Costa Mesa Submarina

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[8] • Service:[6] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Good subs.
• People aren't very friendly.

“The subs are great here. Fresh bread, good meat cut right in front of you not pre-cut in a pan. The veggies are great also. The staff isn't very friendly. Great for a quick lunch spot.”

• Special rice.
• The small space.

“The food it fantastic, the staff if accurate, not friendly. I do not go there for the staff. The egg rolls are the best I have ever had.”

Nello Cucina

Overall Rating: 1

• Covered parking
• Poor quality, high priced with mediocre service.

“Have dined here over the years and the quality has dropped significantly in the past year. Our last visit was very disappointing. My entree, the Lasagna, was salty, barely hot and had one corner that was inedible, cooked to a vulcanized state as if micro-waved. My wife's veal was tough and again not very hot. It also appeared to have been through the microwave to reheat. The service was deplorable, the waiter returned to our table and asked if we were ready to order, some five minutes after having taken our order. The restaurant was less than 1/4 full at the time (6:30). He did apologize and then immediately returned with our entrees, the time between order and service being less than ten minutes, leading us to believe that the meals had been pre prepped and just reheated. The after dinner Cappuccino tasted as if made with stale coffee and skim milk and their signature dessert, the sponge with pistachios had that three day old uncovered refrigerator taste. Not a $60 meal! Not recommended!”

• Egg rolls.
• Don't expect smiles and coddling.

“Excellent food! Menu is great, egg rolls are the best Ive ever had, and the service is fast! They aren't the friendliest of people, but it doesn't really matter because you are served so fast. In and out in a matter of 20 minutes. Love this place.”
