Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Pacific Beach

Unfortunately , Baci’s doesn’t serve veal piccata anymore. It was our absolute favorite. There is still the “old world” atmosphere and excellent service. The marinated, sautéed mushrooms & also the calamari are delicious. I ended up ordering from the appetizer menu.

First time to Isola La Jolla. Starting with being immediately greeted and very accommodating with our request for seating, even though they were busy, to the wait staff, our phenomenal waitress Stephanie, and the food...our visit exceeded our expectations. The decor is charming and inviting. We had the Wood Fired Cannelini beans and the Margherita DOP. Both were delicious. All the food coming out looked like I wanted to try.

Came here with my husband for my birthday brunch. Delicious food and friendly server! We would definitely love to come back and try the rest of their menu!

Food was excellent as usual. I had the duck and wife had the salmon. Both cooked perfectly as we wished and very delicious. Wait staff was courteous. We were seated in the upstairs area which was quiet but a touch chilly (Dec. 27); old Victorian buildings are not known for their insulation.

Everything was well presented and delicious. The service was very good. The only problem we had was our order for calamari. It arrived extremely spicy. The texture of the breaded and fried calamari was harder than average, giving the impression that this was not a fresh dish. Fortunately, a manager stopped by and checked on us. When we told him of our disappointment, he immediately ordered us a fresh batch without any hot spices in it. We were happy and we totally enjoyed the results.
