Il Farro was established in 1993 by Domenico Maurici, who dreamed of sharing the authentic flavors of his hometown in Tropea, Italy, with the people of Newport Beach, CA.

​

Specializing in hand-made pastas, breads, desserts, and gelatos, the restaurant uses farro as a key ingredient in many of its dishes. But there’s more to Il Farro than just farro – the restaurant is also known for its mastery with poultry, meats, and fresh seafood, offering a truly immersive taste of Italy.

​

Every dish at Il Farro tells a story, blending tradition with creativity and using only the finest ingredients to craft unforgettable dining experiences.
From the first bite of our signature pastas to the last spoonful of our velvety gelato, we invite you to savor the flavors that have made Il Farro a beloved local destination for over 30 years.

​

Today, the Maurici family continues to serve the same high-quality, artisanal dishes that have earned Il Farro its place as a cherished cornerstone of the community.
