Owner is a piece of scum! He needs to go back to his country. He literally hates America and shouldn't be allowed to make money here! Don't give him a dime. Hopefully his staff has found a better place to work
This is my favorite restaurant in San Diego.
This was a great authentic Italian eatery. The food was incredible and staff were so friendly. Highly recommend this place.
Review is based on the owners ability to listen and deescalate a situation which led to a friendly resolution.
What a lovely restaurant. Absolutely delicious. From the comfiness to the cuisine, I felt like I was in Italy!
delicious authentic italian food and great staff! <3
I must've tried half the menu by now, between dining in and UberEats. There's not a single thing I've tried that I wouldn't order again, but the appetizer polenta salsicciq (sausage ragu) is the dish that always keeps calling my name when I return. The owner even recognized me after only my second time dining in, with over a month between visits. This place has quickly become my new favorite restaurant at this price point, and it outperforms many restaurants at higher price points. Also, I almost never order dessert but I will ALWAYS order the affogato al caffe if I am dining in. Try it if you haven't already! -EDIT- Oh by the way, the Tuesday date night is such a deal!! I went there for the first time for that menu and it's what got me hooked.
This review is from about a year ago but for some reason Google didn't post until now Amazing ❣️ We went without reservation around 610 ish on a Tuesday, and it was pretty relaxed. It had a cozy atmosphere. The food was amazing-- we had the Tues-Date special, and it was a mixed seafood risotto (which we asked to be changed into linguini; best choice we've made). We also had the tortellini and vongole, which were great. The food was perfectly portioned, and we enjoyed the dinner from the beginning to the end. Also, I definitely recommend getting the lemon sorbet at the end! We ordered one appetizer, 4 main (2 special menu), 3 desserts, 2 glasses of wine. One note: due to the location, it is quite difficult to find a space to park.
