Benvenuti Nella Mia Cucina, Belli De Nonna! Before we dive into the delicious feast prepared for you, let me give you a little taste of my vita. I was born in the heart of Rome, and I've been cooking up a storm my entire life! My cucina has always been the center of the universe for my 3 daughters, 5 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, their friends, loved ones, and acquaintances – everyone was always Benvenuto!Now, we've brought that same love and flavor right here to San Diego. My beloved grandson, Niccolo', and his amore, Cesarina, are opening the doors of my Cucina with the same warm heart and passion.Wondering how I made it to 95? Well, it's simple: I ate everything that's served here and filled my life with amore! So, Benvenuti! Don't hesitate to indulge in "Scarpetta" - dip that bread into the sauce, just like my grandchildren used to do at the stove when they thought I wasn't looking.Here, Belli De Nonna, it’s all about food, family, and creating beautiful memories!

    The food was pretty good, we had an enjoyable time. The view is pretty decent overall. We had fun.. a little pricey. For. For people and a baby with two beers and two shots of tequila about $235. The economy is so expensive right now. It’s kinda hard to justify doing this other than the fact that it was somebody that’s very special to me birthday.

    We love Miguel's! We have gotten takeout over ten times from Miguel's in Carlsbad. This was our first time at Miguel's in Old Town. I ordered the dish I ALWAYS order and it came out with the sauce and beans coagulated. My takeout for this dish had never had this issue. I was disappointed. Our server also needs to work on bringing requested items when urgent. My son dropped the spoon she gave him for his ice cream. We asked for a new one. While he waited for a spoon, the heat lamps started to melt his ice cream. We finally asked a busser who brought out three spoons immediately. We will probably stick to Carlsbad's Miguel's, but regardless, Miguel's food is amazing! The white sauce is my favorite! (I dream of this sauce all year until we make our annual SD trip!)
