   Flavio knows Italian food and excellent service. It’s always delicious here and a treat to return. It’s nice to also be greeted warmly and to practice our Italian with Flavio when he stops by our table. Servers and “bus boys” and management all checked on us so we didn’t feel ignored. My lamb ragu and my partner’s barramundi were each excellently prepared and delicious (I sampled both). This evening we were a bit surprised to be seated at the kitchen end of the bar area as we requested the Standard seating when reserving. It’s a bit boisterous there with more noise and foot traffic. But overall it was a wonderful evening.

   It is one of the best Italian restaurants in San Diego. I have been dining there for years and it has always kept its high standards. It is a family run business and the owners offer a personal touch by speaking with their patrons and offering suggestions, making one feel special. Lovely place and good selection of food for several dietary needs.

   The food was absolutely delicious. I got the Margherita Pizza and my friend got the Pappardelle Con Il Ragu D'Agnello and both were some of the most authentic Italian dishes we had ever had in San Diego. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place! It did get busy so I was glad we had reservations :)

   It’s always amazing here! Friendly vibes. Great food. Everyone is happy. The food is also delicious. Ask for the specials. They always have this yummy squid ink pasta. It has been on the saltier side for me the last two times I’ve been here but not sure if it’s just me. Didn’t stop me from coming back and will come back again!

   First, service was as good as it could be, given that they were short-handed and the owners were therefore waiting tables (I ordered a salad, which I eagerly anticipated, but it never arrived; however, it also didn't appear on the bill). We were seated immediately, even though the restaurant was VERY busy. At our server's recommendation, we ordered the special appetizer, a whole artichoke, roasted in the pizza oven, and served with THE most divine garlic-herb oil. The artichoke was already cut into four pieces, so each of us grabbed one. Although it could scarcely be heard over our "oohs," "aahs," and sounds of sopping up oil with the excellent homemade bread, two of us remarked that this appetizer was so delicious, we just might order it instead of salad, and another instead of an entree. Suffice to say, if available, do NOT miss it. We had a bottle of luscious Montepulciano for the table; our friends shared a Burrata pizza, my husband had the Sofia pizza, and I, after consulting with our server, got the ravioli melanzane. Somehow, our friends' pizza had one piece left over, but my husband devoured the entire Sofia, and I ate all but about 1-1/2 ravioli. Yes, I got a to-go box for the ravioli and slice of Burrata pizza, as it would've been criminal to let food this exceptional go to waste (regrettably, we neglected to take the remaining bread from the basket). Siamo Napoli is a self-styled neighborhood spot, casual and unpretentious, but we've had Michelin-starred meals that weren't remotely this exquisite, this perfect, at four times the price, and walked away hungry, to boot. I almost hesitate to properly sing its praises, lest we have to wait months for our next taste of nectar, but it surely deserves to have a months-long waiting list, at least for weekend night tables, and when word gets out, they can probably fill a space 2-3 times as large. We drove 2-1/2 hours each way for this meal, and it was truly worth every second. We cannot WAIT to go again!
