Antioxidant Soup
This restaurant is very nice. They have an excellent selection of tasty healthy dishes. We like to come here on special occasions before a concert or performance at the Segerstrom center. All in all it's a lovely experience.
Alla Bolognese (meat red sauce)
If you want some authentic Italian food, this is the place! So delicious, the portion sizes are big, and everything always tastes great! Thank you!!
Alla Bolognese (meat red sauce)
We also had the filet mignon and Frico with chicken. The filet was perfectly cooked medium rare, flavorful and served with arugula, potatoes generous enough to share. The al dente fettuccine was toothsome and the perfect vehicle for the bolognese. The service was friendly and conscientious to our needs. The gelato was creamy and rich and the flavors true. My favorites are pistachio, hazelnut, and the cherry and meringue.
Porcini soft Mushrooms, Parmesan, Truffle olive oil
We are SO obsessed with this dish! Every time we come here, I insist that someone orders this so I can pick off their dish as I'm trying out other items on the menu that I've never had before. Moral of the story - don't eat with me OR order an extra plate :) Also, definitely get this dish - it's absolutely the best. Even our server was raving about it.
Pasta Fettuccine or Trofie
From Instagram @mikko_eats - Instead of opting for the usual burger routine, we tried out a new place (for us) at The Camp in Costa Mesa. @vitalycaffe serves up some pretty good Italian food. Would come back here in a heartbeat to try their other dishes. 📸: Cutting Board Delight (assorted Italian Cold cuts and cheeses), Rimini Piadina (Prosciutto di Parma, Buffalo Mozzarella, Roma Tomato, Arugula) & Fettuccine with sausage mushroom cream sauce and grilled chicken. ❤️
Creamy Variations
The chocolate hazelnut gelato is amazing! Everything we've had here has been great. Definitely worth a visit for dinner and dessert.
Porcini soft Mushrooms, Parmesan, Truffle olive oil
Could their porcini dish get any better? I won't go anywhere else from here on out. Thank you, Vitaly!! You're not just my new Italian spot, you're my new favorite restaurant. Ciao, Bella!!
Chococino
I asked Wren for a recommendation. She profiled my taste buds with a few questions and then created this masterpiece! Nutella and Chocolate Cappucino! I had mine with coconut milk. Yes! It is as amazing as it looks! Thank you Wren!! :)
Arrabbiata: spicy, Garlic, Tomato sauce
This sauce has a terrific spice to it! I love a spicy red sauce and this is tops in the OC! I had it on the Gnocchi! It's unbelievable that they make all this fresh on site! I highly recommend both the sauce and the gnocchi!
Piadizza
So delicious!
Waffle European style
This is actually one of the best waffles I have had in the United States, outside of Belgium and Europe. It is exactly what a waffle should taste and feel like. Adding gelato on top is the best combo. Not too big of a size, and not too fluffy like a basic diner waffle that's white, round and doughy.
Chococino
I tried gelato and chococino. Both were top notch! I am a gelato and coffee aficionado and can say they were the best I have had in my life! Really fresh, clean flavor of gelato. The coffee drink was amazing too. I live a bit far but will definitely drive to the Camp just for Vitaly.
Espresso Shakerato
This place has (I think) the best coffee's in all of Orange County. Went on a trip to italy and the coffee was amazing there! I haven't had such amazing coffee until I tried vitaly. They blended the double shot shakerato (I asked for it blended) and brought it out in a champagne glass. It had the most amazing coffee flavor, I felt like I was on vacation in italy, even though I was on my lap top working. I really feel like they brought Italy to california. Amazing place!
Rivabella
Delicious!! My favorite sandwich here, I get it every time I come !
Affogato
I just came back from a two-week vacation in Sicily, Italy. Vitaly's homemade gelato is the closest I could find in Southern California. Coffee is excellent. The owner Maurizio, a true Italian gentleman, is so friendly too. They offer a good variety of authentic Italian food (made right) and healthy Californian cuisine. I highly recommend! -Iris
Montetiffi
Vitaly is the cutest place to grab a bite. Authentic Italian vibes and quality ingredients for a reasonable price. It's a joy to watch the team make fresh Italian style bread in their oven. Their gelato and coffee are not only gorgeous, but also scrumptious. In addition to everything bring delicious, it's just a really nice spot to enjoy friends or read a book with a coffee.
Antioxidant Soup
This soup is sooooo delicious. It's very tasty and warms me from the inside out, not to mention the healthy ingredients with the warm flat bread to go along with it. True comfort food that I crave and can't get enough of. Yummy!!! Oh by the way, a little gelato afterwards hits the spot. 😋
Scoops
The Mint Gelato and the Dark Chocolate Sorbet are out of this world! YUMMY!
Seafood Ravioli
I had the Butter Parmesan and Sage Sauce! This is a must have! The Raviolis are packed with Lobster and Shrimp and the asparagus blend beautifully. The sauce was to die for. What an exceptional dinner this is!
Rivabella
This is absolutely awesome? My first Piadina experience and definitely won't be my last! Must try!
