Restaurants near Mission Trails Regional Park

We came in last night and had a wonderful experience. Our server was Alessandra and she was just amazing. First off the place is so cute & trendy, I love what they did with the space. We started our meal with the fritto misto (mixed calamari & veggies), fungo ripieno (mushroom w artichoke, red sauce & polenta) which was my personal favorite (the polenta was to die for) and the crispy burrata. We ate everything and left no crumbs ! Then we went on to our main courses. We ordered the fettuccine tartufo (mushroom & truffle - our tables favorite), spicy vodka pasta, ragu Della Nonna (red sauce with meat), and the parmigiana Milanese (eggplant Parmesan). Everything was delicious. The pasta was cooked perfect & al dente, we ate what we could & took the rest home! Then came dessert. It was my father’s birthday and they offered us a dessert of our choice, Alessandra recommended the fresh made table side tiramisu -good choice. Flavors were so well balanced. We also ordered the cannoli and was one of my favorite cannolis ever! Needless to say we will be coming back again! Thank you for the great dinner.

This place was much better than what i had this visit.

Food was delicious. Only thing that could improve was picking up dirty plates.

We have come here since they opened over 16 years ago, and been through the iterations of multiple owners. The service is always wonderful, the drinks are strong and the food is good. Their happy hour 4-6 pm is the best in town. Our go-to items are the turquoise tots and the flat iron. The soups have been a great addition. It’s a great local dive - big red booths, fun cocktails - and we love coming here.

We were seated right away. The atmosphere is so very French! Very quaint - tall lighted candles on each table. Waitress was very nice. Food was excellent! French onion soup is best ever with slices of beef short rib - wow! Gnocchi was mixed with veggies in a delightful Gruyère sauce. Escargot was tasty and the Salad Chèvre Chaud outstanding! The bartender makes a very nice old fashioned too!
