I absolutely love this place. The service is seriously top-notch. It's a charming eatery that offers both indoor and patio dining. Every dish we ordered was incredibly delicious. Before I knew it, warm bread appeared on the table accompanied by a zesty red sauce. My seafood pasta dish (I forgot the name) was exceptionally tasty and came in a deceivingly large portion. The dessert was not only visually appealing but also a delight to devour.

We had the Lasagna Classico and Penne Bolognese. Both were very good, especially the Bolognese. The server brought fresh warm bread and a garlic, spicy red spice that was very tasty shortly after we sat down. And he kept my water glass full which I appreciate. Lots of outdoor seating. We will come back again soon.

Nice restaurant in Little Italy. Other than the hostess giving us a little attitude when I asked for a different table, the rest of the meal was great especially the food. Their complimentary bread with a spicy marinara sauce made for a nice appetizer. My group tried the pasta Cappelini, Giovese, Scoglio, and Neri (the latter two were topped with a lot of seafood) and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. Service was excellent and the staff work as one team (which is how it should be). If it's a nice day, enjoy their large outdoor dining space. The next time I'm in San Diego I will definitely be back.

The outside area has a pretty good vibe. The service was also great. The food was ok, the octopus we had cooked for a little too long. The canneloni did not impress, the filling was good, but the sauce was just OK. Wine was very good, they have a decent menu.

Had a taste for lasagna, in between our Trolley ride and this place did not disappoint. Food was delicious and dessert was by far the best tiramisu I’ve ever had. Staff was on their job and great eye candy lol;-) Thanks for an enjoyable time.

We started out with an appetizer and a glass of wine after nibbling on the bread and dipping sauce. Our main courses included the Duck Ragu and the Lobster Pasta pockets. Complex flavors! Isabella, the server, was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable.

One here on a spur of the moment trip with my friend and his father. The staff was very welcoming and allowed us to sit wherever we wanted. Even though it's in the middle of downtown it is not that hard to get to the location. The food there was amazing and it was my first time trying lamb and I must say I enjoyed it very much. The atmosphere as well as presentation of the food is definitely worth what you're paying. There are a couple spots that eat in Little Italy but definitely I think we made the right choice by eating here. If I was ever go back I would definitely get the lamb again. The water here was also amazing a solid 7.8 out of 10.

Stopped here with my family for lunch while exploring Little Italy. We came as soon as they were opening and were seated quickly, choosing to sit outside. We were served water right away. We ordered calamari as an appetizer to have while we wait for our main entrées. We were also served bread with marinara sauce. The marinara sauce was great; plenty of flavor and a little bit of spice to it. I ordered the Risotto alla Piemontese, which was really delicious. The risotto came in a crisped bowl of parmesan cheese. The risotto is likely a top-5 overall for me. My mother ordered the Linguine allo Scoglio, which was delicious and the mussels were cooked well (not overcooked). The service was friendly, attentive, knew the menu and had good recommendations. I would definitely come back to try other menu items if in the Little Italy area.

Eat on the patio! Service is incredible! They will customize dishes heavily to your preference. One of the best Italian places. 1. Get the Arancini, Gnocchi. Starter bread is so good with the marinara sauce and the oil & vinegar.
