    We have been to Jack and Giulio’s many times. The food is always consistently amazing; from the pasta dishes, to the veal, the chicken , and the seafood. The service is always outstanding, and the ambiance pleasant.

    Father’s Day celebrating my husband and son. We had a great time and the food was delicious. So happy you had your veal chop on your menu because it has always been my husband’s favorite 🙂

    Love this restaurant. The food is great (especially The Scampi Giulio). We had a party of mine and set on the beautiful patio. Our server Sergio was the best. Sergio has been our waiter on numerous previous occasions. He has always been wonderfully attentive, informative, and friendly. This night was no different.  Thank you Sergio and Jack for making this a wonderful evening.

    Whenever we are in San Diego, we make sure to have dinner at Jack and Giulio’s. Last night we shared the Hearts of Palm salad and delicious garlic bread. I tried the veal piccata with mushrooms and I can’t remember a tastier entree—anywhere. Excellent and professional service. Love this place.

    This was our 34th anniversary. We have been coming to Jack $Julios for 27 years. If you’re lucky you might just get the filet mignon in rosemary mushroom sauce mushroom sauce. The most exquisite steak I have ever had!
