Rumari - Italian restaurant in Laguna Beach - 1826 S Coast Hwy, USA

First time and it won’t be the last, so happy my wife and I try this restaurant. It took us back when we visited Florence. Everything we order was prepared and seasoned perfectly. I order my drink name after my daughter and me and they made it to perfection, I call it the Arabella Sprits: Aperol, Prosecco, Limoncillo and Tequila with a slice of Orange. Try it you’ll love it.. The service was top notch and love that the chef walk around the restaurant talking to us. Can’t wait to go back and try other dishes.

We went there for valentines and it was lovely. They have a nice patio with a peaceful view of ocean sunset! For sure you can find other restaurants with better view but everything here was good. The waiter was so friendly and helpful. Good red wines. And good foods. We ordered fettuccine with shrimp and chicken. It is not really fancy restaurant but fir what you pay it was good. I definitely recommend it. For two with two glass of wine and 20% tip, 95 bucks!

Was surprised upon our arrival inside the restaurant as they had us follow them outside up a paved road to a rooftop restaurant. It was a unique experience with somewhat nice views of the ocean. I will say that the service was spectacular from an authentic Italian server, possibly Sicilian. Wine suggestion was magnificent but my expectations were high after he was raving on and on about the dishes being the best there is in town. They weren't bad but definitely not something to write home about. I still tipped him very well due to his enthusiasm and positive attitude.

what a disappointment! Me and my wife dine for great food all the time and we thought we would try a new spot which I hate to do unless I know its going to be good, taking the risk of ruining you night and hard money is not what I want. The place looked cozy with a great atmosphere and we were welcomed in by a smiling face , the service was average. NOW, the important part , the FOOD. probably the worst food ever! The dry chicken probably cooked hours ago and heated upon order, the taste was horrible , slimy chicken skin with dry chicken cover with sauce to hide old cooked food is how I would describe it. The Pasta tasted like it was under cooked and flavor of the sauce was worse jarred shelf products from a cheap market. After 2 bites we just wanted to leave and did NOT eat our food. We paid the bill and left. On the way way out I think our waiter realized that we were disappointed since we did not eat but 2 bites and informed the lady at front door. She caught up to us and asked multiple times till she got the real answer of our experience. I had tell her . Anyway we spent hard earned monies and a ruined night this why when you find a good spot never veer from it !! I have no idea how this place has so many stars.

Celebrated a 50th birthday party of 7. Everyone ordered and everything was delicious. Just the best!!!. You can taste the pride chefs put into their dishes. The waitress was excellent too. I wish we lived there, we would be there all the time.

The Oceanview outdoor dining experience was so fun at this restaurant. My client chose to come here to celebrate The purchase of his new home. He has been friends with the owner for 30 years he says. I had delicious homemade ravioli from them. So rich and creamy! The bread with oil and balsamic was wonderful as well.

Food is absolutely delicious! Manager was very kind checking in on us. However, felt the bald waiter with glasses was kind of just brushing us off. Especially when I was inquiring about our check. I was mid sentence and he walked away. Then inquired again about splitting checks, half a response as he walked away again. Our group decided to just have one person pay and try to figure out the crazy math later… not a fan.

This place is awesome. Each and every time we have felt special. The soufflé is amazing, it takes time so be mindful. Mo is frequently our server and we’ve had the pleasure of being serenaded by him and the head chef. This place knows how to make a special night a whole experience.
