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.

    Foretti's is always a reliable spot for Italian "comfort food" with friendly staff, fast service, good portions and moderate prices.

    Forettti’s never disappoints! We had a 6pm reservation and we were seated immediately which I didn’t expect on Valentines Day! Service and food as always was outstanding! We started out with the eggplant appetizer and wished I had gotten my own order, that’s how good it is! We then shared the Fettuccine Alf, a cheese pizza and a meatball for a little added protein! Way too full for dessert but can’t wait to go back and try a few different dishes!

    I don’t like the overflow tent for Valentine’s Day. It was cold and they were using a space heater to try to warm up the place. When restaurants do something like this I feel like it’s a cash grab bc they want to serve as many people as possible for the Valentine’s Day demand but don’t bother telling you they’re going to put you in a tent. Either sit people in the restaurant and give them what they expect or don’t take their reservation. I could tell other patrons were disappointed as well. The couple next to us also made a comment. Won’t be going back for awhile.

    Johnathan, If the tent was just put up i would say you are 1000% correct. The Tent has been up for 4 years. Just to show you we are not a money grabbing place here is my cell 714 749 3566 please send me your address and when i return I will refund your whole check including tip with a gift card and $50.00 more added to it. I am, traveling so give it a week. I understand your thoughts and yes we probably could have had more heat,but by no means am i out to take advantage of the customer. Look forward to your text Best Thad Foret
