Best Pizzerias in Ocean Beach

We had a fabulous birthday dinner at Ristorante Illando! Luca was excellent and provided top-notch service and kindness to our large (and somewhat rowdy!) group. The whole staff was very accommodating, and the food was delicious. I especially appreciated that they offered several vegan dishes that were clearly labeled. Overall, a wonderful experience.

It's been a little while since our last lunch date at N. Italia FV, and let me tell you, it was well worth the wait! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth by the hostess and had an outstanding server who made our experience even better. We indulged in the mouthwatering Farm Salad and the delectable Prosciutto Fig Pizza—both were absolutely fantastic! To make our visit even more special, we were pleasantly surprised by a warm greeting from David. My wife and I left with full bellies and happy hearts, and we couldn't be more grateful for such a delightful afternoon. Bravo, team N. Italia FV! You truly know how to create an amazing dining experience!

Excellent service and the food was absolutely delicious. Went with a group of friends and they are all foodies and everyone was super impressed by the quality of the food. The taste, the freshness, the quality of ingredients. Environment is very pretty. Only downside is that it was so loud, it was hard to have a conversation (but that’s true of almost every restaurant I’ve ever been in in America). We’d still go back as the food was fabulous.

It takes a lot for me to be impressed on every level but I cannot say enough good things about Elvira. From the outstanding service to the knowledgeable staff to the quality of the food and drinks. Wow! We were started off by a great male (manager maybe?) who was super thorough with my food allergies and knew everything about the menu. I had: - the vegan caccio Pepe with gluten free pasta- WHICH IS HOMEMADE and so so good. The best gf pasta I’ve had in San Diego. - vegan mozzarella caprese salad was also so good for being vegan. Super fresh, flavorful tomatoes. - gluten free pizza: the crust is homemade and so realistic tasting/texture that it’s scary! Haha. I had vegan cheese also on that- you could hardly tell drinks: the Italian red wines were delicious. Also had a few drinks from the cocktail menu: the fig jam mezcal cocktail (What a COMBO! ♥️) as well as the white Negroni YUM

Had a great time on Valentine’s Day like this restaurant way better than any of the ones in Little Italy Tony was our server and he was very attentive personable and had great energy even though it was really busy he always made sure we were taken care of. This is gonna be our new spot we love the food, everything was amazing. We had a perfect Valentine’s Day.
