This place was delightful! I’ve never been to Italy before but after eating here, I felt like I have. The owner of the restaurant (she’s from Italy) actually took our orders and told us stories of the origins of the different dishes that they serve. We settled on trying several different dishes and appetizers. Some pasta, ravioli, and meatballs were our main dishes and they were all wonderful. Surprisingly, the highlight of the dinner were the fried zucchini blossoms filled with cream cheese. We reluctantly ordered them but the owner insisted we give them a try. We are glad we did! Overall, a wonderful, authentic Italian experience. Not just a restaurant.

Everything we ordered for dinner was excellent without an exception. Especially, I became a big fan of their spaghetti with truffle sauce. The spaghetti was served al dente, or slightly underdone, with flavorful truffle and cheese cream sauce. Their short rib bolognese ravioli was also good. What a delight to find this restaurant. We would definitely come back when we visit San Diego next!

Usually small, family run places are incredible. I loved the appetizer special we got (homemade mozzarella rolled with fig, marmalade, and prosciutto). The carbonara was a bit too salty for my liking.
