Our diining experience began with a waiter that refused to focus on us. After several unsucessful attempts to get his attention we notified the manager of the problem, and he did an excellent job of turning a very negative start into a positive dining experience. The manager waited on us personally, discussed the menu entrees and the specials in detail, and made recommendations that worked very well for us. Thanks to the manager's actions and his very professional service we will be happy to return.
We had the the cacio y pepe gnocci and the mushroom risotto. Both were very good although a bit too salty. There was a good selection of wines, including for wines by the glass. We didn't have dessert as the choices were not tempting. The service was attentive but got distracted when some larger parties came to the restaurant. The ambiance was nice, relaxed, great for larger gathering, but not a quiet dinner for two. Nevertheless, it was a nice experience.
Good food but way overpriced. Service is average. Nice place for a once a year visit.
The atmosphere was great, as I felt like I was in Italy, with Excellent service! I started with a Caesar Salad, just enough dressing, shaved Parmesan Cheese, with toasted sourdough croutons/slices!! My entree was, Pappardelle Ragu/Bolognese, with a combination of ground veal & beef, with a very tasty sauce and pasta that was like silk!! There are multiple choices for Italian in San Diego, so I would highly recommend this place! The pasta dish reminded me of being in Italy, that’s how authentic everything was!
A group of 5 of us had a wide variety of dishes, the best being the charcuterie plate. Others included a seafood pasta special, Osso Buco, chicken parmigiana, Pollo Toscana. Appetizers we had included bruschetta, beef carpaccio. Wine and drinks were decent. The service was good - no issues whatsoever! The food was just really mediocre- salads were not fresh, chicken was bland and overcooked.
Great fish. Nice outside seating. Appreciate the service.
Our food was fantastic! Loved the place and the service as well.
Great food and drinks. Loved sitting on the patio. Friendly atmosphere. Very clean. Our server was great, but I felt a little rushed. I would definitely go back.
Wow! Somebody on the kitchen obviously loves what they do! We went for a dinner (group of four), and our meal began with toasted bread that was perfectly done — crisp crust that wasn’t crumbly, a soft inside, warm and yummy. We then moved on to three pastas and a chicken dish. Thee food arrived very quickly, was piping hot, and tasted delicious! Portions were generous. We appreciated that the noise level was pretty low. It was easy to hear one another. A really fabulous meal!
