About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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.

    Always one of our favorites in Newport Beach area. Extensive menu, excellent dishes, impeccable service. Loved my black ink infused linguine, Manila clams, calamari, shrimp, fresh fish, chardonnay, fresh tomato and pomodoro sauce, which I always order on my annual Newport Beach visit. This is undoubtedly a labor of love for owner Thad Foret, who is always on top of things even if he may be out of town. What shows in this restaurant is that many of the staff have been there for years. I wish all restaurants were this good and showed this much care for its guests and staff.

    I could’ve picked any restaurant to celebrate my 60th and I just been consistently impressed with Foretti’s. The pizza is the most authentic aside from being in Italy. The pasta dishes are outstanding and the owner gracious and kind.
