Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Laguna Beach

Mike the sheriff was our waiter and he was amazing!!!! He made sure me and my friends had an amazing experience. We will definitely be back to see sheriff Mike again ...

Two Thirty Forest is always terrific! The food, the service, the ambience all of it! We’ve been going there for over 20 years! We’ve never been disappointed

Nice cozy place to have dinner with good friends. The service was excellent

So friendly and helpful waitresses and great food. They accommodated my small dog’s presence and made me very comfortable having her with me despite other restaurants in California these day!!! I really appreciated that and enjoyed my food, beautiful patio ambiance and nice atmosphere with my friends. We had a 2 years old child with us too, gave him a paper snd crayon to draw/get busy, brought his pizza quick and everything was great. Amazing wine options to drink and buy! We bought 2 bottles of an amazing 2020 red wine from their collection at the end. I will be definitely back with MY DOG and friends! The steak was delicious and great quality. Thank you CUCINA enoteca :)

It’s been a while since I’ve been here and I was pleasantly surprised they now have house-made pasta, prepared perfectly Al dente too. Squid ink pasta and short rib pasta are the go-to’s. Prior experience with their bolognese made me not want to come back because it’s really hard to mess up bolognese. I think you just have to know what to order. Italian chopped salad also another great one to try.
