Such a charming spot. We were visiting and accidentally stumbled upon this place. Once you come here, you are family. We had a phenomenal time with Roberta and Barbara. We had so much fun with them. The food was amazing such a shame I forgot to take pictures. We had the spaghetti bolognese and we ate every morsel. Everything is fresh! Trust me, take a chance on them and it’ll be your “go to” Italian spot!

The best Italian food I’ve ever had in my life. Took my girlfriend there for a little date night on our San Deigo vacation and needless to say, we will most definitely be back. The pesto was the best I’ve had in my life.

One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to. Food was delicious, service was impeccable, and the owner is a very nice man as well. We were checked up on often and well taken care of. Nice outdoor seating as well. Highly recommend.

Amazing! Lasagna, Penne all’ arrabbiata, and pappardelle was on point. Great authentic Italian cuisine. Photos don’t do justice. We’d definitely come back.

Incredible authentic Italian pasta! Wow, if you want delicious handmade pasta that melts in your mouth, this is THE place to go. I ordered the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese and it was some of the best pasta I’ve ever had! My husband got the cheese gnocchi dish and it was super creamy.

This is our favorite Italian restaurant in San Diego. The food is excellent, the service is great and the wine selection is very nice. I don’t write a lot of reviews, but this one is well deserved. See you again next time we are in town!

Amazing ❣️ We went without reservation around 610 ish on a Tuesday, and it was pretty relaxed. It had a cozy atmosphere. The food was amazing– we had the Tues-Date special, and it was a mixed seafood risotto (which we asked to be changed into linguini; best choice we’ve made). We also had the tortellini and vongole, which were great. The food was perfectly portioned, and we enjoyed the dinner from the beginning to the end. Also, I definitely recommend getting the lemon sorbet at the end!

Not vegetarian friendly & overpriced for unflattering vegetarian option. I ordered a caponata and a linguine with pesto sauce. Caponata was flavorful. Vegetarian options = regular dishes without the meat & with no price adjustment. Street parking was hard to get, I ended up paying for my parking.

Place was amazing some of the best food I have ever in my life . Authentic and delicious. Bummed out when we made it back to Salt Lake City knowing that no Italian food in Utah comes even close to the what we had here . Highly recommended . Honestly some of the best Italian food I have ever had in the United States . Also the Staff were great !!

Pesto Linguine Shrimp Scampi fresh pasta and large shrimp. Flavor was not overpowering yet proper sauce thick texture. Sea bass special plentiful two large filets with a tomato accoutrement, very tssty and filling. Tiramisu was excellent very light smooth and creamy not overly sweet. Outdoor table seating. Service was good, checked on us regularly.
