 The Crivello family has been running this Italian seafood bistro by the sea for a couple of decades now. Unlike other Italian-themed restaurants in OC that have built restaurants reminiscent of a Disney set, Ristorante Rumari feels like the real deal. This seaside space, which is located right on PCH in a quaint block of independent shops, looks the part with a red-tiled roof, brick walls and vines crawling up wooden trellises. Inside, there’s that comforting patina of aged white-washed walls, along with old-world touches like heavy wood beams, white tablecloths, romantic seating and antique chandeliers that cast soft light. Chef Vincent Crivello prepares simple, rustic dishes that truly satisfy, such as a creamy risotto di mare or his signature black linguine pasta, quick-baked in foil with Manila chopped clams and tiger shrimp in a tomato and brandy sauce. There’s also a decent wine list, filled mostly with bottles from California, France and, of course, Italy.
