The food was really good, everything came out fast and we were a total of 14 people. Service was nice. I LOVED how our waitress was bilingual and spoke with my family in both languages.

We got the stuffed chicken, beef rib ragu and burrata. The stuffed chicken was very dry, ragu flavor was good but the noodles were overcooked and then the burrata was great. We appreciated the service and atmosphere but the food was a let down in general, unsure if it was a one off or a regular occurrence.

Even though the food wasn't really up my alley, this was the best lasagna I have ever had. To be fair, I don't think I have had lasagna in about 5 years, but this one was just different.

If you’re not a vegan and thus know what descent Italian food tastes like, you’re going to want to avoid this place. We ordered an app, a salad and two entrees — and threw all of it away after a few bites.

We sat outside on the patio right outside the restaurant, near the space heater. Although the table seemed too close to the sidewalk, it was a romantic dining experience under the dim streetlight. The food was excellent. The prices are steeper than usual, but for a special occasion, they were worth it. Our server was kind and attentive. My meal, Scialatielli Civico, had plenty of seafood and was delicious. My husband ordered stuffed chicken wrapped in prosciutto. It was a bit of a heavy meal, but the presentation was wonderful.Parking: Paid street parking is until 6 p.m. Since we got there after 6 p.m., we parked for free. Although we parked a little far from the restaurant, it was a nice stroll to have even in the evening, for there are many people walking and dining out.

Had one of the worst dining experiences. First, a child with a bubble machine was blowing right into our food the entire time we were there. The staff saw it going right into our food but did nothing. The food that came out was very mid-tier, aside from the eggplant which was horrendous. Very undercooked. We told our server and he apologized and asked if there was anything they could do. Our guest said could you just give me some basic pasta and sauce so I can eat something. Next thing we know, our bill shows a 20 dollar fee for random spaghetti and sauce! I brought this up to the server and they said they couldn't do anything about it. Absolutely ridiculous. They had every opportunity to do the right thing and they went and nickle and dimed us. Avoid this place like the plague; there are so many better spots than here.

Food was cooked badly. Service was terrible. Spilled my drink, didn't get us another water pitcher til the end, didn't ask if I wanted another drink, ignored us when we asked for the printed receipt. I gave them 0% tip. I would never go back and I feel no one should either.

Truly amazing Italian food. I add the tagliatelle silane e the octopus. I had a taste of the pappardelle and the burrata with prosciutto. My kids enjoyed the kids menu with the spaghetti with meat ball and the spaghetti with burro. Cocktails were excellent. The cannoli were good as well as the tiramisu.
Great restaurant in San Diego's Little Italy. Real Italian cuisine and delicious food. Highly recommended and absolutely great.

Food was just ok. Expensive for the portions. I think you’re paying for the building more than the food.

So fantastic, by far the best Italian food that I’ve had. Gio had excellent recommendations. A friend who no longer lives in San Diego told me they still day dream about this restaurant. Despite high expectations going into the meal, Cívico was still able to exceed them.
