Settebello Pizzeria Napolentana in Newport Coast

Jen and I had the pleasure of dining at Settebello Pizzeria Napolentana in Newport Coast at the Crystal Cove Promenade. We came to the unanimous decision that Settebello is one of the most beautiful places to dine in Orange County. Not because they have an ocean view, but because the restaurant space is actually an inside/outside space. It isn't a fully enclosed space, and olive trees grow among the restaurant, around the dining tables.  Naturally, Jen and I both thought,

well, what happens if it rains?

The restaurant still operates and guests receive a more one-with-nature-oriented dining experience; the main dining area is covered and the tables and chairs located in the uncovered area can easily be moved. On warm days, the restaurant will open it's panoramic windows and let the ocean air flow through.

We tasted the Happy Hour menu as well as the regular menu, and it was amazing. Amazing, is actually an understatement. We didn't want to leave, and the Happy Hour menu is one of the best we've ever tasted and experienced. Our faves include the Emilia Pizza (Prosciutto Cotto, Fresh Corn, Panna (Italian Cream), Fresh Mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiona, Basil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil), Bruschetta, and Meatballs. The cocktails are also yummy and look pretty. I hear there's an amazing brunch (with a bottomless mimosa option), therefore, Jen and I will most definitely need to come back for weekend brunch!
