Nuovo Amico Pizza & Pasta — Restaurant in Costa Mesa

I spoke to the owner and she told me that customers don’t come first because it was her friends that were there for the pizza place unbelievable joke she moved my pizza to the side when I never said yes to her and she says you’re not welcome here when I used to go there and eat a lot And she says I need to go to church when the customer comes first. Yo, is that your mom or Son? Hey that’s not cool. What she did man for her to move my pizza and I never said yes and then I gave her a call. She gives me attitude. I used to come here a lot, but I’ve been busy and for her to say I’m not here to welcome and for her to meet my Pizza to the side when I was in a good mood I was happy to eat here Ivan as is there is there can I eat here? oh yeah, that’s fine.

This is the best Italian food place I’ve ever been to.the head guy Brent is classic a trained chef . He gets the best ingredients from all over America, sausage from Chicago, homemade bread every morning, the sliced meat is also from Chicago as well. The flavor of everything is amazing, and the sauce , oh man don’t get me started on the sauce. They have meals for the kids that are amazing, huge amounts of food, and if u want something customized, they do it, just ask.even the fries and burgers are gourmet & perfectly cooked! I’ve been there 5 times and I can’t stop. I wanna try the whole menu.lots of room inside, clean and comfortable. Many tvs for everyone, even a nice outside area to dine. The bar selection is crazy. Great draft beer ice cold . They even have parties there if you want. I’m not joking you guys, I’ve been a waiter,and worked in the restaurant many years. Your gonna love this little Italian secret. Aloha 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾 ps they even have premade pizza setups for you to get and...

Maybe bad timing but they were out of 3 main pastas that I love. Lasagne, manicotti and penne so I settled for the chicken picata. It was very watery not creamy at all. I chose fettuccine and it was not fully cooked, boiled/flattened chicken, the meal overall had NO flavor at all. We also ordered a carrot appetizer, it was ok maybe a true dish of Italy? We then ordered garlic cheese bread to take home, that did have a good garlic flavor to it but cheese was not meltly...unsure what was used because it wasn't mozzarella. Lastly, hubby got the flatbread ham sandwich which was a different kind of bread however he said it had no flavor to it either. Overall $89.00 + for lunch, so sorry it was not a great experience for us but we may come back to try the pizza's. P/s: the tables need reglazing because they were very sticky & uncomfortable especially with being a little...
