Garduno's Italiano - Costa Mesa

Family owned OG OC Italian joint. Quaint, delicious, how did we not know about this sooner? Hand made pastas. House dressing is unreal. Come hungry.

I’ve been going here for a few years. I’m never disappointed. Small little family owned place with great food in my opinion.

I had an invite at Maggiano's Little Italy. My experience was pleasant except I was expecting Little Italy to be more of an Italian Piazza or an experience of a restaurant more than a family diner. The crepes were a bit edgy I didn't care for them much for the breakfast but I loved the fruits and desserts including the creme brulee. Next time I'll check out the bar and cocktails. It's a good spot if you're going shopping at the mall because the mall has one small Cafe restaurant and a Starbucks. I would go back for the service the waiters were very pleasant, polite and professional, which is something unique if you live in Los Angeles.

Amazing! We stopped by on our trip to the beach, kids and parents all loved it. We need more fabulous family owned places like this. Pastas all hand made daily and the sauces are all made fresh for each order. Highly recommend the Rosa sauce with gnocchi, and seriously probably the best Tiramisu we've ever had. Gotta try this place, our family will definitely be back for more!

I had the lasagna and my friend had the chicken alfredo. The chicken was very delicious and seasoned very well. My lasagna was really good as well. The tiramisu was great. They make it in-house and was both sense and light. If you're in Costa Mesa, stop in for a bite. The service here is very friendly.
