Rovino Rotisserie + Wine

EXCELLENT food at RoVino Italian Restaurant in Little Italy San Diego! Although it took a very long time for our appetizers and main course dishes to be served, it was worth the wait🙏 Large servings and perfectly prepared food was enjoyed by all our family. Our server was outstanding, attentive, and kept our glasses full and vino coming despite our long wait for our meal to be served. He alone was the reason for an excellent review~well the delish food and yummy deserts helped too! Keep smiling and know we'll see you again soon😇

I was here for a business dinner the middle of last month. I ended up with the Lasagna dish, it was very good, the portion was huge and I ended up sharing with someone at my table. I wish they had bread for the table, but other than that, the food and atmosphere were excellent. The bathroom situation is interesting though. It’s down the street and to the left of bushes and shrubs. There is a door combination, I think it’s 6055.

Food here was really good! We order the focaccia bread, some cocktails with passion fruit and orange juice in it, and some pasta! Our table ordered: — GAMBERI E VONGOLE, which has (Garlic, shallots, parsley, prosecco, shrimp, clams) I ordered a side of spicy sausage with mines and it hit just right! — OSSO BUCO Very filling, excellent quality ingredients, and great attention to detail.

The food is exceptional. Our large group from Seattle was in town for a bachelorette, and we ordered many plates to try. The bruschetta was a highlight with bold and bright flavors (although not photographed bc it went so quickly). The carni miste plate was generous, and every protein and vegetable was cooked to perfection! Spread the word... RoVino is a must visit when in San Diego!!

This was such a great experience for dinner. First the staff was absolutely phenomenal and very kind. The food was also extremely good, you could tell it was homemade and made with care. The ravioli’s were the best that I have had since I was in northern Italy. From the salad to the pasta dishes to the cannoli and pistachio cake for dessert, they were all so full of flavor and so well prepared. I will absolutely be back whenever I’m in town. It is now my new favorite place to eat in San Diego.

Absolutely fantastic food, fantastic service, fantastic experience. Risotto, bruschetta, cheesecake, pasta were all above our expectations, and by the way the chicken and steak smelled going by, we weren't the only ones leaving happy. I thought the cocktails were the weakest part, but I can't complain- they were very excellent, just not as good as the rest of it was for my taste. Service was amazing, never ran out of water and everyone did a great job. We told the manager as much when he dropped by.

Initially this review had potential to go south quickly. We brought a dog upon seeing they are pet friendly. They seated us right along the sidewalk with high traffic from random passerbyers (including disruptive dogs) and every server trying to access their areas. We also waited an inordinate amount of time for our food. BUT our server saved the day! Upon request he was able to switch our table to a more private table which spared everybody the frequent dog exchanges. Also, he apologized for the food delay before we ever mentioned anything, and he treated us to dessert on the house to make up for it!

Very delicious! Marco was my server and very helpful. All of the staff made me feel at home and I really appreciated the hospitality. The food was visually beautiful and had complex flavors. I had the octopus for an appetizer, chile pasta for the primi, bronzino fish for the secondi and the cannoli for dessert which was some of the best cannoli I have EVER had - great recommendation Marco! The bronzino was fried and I prefer it roasted but I did enjoy it. The octopus was very tender with some crispy ends and spiced up with some sausage, highly recommend. The Chile pasta was tender, creamy with a slight spicy heat. Really enjoyed the vibe and will come back with friends.
