Looking for a lunch spot that offers great food, fast service and an intimate setting?

Kimberly A. Porrazzo

Looking for a lunch spot that offers great food, fast service and an intimate setting? Head to Soprano’s in Costa Mesa, at the corner of Newport Boulevard and Santa Isabel. The cozy Italian eatery has less than a dozen tables and booths, as well as seating for about four at the bar.

The menu is extensive with choices that include the requisite pasta dishes (all cooked to order) and calzones (made with homemade pizza dough), but also includes selections such as Chicken Marsala, baked lamb shank, and veal Osso Bucco. All can be paired with a wine selection from Soprano’s respectable wine list, all available by the glass.
   
My recommendation: The Penne Con Sargi, a large bowl of penne pasta topped with a sliced grilled chicken breast and sundried tomatoes. It’s bathed in a light cream sauce, flavored with tarragon and congnac.

A delicious lunch for just $9.95.

Finish with a a crème brulee or treat yourself to an espresso truffle, espresso ice cream encased in a shell of chocolate – like one extra-large bon-bon!

Soprano's has a superb Chicken Piccata. The pizza is delicious and their pasta sauces are fantastic. The atmosphere is of a small, family, italian cafe.
