STORICO Cafe

Always gonna be a favorite! Never disappointed! The food is excellent every single time I dine in.

First our family ordered drinks and waited for the kitchen to open for dinner. We were severed a milky latte and a peach tea that tasted like pure sugar and no tea. We opted out of sitting for dinner service as we wanted to have a quick meal, so we ordered a salad and a pasta dish for takeout. Unfortunately, we could have sat for dinner service and been provided with a whole meal before our takeout order was made. We do not like to be rude or rush food service and workers, but multiple plates were served for dinner service and two people with to go orders (who ordered after us) were provided meals before ours. When I checked to get an eta on our order, i was told it was still being made and no estimated time was provided. The person who took our order went on a break and returned and realized we were still waiting. After about 50 minutes and the help from a guy who said “they are still waiting for their order,” we finally received our pasta dish. I had to go to the counter to ask for the salad in our order. The pasta was cold when we opened it in the car and lacked sauce. The salad was average and the cheese it came with was minimal.No napkins were provided. The kitchen seems to lack an organization for receiving or completing orders based on our experience of watching them fumble with order receipts from their open kitchen and as stated by someone else’s review that the chef does as he pleases. The restaurant is very cute and the coffee is usually good, must have been an odd night.

we came here at 3 pm for gelato, very cute cafe shop and we order small bowl for kid, she like it very much, also order one cup of black coffee.

The baristas were super friendly and I loved their style, I got a lavender oat latte which was delicious! I love the atmosphere - I will definitely be coming back for my lunch breaks and to check out the restaurant!

A couple years ago I started a little tradition of taking my kids to this cafe for their birthday. It started out as a cute morning routine where I would let them get a chocolate milk with whipped cream and sprinkles and share a pastry with them like a cinnamon roll. It's been a couple of years now and they have come to LOVE this little birthday daddy date. This past trip was particularly special. Our favorite spot on the couch was wide open and a short line was starting to form behind us so I had my son and daughter rush over to save the spot. They performed their job perfectly! Then I had them take turns standing next to me choosing what they wanted. They passed on the chocolate milk this time and went with gelato. It was 9:15 am and they wanted ice cream?! Man, you can never underestimate a child's capacity for sugar first thing in the morning... I got myself a vanilla latte and it was exactly what I needed to start my day off right! As I was checking out, Marissa asked me whose birthday it was and gave both my kids special discounts before they were turning 6 and 8! As a single income household in Orange County, special discounts are always well received haha. That extra layer of consideration and generosity made the experience all the more personal. Thanks Marissa! You and your family bring "family-feel" to local, family-business. There are so many wonderful spots out here but what makes this location uniquely special is their story of overcoming. They opened shortly before COVID. It was all hands on deck between Daniella and the family. They persevered and now they are one of the favorited spots in all of Old Town Tustin. On top of their adorable cafe corner, they have a fantastic restaurant attached, Storico Spaghetteria! Their reviews and pictures say it all--they are BELOVED! If you haven't been, you're missing out if you haven't checked out this wonderful spot. This family is killing it in Old Town Tustin, go and check them out!

I'm lucky enough to come here a few times a month with our office and it never disappoints! My favorite dishes are carbonara, gamberi pappardelle, calamari, the tuna panini and the ceaser salad with salmon. The servers are nice and willing to translate the menu which is great while also providing amazing service and food. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine in tustin, then look no further! The picture I added is of the carbonara dish :)

Storico Cafe in Tustin stands out as a charming spot for excellent coffee, a welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service

Great place for fresh pasta. The pear and gorgonzola salad was excellent as well. Well definitely pass on the cannoli.
