About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
From the owner Leonardo Landini "When I decided to open Ristorante Illando, I had a vision in my head...my cozy house back in Firenze, Italy; my family dining table filled with the food I grew up with. Now I can surround you with the warmth of my Italian home and an authentic Italian meal here at Illando. Benvenuti e buon appetito a tutti!!"

    We stayed near Little Italy and wanted to try a restaurant in the neighborhood for dinner. Our family of 4 (including 2 kids, 10 and 7) was really pleased with Ristorante Illando’s cute decor and delicious food. My husband and I shared the bruschetta and brussel sprouts. I had the lobster ravioli, and hubby had chicken parmesan (sorry, I don’t know the actual names of the dishes, lol). All were yummy!! Kids enjoyed their kids menu items of spaghetti with butter and parmesan. I am a big fan of restaurants that provide a kids menu, as my children are rather picky eaters. Definitely would recommend this restaurant!!

    Charming Italian restaurant in the heart of Little Italy in San Diego. It was Saturday evening and the restaurant was packed. Our reservation was for 5:45 pm and we were seated around 6:30 pm. They were overbooked and stopped taking reservations for an hour to get caught up with the people who were waiting to get seated. The hostess was great about keeping us informed. Aside from the wait we enjoyed the atmosphere and the food.
