My husband and I were recently there for their Sunday Mimosa bar. It was surprisingly better than expected! We received full glasses of Prosecco and then guided to the bar to add our goodies. We loved being able to add our own fruit & different juices. We also enjoyed a super delicious pizza! We were there early in the day so we weren't too hungry- which disappointed us because all the food looked amazing! Our waiter, Reggie, was super nice & made our visit! A definite MUST, when in San Diego!
Absolutely loved it. Hands down! Our waiter Alex was the sweetest, shout out to him for his amazing suggestions. The focaccia was to die for, strong recommend.
Best Italian restaurant in little Italy! Our waiter was David S who knew the menu very well and every recommendation was spot on. Butter naught squash salad was the best salad I’ve ever had!!!!!!!!!! The cacio e Pepe wa good except the chicken was not as moist as I would expect. And they have 20% military discount!! WE WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK AND BEING OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!
My husband and I went for appetizers and drinks, we had calamari fritti and meatballs, husband had beers and I had a Paloma and a Margarita, I like fresh drinks more than sweet then the Paloma was better for me. The meatballs were kind of cold by the time we got them, taste wasn’t bad but I like hot food hot, the calamari was good. The service was very good, Alex was very kind and the atmosphere was nice.
My friend’s recommendation for this place didn’t disappoint! In 2015 she and her husband had the focaccia di recco. Apparently a chef comes in every morning and makes the cheese with love. We ordered it and we’re not thrilled when it came out until we tasted it. Holy cow it is so delicate and absolutely perfect. I can’t tell you how delicious this dish was six of a split and we ordered extra honeycomb. We were licking the honey at the end. It was just all magical. The CARNE pizza was absolutely scrumptious as well as the mascarpone polenta with pork ragu. I normally would not have ordered the polenta and pork, but so glad I did. It felt like a grandma made it with all her wisdom. It was served table side in a couple different sauce pans onto an old cutting board. The chicken Caesar salad salad and pasta à la vodka were both also super delicious.
