Filomena's Italian Kitchen & Market

The place is amazing. Super small but overwhelming with great service. Had a party of 8 for lunch with an unexpected plus one, and they were super accommodating. The service was done w a smile and plenty of joking from Manny. Even the market side staff was great. Food was absolutely delicious. Portions were decent sized. Will definitely return - AKA David party of 8

Chicken parmigiana was a little tough but the sauce was good the spaghetti was good maybe a little more pasta for the huge size of the chicken portion. The cheese was good. Staff was amazing and super friendly and even offered to change the plate.

Went after the theater and had a delicious meal. The atmosphere and service were great. Attentive without hovering. The fresh pasta market and bakery w gelato were the best!

Nice friendly folks serving really good Italian food. The market has a real nice variety of Italian favorites.

Loved this place. The food is all home made and absolutely delicious. Very high quality ingredients. Big portions. The ownership has changed since some of the one star reviews were posted. Highly recommended! We’ll be back!

It was our first time visiting Filomena's and although the restaurant gets strong reviews, my meal was a miss rather than a hit. This pasta dish was literally swimming in broth. I sampled other meals from various dishes guests were having, but I still couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed. We were on a time schedule, otherwise I would have asked the waiter to re-fire the dish. The service was super friendly and attentive and so I'll give a 3 out of 4 stars.

Loved this place so much, we ate here two nights in a row! Only in town for the weekend and the OC hotel recommended it to us. It was a 2 minute walk away so why not? It was sooooo good and the service was incredible! Manny and Hector were both amazing and hilarious! We had the chicken parm and split it between two people (it’s massive), the garlic bread and a cannoli, and the second night we had a pizza and gelato! Both were outstanding and the restaurant staff was like family. They were all so talented! We have to come back!

I stop here quite often on my way home and pick up the Italian Special. The regular size is enough for two lunches. The meat is high quality and always fresh. I love the Italian wedding cookies, they melt in your mouth. Wonderful selection of fresh pastas and ready to make meals. I decided to try their sit down service and was really happy I did. Butternut squash soup was perfect. Seared scallop (antipasti menu) was spot on. So much flavor. The table next to me ordered the charcuterie board and told me it was really good. Definitely getting that next time! The staff is always friendly and helpful. I love the small town vibe.

Amazing food ! Love this spot to eat charcuterie boards are amazing ! ............................

Hector was our waiter and he did a great job. He is very friendly and made our visit enjoyable. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and it was really good. Also had the cheesy garlic bread and meatballs too. These were also delicious. For my main entree, I got the veal parmigiana and it was huge. It was delicious too. My wife and son got the bolognese and it the best bolognese I have ever had. We were too full for desert. The place is on the small side so make reservations.

YUM! Came here Thursday evening around 7:30pm and was seated immediately in their main seating area. Such a cute intimate space and delicious food to pair with! Our servers were a treat! We got a little help from everyone on the floor, and they were all very knowledgeable and great help with the evening! Started with cheesy garlic bread. Followed up with their Margarita Pizza and Penne Alla Vodka (added chicken). The Vodka sauce was SO tasty we had to purchase a container of it from their storefront. Margarita pizza was light and the tomatoes were juicy! Truly everything was cooked to perfection! *We had their Coke products and sadly it was extremely flat, so stick to water or better yet, WINE! Can't wait to come back and try other dishes! Make sure to grab some yummy Italian pastries or gelato on your way out!!

Horrible service through Door Dash. Ordered a dish that "was not Available" but charged through Door dash. Order was delivered and told that item was not available but still charged. Contacted Filomena's and they told me it was a Door dash problem and to contact DD.

My CM golf buddy introduced the HB guys in the group to Filomena's, and I'm glad he did. Ever since Lucci's closed in HB, we don't have a neighborhood place like Filomena's: Sit down Italian deli with friendly service. We dined in and had roasted salmon under a bed of spinach w/ tomatoes. The salmon was fresh and moist, and the overall portion was very large. The only downside was the bread at the table had no flavor or texture. For take out for mija, I got an Italian Special sandwich. It had the most meat of any sandwich I have ever seen (overall weight 2 lbs and 12" long). The bread held up well against the meat and other ingredients. I could only finish half the sandwich at another sitting to give you an idea how packed it was. For dessert in, my CM buddy ordered almond florentine cookies. To go, I grabbed some pignoli cookies. Both were really good. My other HB friend grabbed an Italian rum cake and said it was awesome. Regarding the ambiance, its very casual. You walk into the deli side where you can eat in a communal setting or take out. The dining side has about 12 tables. However, I understand the Mexican place next door has the same owner, but does not serve dinner. My CM buddy said rezzies are required at dinner despite the additional space. The service is friendly & warm. The customers are nice also, one younger guy commenting that he can't finish a whole sandwich either. I wish Filomena's was in HB. I would be a regular for sure. They make fresh pastas and sauces to cook at home, and they also have a chicken pot pie. I will definitely be back to dine in and take out.

The food and the service there was amazing. It's a small yet a warm welcoming restaurant that we will certainly revisit. The pasta was definitely homemade. Trust & believe there is a major difference between homemade pasta and the box pasta. The amount of seafood in each dish was generous. And everything we order was delicious.

TBH our first experience was 'to go' and we weren't blown away ... fast forward we had to give it another shot and eat at the restaurant to get the full experience. We are so glad we did! For starters the market connected is really charming and has it all ... including cookie dough ready to bake! The restaurant is really pretty, clean, very nice and service was 10/10 . We got a nice house salad, meatballs and sausage in Sundays sauce. I'm a huge meatball critic and I have to say they were fine, a little dry for me BUT the sausage was great and with the added cheeses and sauce we ate em up - inhaled them. Got the chicken parm over penne and it was a solid generous chicken size, nice and thin, perfectly cooked and the pasta was great. We really enjoyed the food and our visit... will be back! PS plenty of parking options.

First time here. If you are looking for a neighborhood restaurant with good service, fresh pasta, attention to detail, and good prices, this is your place. We had to feed our growing boys. Garlic Bread Calamari Spaghetti with Meatballs Linguini with Clams Delicious dinner.

We ordered takeout from Filomena's last night after hearing great reviews from friends about the food. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. I got the caprese salad which was delicious and my husband got the Chicken parm. The portion was ginormous... definitely warranting the cost of the chicken Parmesan. I was able to eat the leftovers for lunch the next day. Plus the deli side had delicious cookies for dessert! 10/10 would go again!

Let me start off by saying the service was phenomenal. Dining in with a 3 year old can be hard but the waiter made our experience so much better. There is a small grocery store as you walk in with pastries, ice cream, etc. On the left they have the restaurant which is a seat down place. We ordered the fettuccini Alfredo with chicken, the Caesar salad, a pepperoni pizza, and the papperdelle bolognese. We loved everything we ordered. It was delicious and very flavorful. A place we could definitely come back if we were in the area.

Wow, I gotta say this place has some of the best bolognese I've had the pleasure of trying. Their sauce here is unique and delicious. Their pizza is also very well done with the perfect amount of cheese and toppings. The service was fantastic as well. Definitely coming back!

Filomena's is a hidden gem. They have the best pasta dishes and an excellent wine list for dining. They also have an italian market where we pick up our fresh pastas and their homemade sauce to go. The italian subs are perfect for the beach! The man that works the counter is always so nice. Sorry I do not remember his name.

As suggested, we made a reservation and showed up a little early to check out the deli side while we waited for our table. Glad we did, it was a nice way to kick things off! Our server Manny was fantastic, super attentive and genuinely welcoming. He really helped make the whole experience memorable and paired well with friendly fun atmosphere. We went with the pepperoni pizza and the lasagna, and as expected, both were absolutely delicious. They never miss when it comes to flavor! Can't wait to come back again soon. Big thanks to Manny for the great service!

Nice place, good taste on decoration! Garlic cheese bread was good! The Pappardelle bolognese was good too but it's very rich and a little bit heavy for my taste. Our server was very helpful!

Went there for lunch at their deli yesterday. The Italian sandwich was amazing. It was so big it fed 3 people. Tons of delicious meats and the bread was perfect. I told the person behind the counter that it was delicious and her reply was " it's because it was made with love" what an amazing thing to say! They had all sorts of wonderful things in the deli. Will try them out for dinner in the near future.

Decent Italian food. They have a little deli market attached to the restaurant where you can by fresh raw pasta and other ingredients that you can bring home to cook. The restaurant has a nice cozy ambience, with good service. The Pappardelle Bolognese pasta was good. The Veal Milanese was good but there was way too much lemon in the sauce. Also I think the style of breading would lend itself better to the Chicken Milanese. Nevertheless next time I would get the Marsala entree. We got the Sauteed Mushrooms appetizer that is prepared Marsala style and it was awesome. Their wine menu is outrageously expensive. You cannot find a bottle of white wine for less than $50. You can bring your own for a corkage fee of $25.

This place is amazing! I got the pappardelle bolognese and it was delicious! It was filling and flavorful. The pasta was fresh. When you walk in, to the left is the restaurant, and to the right is a deli area. They sell some of their pastas and sides already packaged to go in their refrigerated section. It's half the price if you buy it cold. Good to know! Mariam was the lovely lady at the counter who checked me out. She was so nice and attentive. She looked me in the eyes. Engaged in a conversation. It's hard to find people who are genuine and care about customer service. She was on it. I wish I could have tipped her more :(. So please go in and tip her as much as you can! And give her a raise! Also, the garlic cheesy bread looks amazing but it's hard to justify $15. I'm just one person and it would be nice to have a smaller portion option for us single people :) The food was great, top notch customer service, and a great vibe. Check it out!

Pretty Good sandwich! Definite a must if you're in the neighborhood and have time! Usually a wait but I scored and was first in line! Definitely coming back and worth a visit to everyone!

We recently celebrated a birthday lunch with my closest friends here, and since the birthday girl requested Italian food, we decided to try this spot, as none of us had been before. What a great choice! We ordered pasta with Sunday sauce (highly recommended), buratta salad, calamari, and eggplant parmesan. The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was charming. It's a unique place--part eatery, part mini-market--and the cozy vibe added to the experience. We were really excited to check out the marketplace after lunch, but unfortunately, we had to rush to pick up our kids from school. We'll definitely be coming back, not just to try more of the tasty food but also to explore the market. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for good Italian food and a fun, welcoming setting!

The food was awesome and a cute little spot for romantic dinner. The lasagna and the eggplant Parmesan were delightful. The Spumoni, cheesecake, AND cannoli were to die for ....

Found this place from social media. Came on a Sunday night around 6:30pm. It's a cute little Italian restaurant attached to a deli. The restaurant was cozy and service was great. Our server was very attentive. It wasn't crowded. There were only 4 other tables occupied. For appetizers, we ordered sautéed mushrooms and grilled artichokes. The sautéed mushrooms were a tad sweet. The artichoke was literally 1 artichoke slices in 2 halves. I felt both appetizers were overpriced for $15 and $17, respectively. We also asked for a basket of bread which was $5. The garlic butter was flavorful. For our entrees, we ordered Frutti de Mare, Pappardelle Bolognese, and fettuccini Alfredo with chicken. I liked my Frutti de Mare. The scallops, shrimp and clams were cooked perfectly. The red wine sauce was delicious. Pappardelle Bolognese was also tasty. But there wasn't a lot of pappardelle. Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken was quite bland. My daughter didn't like it. She added a lot of red peppers and salt. I thought it was also overpriced at $25 plus $11 for chicken. That's $36 which was more than my Frutti De Mare at $32. In general, I felt some of the items were too pricey for what we got. I would probably skip the appetizers if I go back. I did enjoyed the homemade pastas with the exception of the bland Alfredo.

Good food BUT, very pricy for where it is and what it is. $30 for a pasta , if you like to add some tinny chicken. It is $14 extra. $44 plus tax and tip for a pasta dish. This is not even a Newport Beach location. They are located in a ghetto location by free way 55. 100% ripped off !

Delicious pizza and Caesar salad we split it all bill wqs 44.00 with a bottle of nice still water. We will be back soon love it

I ordered Filomena's off of DoorDash and was pleasantly surprised - great pasta & a huge slice of carrot cake. The pasta was fresh (penne with pink sauce) and a good sized serving & the carrot cake was a huge slice - definitely get your moneys worth for some delicious Italian food. The carrot cake was very coconut forward so if you don't like coconut I wouldn't suggest it.

This review is for the deli side. We stopped in for a quick bite and as soon as we walked in I was excited. The restaurant is on one side and the deli / market is on the other. Miriam helped us and she was absolutely fantastic. We didn't have a lot of time so my husband and I decided to split the chicken Parmesan sandwich. Chicken parm is my husbands favorite hands down (no pressure). The sandwich came and the chicken cutlet was perfectly done. There wasn't too much sauce, the cheese had a great cheese pull, the bread was fresh, soft and had a little crisp to the top of the roll. The chicken was both juicy and crisp and so flavorful. I was so happy and my husband really liked it as well. I also had a delicious cappuccino, an almond florentine cookies a fig cookie and a lemon ricotta cookie. The almond florentine was my husbands favorite and the lemon ricotta was my favorite hands down. I would come back just for a cappuccino and a lemon ricotta cookie. But we will definitely come back to try the cold sandwiches and to experience the restaurant. Definitely saving this spot to come back. Highly recommend.

I was truly looking forward to final dinner out for our anniversary staycation at Filomena's Italian Kitchen. Having had a remarkable experience for lunch before with my friend I was excited for my husband to share in the fabulous service, phenomenal flavorful food and pleasant environment. HOWEVER, unfortunately, I don't think this was the correct evening to bring my husband and I'm really frustrated about that because of how much I raved about Filomena's. I think I have explained that my husband is a tough critic in the first place so I was truly expecting a "hit" with this dining experience. One big thing for me is consistency which is how I deem a restaurant or service true high quality and multiple 5 stars. That needed to be said. First, the host needs to be recognized for how friendly, professional and warm he was. He went above and beyond to begin our evening in a very positive way. Let me explain... upon arrival he saw we were to be seated at a certain table but noticed that another better had just been vacated. He shared this info and said "just let me go clear it quickly for you and you'll be at my favorite table. Although wherever you'd prefer is good either way." What a guy right? So he cleared it and seated us and was just super nice letting us know we'd be taken care of soon. However this is where it all went wrong. While we were sitting chatting the group behind us was laughing and talking extremely loud. It got so uncomfortably loud we could barely hear each other so much for the pleasant environment. Next as we were STILL waiting I noticed how very busy it was and how much the ONE server I saw was sweating and yet still stopping and chatting when assisting tables. Mind you as I've said about business NOT being an excuse for bad service or food but better yet a time to step it up and prove why you are a 5 star worthy restaurant or service. Once we FINALLY got service, Hector, took our drink order and made light of the wait and the noise and I wanted to see how the rest of the night was going to go so I always offer encouragement and empathize when I see a difficult situation and don't want to make it worse. I am also looking at what kind of dining experience the server and chef are going to offer me with that challenge. Basically, we waited again, asked a few questions which he seemed to get a lot of because he appeared annoyed about it even though I was trying to lighten the mood with a few lighthearted chuckles here and there. We ordered the cheese garlic bread as an appetizer. My husband ordered the spaghetti & meatballs with Sunday sauce and I ordered the pappardelle bolognese and Hector said "Now your wife knows the right sauce to get". I didn't know whether to be flattered or upset he insulted my husband. Anyway... I had wanted to try their tiramisu as I had their cannoli at the lunch i previously had which was fabulous. Let me preface this by saying I am Italian and tiramisu and cannolis were a staple in the house not only for dessert so I like to try them at Italian restaurants. Unfortunately this tiramisu was subpar. It had an interesting presentation but it did not offer the customer the view of the pretty layers and all of the cocoa was doused on top which was not favorable to the dessert. I could barely taste amaretto or any flavor that the lady fingers were soaked in as sometimes bakers like to be creative with unique and tasty choices but there wasn't much of anything to me. I only took two bites... why waste the calories right? The food was hot, flavorful and absolutely tantalizing to my tastebuds. My husband even remarked when I apologized about the evening that at least the food was really good!!! So that's saying something! The stars I gave were for the chef and host. Also I had preordered their almond florentines from the bakery and the host had them ready for me upon leaving. Just getting those delightful baked treats made the 12 minute drive there worth it. At this point I will only be going back to the bakery for their wonderful fresh baked goodies. :(

First of all, the service was phenomenal. My issues were with the costs. Everything was ala carte. I had the pappardelle bolognese with sausages for $28 + $15 =$43.00 for an entree, no bread, no salad. I got a house salad for $13, extra dressing was .50. The pappardelle was salty. And the sausages were extremely salty. This place is not for me $$$. The restaurant was extremely busy on a Friday night. And the service was impeccable.

Great food... but why did I have to sit in the bombed out, third world, paper-covered-windowed adjunct dining room when NO ONE was sitting in the main dining room? I had reservations! Were they trying to recreate a scene out of a WW2 Italian resistance meeting, hiding from Mussolini's goons over pasta? I just don't get it.

Incredible service and outstanding pizzas! We will try the pasta next time. Seems like a local favorite with all the guests eating there.

Food was sooo good. Meatballs were juicy and firm. The salad was fresh and crisp. I'm coming back. A little nugget hidden in a small strip mall.

I've been eyeing this place for years and I've finally had a chance to give it a try. Market: They have noodles, cookie dough, to-go items you can eat in the car. Yummy cookies, my favorite are the wedding cookies! They also have pasta salad and gelato as well as wine to pair with pastas. Restaurant: We had - Calamari: super fresh tasted so good Bruschetta: maybe one of the best ones I've had. Not to hard to bite through toasted to perfection Fettuccine Alfredo: with an addition of Chicken for the protein - this was the best fettuccine I've ever had. The service was great, very attentive. The place is such a cute little gem so close to my house. Please go and check it out. Definitely going to be making sure to visit once a month.

Food was good as usual. Service was subpar. Waiter struggled with the specials making them sound very unappealing...seemed to be a language barrier. Ambiance was terrible. If you're not in the preferred dining room, you get to look at dirty and drab blinds and windows. Three TVs with fake cafes on the screen. Please make the second overflow room clean and respectable.

Awesome place! Went there for dinner after attending a show at the Segerstrom center. Their service was fantastic and the food portions are generous! Would definitely go back.

Here goes my first review ever. I tried Filomena's for the first time last night. Great food, great environment and a great waiter. So why the bad review you may be asking? Well, I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana that came with spaghetti. When it arrived, the spaghetti consisted of about two small bites, probably less than an ounce. So, I asked for a little more. What came was a huge bowl of spaghetti noodles with no sauce. So I explained that that it was way too much, and not what I was expecting. I asked for a little more Sunday gravy and they brought this tiny little container all packed up to go. Then, I got the bill which included an additional $12.00 ($6 for the extra side of Spaghetti and $6 for the small dollop of Sunday gravy) all because I asked for a little more pasta that was shorted on my original dish in the first place. Totally disappointed! Filomena's is just one more example of the growing number of greedy restaurants that have raised their prices to exorbitant levels and also nickel and dimes their customers for extras. I should not have been charged for the extra pasta and sauce. That dish was not constructed correctly in the kitchen. Filomena's should have corrected their mistake they made in their attempt prepare the dish the first time. Like I said, I so wanted this to be a great experience and become a go to favorite. Nick's is gone, Sabatino's is gone, Spaghetti Bender is now gone. Any body out there have recommendations for good, old school Italian restaurants with reasonable prices? The only place I can think of is Haus of Pizza in Costa Mesa. They have consistently great food with reasonable prices.

Great food and great service. Such a cute little hidden gem. All fresh pasta I can't wait to come back and buy some to make at home.

I had heard about Filomena's on social media and thought I'd try it out. I came in today before they started their hot food menu for the day, so I decided to try their Italian Hoagie sandwich, fresh pasta salad, and a bag of potato chips. Everything about the hoagie was absolutely delicious, including the fresh bread, lean ham, salami, cheese, and peppers. And, the sandwich was so big there was no way so I could eat both halves in one sitting. I ate a half and took the other half to go (yummy leftover for later). The staff were warm, friendly and attentive. I really like this spot and I'm planning on another visit soon when I'll try a hot entree dish off the menu. I highly recommend Filomena's.

That's Italian!! Fresh pasta, handmade, with care, Rich, savory pizza with mushrooms to share, Shrimp scampi on angel hair, light and divine, With a salad so bright, crisp, and refined. Top it off with espresso, bold and pure-- At Filomena's, you'll find a meal that's truly the cure!

I always start my reviews with service because great service, exceptional service is what describes the entire experience. I had to pick a place to meet my brother and sister-in-law, so I of course "yelped it." Reviews were great and I love the pictures of a restaurant within a store. I arrived a few minutes after my family and was greeted with the sweetest smile and polite server. Shame on me because I did not have his name.! he greeted me right away offered me something to drink besides water. He already delivered wine and bread to the table before I got there. I had the angel pasta with olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, and basil, and I added chicken., my brother had the Bolognese and a side of meatballs in the sundae sauce and my sister-in-law had a mushroom pasta. Everything was exceptional. Noodles were al dente, perfect. Flavor was oh so on point. My angel hair had a little bit of spice and you can taste the garlic, the fresh basil and everything else in it. It was so good. My brother said that the Bolognese was probably one of the best and he's very picky. The store was equally nice, a lot of wonderful pastries and a gelato bar. We had a scoop of gelato and it was good. Overall this is the cutest little place and fortunately for my brother and sister-in-law, they will be back often unfortunately for me I live a little far from their location overall really great experience one thing to consider is the parking. If you Google this, it's a little difficult to see where the location is. It's a tiny little strip mall and very minimal parking overall wonderful. In fact, so good that I didn't even take my pictures cause I was too busy eating everything.

The food and service was great. I wasn't expecting a lot from a strip mall Italian restaurant but hit all the top marks. We will be back for sure.

Oh boy. In what world is this a normal sandwich. Gigantic, filling, and full of meat, the Italian special and chicken sandwich were wondrous sandwiches. My human insinkerator of a partner and I were astonished by the weight and size of the sandwich. A heavy weight champion (the sandwich, not my partner). The Italian special has so many types of cold cuts that the layers of meat conducts a chaotic, but harmonious, symphony in your mouth. A little spiciness added by the peppers it is *chefs kiss* The chicken sandwich was more simple, but in a great way. The saltiness from the Italian was well balanced by taking a bite of the chicken sandwich. We originally wanted a grilled chicken sandwich (hot sandwich) but we were told that there were only cold sandwich available. We went around noon on Sunday. I wish we knew that coming in, but we were surprised by the amount of food we received so we were satisfied. Clean and friendly, the shop had an outside seating area, where we ate the sandwich with our pup. We also saw a man buy 5 pizza doughs while we were there, so we'll have to go back to see if the pizza dough is that good you want to buy 5. Thanks for the foood!

Came here for my birthday dinner with my hubby... left the kids at home. Found this place on YELP and decided to give it a try. The parking lot is much too small to accommodate the businesses at this plaza. We walked in and went to the restaurant side. The restaurant is super cute, but seating is tight. We did not have reservations. We arrived around 4:00 pm. The restaurant had 2 other parties aside from us and we were seated at the smallest table next the the window. Tiny table and hot. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. We ordered Caesar salad, spaghetti and meatballs with Sunday sauce and chicken piccata. Caesar salad - 4/5 Spaghetti & meatballs - 4/5, Sunday sauce, although good, was a bit disappointing. The way the waiter described it we thought it would be much more flavorful. Meatballs were moist. Chicken piccata - 4/5, would like a little more pasta, but the sauce and chicken were very good. The meal felt like it was missing something and that was bread. Next time, I will order some sort of bread. My husband's meal came with a slice of cold bread, no butter. It was bleh. We will be back, probably try a sandwich on the deli side.

Ordered the penne alla vodka which is a relatively rare dish here in OC, and thought it was pretty good for the area. I also appreciated that their Caesar salad that had romaine lettuce could have the dressing changed to vinaigrette to cut out on the Caesar. Definitely a good place to try if you want a variety of Italian foods.

Food was good. service was good. Pasta came with not much 'Sunday Sauce' . We asked for a bit more sauce and waiter asked we would like a'side' of sauce. we answered yes and the we charged $6 for extra sauce that should have come sufficiently with the pasta. Disappointing.

Absolutely delicious! Great spot! Well maintained and clean. I'm surprised that this place isn't more packed during lunch. They make their own pasta and sauces. The food tasted fresh. Pizza crust was amazing! Simply perfect! I think my only complaint would be that they don't offer lunch specials. But is that really a complaint??? I'm not sure, but I am sure that we will be back to try more food. Thank you.

They have delicious pizza and my friend ordered one with olives. The crust was slightly crunchy and the inside was soft and doughy. The sauce was very good and the pizza was excellent.

The food is good. The bakery is outstanding. We love this restaurant/bakery. It's not a fancy place. It's warm and inviting.

So we came out to rescue my son in Costa Mesa. Happen to know this place across the street. This is a true Italian kitchen. The food is amazing. Fresh ingredients as well as fresh pasta! It is such a little romantic place, quiet with candle light. I had caprese salad and fettuccini alfredo with chicken. Hubby had scallops for an appetizer and sausage with peppers. All the food was just amazing. Our server, Manny, gave suggestion and explained the menu. He was so knowledgeable. They are quick and everything is so tasty! Thank you for the great diner!

Great service! Our server Hector made this such a great experience. You have to get the homemade pasta! The fettuccini was delicious. The milanesa is one of their signature dishes and also a 10/10. The chicken pesto was good, but would have preferred a more pestoy taste. Overall great place for a good dinner!

We love Filomena's market for when we make my husband's Nonna's homemade sauce and need the perfect noodle compliment. We also love their tiramisu and always grab some to go, but because they carry all the authentic ingredients, we will also pick up the San marzano tomatoes here or the authentic lady fingers to make our own tiramisu. The staff are always friendly and helpful and we love the quaint corner location. When we don't feel like cooking we've stopped in for their homemade meals restaurant and it never disappoints.
