★★★★★ 5.0 PY Martin · Mar 2026

I stopped by Romanella in San Diego for a quick dinner and it turned out to be an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious—everything tasted homemade and incredibly fresh. You can really tell that the ingredients are prepared fresh every day. What made the experience even better was the service. The owner personally came to our table to chat with us, and he was such a kind and welcoming gentleman. The entire staff was also very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, fresh food and a warm atmosphere. I’m from Montreal, and the next time I’m in San Diego, I will definitely come back for another great dinner.

We finally made it out to try Happy Hour at Romanella's, the newest Italian ristorante to land at this Bay Park location. It’s the third incarnation here in the last five years (formerly Farmer’s Table and La Pastaia), and we sincerely hope this one is here to stay… because oh my 😍...so good! The food and atmosphere are the best we’ve experienced in this space yet. The drink service can a little slow a bit when it gets busy, but having spent time in Italy where lunch can easily stretch to three hours, we gave it grace… and still happily gave five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ because it was that good. Off the Happy Hour Menu we had and enjoyed the Insalate Di Cesare, The Suppli and The Pinsa Margherita. I enjoyed a tasty classic Martini and my bride her Roman Spritz - their version of an Aperol Spritz. T

This place opened a few months ago and I’m so excited that my friends and I got to try it! It’s decorated so cute both indoor and outdoor! We went for HH and dinner last night and it was so delicious! There are so many goodies on the HH menu including delicious cocktails! The service was great! Diego was amazing and so sweet! There’s plenty of parking available in the lot.I definitely recommend giving this place a try if you’re looking for yummy Italian food! Food/drink review: Zucca di fiori: (5/5) These zucchini blossoms were so delicious! Great flavor, texture, and the sauce was perfection! We ended up ordered multiple for the table. Caesar salad: (3.5/5) The perfect sharing portion, but wish there was more dressing on the salad. Suppli: (5/5) These were some of the best rice balls I

Delicious food, our server Diego is not only exceptionally attentive to us but very passionate and knowledgeable about the food. He greeted us enthusiastically at the entrance and checked in with us every time he walked past our table. The dishes he recommended tasted great and his energy made it even better. It's an overall very enjoyable dining experience.

A friend and I went to this place on a whim, looking for some good new eats. The whole experience with the decor and servers, the vibe was amazing. Excellent recommendations, friendly attentive staff. Especially thank you Moira! She explained the food so well and made our whole experience feel personal and heartfelt. All the food was absolutely delicious. We took our time and devoured every bite, out on the patio with the sunset.
