Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Fountain Valley

Fresh new Italian restaurant with delicious food and a beautiful plating. Pomodoro salad was one of the best I ever tasted. Simplicity of yellowtail crudo made it very special with addition of beetroot sauce. King crab ravioli and chicken breast were very fulfilling mains. Chicken breast was stuffed with root vegetable purée, which is tasty, but not for me due to dietary restrictions, so I didn’t expect it and it was not clear from the menu. My husband enjoyed it though. Overall it was a very pleasant dinner experience.

Omar our waiter was superb! One of the best experiences ever! Attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond.

First time diner, fantastic experience only comment on the food was the penne pasta with shrimp a bit heavy on the pesto. Other than that we really enjoyed our experience.

We were there to celebrate a Christmas Eve birthday and once again thoroughly enjoyed it. Cucina Alyssa has definitely become our go-to for this occasion. The hostess held a booth for us because I mentioned how we enjoyed where we set the prior year. Our server was charming and efficient, and the food was absolutely excellent. It was another successful birthday evening for someone whose birthday often gets overlooked, and we’re already discussing what we’re going to order the next time. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Outstanding food and wonderful service! The staff were attentive and friendly. The food was excellent.and
