- JJannVIPOrange County •52 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoBeautiful new location, seating options inside or on a covered outdoor patio. Food portions are huge, presented with flare, tasty meal. Service was a bit slow (restaurant had a lot of open tables), not sure if it's an " Italian" thing or what but, overall it was good.More infoBuona Forchetta Newport BeachPrice: Moderate• Italian• Newport Beach•4.7

- JJaneOrange County •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoMolo’s has the best and most authentic Italian food outside of Italy. Everything from the appetizers to dessert were perfect. Our favorite dishes to share are the Cacio de Pepe and Caesar salad. The lasagne, tortellini, and shrimp seafood pasta were incredible. Glad we saved room for the gelato, and spumoni bomb desserts. The service was 10 star. Cannot wait to go back.More infoMoloPrice: Expensive• Italian• Newport Beach•4.7
