What DavidB likes about Alessa By Chef Pirozzi:
I have eaten at this restaurant numerous times and it has always been excellent, particularly the meats and cheese plates as appetizers. However, on this occasion, the meats were sliced too thickly and the Gouda was hard and dry. The pizza was still great, but the lamb pasta was too salty and lacking in flavor. It was probably just an off night, but I will give this place another chance since it is usually very good. View all feedback. What BillP doesn't like about Alessa By Chef Pirozzi:
I want to start by mentioning that the staff informed us that it was an unusually busy night, which is great, but unfortunately, we have had more negative experiences than positive at this restaurant, despite having been loyal customers for many years. Our server was friendly and attentive, but the food took an incredibly long time to arrive. The appetizer meat and cheeseboard was wilted and not up to its usual stand... View all feedback.

Simply one of the best Italian restaurants in orange county. I have been a consistent customer for over 15 years. the high bar, which every resturant strives.

I've been coming here for years and I'm not sure it's because of the staff, but they've taken one last time to serve them. I recommend it.

Despite some mixed reviews, this restaurant usually impresses with delicious dishes like meats and cheese plates, pizzas, and pastas. Inconsistent service, noise from staff conversations, and issues with food quality have been noted, but most guests have left satisfied despite the occasional hiccup. The charcuterie board has been a hit, and specialties like Calamari Fritti and Octopus are standout favorites. The vibrant atmosphere and attentive service make it a worthwhile dining option for special occasions or casual gatherings. Overall, this restaurant offers a diverse menu that can please a variety of tastes at a reasonable price point.
