    Food was incredibly delicious. We had Salmon stuffed with crab, Sea Bass, Cioppino, a favorite pizza, along with calamari and lemon sorbet. So delicious! Beautiful atmosphere for a birthday celebration. Service was exceptional.

    Amazing restaurant! Be careful of parking in the LAX parking lot next-door. They close at 7 PM and you cannot get your car until the next morning if your car is still in there after 7 PM, they close and lock all the gates and doors .There is a very small sign indicating this as you go in which no one will ever see.

    We have been here before and this time the food was really lacking flavor. The arugula salad was bland and missing something. The fish of the day was a nice portion but lacked seasoning and flavor. The pesto pizza also bland. Super disappointed.

    This is easily one of my favorite Italian restaurants in San Diego. The food is consistently good, the ambience and vibes are warm and friendly, and it's fantastic value for the money. The setting in an old house built in 1909 is lovely.

    Wonderful! We had dinner inside but the outside patios are so inviting with twinkle lights and cozy heaters, too. And...dog friendly! The cioppino was full of seafood and served in a tomato-based broth. Just the right spice. Pastas are a freshly made. I had the pappardelle with lamb sausage ragu. Fully satisfying. Our first time here...certainly not the last!
