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.

    The patio was nice and our server Melissa did an excellent job. She answered all our questions about the menu and was accommodating to our requests. I ordered the amanti pizza and was somewhat disappointed.

    Still very crowded. Was sat at the high top inside the restaurant by the door. The waiters moving through the restaurant were uncomfortably close to us.

    Been at this restaurant for many years. Pizza and appetizers always very good. This night we ordered a scallops special, was not told the cost, and was shocked at the $60 charge!! Plus they double charged for my cocktail!! While they corrected the cocktail charge, they were not interested in my question of the high charge of 4 scallops. Felt taken advantage and will boycott this restaurant and tell my friends. Not cool at all!
