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!

What a wonderful dining experience. The lasagna was great. & the potato gnocchi was a hit. We also tried their house-made focaccia bread which was warm and perfectly crispy. Beppe is a wonderful server and all the staff was just amazing. We even had a wonderful chat with the owner (Roberta) about upcoming cooking classes. Overall, would recommend if you're looking for a great Italian meal or a date night spot.

Great food and vibes! Fast and great customer service. I would recommend the Gnocchi, so yummy.

The tagliolini is quite good. Service got off to a slow start, but was fine after that. The patio area is nice...not noisy. Wish there were more vegetarian pasta options.

We shared a wonderful salad and their bread basket with tomato comfit was sooo delicious. My sister had the Branzino and the waiter did a great job of filleting and deboning it. The fish was so moist, sweet and fresh. My other sister had spaghetti with meat balls. She didn't like the meat balls, whereas she is normally a fan of them. I asked the chef to create a dish, not on the menu, spaghetti cacio pepe. It was good. Not the best, but he/she was making my meal with alternative ingredients. The gelato was a nice end to a heavy meal. And they had good wine choices, which we enjoyed. Our only real complaint was the 3% surcharge to cover the cost of their employees health care!!!! That's a cost of doing business and is just plain rude. Just tack it onto the cost of the food and stop whining about it. Loved the décor and back patio. Very comfortable.

Fatastic food, drinks and ambiance. A true Italian gem.
The food was very good, our server was great, and the drinks are tasty. However the restrooms need love. I felt like I was at a gas station restroom.

This place was AMAZING, so much so I'm writing the review from the table and I'm not that kind of person. I came to La Jolla for a wedding and tried to find good food, I kept falling into tourist traps. This place is definitely not that. Our service was great. The patio had a great vibe. I would come back just for this restaurant.

I run the Italian Club at my highschool, and the owners of this business graciously offered to donate food to support our club for two years in a row. Both times, we sold out within minutes! The food is spectacular, and the service is amazing. They are so caring and supportive of the community, thank you Piazza 1909!
