This is Our Story

At Pinafini, our journey began with a simple vision: to create a dining destination that harmoniously blends the rich, sun-kissed flavors of the Mediterranean with the spirit of California cuisine. Inspired by the picturesque beauty of Laguna Beach, we sought to establish a
restaurant that not only serves exceptional food but also fosters memorable experiences.

Our passion for culinary excellence and guest satisfaction is the cornerstone of Pinafini, where every meal is an opportunity to celebrate these culinary traditions, all in a setting that reflects the
elegance and tranquility of the coast.

Pinafini is more than a restaurant; it’s our homage to the art of fine dining and the joy of bringing
people together over a meal that delights and inspires.

Pinafini was born from a passion to blend the sun-drenched flavors of the Mediterranean with the fresh, vibrant essence of California. Set against the stunning backdrop of Laguna Beach, we envisioned a place where food not only nourishes but also inspires. A place where each meal is an invitation to experience the best of both worlds—Mediterranean tradition and California innovation.

Our goal is simple: to create moments that linger long after the last bite. With a focus on high-quality, seasonal ingredients and a commitment to exceptional service, Pinafini is where culinary art meets the relaxed elegance of the coast. Here, dining becomes more than just a meal—it’s an experience, a celebration of good food, great company, and the beauty of the California coast.

Pinafini is not just a restaurant; it’s a reflection of the lifestyle we love—one that brings people together in the spirit of good food, conversation, and lasting memories.
