    Delicious. Best gnocchi in SD. It’s a bit noisy because it’s so small. But does have a homie feel.

    This is a very nice small restaurant with a great selection of meals. Each of us chose a different meal (4 in all) and were very happy with our selections. The wine list was great and the server helped us chose a wine that exceeded our expectations. All in all, a great experience. We'll be back.

    Arriverderci is myself and my wife’s favorite restaurants, tactually it’s our #1 Italian restaurant! If you want authentic old family recipe Italian food this is the spot! Julio is our favorite server and my wife who showed me this place always asks for him. but all the servers are great. The meat lasagna is by far the best I have ever had and I have been all over Italy!
