The vibe at Molo 🇮🇹 is incredible! It takes you away & makes you feel like you’re in a coastal part of Italy! Everything is so authentic: the food, the staff, & the overall Italian energy that just makes you feel good! Then never have a problem modifying some of the dishes to make them completely vegan for me. The the quality of all the food is incredible! Sitting on the patio is ideal, it just feels so good to have really nice outdoor dining in Newport Beach! Located right by the water, you get that ocean breeze, and when the sun goes down, it’s perfect lighting. The wine bar just across is awesome too, as you can bring your drinks into the restaurant to continue to enjoy. I’m going about twice a month, and every time it gets better! The salads, the pasta, the bread, the sorbet, everything is incredible! The service is on point, & the prices are fair. I highly recommend to anyone. Just celebrated my birthday recently and had the absolute best time! Molo 🇮🇹 is the hottest spot and Newport Beach! I also love that they pick up the phone to make reservations, it’s just that old-school Italian energy that we all need more of! As an Italian myself, it really really feels like home. ♥️

Obsessed New Favorite Newport Restaurant WE LOVEEEE IT! Great wines by the glass and everything is priced reasonably for the quality and ambiance💕 Highlights so far have been the Bolognese, all the Pasta is fantastic! The Salads are so good! Can’t wait to try it all!! Also sit outside if u can inside is very loud !

We just found out that Molo opened last week on Tuesday as we talked to Andy, our server. What a great find of an authentic Italian restaurant in Newport Beach. Last night’s dinner was sooo wonderful. From the two owners to the wait staff. Lots of parking and the tables outside had heated lamps everywhere. Never felt cold. Now the food is beyond good. I was just in Italy last year and it is so authentic and delicious. The food came out hot – not just warm. Such a pleasure when that happens. The chicken parmigiana was crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. The red sauce is to die for. Delicate and flavorful. The braided short ribs were sliced thin and did not taste overly rich. They hit the perfect balance of light and rich for the gravy. I never knew you could do that for short ribs which is always too rich. The tiramisu was also perfect. I liked the vegan soup very much. Plenty of vegetables. Do ask for some shaved cheese on top because it really elevated the soup. The flatbread and pizza, we are told, are the same thickness. It’s just the shape of them! Their version of the margarita pizza had shaved cheese that melted in your mouth. Again the perfect balance between creamy and rich. The meatballs were also perfection. The right texture and so flavorful. And the sauce with some peas were perfect too. This place is over the top excellent. Highly, highly recommended. We had a blast. Staff were so polite and the two Italian owners and the Italian chef really hit it out of the park.

Molo is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped inside, we were welcomed by a charming atmosphere that transported us straight to Italy. The decor was inviting and cozy, creating the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The menu offered a wide variety of authentic Italian dishes, each crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients that tantalized the taste buds. Every bite was a burst of flavor, showcasing the culinary expertise of the chefs. The service was impeccable; our server was attentive and knowledgeable, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. And let’s not forget about dessert – the tiramisu was absolutely divine! Light, creamy, and utterly satisfying. Molo has quickly become our favorite spot for Italian cuisine, and we can’t wait to return for another unforgettable meal!
