Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
stopped by laguna for the beach and stumbled across this restaurant. me and my parents ordered two pastas and a salad. the complementary bread came out early with a great pesto sauce but the bread was cold. Not sure if thats how the food is supposed to come out. Yet, overall the food was excellent!
I tried the Calzone! And it's a 20/10 !! Highly recommended They were also very accommodating with flexibly replacing the ingredients according to my dietary requirements..
Mixed feelings. Food was great, but we came on Saturday evening and it was packed, so waiters were barely managing. We got our appetizers an hour after we sat down. One of 4 orders was wrong (but promptly fixed) and we got the wrong check as well. But we weren’t starving and in good company so it didn’t bother us that much. I think if you aim for a less busy time it will be a fantastic experience. Parking (little lots and street) is too busy on a weekend as well.
I’ve been here countless times and have tried many of their dishes and enjoyed all of them so far. Some of my favorites would be the Zucca Ravioli, wild mushroom agnolotti, Alfredo with mushrooms, and their fungi misti pizza. Their crème brûlée is one of my favorites of all time. They let you customize if you’d like to add or dislike something. Everyone that works there has always been sweet! It can get packed so maybe make reservations in advance. Outdoor seating available.
We had an incredible experience at Alessa, courtesy of Chef Pirozi. The food felt personally crafted for us, with divine flavors, fresh produce, and the finest herbs and ingredients. The dishes were exceptionally delicious, leaving us unable to resist indulging in every bite. Vegetarians will be pleased to find plenty of options available. The cozy and romantic ambience, along with its cool vibe, creates the perfect atmosphere for a date with loved ones or friends. If you find yourself in the Laguna Beach area, Alessa, an authentic Italian restaurant, is an absolute must-try.
