Okay this was our first time to this establishment! It was close to the hotel that we were staying at and we decided to try it! It did not disappoint! :-) the food was excellent the service was outstanding and the atmosphere was also awesome! It was very busy the night that we were there but we got served in a timely manner!

This is one of those places I would never have found on my own, but we were lucky enough to happen across Filomena’s driving through the area. Even though the restaurant is in a common strip mall off the side of hwy 55…. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought the menu and food here came from one of those silly fancy places simple people like me avoid. The service was great and overall we had a good time.

What can i say this a lil gem in costa mesa on newport blvd.
The manager was so helpful , we came from winterfest oc. We got seated for a party of 7. The bread was amazing. The food out of this world i got the mom lasagna let me say waiting 20mins for it . Was worth every bite. Also the champagne chicken is great...
This place has a little shop with goodies .
The dessert was phenomanal we got the tiramisu and cannoli. That was gone in 5mins.
Only one dissapointment was able to serve us as much as we wanted. A fellow server male with a beard and older gentleman was seeving us. The server with the beard was able to substitute a meal for a2yr old. Props to him.
Definately coming back...

You hit on all three or you don’t hit at all. The restaurant seemed clean. The service was subpar and the food mediocre at best. There are chef’s, servers and proprietors far more deserving of your earned income.
Leaving this review I came across some others. Reading comments from Linda and whom ever else making excuses such as it being hard to find help and blaming local government for operating costs. Should certainly be embarrassed.
Your staff’s attitude is a reflection of your leadership.
PS If you have to tell everyone how charitable you are inside the community you belong to. You are not as charitable as you think. Instead of a chefs coat Linda maybe try on some humility.

I applaud Linda for standing up for herself in the recent post. The review that was based solely on an almost 5 year Restaurant Impossible episode should not be a basis to rate an establishment!!! I'm sure my review will be removed. Hopefully Google will also remove that review as well!! Best of luck Linda and enjoy your time with family, you deserve it!!!
