THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Pizza e Vino Restaurant Review:

At the edge of Orange County, in a sprawling shopping center in Rancho Santa Margarita, stands this quaint little Italian eatery. The narrow space’s juxtaposition of dark woods and sunny gold walls creates a proper trattoria feel, while the uncrowded outdoor patio is a pleasant place to relax with a glass of wine as you dine and people watch. The compact menu is a serviceable mix of classic Italian fare like beef carpaccio, updated takes on favorites like linguini with pesto, and somewhat unexpected items such as roasted bone marrow with slow-roasted garlic. A bevy of wood-fired pizzas dominates the entrées, and traditional preparations like the margherita and the guanciale are listed with options that have advanced toppings, from wild boar sausage to goat cheese. The Neapolitan-style pies can be paired with a selection from among the weekly-changing house-made pasta dishes. Desserts --- cannoli, tiramisu --- are available at meal’s end.
