Very fun place here on University. Great Italian restaurant. Lovely outdoor space, nice indoor space. The staff is friendly and attentive. The wine list is nice. The food is extraordinary! Definitely not to be missed! My pictures are not the best, but I have seen many that are better.

The food here is phenominal. It is so delicious. Definitely an under rated spot. Everything was just amazing. I do regret getting the truffle feies though… because now whenever I get truffle fries anywhere else, they will be subpar to what they have here. The truffle fries are something you need to try. Staff is super friendly too. Amazing service.

This was the best pizza I’ve had in my entire life. We ordered the Tavola Nostra’s Dolce e Salato pizza. I’m vegetarian so I got my half without pork and I can’t even explain how mine blowing it was. We also ordered the penne Al Arabiatta which was delicious, spicy, and flavorful too!

Wonderful atmosphere, excellent food and great service (usually by Nick). You should expect to pay more here than some other Italian restaurants, but certainly worth it.

The food was excellent! By far the best Italian food I’ve had on the West coast so far. The pizza reminded me of why I love pizza and everything was affordable for the quality, 10/10 would travel to eat here if nearby for sure.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a cannoli. And it was worth the taste. The crust of it was nicely crispy. And the filling was super delicious.

First place that I visited on my latest trip to San Diego. Everyone at the restaurant was incredibly warm and welcoming — the tables were clean and the food was flavorful. I really enjoyed seeing how happy the staff was and how kind they were to each other. They genuinely seem like great people — they’re onto the keys to a successful restaurant, I’m sure of it!

Table service was excellent, atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. We got the pepperoni pizza and it was so good and fresh, the crust was so soft. I will come in again to try the other items that look amazing.
