“The food is amazing and without a doubt could easily contend with the top Italian restaurant businesses within all of San Diego. The staff are all very friendly and make you feel at home. They hustle and by the time I finish my salad my main course is already on its way. The Owner, named Pietro is a very kind and generous man and regularly comes out of the kitchen to visit with the guests. Luciano, the owner’s son also is very outgoing and super friendly. He is also very handsome, nice, and has a shine to his smile ??. All and all. The overall restaurant has a great environment and is enjoyable for a date night, after a long day at work, or even coming straight from the beach.“

Service was excellent even though restaurant was full. Food timing perfect and servers were friendly and fun.“

“This restaurant was a perfectly cozy place to bring our extended family (including two toddlers) to during the Thanksgiving weekend. Reservations were easy to make, the waiter was knowledgeable, prompt, and kind, and the food was delicious from appetizers to their spritzes and main course. Parking was easy, the restrooms were clean and we left happily full and well-served within 90 minutes, which is pretty awesome for a full restaurant!“

“Food is really great but yeah service was slow. My daughter had the seafood spaghetti, my husband had the lasagna, i had the build your own pesto pasta. Their pesto pasta was really good. The dried tomatoes on it was so good. Pesto sauce was creamy. I had shrimp and meatballs on it. Chicken and shrimp would have been better. The build your own pasta is good for two especially if you're having 2 kinds of meat. Their meatballs was big and good, that would be great with the spaghetti not pesto.“

“What more could you ask for in a restaurant? Great food, friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere—all checked off the list! We indulged in the meatballs as an entree, along with the bone-in short ribs, flat iron steak, and bison burger (we're definitely meat enthusiasts). Every dish was superb!For a special treat, don't hesitate to ask the bartender to whip up the Kiwi Kiss Me Martini! Highly recommended.“
