The Villa Nova has been a Southern California dining tradition since 1933. Originally located on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, Villa Nova’s famous clientele included Charlie Chaplin, Bing Crosby, John Wayne and Dean Martin to name a few. It was at Villa Nova that Joe DiMaggio took Marilyn Monroe on a blind date and where Vincent Minelli proposed to Judy Garland.

Top of the Villa is the premiere private party facility on the water in Newport Beach. Our Special Events Coordinators are experienced professionals who are happy to assist you with all of your party planning needs.

One of the only venues in Orange County offering live entertainment every night beginning at 8pm, Villa Nova’s piano bar is the five time winner of the “Best Piano Bar in Orange County”.
