    Visiting from LA and happened to dine in this restaurant in Little Italy. After enjoying our food I kept thinking why don’t we have this in LA. The food was great and the service was superb.

    We eat out weekly and try to find new places that have great food, ambiance and service. Vinarius was the best experience we've had in years in San Diego because it scored so well on each criteria. We we greeted immediately and warmly, by who I think was the owner or manager We were seated immediately (for our reservation) The service was very good, without being stiff, insincere or overbearing The food was excellent - 6 dishes and we were all impressed (and we all eat out regularly) and the portion sizes were very good (great lunch or dinner for the next day) Wine list is excellent and the prices are fair The vibe was vibrant and upbeat We can't recommend this restaurant more highly and we'll be back soon.
