Description: The attention to detail in Andrea has been unprecedented in order to recreate storied culinary traditions and classic dishes bursting with the true flavors of Italy. Our Chef Luigi Fineo, has sourced the perfect ingredients and implemented time-honored practices and preparations to bring the best of Italy to The "Tuscan Village by the Sea" at Pelican Hill Resort. From salads made with 100-year-old Balsamic vinegar to delicate Potato Crusted Branzino; from exquisite pastas made in a one-of-kind, temperature-controlled Pastaio to the Laboratorio del Gelato producing mouth-watering artisan-style gelato, the food at Andrea is simply captivating. As in Italy, Andrea is seasonally focused, the menu adapting to the finest ingredients available at that time of year. A chic yet understated and relaxed atmosphere is enriched by being located, at the heart of the resort, to capture the most inspiring panoramas of the Newport Coast and the sun setting over the Pacific.

We recently hosted a business dinner at Andrea's Restaurant - Pelican Hill. The service and atmosphere were top notch from the moment we valeted our car to the time we departed. This is a very upmarket resort and if your not used to that kind of atmosphere, you may feel a little intimidated. We timed our reservation early evening on... More

I treated my daughter and her fiancé for an evening meal. Our table on the terrace afforded a perfect view of a perfect sunset. The food and service exceeded expectations. The staff addressed me by name, a nice touch, and were very attentive throughout. Pasta and gnocchi were a hit. This is an expensive restaurant. For our special occasion the... More

The pasta dishes here were amazing! I like that there were many vegetarian options. We live locally and will definitely be back to enjoy some fresh pasta! Thanks for a great experience!

My daughter & I were visiting Newport Beach from NY. We dined at Andrea and wow! From the moment we were greeted, through the cocktails, breadsticks, and meal, to our departure, everything was well-timed and coordinated, and delicious! We chose the prix fixe ($95) and were very impressed with food and presentation. We requested substitutions, and were accommodated without the... More

We've been to Andrea a couple of times before but this really was the best. Everything was spot on last night. Breadsticks got the salt and rosemary totally right; olive bread with the ricotta spread I could have eaten continuously; wine parings we great which had both to do with a wonderful selection of wines by the glass and our...

My wife and I visited Andrea at Pelican Hill twice during 2012, once in August, and a second in October. We live only a few miles down the road in Newport Coast, and wanted a nice place to eat. We had visited years ago when Pelican Hill resort first opened, and to be honest, we weren't impressed and had not... More

The service is outstanding and very attentive to your needs. Just the right amout of interaction. The food is high quality, they offer wagyu beef, which is just out of this world. Wonderful for special occasions or if you just want to treat yourself.
