Godfather

The Godfather Restaurant might be the best restaurant in San Diego! To start Godfather's Marinara (Non-meat) sauce is velvety and stimulates you your senses with its aroma and taste! The kitchen is accommodating with dietary needs and customizations for those needing modifications. The Cannoli and Tiramisu are made in-house, and for me, are some of the best desserts on the West Coast. In short, Godfather's is an amazing culinary experience tucked away in the Kearny Mesa area! Please, give it a try if you are curious or in the area, I can't imagine you would be sorry!

Old World Italian restaurant that's been in a strip mall for 50+ years, and we finally discovered it. Waiters in suit coat & tie, excellent food and service. Complimentary fried zucchini and one of the best filet and shrimp scampi I can remember (and I lived in Italy briefly). Focus is Sicilian & southern Italian dishes. Very good pianist on weekends, but it can be too noisy to enjoy.

The service and ambiance here are spot on! Their service is attentive and professional which is a nice change since quality service has been lost in most restaurants these days. The food however is mediocre at best, it was lacking a lot of flavor. Our table had 3 pasta dishes. Maybe the entrees are better here.

Just stopped in without a reservation and wearing jeans and T-Shirts. We felt a little underdressed, but that didn’t affect the level of service. We were greeted and felt very welcomed and escorted to a table right away. Our server; Sean was very personable, professional and attentive. We loved the ambience and all the staff seemed very Classy. The fried zucchini was a delicious start. The fettuccine Alfredo with large tiger shrimp was excellent. The Sea Bass was very juicy and fresh and was so mouthwatering that I’m craving it today.

This restaurant is truly the best. The service was outstanding. The food was amazing and delicious. This was the best meal we have had during our 2 week stay in San Diego. We really loved the piano player. He was so talented and he even played our wedding song by ear after hearing a short clip of it. We felt so spoiled. They brought us a dessert with Happy Anniversary written on the plate. This was a wonderful way to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. I just wish we could take this restaurant home with us.

Luke was one of the best waiters I have ever had. Was exactly right with his recommendations, answered all of our questions and always checked on us with out it being bothersome. He was very quick, knew the menu well and just an awesome person. Hope to get him next time we visit again. If you're thinking of getting the lemon cake, it's delicious. Thanks again Luke.
