Filomena's Italian Kitchen & Market

Muy buena comida pero mucho mejor atención de Many! 100% recomendado!

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!!!

What a hidden jewel in Costa Mesa. I was looking for an Italian delicatessen and found Filomena's they have sandwiches and a full restaurant with a bar with beer and wine. The people are friendly and the service is excellent. They have an extensive menu in the restaurant which includes pizza as well as a deli. I've lived in the area a year and a half and this is the best restaurant I found

I highly recommend Ruben as your server. He’s very patience, kind and does an amazing job! They have the best chicken piccata pasta incase you don’t know what to order. The restaurant is also very clean and cozy.

I wouldn't eat here purely because of owner Linda's tantrum on Restaurant Impossible. She is a prime example of someone who has to run her own business because nobody would want to hire her. I hope she changed the way she acts in the work place because she did not represent herself well. She may reply to this review by saying that the show made her look bad, but she would be wrong. She made herself look bad.

I’ve been eyeing this place for years and I’ve finally had a chance to give it a try. Market: They have noodles, cookie dough, to-go items you can eat in the car. Yummy cookies, my favorite are the wedding cookies! They also have pasta salad and gelato as well as wine to pair with pastas. Restaurant: We had - Calamari: super fresh tasted so good Bruschetta: maybe one of the best ones I’ve had. Not to hard to bite through toasted to perfection Fettuccine Alfredo: with an addition of Chicken for the protein - this was the best fettuccine I’ve ever had. The service was great, very attentive. The place is such a cute little gem so close to my house. Please go and check it out. Definitely going to be making sure to visit once a month.

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.
