It was a pleasant dining experience. We sat between two heat lamps just outside of the restaurant. The special crudo of the day was refreshing and clean tasting. The two-face tostada was also good. The memorable dish of the night was the risotto. It was creamy but not overly rich and the rice had a good bite to it.

The food is amazing and the flavors wonderful. Outdoor seating is loud and along the public sidewalk, so the traffic could be loud and you may get an occasional homeless person nearby. But the dishes are fantastic and worth the visit! I recommend sitting inside the restaurant.

My Son and I ate here for a late lunch. I had come once before right after they first opened and was underwhelmed. Since then, I have heard and seen some good things. We came for the oysters and to explore different options in Little Italy. Greeting and seating was quick, then it took awhile to see anyone again. They seemed to be short staffed, so we were patient. Cocktails where $15-$18 but were watered down tasting so we only had one. The menu is really exciting to read through, but it is REALLY expensive for what you get. (one small order of roasted corn bowl was $17) it tasted really good, but it was 1 ear of corn. All of the items we order were very small. The pulpo carpaccio was amazing, but again really pricey for the serving size. Our lunch for 2 people, 2 cocktails, 2 dozen oysters (which were really good!) 1 soft shell crab taco, pulpo appetizer, corn appetizer, tuna appetizer was $230. I think that's robbery no matter how good the small bites were. Thats as much as a decent dinner for 2. I would not go back again based on the expense and ALL of San Diego's other amazing food options. Also, I used the restroom while there and it was dirty, trash on the floor, out of paper towels and mosquitos in the toilet.
