    Had a Thanksgiving meal here and was pleased to say it was the best thanksgiving turkey, stuffing and potatoes I’ve had. Also the best tiramisu I’ve had too. Didn’t try their Italian menu but I’m sure it is great.

    Now that’s Italiano! Felt like we were there in the heart of SanDiego. Food was exceptional-best Caesar Salad we’ve ever had (abundance of anchovies…finally!). Our waiter was perfectly suited to make our experience memorable. And this was on the US thanksgiving holiday when he should have been at home with his family! 5+stars.

    Always excellent. Had an early Thanksgiving lunch with the intention of Thanksgiving dinner later at another restaurant. Was too good and ate too much: had to cancel evening reservation!

    I made a reservation here for a birthday celebration after hearing how good the food was. We made a reservation for a party of 5, 2 of which we were celebrating birthdays for. We were greeted quickly and told our server our celebration and all ordered a round of espresso martinis. Unfortunately, after we placed our order we did not see our server for another hour and a half. We all were hoping to order a few rounds of drinks to start off our night but didn’t have the opportunity. We were a large party, had a reservation, and there for a celebration and he seemed to ignore our table entirely… disappointing because we were all looking forward to it.

    Food was awesome, big selection and everyone loved their meal which included salads, pasta dishes (Pappardelle alla Vodka so yum) and filet. We sat inside as it was cool out but it was noisy; two large parties made it almost impossible to hear my table mates so maybe outside is a better option? Other than that it was superb!

    The Restaurant is supposed to be a higher end Italian restaurant. We received our starters before having a glass of wine. I ordered beef carpaccio which arrived cold at my table clearly pre-prepared. Bruschetta was even worse. Mains were over priced and very average. I will definitely not recommend this restaurant. There are many better restaurants close by,
