    This is easily one of my favorite Italian restaurants in San Diego. The food is consistently good, the ambience and vibes are warm and friendly, and it's fantastic value for the money. The setting in an old house built in 1909 is lovely.

    Wonderful! We had dinner inside but the outside patios are so inviting with twinkle lights and cozy heaters, too. And...dog friendly! The cioppino was full of seafood and served in a tomato-based broth. Just the right spice. Pastas are a freshly made. I had the pappardelle with lamb sausage ragu. Fully satisfying. Our first time here...certainly not the last!

    Giulia our waitress was friendly and helpful with suggestions. The ambiance was cozy and the freshly made pastas were authentic Italian cuisine. We were celebrating my nephew’s birthday and he was treated at the end of our dinner with a sweet treat cannolis. We definitely will be coming back and I strongly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

    Our experience here was nothing less than wonderful. From the moment we sat down - we reserved a table inside but offered a table outdoors and it was comfortable, our server - very sorry we forgot her name but she and another older gentleman were attending to us, they were genuinely nice & friendly, what we ate was all great - sad not being able to have the Tagliolini Nero and the Duck Ravioli as were looking forward to that but alternatives were just as great. We enjoyed every bit of food & attention given to us. We are looking forward for another date night here again very soon.
