I’m no newbie when it comes to dining and this place was probably the worst food I e had in a few years. The pasta was terrible the special of the night was dime size not fresh scallops and 1/2 lobster over cooked and Miele. Some friends highly recommend this place I have no clue how or why they would suggest us to go there with a rickety tables and their subpar service I suggest to steer clear of this place This review was done immediately after leaving the restaurant I will re-at it and go into detail about the service

We ate outside on the street. The food was pretty good. The service was really good. Overall it was okay Italian food. Not the best I have had in San Diego but a good place if you’re looking for an Italian place in the gaslamp district.

Cavetelli pasta dish was good, but the stuffed sole was chewy with too much breading. Veal Paso buccaneers was tasty but the saffron risotto was below expectations. Service was very attentive though.

We visited here based on the reviews on Open Table. It was absolutely fantastic! The service was wonderful. Our food was delicious with healthy portions. We got the charcuterie board, gnocchi, kids chicken Alfredo, Caesar salad and cannolis. It’s the perfect atmosphere for families or date night. 5 star, highly recommend!

We had such a nice experience last evening. Annalisa took care of us and she’s so friendly and so attentive and took the time to banter with us a little bit. The young woman at the hostess stand was as friendly as you could ask for and we sat outside close enough to the entrance so we could see that she was exactly the same way with everyone who came in to eat The Caesar salad was really good not too much garlic which is perfect for me we also had the Daniele pizza which was excellent. The crust was thick and puffy much like focaccia bread. Fresh fresh fresh tomato sauce cheese and really high-quality prosciutto on the top it was so filling we didn’t even order an entrée and I was a little bummed out because the lasagna here is excellent.

Great food and service. We had to wait 30 minutes even though we had a reservation so that was a little frustrating but most likely because of Comic-con going on so we tried to be understanding. The great food made up for it!

Vodka sauce tasted more like tomato basil soup. Bread is subpar. Good wine list. Good eggplant appetizer. Huge portion of fish which was cooked perfectly. Homeless folks coming up to us at outside table is not good. Loud music from neighboring restaurants.

We were at a conference in San Diego and had a table of 10 to 12 guests depending on what time of night (a few joined for dessert). Our wonderful waiters were from Italy and their recommendations were spot-on. The sea bass was delicious and the the waiter brought Tiramisu for one of our guests for his birthday. Everyone (including the table to our left) sang Happy Birthday and it was a magical night. Outside seating is great for people-watching.

Being from the east coast and New Jersey, it's hard to match but this restaurant did have delicious Italian food. And the service was very good. We ordered a chicken and eggplant dish and a cavatelli with chicken and broccoli dish and both of them were very good. And they have very good wine selection. I would recommend this place. And try them again when I'm in San Diego.
