Best WLM Reviews
It happens to be my Birthday and I was craving for a good Cioppino for lunch near my area and Alessa came out as my choice to try. Our sever Larissa was amiable and kind enough to deliver my special request to add spaghetti and more sauce for my preferred entree. Sure enough they deliver, it was sumptuously delicious. One of the best if not the best Cioppino I’ve ever had. My compliments to the Chef. I highly recommend and we will sure come back for this dish our next visit to Laguna Beach.
The Italian food is great and there is an amazing selection. Sitting outside at night for dinner is a relaxing and serene experience. The staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, a great place to eat and enjoy the wonderful California climate.
A perennial favorite in Laguna Beach. Good food and great service. The menu is large and there is certainly something for every taste. We sat outdoors in their outdoor dining terrace, which was relaxing. I ordered the house special Bucatini with Burrata, cherry tomatoes and spinach. The sauce was perfect as the Burrata slowly melted into the pasta to create a rich and creamy mixture. Unfortunately, the pasta was overcooked. But that didn't take away from deliciousness of the sauce. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. They boast a wide selection of wines by the bottle and the glass. Overall, a great choice for Italian food in Laguna Beach and only a block from the beach.
Been coming to Alessas for years. Never reviewed it though. We love the bread and pesto w olive oil. It’s the best. The risotto is great. The lasagna is wonderful. The Rigatoni Arrabbiata was delicious. The lobster ravioli w pink vodka sauce is exceptional. My favorite though is the meatballs. Best meatballs I’ve had anywhere! We always finish with the affogato. Never been disappointed here.
Mixed feelings. Food was great, but we came on Saturday evening and it was packed, so waiters were barely managing. We got our appetizers an hour after we sat down. One of 4 orders was wrong (but promptly fixed) and we got the wrong check as well. But we weren’t starving and in good company so it didn’t bother us that much. I think if you aim for a less busy time it will be a fantastic experience.
Parking (little lots and street) is too busy on a weekend as well.
stopped by laguna for the beach and stumbled across this restaurant. me and my parents ordered two pastas and a salad. the complementary bread came out early with a great pesto sauce but the bread was cold. Not sure if thats how the food is supposed to come out. Yet, overall the food was excellent!
Most of the food we had was very tasty and our server was lovely . Unfortunately our meatballs were raw . We sent them back and they were returned still raw and were told that the redness was because of the sauce (you can clearly see in the photo they look like straight raw beef). I would encourage the older male server came over and told us that we were wrong and argued with us when they are clearly soft and raw in the centre to look at the picture attached to this review before arguing with customers (even if you think it’s about matters of taste). They ended up removing the charge for them which was a nice gesture, but we would’ve been more than happy to pay for them and not take them home to cook them ourselves. Unfortunately it’s one thing to make a mistake but I was very taken aback by the response considering the clearly raw beef.
The food was ok but the service was the worst I've had in years. It was so hard to get the severs attention. Then when you try to pay you better have a physical card. We are so used to restaurants having apple pay. They have NO APPLE PAY and WILL TREAT YOU LIKE YOU ARE DINING AND DASHING! Even the hostess stopped him. She was outrageous. My husband is so nice and they were so rude to him. They didn't want us to leave and I even tried a picture of our card. It would be one thing if they let us go get a card, it's another to be so accusing. We live in town will NEVER eat there again. Nor will we EVER recommend this restaurant to anyone.
