The Villa Nova has been a Southern California dining tradition since 1933. Originally located on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, Villa Nova’s famous clientele included Charlie Chaplin, Bing Crosby, John Wayne and Dean Martin to name a few. It was at Villa Nova that Joe DiMaggio took Marilyn Monroe on a blind date and where Vincent Minelli proposed to Judy Garland.

In the late 1960’s “The Strip” had lost its glamor, and the restaurant moved to the current location on beautiful Newport Harbor. Since that time, Villa Nova has become a landmark establishment in Newport Beach and a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

Villa Nova uses only the finest and freshest ingredients in their entrees. The pasta is homemade as is our signature sauces; we use only the freshest meats and seafood available and Executive Chef, Sonny Mergenthaler, oversees the preparation of all of our recipes.

The award winning wine list has over 800 offerings featuring one of the most extensive collections of California Cabernets and Italian Brunello and Super Tuscans in Southern California.

Villa Nova is one of the only venues in Orange County offering live entertainment every night beginning at 8:00 pm. Villa Nova’s piano bar is the five time winner of the “Best Piano Bar in Orange County.” The Piano Bar features premium spirits as well as an extensive food menu served until Midnight. in our waterfront lounge.
