We were visiting a nearby restaurant but stopped here as the other one had crazy wait. This turned out to be a nice little surprise.
They are a bit disoriented with their management though. We struggled to find a table and service was highly lacking - it was chaotic to be precise. This place has a cute ambience and it can do better with efficient management.
However, once we got the table and were able to place our order, everything fell in place. The food was tasty , a lot better than I expected. The pinsas that we got were both very good. The Gnocchi pasta was also to the point.
They have nice dessert options as well , we got the gelato sampler(nice and cute) and the Tiramisu (OK).
Overall - A Good Experience !

They have a charming indoor dining area and a nice outdoor patio area also. Loved the Pinsa or pizza - we enjoyed the Diavola which can be spicy and the Chalet. The Prosciutto and Burrata salad is also delicious. Strawberry Basil Lemonade makes it all even better! Fave desserts were the lemon bars and Salted Caramel Gelato. Our server, Yessie, was so friendly and efficient and made sure everything was perfect for us. Can't wait to go back!

I've been going to Vitaly for years and have always been a big fan of their cafe and pastry. Out of all the Italian cafes I've been to in OC I'd say Vitaly has the most authentic Italian cannoli. Their iced chai is also a regular favorite of mine.
Staff has always been friendly and respectful, definitely going out of their way to make sure your customer experience is enjoyable.

I just stumbled upon Vitaly in Costa Mesa while getting my car tires fixed next door and decided to stop in for a matcha green tea and get some work done on my computer. What a great find! The place is super clean, well-organized, and has a relaxing atmosphere that made it easy to focus. Manel was incredibly helpful and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I’m really glad I found this spot and will definitely be coming back soon for dinner. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Vitaly is Love, Vitaly is home!! I adore the changing menu. I've been coming here for years to enjoy the fresh pasta, it's amazing! I had the squid ink pasta and it was perfection! I love all the desserts, the coffee, and the service! All of it! Whenever I'm in the area this is my go-to spot. As always it costs zero dollars to be kind...So be nice! The owner is passionate about the food menu he curates and always offers recommendations. Listen to him! You won't regret it.
