We happened to come across this Italian restaurant on our walk in town. Had the shrimp pasta and it was amazing. The service and staff are welcoming and we will definitely be back soon. I highly recommend trying this place knowing the pasta is homemade.

Best cannoli in SoCal. It’s actually not listed on the menu they hand you for the cafe so you have to ask for it.

Delicious cakes and flavorful lattes! The cashier and barista were wonderfully help and kind. A cozy cafe to have a drink, study, and socialize.

Perfectly placed in Old Town Tustin, I love how cozy the downtown area already feels. There's 2 sides to Storico, one for just coffee/cafe and the other for food/meals. I went to the cafe. Small parking lot but plenty of free parking. Upon entering, the ambiance offers such warm and quaint vibes. Perfect for meeting up with family/friends to catch up. Staff was friendly and service was fast. I got a cold brew with sweet pistachio maple cream on top, blueberry coffee cake, and just a regular vanilla latte. Cold brew with sweet pistachio maple cream: 9/10 it wasn't too sweet which I like. The pistachio maple cream tasted so good. Def taste both pistachio and maple equally. Doesn't overpower one another. Blueberry coffee cake: 8/10 definitely pretty sweet. Especially with the little icing on top. I think it would pair nicely with black coffee to offset the bitterness of plain coffee but add some sweetness to the palate. Vanilla latte: 8/10 tastes like a regular solid vanilla latte. No crazy frills. Overall cool spot to hangout, study, and get a coffee to spend time with friends/family (:

Omg I'm in heaven. I just tried their Tonno (Tuna) panini with a half salad. Amazing. It's not like an American tuna sandwich you'd expect but more like a tuna focaccia sandwich straight out of Italy. It's made with olive oil, onions and parsley and some amazing spread on it. Delicious! Actually I've been here many times and had different items and I've always had amazing food. In the cafe and in the restaurant! Superb!!!

Their food and service is terrible, asked to talk to Manager as she was serving bakery side she proudly states that “do not have time”, even asked her to hear our complain when she has time, received no response but cold shoulders from staff!

The service was so quick and the food was amazing. Every staff member was polite and kind and took care of my daughter! She loved the rigatoni so much she requested I post a 5 star review!
Food was amazing and so was the wine from their family winery. Pretty decorations and a nice, romantic/fun vibe. Our server, Alesandro, was very attentive and provided great dinner service during their busy hour.

My husband and I LOVE Storico. Such a cute and quaint spot. We have yet to eat inside because it's always busy but they have an outdoor patio area that works just fine. Italian food and Wine , yes, yes, yes

We were recommended to eat at Storico Cafe in Tustin, because they make homemade pasta in house. We were told that the pasta with salsiccia was delicious! We decided to give it a try. The restaurant opens at 5 PM. We got there at 4:45. We were the third party in line. By 5 pm, the line was down the block. We had a glass of red wine, a beer on draft, and the salsiccia rigatoni pasta. It was delicious! The waitress was friendly & accommodating. The atmosphere was casual. They have a bar counter with tvs to watch sports games. I am definitely coming back again!

I can't even give 1 star and not based on the food because the food is amazing. The gentleman that works the hostess table is beyond RUDE. Not only did we wait over an hour for a table (and told for over 35 mins we were the next table) and he came out to say our table was ready just to turn around and say "oh sorry, you're a not the reservation. You have to wait longer and I can't tell you how long!" He was so rude and should never be in a customer service based role. He was so unprofessional and then went to get a manager and she was 10x worse. They way they spoke to customers in inexcusable. Such a shame because the food and owners are amazing. Do better guys!

Amazing! Cute ambiance, great service, and the food was phenomenal! Ordered the calamari and it was tender and had great flavor. The pasta was exactly how I love it; light flavorful sauce, plenty of large shrimp, etc. Excited to try the dessert next time, too full this go around. The half size would have been plenty. But saw a few desserts go by and they looked delightful.
