The attention to detail in Andrea has been unprecedented in order to recreate storied culinary traditions and classic dishes bursting with the true flavors of Italy. Our Chef Luigi Fineo, has sourced the perfect ingredients and implemented time-honored practices and preparations to bring the best of Italy to The "Tuscan Village by the Sea" at Pelican Hill Resort. From salads made with 100-year-old Balsamic vinegar to delicate Potato Crusted Branzino; from exquisite pastas made in a one-of-kind, temperature-controlled Pastaio to the Laboratorio del Gelato producing mouth-watering artisan-style gelato, the food at Andrea is simply captivating. As in Italy, Andrea is seasonally focused, the menu adapting to the finest ingredients available at that time of year. A chic yet understated and relaxed atmosphere is enriched by being located, at the heart of the resort, to capture the most inspiring panoramas of the Newport Coast and the sun setting over the Pacific.
"Pelican Hill is top in class in many ways. Luxury abounds. Wait staff is really attentive and especially helpful with our 3YO grandson. Presentation gets a WOW."

"A disappointment. The appetizers and pasta dishes were good. The risotto was ok. The expensive truffles had no flavor and added nothing to the dish. The lamb was tough, overlooked and not enjoyable at all. I would have been embarrassed to serve that dish to guests myself.
The service was good at the beginning. However it seemed that the server was busy with other dinners and forgot about us.
I would not return."

"One lapse was that they promised bread but it didn't arrive until late into the meal after we asked. The main problem was the noisy music drifting in from the lounge. Otherwise the food was outstanding as usual and service was (except for that one omission) just great."

"We always have a good time here but this time was the the best. Everyone in the restaurant was so friendly and helpful especially our server Melissa. Great food, great view of the ocean, romantic guitar music made a wonderful anniversary dinner."

"Unfortunately, our most recent experience was not comparable to prior ones. Our initial experiences were simply amazing, we were well cared for without being hovered over. This time there was too much activity at the table and made it difficult for family conversation. We learned that the chef was new and it maybe just a matter of time before things are a repeat of prior experiences. At these price points, things need to come up a few notches."

"We were celebrating our 40th anniversary - everything was perfect! I had the four course meal and my husband had salad and lobster tortellene. It was well worth every penny!!"

"Excellent restaurant for a special dinner. Service is outstanding. Hunter is a great server and could not be more attentive. Pasta portions are small but very good. Good wine list but overpriced. $30 corkage fee. We would generally not bring our own wine but the prices are higher than most other comparable fine dining restaurants. Andrea has become one of our favorite restaurants for excellent food and service."

"My wife enjoyed it very much. It is a great place and the food is excellent! Though my wife and I was a bit disappointed with the service. We both felt that we were being hurried up from the appetizer to the main course to the dessert. For a supposedly European/Italian setting,and from having been to European countries, we did not feel the European/Italian service."

"I have been to many very nice places over many many years but the level of service afforded me at Andrea's was the BEST I HAVE EVER RECEIVED ANYWHERE! It was in every respect a delightful experience."

"Went for an early Valentines dinner and this will be one to remember. The food, service and everything was fantastic. Probably our new favorite restaurant for those special occasions.
We will be back again soon I hope."

"This was my second visit to Andrea and it surpassed the previous dining experience. The entire staff was very accomodating and provided exceptional service. I will definitely be visiting this beautiful restaurant again!"

"One of the best meals we have ever eaten! Everything, from the moment we were greeted, through cocktails and the meal, to our departure, was perfectly coordinated and timed. The staff was courteous and friendly, attentive without being hovering. We chose the 4-course prix fixe ($95) and it was delicious! Substitutions were requested, and they were accommodated without the blink of an eye. The atmosphere was elegant without being stuffy. Noise level was quiet, although being a Tuesday night could explain that. Our only regret is that we probably will not be going back, at least any time soon, since we were on vacation to California from NY."

"After all these years of me coming here, Andrea is still the best Italian restaurant in America. At least in my books. The consistency of both food quality and service standard is laudable. High praises to the chef and management. This place is not cheap. It doesn't pretend to be. But it is so worth it."

"We enjoyed the evening. The menue is limited with nothing really over the top. Service was ok, with lots of people running around. The booths are very confortable. The loung music was a treat. It is not a place one would go on a frequent basis."
