Food and service are outstanding. Great place for family... While the place is in a strip mall and is small in size it more than makes up for it withfood and service. In fact I think the size of the place helps the chef concentrate on great creations without being rushed. Great place for those that appreciate really good italian food. Pros: Excellent value... at $20 per person average.

Listen, I have been to Firenze, and this is what I have to say to Barolo Cafe, "Holy Toledo..." The food that Giussepe makes is bomb-diggity and Paula is beautiful.

This place is great. I've been going there for many years and never had a bad meal. The chef Guissepe is from Italy and serves up anything you'd like but specializes in pasta, great fish, fresh vegatables, and wonderful specials each evening. Paula will greet you and most likely serve you--she's fabulous. If you like authentic Itallian food this is the place. If you detest Olive Garden, Bucca, and all the rest come to this hole in the wall and be amazed. Part of me is worried if the word gets out and I can't get in but as a minister I must tell the truth. This place is known by those of us who live in Tustin and Irvine but it is the best kept secret around. If you like small and custom where the chef is really Itallian working from memory and not cookbook you'll love it.

The food is excellent here. This is one of the best hole in the walls in orange county. The pasta is 15-20 dollars a dish, but well worth the money. The portions are huge. I would not recondmend getting the entrees, most people that have gotten them have not liked their meal. Get the pasta dishes, (pesto is excellent).

Wow! What a surpise. Every dish was really good and prepared with the finest ingredients. Large portions too!
