No wait time upon arriving for Sunday lunch. Service was great and we enjoyed the special $7 wine glass until 5pm. Highly recommend getting the bruschetta board, it was so nice that they came cut up into four slices for me and my fiancé to share! We ended up combining the salami & pesto with the mozzarella & tomato one because we felt the latter needed a little bit of salt or some type of sauce, like balsamic vinaigrette or even the pesto (a suggestion for a menu change for the future, perhaps!). We upgraded our side salad to the brussel sprouts salad, which was tasty, and the prosciutto panini was a nice mix of salt and sweet with the fig in it.

11pm eats! Sophisticated urban oasis. Legit Italian flavors and preparation. Well-curated wine list. Indoor and outdoor seating. Candlelit tables and retro decor for a mid-century kiss to authenticity. Contemporary music w/o being harsh. Classy host, attentive server (Rudy), and fair prices! Late night nosh or family celebration, I'd hit this up again and again. Loved the P.R.E.M.A. with chicken, light Romesco sauce, mucho bello. Shrimp scampi with artichokes was light an perfectly sautéed. Three slices of crisp and tender garlic bread.

I used to live in Phoenix and loved Postino, so I was thrilled when they expanded to San Diego! The Little Italy location did not disappoint—amazing service, delicious food, and such a fun, vibey atmosphere. It’s perfect for a night out with friends or celebrating something special. The noise level can be a bit high with the airport and train nearby, but the overall experience more than makes up for it. So happy to have one of my favorite spots here in California!

Creative, modern Italian food. Love the small menu. Everything was great. We ordered the pinnini entree, a salad, a grilled cheese sandwich, and a bruschetta for 3 people to share. It was perfect for all 3 of us.

5/5 for flavor and aesthetic but taking off points for some portion size and service. Came here for brunch and really like the aesthetic of the place. Menu was also quite creative and had a lot of good options on there. I think overall the food was quite flavorful as well but not all items were value for money. I got the bruschetta board cuz it was what we actually went for. Husband and some of our friends in love with the artichoke spread version. It was quite creamy and loaded and had a slightly tangy taste to it but I think I would have preferred it a lot more with a little bit of chilli flakes on top. My favorite was the sweet Spicy Pepper Jam with Goat Cheese. I'm a major fan of sweet and spicy flavors and this one really hit the spot. Husband also got the prosciutto + fig + mascarpone as well as the bruschetta + arugula + bacon+ tomato flavor. Those are also quite yummy. Friends tried the vegetarian ones and the corn and cotija cheese seasonal special seemed to be a hit. The table ordered some sweet potato wedges and everyone seem to enjoy them. I guess the biggest let down here was the salad. I ordered the mixed green salad with some grilled chicken on it and the portion size was extremely small! They were very little greens in that bowl and the amount of chicken was also maybe 3 oz? I feel like whenever I've added on grilled chicken to a salad at a restaurant it's usually been like 4.5oz or at least the standard 4 oz of chicken. We went to the server and asked for some extra plain Greens on the side and took them actually quite a while to get that out. Another issue with the service overall is that they took quite a long time to come to our table. After we were seated and got our waters they took a while time to come take our order. Throughout our time there as well no one came to check up on us much either. Definitely want to know that the servers were very kind and sweet though :) Same for the host!
