This was such a nice find a few steps away from the hotel we were at. I'm almost sad to say it was nearly empty in there...the food and service were top notch. My friend ordered iced tea which they didn't have, and they promptly brewed a whole new carafe just for him. The bruschetta was very traditional: just seeded tomatoes, basil, garlic, and olive oil on grilled bread. Delicious! But the real star was the Tortelli Di Granchio. The crab and shrimp stuffing was flavorful and delicate; the sauce was absolutely incredible. Such an interesting combo of flavors with thyme, rosemary, and sage...i

Family and I had a wonderful evening celebrating a birthday, I forget but I think our server was Catarina and she was so wonderful. Parking $12 when you park at Horton Plaza across the street and get it validated. The food is very fresh. Fresh ingredients and tastes high quality. Loved the ambiance it was so cute inside. Pictures included are the Arancini (deep fried mozzarella) which were so good, fresh and hearty. The Patrizia salad, Capricciosa Pizza, and Ravioli Fattore. The Ravioli Fattore was so good, it has a slight spice to it so just keep that in mind!

Party of 2 went for dinner around 7pm on a Thursday in December. We were seated inside immediately, did not need a reservation in advance. We had the bruschettone appetizer, the vegetariana pizza, and the torta del nonno chocolate cake. Everything was delicious and seemed healthy. The appetizer had two long slices of bread, so easy to share for us. The cake felt very heavy - lots of flour I guess. The server was very friendly, and we didn't have to wait too much. The place was pretty full around 8-8:30pm. Total including tips and taxes came to around 30 bucks per person. The pizzas are around

This is the most authentic carbonara I’ve had outside of Italy. And I’ve been searching for something like this for years! I substituted the spaghetti for their house made fettuccini (I am a sucker for fresh pasta) and treated myself to a limoncello spritz. I am in heaven and highly recommend this place. The service was kind and speedy, but I was given ample time to relax and enjoy my dinner. I will be back if I’m ever in San Diego again!
