“This restaurant was so amazing. The ambiance was great, it feels like your in italy and the service was superb. The waiters and the owner were very kind and funny. The food was delicious and each serving is quite large. We ordered the fettuccine alfredo, lasagna, fettuccine with clams and pizza Margherita and everything was top notch. For dessert we had the limoncello cake and the pistachio and ricotta cake which were delicious. They gave out table shots of limoncello which concluded the night on a great note. Overall we loved this place and would totally recommend it and definitely and come back!“
“Cesarina is our favorite place for a special meal. The patio ambiance is so relaxed and comfortable. The service is impeccable without being stuffy and the food is just amazing. Don't miss the tiramisu. Thanks Daniele for a great evening“
“Absolutely delicious coffee and not overly sweet. So grateful that they had a vegan option for the classic Saigon Coffee as well. The line was long but the employees worked through it very quickly and were happy to answer any questions. Can't wait to come back!“
“****Get here very early, no reservations, and lines start 30-45 mins before the place opens*****We heard this place was on the Michelin guide and decided to give it a try. We came on a Monday morning 30 mins before they opened and were surprised to see a line already forming. We ended up waiting for a table, no longer than 20 mins, but it was definitely worth the wait!!We love the vibe of this place, very playful with the decorations, and the energetic and funny staff. The food was amazing, with a very unique breakfast menu we had a hard time choosing, but ended up getting the steak and eggs and the Khachapuri. Steak was cooked perfectly, and the Khachapuri was a unique twist on breakfast that i really enjoyed! The drinks were also top-notch. We got the carmel latte and a matcha latteThe place is relatively small, so if you do not want to wait for a table, you can opt for seats at the bar, which are just as good with some more decorations and view of little Italy. Would highly recommend and lookong forward to. Going back when we visit Cali.“
“We were looking for a local place, a hole-in-the-wall, to try some fresh and good tacos…and Oscar’s did not disappoint! It’s a small no-frills joint with flavorful tacos. We ordered the fish, shrimp, and smoked fish tacos. The smoked fish tacos is a MUST! The mixed ceviche was fresh and delicious. They offered a free sample of their fish soup when we were there - I would’ve ordered a bowl. It was so good! and oh so good ?“
“Great fresh seafood! We ordered the grilled octopus, the steamed clam + mussels, ceviche, and fish n’ chips.First everything you can tell is fresh- something I truly appreciated. The grilled octopus was perfectly cooked and comes with a delicious salad. One of the best octopus plates I’ve had. The steamed clam + mussels were also delicious- it actually reminded me of one of my favorite meals I had on a visit to Portugal. Fish n’chips were also very good.Ceviche was meh. I would recommend not getting this. If they could take it off their menu, even better because the other things they have are so great.“
“The tacos here are awesome. Very unique flavor combinations. Some more traditional than others. The service is a little weird. You order at the bar. The bartender took one order, then stopped and made drinks, then another order and so on. They really need a dedicated person for orders. The food came out fast but then nobody ever came back to check on us. The lowest tip option that wasn't "custom" was 18%. That's a big tip for almost zero service. The drinks were just ok. Nothing special. Next time we're going to stick to the tacos.“
“What a delight!!We had:Scallop CrudoSwordfishScallop RisottoHalibut + ChipsWe loved the Scallop Crudo as a starter to share. It was tangy and fragrant, a delight to the taste buds that prepared the palate for the next course.The swordfish was cooked to perfection, with a tasty blend of flavors. The Risotto was delicious.The atmosphere was lively, warm and friendly.Definitely a must if you are in the area!“
“Speakeasy is no longer for cocktails. Ice cream has come into the picture and I'm here for it. The flavors change monthly. The employees are so nice they allow you to sample each flavor. They have dairy free options. You can get it on a cone, cup, or even pints to go. I love coming to north park to eat and then stopping here for a lil dessert.“
“I've come here a couple of times now, and the food is delicious! I would say that this location is better than some of their sister restaurants! The only downside i would point out atmosphere-wise is that theres some hodge-podge stuff innthe corners and you can see cords and plugs here and here (very minimal "issues"). Sydney served our party this visit and was very kind!Parking: As is expected with any place in Convoy, parking can be hard“
“Visited this spot first night in San Diego, my girlfriend and I were seated right away on a Monday night. The ambience gives a modern vibe with chill and slow r&b/classy music. Our server checked in with us multiple times while another server made sure our cups were never empty or close to empty. Customer service A+. When I read the other reviews I expected the food to live up to the hype of the reviews people left, and the food did not disappoint one bit. Authentic Italian food is the perfect way to describe the food. The diavola pizza was spicy, cheese and tomato sauce was cooked perfect, crust and border was light and crisp, salame was tasteful, 10/10. For the calamari and shrimp, they were fried lightly and rated fresh. I would say the marinara different from most places, I don't really know how to describe it but I would prefer other marinaras at other Italian restaurants. For the penne cremosa, I enjoyed the penne pasta itself as it was not too flimsy or soft, instead the penne noodles were a little more rough. The white cream sauce was not over cooked, not too creamy, just right. However, there is a lot of mushroom in the dish so if you are not big on mushroom it will be a bit overwhelming lol. Not pictured which my girlfriend ordered was the tagliatelle with arrabbiata sauce. I'm not a big red sauce guy, but tasting her pasta I would order that myself. It had a little kick of spice in it and the flavor and seasoning in the sauce was just so appetizing. I would 100% come back to this restaurant and I 100% recommend this restaurant to any new comers and visitors like myself. They definitely deserve 5 stars for not only their authentic food but exceptional customer service.“
“Where has this place been all my life??? It feels like a spa. All tucked away from the hustle bustle. Lots of green and chill vibes. The friuted sour is literally all I ever wanted in a beer. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. This place is the perfect location to start your night out, or come for a quick break from life. Def will be back “
“The newly redeveloped Lexington market features a variety of vendors in a bright, airy, clean l, and safe indoor space. Most of the booths are food and there is a huge diversity in thier offerings. So far I have purchased food from the Korean restaurant, the potatoe resteraunt, and a coffee place. Everything has been perfectly made and the vendors are so friendly. I'll be back to shop at the butchers soon as well.“
“First visit to Wormwood and it was an excellent culinary experience. It was a bit loud in the dining room and it is not a cheap dinner date but the service was phenomenal and the food and drinks were, for the most part, delectable. Tonight we ordered a farmers loaf of bread to share which came out steaming hot and accompanied by a delicious butter. We also ordered the French Onion dish that made my eyes roll to the back of my head. Let’s suffice to say I could have just ordered a couple of those French Onion apps and been perfectly content without needing a main dish. Nonetheless, our party ordered the Sea Bass, Chicken and the mushroom pasta dishes as mains. Everyone was happy with their meal and the plating was beautiful as you can see in the pictures. Overall it was a great meal - maybe not a regular date night sort of place but worth it for an occasional splurge.“
“Third time eating at Tribute Pizza, and still did not disappoint! This time, we ordered the brussel sprouts and The Brooklyn's Best Pizza. Both were incredible. The waiter was right, that those caramelized onions on the pizza is the best in the region. Service was on point and atmosphere was very casual/cozy!“
“Updating my review as I fondly remember my visit here more than a year ago. Best restaurant I've ever been to. Got a table by the kitchen and the chef working there was wonderful to talk to. Top notch service, amazing staff. I've never had a better culinary experience. Hope to return here soon.“
“This was the best restaurant experience I have ever had. The waiters were very friendly and attentive. Our order arrived on time, and most importantly, the dishes were delicious. I visited the place with my wife, and she was very pleased. As they say, a happy wife equals a happy life.“
“Best breakfast of 2024. The duck and truffle omelette is definitely catapulted my cholesterol levels to the moon but it was worth it. It was greasy due to the truffle oil and eggs but absolutely delicious. The restaurant has indoor/outdoor seating. Music was on point and staff was energetic. A great spot for Sunday brunch“
“Ciccia Osteria is a gem of authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of Barrio Logan. The chefs, Mario and Francesca, use recipes from Northern Italy and pair them with exquisite wines. They even bake their own panettone, a traditional Christmas cake. The restaurant has a cozy and charming atmosphere, with food made with love. However, parking can be tricky, so I recommend taking an Uber. They accept walk-ins, but make sure to dress warmly in winter, as they only have patio dining.The menu has a variety of dishes to suit every taste, but my personal favorite is the mushroom flan. It is creamy, savory, and simply delicious. I also enjoyed the milanese veal, which was tender and crispy. The smoky old-fashioned cocktail and the roccotta olive oil spread for the fresh bread were also amazing. And of course, I could not resist their lasagne, which was rich and satisfying.Ciccia Osteria is my new go-to place for Italian food in San Diego. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their dishes. If you are looking for a genuine and delightful Italian experience, you should definitely check it out.Ciccia Osteria has earned a Bib Gourmand designation from the Michelin Guide. This means that it offers good quality and good value cooking, which is rare to find these days.Parking: Take an UberWheelchair accessibility: Ease first floor.“
“I love Poma's!! Always fresh and flavorful, the Roast Beef Grinder with Au jus on the side is fantastic!! Eggplant Parm Grinder as well as the Italian.. can't go wrong. Their full dinners and garlic bread are perfect to share. Great prices for quality food.“
“Stumbled across this gem. If you're in the San Diego area, I highly recommend. The food was great and so was the service. Ribs and pulled pork were my favorite. Sides were delicious too. Mac, baked beans, and slaw were all good. The corn bread is the best I've ever had. Spacious place to hang out with friends.“
“The menu isnt extensive but has classic pasta and starter dishes. We started with the classica bruscetta and buschetta prosciutto & fichi, and the classica bruschetta was my favorite. The freshness of the tomatoes and flavor of the pesto was impeccable. We tried the cheese wheel pasta that comes with special pasta of the day (gnocchi with mushrooms and truffle) tossed in a cheese wheel and served in a pan. It was on the heavier, creamier and cheesier side and i would recommend it for those who are looking for a ooey gooey dish of pasta. Our server recommended the stuffed lobster and shrimp tortelli pasta. The sauce is creamy (but not as creamy as the cheese wheel pasta) and is made with tomatoes. The dish is topped with a big ball of burrata. We tried the espresso martini and cosmopolitan. The espresso martini had more of a strong coffee than bold liquor flavor, but the cosmopolitan was a little sweet and boozy. Overall, it was a solid meal and be prepared for a food coma afterwards. The interior is beautiful with wine bottles, paintings and pictures hanging on the wall. Street parking is the way to go. Our server was friendly, and the portions are generous for its price point.“
“I travel a lot and stop by local mom and pop coffee shops often to enjoy some caffeine of course and get work done while one the road. I stopped by this location passing through San Diego. What a pleasant surprise. Greeted by the owner Victoria and her wonderful personality and smile I ordered a delicious coffee of sorts along with one pastry, and one more to follow. The I was entertained by a gentlemen playing an accordion while the owner sang along with an amazing voice. This food, environment, drinks all 5 star. Must stop by and enjoy the experience. Cheers“
“This place is awesome! The whole menu is great! I had the Japanese curry, fried chicken and rice bowl. It was amazing! The kind of food that makes you want to rush home and eat!You can order online before you arrive, or order at the place…if you have any questions about the menu, they willing to explain anything and even make suggestions.If you ever visit the Pacific Beach area, definitely stop here for food!Vegetarian options: My wife is a vegan….and she found a bowl that she absolutely loves!“
“My absolute favorite place in San Diego and fav breakfast place anywhere. Great food, great team, awesome location and ambiance. I come here every time I'm in San Diego and could eat here every day if I lived closer. Shout out to my guy, Alfredo, who always takes great care of us!“
“Great customer service at this location! Jenna helped us out and was very welcoming and kind. We got the Blue Lagoon and Coco Love with the Mango Coconut water and it was amazing. Will definitely be coming back, the location was also very clean.“
“My favorite place in all of San Diego. A locally owned restaurant that makes everything (bread, pastries, deli meats, etc) from scratch and does not compromise on flavor and quality. The açaí bowl and egg n’ biscuit sandwich are my favorite dishes along with their scones.“
“We love love love Luna Grill. We order from this location all the time. The food is always fresh, prepared well and tastes great. The service is top notch. I've honestly never seen a place run so well with workers so polite from the moment you walk in to the moment they say goodbye.“
“This place was really great for gelato. The location was nice as well. We got our gelato and walked down to a near by park that gave us a great view of the ocean. We enjoyed the moka, coconut, chocolate, and berry vanilla flavors which were amazing. I’m definitely going back to taste more flavors and maybe even get a pint or two.“
“Definitely the best ice cream I’ve ever ever had. Embarrassed to say it took me this long to finally go. I had the mint (which is more like a sweet, natural mint vs the standard like toothpaste mint vibe) and the Skrewball Peanut Butter. Can’t believe Handel’s has been conning me. See you soon Dave!“
“My friend and I went here yesterday for their new brunch service and it was really great! The food was excellent (we had the fruit w/ mascarpone and I had the breakfast sandwich w/ potatoes) and the flavors were perfect. The decor was really cool and everyone that worked there was really lovely. I had no idea what to expect since we kind of found this place by chance, but I highly recommend it. It is in a bit of a random location, but don't be dissuaded by that. As an extra bonus, they have those amazing Japanese toilets in the bathroom, so don't skip that haha.“
“We are gelato aficionados and the combination of the genuine stellar service and super delicious gelato make this place a 5 in our book. If we weren’t from out of town, we would be regulars. The owner was so kind and encouraging of us to try whatever we wanted to make sure we loved whatever we ordered even though there were a few people in line. He made us feel so welcomed and valued as new customers. We will be back again when we visit San Diego in the future.Kid-friendliness: So happy to help our kids choose their desired flavors.“
“Mashallah, the food is good and deliciousWe had breakfast with them and ordered a Kosi lamp banana, and the food was good and delicious. Also, the meat and chicken shawarma. The meat was 10/10 and the chicken was 9/10. The sister was there and her service was good. Thank you for the welcome.“
“The food was really good. However, the restaurant is very short staffed. There were two waiters for the entire restaurant which was full. The same waiters were also making drinks, helping with to go orders, and seating people. In essence, it seemed like they were doing everything besides kitchen duties. It was Saturday in the evening. They need to actively look into hiring additional staff. At least 2 more waiters per shift and a hostess. I saw one of the waiters hit his leg on a bench because he was seriously trying to work as fast as humanly possible. I would go back because the food was bomb, but perhaps at opening time or early afternoon on a weekday when perhaps they are not as busy!“
“Amazing little restaurant tucked away in the Horton Plaza. There isn’t anything negative to say! Everything from the atmosphere, food menu and most importantly, the service was amazing!! Highly recommended as a must visit if you are vacationing or simply passing through the area to a must if you live or frequent the area. Menu had simple selections and everything from the appetizers to entrees were perfectly timed. My only wish is to be able to bring it to the East coast! We will be back ❤️.“
“The storefront is small, but the employee who helped us was very friendly.The serving size for a double scoop was generous, and the quality was good.Try the mint chip! It's a really excellent version of what it is.Vegetarian options: All of the ice cream is vegan.Dietary restrictions: This place is good for anyone eating vegan or gluten-free. It's even Celiac-safe!Parking: Easy parking, though the storefront itself is tucked into the office park.“
“It's been a while since I've experienced such aesthetic and flavorful delight!!!Every dish is a masterpiece, and the drinks deserve special recognition. The Tiramisu Latte has divided my life into before and after!!!I highly recommend it to everyone!!!“
“Not the biggest fan of Gelato in general, but by some luck we found parking right outside for our dinner location just down the street. On the way back, we were offered a sample and the super helpful staff helped explain all the flavors and options. It was so tasty that I am a fan of Gelato.I can't spell but the general vanilla with chocolate flakes was amazing. At the time they had a special olive oil flavor on too and though it sounded odd, it tasted really good. Highly recommend.“
“Stumbled across this wonderful coffee shop while visiting old town San Diego. A gem of a place, wonderful service and the coffee was delicious, there were 6 people in my party and we all enjoyed our drinks. I highly recommended stopping by and having a delicious cup of coffee or espresso.“
“I've been going to Mariscos MI Gusto Es for over 10 years! Everything on their menu is Delicious. My personal favorites are the tacos de Gobenandor, Marlin Tacos and their Cockteles de Campechana..It's family owned and operated❤️Arturo and his wife are super friendly and always greet you with a smile?“
“A great brewpub in the Gaslamp. Tasty beers, attentive staff and super dog friendly. Lots of special offers, like game day discounts, which is also nice to see. Didn’t eat here, but the food looked good. A good place for hanging out with your mates.“
“Nice to little cafe inside the TD America building. I got the French toast special with both sausage and bacon. And then my friend got the waffle special. Everything was excellent. Eggs were scrambled perfect, sausage was flavorful, bacon was meaty and flavorful, and the French toast and waffles were both very good. We will definitely be back.“
“We had a craving for REAL street tacos, specifically quesabirria and we were not disappointed! We ordered: chicarron, shrimp and asada Street tacos (all very delicious) and a couple quesabirriaThe place was super clean, and the patio area outside was super cute. Staff was very friendlyWe will definitely be back when we are in town! A short bike ride from the beach. We are so happy we found authentic tacos!!“
“Still dreaming of that vegan Churro Ice Cream cone… Wonderful and large selection of ice creams, many dairy-free choices, plus super kind staff (though they were working solo- so things were moving slow). The patio made for a nice sunny rest spot to enjoy our treats. Great kid-friendly spot.“
“We just stopped by for a beer and Hailey was super helpful with the selection they had! Gave us a round and made us feel like it was our own neighborhood bar. Hard to find these days. Definitely coming back for the service and the slow braised brisket chili!“
“Rare Society is one of the best restaurants for our Christmas Eve dinner. The rib eye was so tender, even when asked for well done. Mine was a bit too charred on the outside, however. The rolls were delicious, hot, and melted in your mouth. The ceasar salad was the best I had with so much cheese! The service was wonderful and attentive. Worth a visit for that special occasion.“
“Literally so incredible. We are not from San Diego but found this place on our last trip 2 years ago and loved it. I’ve been thinking that açaí bowl ever since and so for our trip this past week we purposely stayed somewhere close to here? we got bowls 4 times in the week we were in San Diego, if that tells you anything. The owner is so nice as well. Highly highly recommend!!“
“One of my favorite restaurants in SD. Not only are they fair with their wine pricing, but they also have amazing wines! The food is always fresh with great ingredient quality. The staff is extremely professional and the ambiance is always perfect whether you want to sit inside or out. The squash blossoms are one of my favorite dishes and we try to return to the restaurant on a semi regular basis. It is a San Diego staple that I highly recommend.“
“Service is excellent! Food is great. And affordable. We got some burgers and fries and they came with a drink at a very reasonable price. The person who took our order was pleasant and offered options to get our order sooner if we decided to order take out again. We will be back!“
“Best place to go for dinner in San Diego. Authentic French cuisine, excellent winery and bar and a great service. We've been here several times now whenever we have visited San Diego and have never been disappointed. Thank you Ludo and team!“
