The 14 Best Restaurants In Newport Beach - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Originally from Venice, Ospi’s OC outpost is technically Costa Mesa, but it’s really in that grey area where Newport Harbor is a few steps away. There’s a brick-walled dining room, but make use of the big front patio and romantic back courtyard surrounded by boutiques. The crowd is a mix of birthday girls in tiaras and family dinners with dad getting increasingly louder off house wine. Go heavy on anything involving vodka sauce, like the spicy rigatoni or the fried provolone starter. The kale salad and raschiatella (breadcrumb-topped, grown-up mac and cheese) are good adds, too. And know that the thin, crackly crust pizzas are best when ordered “saka-style” (with the side of stracciatella dip)." - cathy park
