Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Imperial Beach

Despite the construction we were still able to sit outside and the food and service were great!

Always great food and service! Get the cheese crisp.

Amidst the many options in Little Italy, Isola is a standout. You can’t go wrong with their authentic pasta dishes, which taste like they were made with the love and care only a Nonna would be capable of crafting. We chose to sit outside, 2 of the 4 outdoor heaters were not working. But the hostess kindly moved us closer to a functional one as soon as it was available. The serving assistants were great and even offered to take pictures for us. I appreciate their attentiveness and care. Overall this is a must try. While they may be a little short staffed with servers, you can’t have a bad meal here. The food and atmosphere won’t disappoint.

Awesome vibes, amazing food and the best server - Alberto!

The Rooftop was a good experience overall due to the ambience and food, and thankfully, it was not noisy. Our party of seven guests enjoyed the Mother's Day celebration with good food and good conversation. Surprisingly, it was not busy, but it also made us wonder why it took forever to get our food. The venue is normally a nighttime hangout with bottle service, which explains why that crowd wasn't around for brunch. The view is wonderful! We also happened to check out the small rooftop pool area, which could possibly be quite an attraction during the middle of summer. However, when visited, the pool had cloudy water, which looked unattractive!
