The best place for desserts in Corona del Mar. This Italian restaurant has pasta made daily in their kitchen. While dinner is amazing, we often stop by for dessert. Some of our favorite desserts are the Rothschild's ice cream pie, raspberry Linzer tart, white chocolate Tartuffo shaped in a heart and the tiramisu.

Sightseeing
A great way to see Newport Harbor is to rent a Duffy boat. These electric boats steer like a car and are super easy to drive. You can see many islands and most of the amazing $10 million+ bayfront homes with 1.5-2 hour rental.

Balboa Island and Little Balboa Island is a quaint neighborhood island. Marine Avenue is the main street with 2 blocks of shopping. Walk the perimeter of the island and find your favorite bayfront home for a 1.5 mile walk. Add in Little Island for another 1 mile. Take the Ferry (Agate Avenue) across to the Peninsula and be a kid again at the Balboa Fun Zone.
