“We have always loved Bernini's! Every time we come here the service is always wonderful and it's a great experience with the best food! We really love their breakfasts too, haven't had for a while because the timing hasn't been right. We'll be back soon. I miss the lemon ricotta pancakes!“
“I went here with my family visiting all the way from Sweden and had no expectations. They exceeded beyond anything else I have been to in the area. The food was absolutely phenomenal and the service as well. We had a lot of questions and our waiter knew every inch of the menu down to where the ingredients where picked. So grateful for the view, atmosphere and overall experience. Favorite dish was the smoked duck liver appetizer, and sunchoke entree. And if you have room for more the Nutella semifreddo was delicious!“
“5 stars all around! Exceptional service, incredible food, and authentic atmosphere. They also have reasonable prices! Given it was a Thursday night, we walked right in and they sat us immediately right next to a peaceful little fountain. They made us feel so welcome and even heard from other locals how incredible their food was. I didn’t have huge expectations for the (kids) Alfredo but it was so flavorful I was pleasantly surprised. Wish we saved room for dessert. I would 100% go back.“
“This is an excellent, old-school Italian restaurant hidden in a small hotel in the heart of downtown La Jolla! I've lived in San Diego for years but never knew about Manhattan of La Jolla until a friend recommended it. Do you know how hard it is to find a restaurant these days that is QUIET? OMG... such a delight (and a relief)! If you don't like it quiet, you can sit in the lounge area with live music that's not too overwhelming. If you prefer a quiet experience, ask to be seated in the booths away from the music. We recommend the tableside Caesar salad. The cannelloni and spinach and cheese ravioli were both excellent. The waiter was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. He also boxed up our leftovers. This doesn't seem like much, but it is a rare service in restaurants these days and was appreciated. GREAT evening!“
“Amazing ambiance. Amazing bread and oil and vinegar. The pizza was incredible. No price gouging. Food came out quick. The service on the back patio could've been better. The female server was good but appeared to be spread too thin possibly. She was the only server in the back full of people and the front had 4-6 people. I still give it a 5 star. I will definitely be back!“
“Great local spot with true Italian and seafood options. I came here with a large party and we had excellent service and great quality meal. I highly recommend if in the area and seeking Italian. I ordered the linguini clams and it was filling with a great sauce! Well done Osteria!“
“Takes you back to the streets of Italy,authentic homemade recipes by this family owned restaurant.. not greasy and heavy cheese loaded like most Other places..Tiramisu is the best you will ever have in US( we have been also ordering a full cake for birthdays since past 3 years)“
“Found restaurant by accident because the service at Barbarella was terrible and Piatti was right across the street. We met some friends from Vegas and wanted them to have a great experience. This was definitely the place. The food was excellent and even the manager jumped in as a server. A++. We'll be back!“
“Brunch here was very nice. * The view over looks La Jolla from inside the hotel. The staff provided great service and were very attentive. Blooy Mary's, Mimosa's, and the Salmon Bendict were filling and very good. Overall, it is a cozy and quaint restaurant to “
“The cashier/food runner Rebecca is extremely insincere and frankly bad at her job. I asked for her name just so other customers can avoid an unpleasant interaction. The other employee were honestly very kind and helpful. I had asked Rebecca for a refill just to have her tell me to ask her coworker. She then proceeded to go behind the counter and flirt with the clearly uncomfortable male employee who ended up actually providing my group with satisfactory service. Food was amazing and the restaurant itself is very clean and well operated aside from the one unpleasant employee. I won't be giving one star because everything else made up for it.“
“I have been to Marisi 5 times in the last two months. It's my favorite restaurant in La Jolla! The cocktails are amazing, especially the apricot old fashioned!!! The appetizers are delightful-the Prawns are my favorite! The pasta's are all excellent. Even though it's an italian place, the porterhouse is one of the best steaks in town; worth the price in my opinion. Love all the staff as well! See y'all again soon!“
“We shared our anniversary dinner here with some friends and had a wonderful experience. The food was great and creative, the wine pairings were wonderful and the staff was amazing. You should note that the restroom is outside and downstairs so not very accessable.“
