Enoteca Adriano has been one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego for a decade! The food is reasonably priced and delicious, and the quality and service are amazing! The ambiance is so great, it truly feels like you are in a small restaurant in Italy. As an added bonus, they do free corkage fee if you bring your own wine Monday-Wednesday. Definitely book a table in advance, because it is always busy. I have been here for date nights, large group gatherings, and they even accommodated my 9 month old with ease. They stored the stroller for us and gave him a high chair. Enoteca is the best and has my highest recommendation!

We took our daughter out for dinner for her birthday and really enjoyed our experience. The food was delicious and we loved the ambience. We did have an issue with being charged on a birthday surprise dessert our waitress offered. We noticed the charge when we got home, and when I brought it to the restaurant’s attention, they quickly let me know I should not have been charged and refunded our credit card. I appreciate the speed with which they corrected it. We will definitely go back again.
