    Cocktails were phenomenal! I loved that the n/a cocktail tasted as good as a real one! Food was very good. Concept was really fun. Service was great, very fast, thoughtful and totally accommodating of our toddler! Great valenitne's day dinner for all three of us! I probably would have rated the food higher if it weren't for the fact that everything we've eaten in San Diego is amazing!!

    Very friendly staff, food was delicious. The artichoke appetizer special was incredibly good. We shared a bottle of wine and had some great entrees. The server was helpful in decision making and offered my wife and I a complimentary dessert with valentines being the next day. What more could you ask for? Take it from this Italian, who has eaten pizza in Napoli this place is the real deal.
