Best Casual Restaurants in La Mesa

Customer service was excellent. The spicy pomegranate cocktail was divine. Food was soooo delicious. Lamb chops were amazing!! Would order that again!! Carbonara was on point. Lobster mashed potatoes is just okie with the flavor. Tiramisu and lemon cake was a perfect ending to our dinner! We definitely recommend this place..

We came in last night and had a wonderful experience. Our server was Alessandra and she was just amazing. First off the place is so cute & trendy, I love what they did with the space. We started our meal with the fritto misto (mixed calamari & veggies), fungo ripieno (mushroom w artichoke, red sauce & polenta) which was my personal favorite (the polenta was to die for) and the crispy burrata. We ate everything and left no crumbs ! Then we went on to our main courses. We ordered the fettuccine tartufo (mushroom & truffle - our tables favorite), spicy vodka pasta, ragu Della Nonna (red sauce with meat), and the parmigiana Milanese (eggplant Parmesan). Everything was delicious. The pasta was cooked perfect & al dente, we ate what we could & took the rest home! Then came dessert. It was my father’s birthday and they offered us a dessert of our choice, Alessandra recommended the fresh made table side tiramisu -good choice. Flavors were so well balanced. We also ordered the cannoli and was one of my favorite cannolis ever! Needless to say we will be coming back again! Thank you for the great dinner.

Excellent food, reasonably priced, and homey vibe. Jazz music made the experience even better.

Great lunch w a friend that I haven’t seen in years! We were allowed a leisurely unhurried delicious lunch.

Ordered several pizza’s and a few different types of draft beers by the pitcher for a celebration of life. Every thing was delicious and the crew was helpful.
