The Godfather Reviews
We had my birthday celebration at The Godfather and their private room is ideal for large parties. The food was delicious and the service superb! A huge thank you to Salvatore Ercolano, the new Godfather! He was the perfect host for our event and made sure that everything was perfect!
Great service, great food and “Godfather” pictures everywhere. What could be better?
So good everything was to perfection!!! Thank You!!!!!

The Godfather, a well-known restaurant in SD for over 50 years, has recently experienced a revival after new ownership took over. The service and food have improved greatly, with popular dishes including unlimited fried zucchini, Scottish Salmon, and Chicken Marsala. The portions remain generous and offer good value for money. The restaurant features a 1970s Italian-inspired decor, decorated with period pictures and a pianist, which adds to its inviting atmosphere. Guests have praised the amazing food and attentive service, especially those who made reservations a week in advance. The staff, including a friendly server, makes visitors feel welcomed. Many appreciate the cozy environment, especially on weekends, though some feel that valet service on busy nights is unnecessary since there are plenty of open parking spots. Overall, The Godfather remains a great place for delicious meals and a warm setting, making it a favorite for decades.
