This is one the THE BEST Italian restaurants my husband and I have ever dined at. Their lasagna is by far...AMAZING ...and I never like anyone else's other than mine! Service was top notch and not $!

Michael K.

Wow this is the best pasta I've had in San Diego! The mushroom ravioli was some of the best pasta I've ever had including in Italy. All the staff are Italian. Love this place.

Kirill Maksaev

I had black linguine with seafood - simply divine! The wine was good too and the service impeccable!

Jenn Michele

Has the ownership changed? The staff is all new, the prices went up, and food quality decreased. Still great service but no longer the same quality food, and al dente pasta , we knew and loved.

Jessica Toliuszis

The most authentic and delicious Italian restaurant in America. Great value for an incredible meal

Chuck Pettis

Big portions . Eggplant Parmesan followed by Putinesca. Excellent.

Bill Stubbs

The cioppino is fantastic! And ask for a sample of tier penne ala vodka . Superb!

Cathy Palme

4th St. Pizza w/zucchini, tomatoes , fresh basil & cream cheese ...mmmm to die for! Giovanni and his endless pours of Limoncello...priceless! :)

Alex Kasemir

Portions are medium sized. But the atmosphere is authentic and there are plenty of options. They don't do separate checks tho!

Matthew Littrell

Bring your friends, bring your family, or come alone, just get here! It's the best Italian food in SD.

Mike M

Great food, awesome place... recommend the Baked Gnocchi with Alfredo sauce

Some of the best, most reasonable and authentico italian in town . Go on the early side for dinners , they do fill up. I swear by the chicken lasagna .

T-Rex Terry

Feels very Italian (obv) but the food is too good. I am definitely coming back here :)

Mezzelune all'aragosta is the best ravioli they have!

If you’re in the area it’s the only Italian I’d recommend.

I've gone here for years and the Black Linguine is always the best!

Make reservations before you come (we still had to wait 15 mins with reservations )

Amazing home made pasta , the gnocchi transcends poetry.

Make reservations on weekends. Get the filet mignon it's most excellent.

Huge portion on the pork ossobucco , and it fell off the bone like it should.

Food here is amazing. I usually order lobster ravioli with saffron sauce and a glass of pinot grigio .

Great Italian food in Hillcrest area! The guy will smooth talk you even when you're full with your entree... be warned he's good!

Najla

This restaurant is poorly ranked it's definitely not number 1 I really don't recommend it, I found a hair in my salad and there was a bug crawling on the wall then our table it's not clean .

David McG

Pork ossobucco over mushroom risotto is a gift from heaven.

Raechel Lieras

So good.. so fresh...so Italian

Wayne Wu

Check for specials.

BoB Darnell

Great food and service. Very hard to find parking and our meter expired. So we got a welcome to SD ticket for $42.50. Includes a $12.50 out of state penalty. Yes, we will not be back to San Diego.

Megan Sturm

Sit in Lucco's section, he is the man!

Tami Baribeau

Get just about anything here, and you'll love it. My fave? The Penne Arrabbiata.

Tolga

We had pasta & fried calamari both are good. They don't have pizza ; for pizza they have small place 150 meters ahead.:(We will try there as well but an Italian restaurant should have pizza ! 7,9/10
