Foretti’s CDM established itself as a highlight of the Newport Beach dining scene when it opened in 2013. Operating under the new ownership of longtime Restaurateur and Level 1 Sommelier Thaddeus Foret, we continue to prepare our signature recipes, created by the restaurant’s namesake chef and his culinary team—many of whom remain in our kitchen today.

Foretti’s is a celebration of Italian traditions, specializing in authentic Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana-certified wood-fired pizzas baked in a 900 degree oven with the same techniques and ingredients used in Naples, Italy.

We also feature house made pastas and favorite dishes from across Italy, expertly paired with craft cocktails and a curated selection of Italian and California Wines; several from Orange County wine owners.

Thad Foret brings more than 30 years of experience in hospitality to Corona del Mar, and has been a standard bearer for restaurant operations in the region.

    Forettti’s never disappoints! We had a 6pm reservation and we were seated immediately which I didn’t expect on Valentines Day! Service and food as always was outstanding! We started out with the eggplant appetizer and wished I had gotten my own order, that’s how good it is! We then shared the Fettuccine Alf, a cheese pizza and a meatball for a little added protein! Way too full for dessert but can’t wait to go back and try a few different dishes!

    Foretti’‘s homemade pasta makes everything worthwhile.  530 seems to be the popular reservation as it was packed. Parking on a Friday night was not as difficult as I originally thought.

    Owner was quite responsive through open table text to my questions about warmth of sitting on patio, assuring me we would be toasty. He was right. We enjoyed a lovely dinner on the enclosed patio at a time we otherwise would not have been able to get a reservation. The house made pasta was delicious, both the red and Alfredo sauces flavorful, I had the lamb ragu pappardelle, delicious. The focaccia and pesto, fried olives and baby kale salad also very good, and the chocolate soufflé wonderful. Generous wine pour.
