    This is our favorite Italian restaurant in San Diego and it’s our favorite restaurant in Old Town. We are always treated like family when we go there. All the servers have been there for many years and take great pride in giving their best. The food of course is magnificent and is prepared perfectly. We always look forward to dining there when we are in the area.

    We were traveling from Seattle and Chicago. As vegan, we highly appreciated this restaurant had options for us that were not just salad. Food tasted good, portion size was good. Nice views. Overall, a great experience!
