Review Piazza 1909 - La Jolla

Very romantic and beautiful place at the center of La Jolla. I made a reservation at Open Table for Saturday dinner, and we got a nice seat at front patio. The service here is quite nice, the hostess gave us a nice table even we were 25 minutes earlier arriving. The foods here are delicious! We enjoyed the pizza and the lasagna. The dessert ricotta cheesecake was so so, it was too light, we prefer the New York style.

Incredible ambiance and service. I took my entire family and my father said food is true to what he remembered after visiting Italy several times. My baby nephew came with my daughters and everyone was gracious, kind, and the environment was warm and inviting. Beat Italian pizza in town and the Pasta Negri was delightful! From the food to the wine and service, we will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Benjamin, for your attentive and exceptional service. Food was incredible.

First timer here and the food was ok, but the duck lasagna really surprised me. Overall, I just wanted to point out that Benjamin provided great service and answered all of our questions. We left 45 mins late(not knowing the closing time) but I gave him a good tip and they didn’t rush us to leave

We spontaneously stopped in here on a Saturday afternoon after not being able to get in at another local restaurant and we were very pleasantly surprised. We dined outside on a lovely spring day and very much enjoyed the location and dining experience. The server, Frederico (?), was attentive and professional. We started with a garden salad which was fresh and delicious. I ordered and thoroughly enjoyed the Scaloppine di Pollo al Porto e Funghi. The chicken was moist and the mushrooms were plump and earthy. My husband ordered and enjoyed Salmon with capers (I think it was Salmone Piccata al Limone - off Brunch menu). Both dishes came with beautifully roasted veggies and flavorful sauces. After we left, I realized I left my phone there but our server found it and kept it safe until I returned later that day. Highly recommend this place!

We had our intimate and simple wedding reception at their back patio and it was amazing! Although we have never visited and tried their food before, we are beyond satisfied and happy with everything. Food and drinks are not only superb, but the service and ambiance of the restaurant are also perfect for our celebration. Roberta is very accommodating and patient with all our inquiries and requests since the planning up to the actual event. We heard a lot of good feedback from our guests and they really enjoyed the food, especially the tiramisu and wines. We are glad we chose Piazza 1909 to be part of our special day. And of course, it was a pleasure to meet Roberta and Chef Stefano!

So Riley was an amazing waiter/host towards my husband & I. It was well appreciated he was helpful with giving menu options and very patient.. he checked on us gracefully yet expeditiously and though the food was amazing the service made it even better. I also want to shout out to the chef, he was so kind when my strictly vegan husband had meat on his pizza we thought they’d be frustrated to take the plate back but the chef himself came out and was so lively authentic and kind with a corrected pizza and that was just what’s up for me. Definitely recommend and will be back thank y’all !! Again purchase the red pepper oil pleaseeeeee

Although they have a great outdoor seating area, we opted to sit inside their quiet dining room. We came early to enjoy the happy hour. Nice options including calamari and pizza.

I recently visited Piazza 1909 with my family for dinner and we had a wonderful experience. The restaurant is located in La Jolla, CA and has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that immediately put us at ease. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated at a comfortable table. The food was absolutely delicious and authentic. My kids loved their pizza, which was made with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. My salmon was cooked just right, moist and flaky, and the pasta was perfectly al dente. The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. What impressed me the most about Piazza 1909 was the attention to detail in everything from the food to the decor. The restaurant is beautifully designed, with a rustic Italian feel that transports you to another place and time. The service was impeccable, with our server being attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, I highly recommend Piazza 1909 for anyone looking for an authentic Italian dining experience in La Jolla. The food, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch, and I can't wait to visit again.

Pretty good Italian food, decent cocktails. Their pizza is supposed to be Neapolitan style, but it came across more as undercooked. No charring anywhere on the pizza, if needed another minute or two in the oven to get some of the traditional Neapolitan char on the crust, while still being thin and soft. The rest of the meal I'm told (by the others in my party) was pretty good. They make a good Bloody Mary and only put a hit of juice in their mimosas (that's a good thing). I'd be willing to give this place another go.

430pm on Sunday, walked right in and sat down. Friendly service and great flavorful food.

Absolutely delicious! We ordered the calamari and margarita pizza to start and they were both so good! The lasagna and tagliatelle alla bolognese was delicious! Our server Rylee was kind and attentive!

Great ambience and service- but the food is the real star here. Perfect for gatherings, celebrations or date nights. Four of us had dinner here on a Friday night and each of us ordered a different entree. Everyone was completely satisfied!! I highly recommend this spot!

The food was Amazing! Everyone was friendly. Loved the Nick Diego Benedict! Added avocado and a side of Bacon!

We went for lunch and ordered a pizza and salad. Pizza : dough was perfect thickness (thin), tasted fresh, and was cooked perfectly. The sauce to dough ratio was perfect, and the sauce itself was also delicious. It tasted like it was made from fresh tomatoes. The salad was dressed perfectly, the chickpeas were peeled and the goat cheese was delicious. It also had little pumpkin seeds that reminded me of healthy granola. The staff was prompt and kind. Highly recommend!

This place was highly recommended by our server at breakfast at another restaurant. It did not disappoint! We had 'Pappardelle Di Mare', hand-made pasta with seafood in a tomato sauce. Superb!

Delicious pasta on the beach! We got two entrees and the appetizer of the mozzarella eggplant rolls, all three things were amazing. The seating is also quite cute, and it’s great to be so close to the coast.
