    The absolute best and most unique experience you will have in San Diego. Undoubtedly the best Italian food, wine and service in the city. From the intricate details of the culinary masterpieces to the highest expression of Italian wine this restaurant stands alone as a very special gem in this city. To bring it all together, the restaurant staff is as personable and professional as it gets. Can’t recommend enough for any and all occasions!!

    It was a fun place to have a different date night. The 2 of us shared salad, sandwiches, and potato appetizers they were good, but the jackfruit was a bit spicy for me. We had a couple of drinks from the zero-alcohol menu. However, I think they focus on the alcohol ones, which is expected because it's a bar. We probably won't return because we dropped $102.00 and left feeling like we still needed dinner. It was a fun experience overall.

    We started our meal with the Moule au homard (mussels in a lobster bisque). The tarragon and cognac really enhanced the dish. Since black truffles are in season they were offered in their specials menu. We ordered the linguine with truffles. It also had chanterelles and was fantastic. I believe it’s the best “mushroom” linguine I have ever ordered. The house salad was the perfect compliment. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in our food and wine decisions. If we lived closer, I’d probably become a regular. Bien joue.
