Trenta Pizza & Cucina

Adoro, Perfetto ristorante per cena. mi raccomando la margherita pizza, la focaccia, e anche per dolce il tiramisù.

This place never disappoints, the food is always delicious and surprisingly light especially considering its Italian food. Tonight I had the Gnoochi w Pesto and I always get an order of their rustic bread... absolute heaven! I can talk about the food forever, but I'll just say- see for yourself, I doubt you'll be disappointed.What I especially love about this place is the ambiance and service! It's always a welcome back whenever you're greeted by Giorgio (I hope I'm spelling it correctly) this guy always makes me feel like home. It's refreshing to see waiters who still remember you, greet you and overall just make you feel like family when you're there... Giorgio is that guy!Don't even get me started on their desserts...

very satisfied with the food, service, and ambiance and can't wait to be back to try more and perhaps get one of their aperol spritz to drink. thank you to the owners for being so welcoming and also helping us find parking. the lot is small and their valet service wasn't available today. thank you to our waiter Lorenzo for being so friendly and packing our food. thank you to the kitchen staff for making our delicious meal. all the food came out so quickly. we loved everything we ate here; the napoli had a great balance of tomato, cheese, & basil- something i feel that many restaurants just cannot get right. the prosciutto was a great add on to the firenze pizza; i'm sure it would still be a great pizza without it, though! the house made chili oil was fragrant and gave an additional balance of flavor and enhancement to the pizza i didn't know i was missing all my life. i've never been offered chili oil at an italian restaurant. i loved it much i purchased a bottle. pasta was perfect texture; beet salad was refreshing. no room for dessert, but next time we will. dining is available indoors and outdoors; they have two clean restrooms. can't wait to try more

First time eating at Trenta and we were not disappointed! The food is excellent and aside from traditional Sicilian pasta dishes, the thin crust pizza is amazing. I am now a huge fan!

Wow. The only thing not to love about this place is the outdoor dining when it's raining. The food however distracted me from the misty air and it felt like a wonderful trip to Italy without leaving the confines of Orange County. Meatball appetizer - holy cow these are amazing. I judge an Italian restaurant by the meatballs. These were absolutely incredible. 3 per order but was enough for a table of 4 to share. Arancini - melt in your mouth goodness. These exceeded my expectation and were soft creamy and served at the perfect temp. Bolognese - absolutely fantastic from the fresh pasta to the portion size, sauce to noodle ratio etc. chefs kiss! Mushroom ravioli - about 6 or so per serving, again, enough to share when doing family style with a large table. Sauce was creamy and delicious, nicely balanced out the meatiness of the mushrooms. Trenta pizza - we went spicy and sweet - all three flavors were incredible. A bit pricey at $75 for such a thin crust pizza and our party of 4 easily crushed this. We left a few pieces to take home for a guest who couldn't join us. I think next time I'd do individual pizzas and share that way, and it would end up being a bit more food to pass around. The wine was incredible - had a nice Pinot noir which was my second choice, as the first wine tasted off. I sent it back and there was no issue with that at all. Had two salads and both were delicious and plenty to share. I think next time I'd skip this and get more meatballs :)Family owned and you can tell they care and take pride and grace when attending to their guests. I wish there was indoor seating, as it was cold and rainy. Parking is valet only ($8) and I didn't see any street options available. Lot can fit maybe 6 cars. Food tasted authentic, was high quality and portion sizes reasonable for the price charged. Definitely adding this new find to my OC rotation!

Trenta is one of Newport Beach's most authentic Italian restaurants! Trenta's seating was mainly outdoors, and it was a cozy atmosphere with subtle lighting and beautiful minimalistic decor. Our party ordered the popular favorites like the calamari, torino pizza, and orecchiette alle cime di rapa pasta. The pizza was a highlight as the sweetness of the apple and candied walnuts balanced well with the more savory parts of the pizza. I enjoyed how thin the dough was, and it was the perfect blend between texture and flavor. The outdoor scene is perfect for a special occasion or casual dine in.

Really enjoyed my experience at Trenta Pizza! Here's a breakdown of the order:Caesar Salad- a solid Caesar salad but nothing special.Meatballs- the meatballs were also good, I enjoyed the sauce but the meatballs themselves were a touch bland. Margherita Pizza- loved the crust on the pizza, crisp with a nice bite. The sauce on the pizza was a bit bland but had a strong garlic flavor come through.Amafli pizza- this was the highlight of the dinner. The meat on the pizza was so delicious and just a touch spicy. I recommend this pie!Carbonara Pasta- a very delicious pasta. The pancetta in the dish was so tasty. A good pasta dish if you are going that route!Drinks- we all got cocktails and enjoyed them quite a bit. My brother and I both got a Negroni style drink and both felt that there wasn't much drink in there. It felt like maybe an ounce of drink, but the drink itself was very tasty.Service- the servers were kind, but weren't very prompt in attending to our table. For example we ordered some wine, and it took 15-20 min for it to arrive.Ambiance- the ambiance was great, really cute patio with fire going. Wonderful place to hang out!

Valet only for $8... it's the only other restaurant in that plaza so unless you want to walk, that's the only choice. The outdoor seating is very nice and there was a small amount of tables inside but not sure how many. The service was good and the food came out within a good amount of time.I ordered the carbonara and I think it was made wrong. Looking back at pictures and in previous experience, it wasn't cheesy/creamy at all. The egg yolks were not incorporated well into the sauce and it basically tasted like there was scrambled eggs mixed with pasta noodles. It still tasted ok and I'm still willing to come back to try their pizza though.I didn't order any cocktails but my friends did and they were all good.

Food is amazing! Staff is kind and friendly. The ambiance is great with mostly outdoor seating (with plenty heaters.) Family friendly. The pizza dough is the best I have ever had. I can be sensitive to gluteny dough but this one is perfection and really tasty/chewy in the best way. Everything tastes homemade from the starters, pasta sauces, to the tiramisu. Only mild inconvenience is the parking. Valet is the only option. All the side streets are unavailable so just be prepared to pay 8-10 bucks to park at the place. You could park a few blocks away and walk, but it's a little tricky. The food is so good, we don't mind!

Nice outdoor patio, but because it was a bit cold we decided to eat inside. The inside of the restaurant is more casual but it's cool to see the open kitchen. Lots of vegetarian options. We really enjoyed our Ravenna pizza. The pesto gnocchi was a bit hard and chewy. The rustic bread and spread were tasty. Overall would recommend checking this place out. Valet parking available for a cost.
