Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Little Italy

This was our first time here! Amazing service, amazing food, decent pricing. Fun place!! We had the meatballs and garlic bread for appetizer’s. After having that I knew the rest would delicious and I wasn’t wrong! The short rib lasagna was amazing! Portions are big! You will not leave hungry.

Phenomenal experience. Been anticipating coming back here since our last trip to SD 2 years ago. Italian is our favorite cuisine so the bar is high. Overall some of the best we’ve had, hands down the best lasagne we’ve had and we’ve been to some of the best Italian all over the US. Great cocktails, food, and service. They delivered on all fronts.

We had a fantastic time at Herb & Wood. Since we were both busy on Valentine’s Day, we decided to celebrate on Saturday instead. From the moment we arrived, everyone at the restaurant greeted us warmly and made us feel truly welcome. Our reservation was at 5 PM, so the restaurant wasn’t too crowded yet, but even as it filled up, the level of attentiveness remained exceptional. Our waiter, Troy, was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered great recommendations. For appetizers, we had the Sicilian Crudo and one of Troy’s suggestions—a warm dinner bread served with butter, honey, and herbs. I don’t remember the exact name, but it was absolutely delicious! For our main courses, my husband had the Iberico Pork, and I had the Roasted Branzino. The Branzino was packed with herbs and flavors—I usually can’t finish a large meal, but I couldn’t stop eating it. We were too full for dessert, though I wish we had saved room! It was our first time at Herb & Wood, but it’s now on our list of favorite restaurants for special occasions.

Took my wife here for Valentine’s Day pre set menu. Was delicious. She got the wine pairing and Andrew our waiter was so knowledgeable about all the different wines with every course. I got an Old fashion and was so yummy. Just a great date night and loved the atmosphere and Andrew was an incredible waiter. Will definitely be back!

Amazing experience. The level of service, quality of food, and utmost professionalism by the owner was nothing short of a perfect experience.
