attentive. Can’t go wrong here!

I’m a New Yorker at heart! My favorite Italian restaurant in New York is Montes in the village. Barolo’s is fantastic! Their food is absolutely delicious! I’ll be getting my Sunday Italian meals every week!
