    Reservation was not acknowledged though our group of 6 was seated quickly. Entree took forever to arrive, and food quality definitely not as good as usual. Have been here many times but if this had been our first time we wouldn’t ever return. Very disappointing

    Always the best of the best!! Welcoming and cheerful place with the best service in San Diego. Authentic Italian atmosphere and the food outstanding! Generous wine pours and large plates of mouth watering Italian cuisine. We always feel exhilarated in anticipation of our nights at Arrivederci’s!

    Arrivederci is one of the best Italian restaurants in San Diego. The food is exquisite and the staff makes you feel like family. I was celebrating my birthday and they made sure it was a memorable one. I highly recommend it for tasty delicious food, great ambience and wonderful service.

    We love this place, the food is always excellent, the service is outstanding, and the wine list is a great value. We were commenting at dinner on how much menu items at most restaurants have seemingly skyrocketed. This is a place that has not jacked up the fees while maintaining quality. Also, a shout out for Josef awesome server.

    Busy restaurant… that is why I booked a reservation on OpenTable. But when we arrived, the staff did not operate like a traditional restaurant with a host or manager to check you in. A server just sat a bunch of guests at tables, and then told us he would be with us soon. About 10 minutes later we were sat, but never asked how many in our party, etc. I never even got to tell them we had a reservation. This part of the event aside, it was good. I’ve always liked this restaurant, and will be back. However, I will not count on my booked reservation meaning anything if booking on a busy weekend.

    I’ve been going to Arrivederci for close to 10 years and the quality of food and service are both excellent to this day. Highly recommend it.
