★★★★★ 5.0 Jordan Montoya · Nov 2025

Food was amazing, chefs and waitress were also amazing. Sat outside on a beautiful afternoon for lunch. Sea bass special of the day was phenomenal and the pasta and dessert also mind blowing! Definitely recommend trying this place!

This place is without a doubt, one of the best Italian dining experiences San Diego has to offer. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and authentically Italian. It truly deserves every one of its five stars. I started with the Octopus Salad, and it was an absolute revelation. The octopus was perfectly tender—a feat that so many restaurants struggle with—and paired beautifully with fresh, bright flavors that made for a delicate and memorable start to the meal. For the main course, I chose the Lasagna, and it was the highlight of the evening. It was rich, layered with magnificent, tender pasta sheets, savory ragù, and just the right amount of creamy béchamel. This is true comfort food executed with precision and passion. It tasted like it was made in an Italian non

Title: A Taste of Italy! I recently dined at an amazing Italian restaurant, and I was blown away! The authentic dishes took me straight to Italy. Each bite was packed with flavor and passion. The staff? They were incredibly friendly, making the experience even more special. This year, we are hosting an Italian girl, and she loved the food as much as we did! The warmth of the staff made her feel right at home. If you’re looking for a delightful meal and great company, this place is a must-visit! It’s more than just food; it’s an experience that inspires joy and connection.

Cute little restaurant. The main courses (secondi) are delicious, but beware the portions are quite small. They average about $25-28/dish. The pasta dishes seem to be bigger and perhaps more satistying. They also average about the same price. Tiramisu was delicious and that serving was rather large. Service was great! Would recommend:)

★★★★★ 5.0 Aiden Fitzgerald · Jan 2026

The owner was great and fun to talk to, everything was delicious, I was told by the other people in the party that the lasagna was life changing and the best they have ever had. I had the tortellini with pork and I thought it was outstanding. Definitely a nice and cozy spot to go to. Bathroom was surprisingly nice too.
