Osteria Romantica

Fantastic!

One of the most authentic Italian restaurants I have ever dined at, and that’s probably because the owner comes from Italy. This is my go-to favorite restaurant in town. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is warm and welcoming. Even on a super busy night, patrons are met with a smile and a shout of “buona sera!”. I don’t even like eggplant and their eggplant appetizer is my favorite thing on the menu! Never had a bad meal here in the 15 years we’ve been eating here. Grazie, Fabio!

Best place for pasta. Love the fungi porcine ravioli

Great Italian food , beautiful restaurant, superb service

Absolutely wonderful restaurant near the water in La Jolla. I got the linguine and zucchini noodles with asparagus and pesto and absolutely devoured it. My nephew got the gnocchi and truly enjoyed it. Fresh bread topped off the meal. Server was attentive and filled our water without having to ask and checked in on us to ensure that we were enjoying the meal. Truly a lovely experience.

Just excellent. And reasonably priced!

Wonderful Italian restaurant. We went to three in La Jolla and this was by far our favourite. Authentic Italian food and we even were able to speak Italian with our waiter.
