The fact that it's always crowded speaks for itself. Great wine selection, same with their beer and cocktails. Food is served fresh and of great quality, especially the seafood salad. Being in Laguna, parking could be a challenge but it's worth every time spent here.
The minestrone was very sweet and had broccoli in it. It tasted like broccoli. The ricotta and spinach ravioli was ok. It was sweet as well. Had a squash taste to it.
Absolutely wonderful Italian food. I recommend the chicken artichoke dish with capers If you like that sort of flavor profile.
Wow, what a nice little Italian place! Very nice, modern decor, and friendly staff. The menu is extensive, and a bit pricier than I’m used to (but maybe in line with a moderately nice place in a resort town.) I paid about $30 for just a beer and an entree.
I had penne with sausage and mushrooms, which was fantastic. The bread served with it was the most amazing part, though — I’m a bread fan, and this was some of the best anywhere.
Mozzarella is terrible. U can probably find a better one in a simple grocery store. Caprese has no basil as it appears in menu. Minimum of vinegar. Bread is really bad too. From Ralph's across the street probably. Prices are too high for the quality of their food and for the attitude of their waitresses. Disappointed deeply
Nice surprise in the Laguna Beach areaquaint little place, really good food, and very accommodating. ASK FOR JESUSTell him Paul sent you
Small, busy restaurant. Excellent Italian food. Tables very close together. Very good wait staff. Reasonable prices.
Pizza was very good. Enjoyed with a bottle of Pellegrino & glasses of wine. Suggest buying a bottle of wine rather than by the glass as the value is much better. And it allows you to extend your dinner to enjoy the atmosphere.
They let us make a reservation for four, and were so polite. The staff was very friendly even though they were packed. Authentic food and we really enjoyed ourselves. The manager spilled a drink on me, was apologetic so no problem. It would have been nice if he bought us desert.
Alessa by Pirozzi is the best authentic Italian food in the City. The pasta is made fresh and all of her ingredients are authentic. Prices are unbelievably affordable for the quality of food you are served.
Would have given it a 3.5. Great atmosphere, good feettucine alfredoo, but it is very pricey for a minuscule portion, same goes for the salads!AND THEY MADE US PAY EXTRA TO PUT HALF OF OUR FOOD IN ANOTHER PLATE TO SHARE
Craving for pasta, love their tasty, creamy and affordable pasta. Service is slow and seating is limited. Overall, had a fun experience with Alessa's palce with my friends.
Fantastic food! Great portions. Pricey but hey it's Laguna. Gets packed I advise reservations. Amazing wine list. Exceptional waiting service!!!
I came here with my friend for my birthday party and since the owner knew that, she did a cheese cake for me and it was free. How nice she is! The food was delicious, maybe because her husband is Italian and understand enough about his country's cuisine. Anyway, I had a good time here.
