    So initial impressions were not good. Side plates were chipped and one very dirty, cheap glasses but the wine prices were not low. The two normally go hand in hand. The service was decent but not great. Had to work to get the servers attention. At times they were chatting instead of paying attention to the customers. My food was bland. I had a fettuccini dish with a white wine sauce and it had zero flavor. I asked for a tomato sauce to fix it. Better but not great. Rubbery calamari in the dish. The three other members of the group enjoyed their food. The tiramisu was a good size and very airy and could have done with more coffee for a stronger flavor. We enjoyed our evening in an exceptionally busy restaurant.

    The chicken was rubbery and inedible. The lasagna was cold in the middle. Food was extremely overpriced. They even brought out plastic solo cups for water!!! Sorento used to be a go to restaurant. Sorry, but now its “don’t go to”.

    Great food. The service was excellent. They even surprised our table with a free bread pudding dessert, which was delicious! I will return next time I'm in San Diego!

    トラムの駅から近くアクセスしやすい。 顧客都合による予約の変更が複数回必要であったが、快く柔軟に対応してもらえた。 食事はどれも美味しく、価格が高すぎない点も素晴らしい。 誕生日のメンバーのお祝いをしようとしたがオーダーがうまく伝わらず達成出来なかったことだけが細やかな心残りである。
