So many choices for Italian food in Little Italy and decided to try Vinarius. Everything about this place was perfect. I had what was maybe the best Ossobuco Lamb I’ve ever had and my wife had the special which was Seabass which she absolutely loved and our waiter Fabio was also great. Definitely will make a return trip to this restaurant.

We absolutely loved Vinarius! We are only in Sand Diego a few days and have eaten there twice! Beautiful restaurant, warm and inviting atmosphere and the staff and owner really care about you during dinner time. They take the time to check in. An overall atmosphere of warmth, sincerity, and incredible food!

Hard to say this based on expectations and n reviews- Please Dine inside - we sat outside to enjoy the weather but your on a street and loud traffic is everywhere Food was ok - we had the lasagna and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. We had to get the chicken discounted base on the taste Service was decent but def felt those inside were a more comfortable,
