Really expected more from Italianisso… The food experience was nothing out of this world. Being a local spot on the heart of Downtown Chula Vista, It was highly recommended by friends. The salad was drenched with oil/ dressing, had a hard time eating it . The pizza was good, not mind blowing. Bruschetta ws fresh and flavorful. Service is really good with an excellent choice of wine to select from. I guess, I will need to give it another shot, try a different plate , to see if I can get that experience that has been described to me.

They accommodate me, my family and my dog very well! They have patio seating with cover, and when I call ahead they take time to give me comfortable seating for my family and dog, and I feel very attended to whenever we come here. Good Italian food is hard to come by, but Italianissimo Trattoria never disappoints, and knowing that my gluten-sensitive family can enjoy an expansive GF menu makes this restaurant an absolute gem. Every dish has been flavorful and brought to the table warm and in a timely manner. Italianissimo Trattoria is an absolutely pleasant city getaway without ever leaving the city, and they’ve made a committed returning patron of me and the fam!

Amazing experience all around. The seasoning and the service were impeccable. This is an authentic Italian restaurant. One of the owners was on the floor the whole night catering to guests. The staff was friendly and attentive. And the price is very reasonable especially for the quality. I will make sure to go back whenever I’m in town again.

Excellent affordable Italian cuisine, many vegan options available. Staff was very very attentive, kept pacing back and forth to our table which felt slightly rushed and uncomfortable.

Really enjoyed the Lasagna and some bread. Lemon soft drink also nice. Have been craving a good Lasagna and glad I stopped. I will come back for sure to try more of the menu. One of the more serene and quiet restaurants on 3rd ave in the village. Chula Vista Village. Delicious mmmm

What a wonderful place to celebrate one of the 12 days of Christmas with my wife, a dear friend, and our service dog in training! Each of our dishes was a work of culinary art. The antipasto for two could have fed three or four. And the desserts were a great finish to time spent with loved ones.

I’m changing my review after a second year of celebrating Christmas with my two sons here. The first year it was excellent. An older Hispanic gentleman gave us an outstanding service. This year, my younger son made a reservation. We arrived minutes before. Nobody took the time to even look at us or acknowledge us. Two older ladies arrived after us and were greeted right away and asked if they had a reservation. They didn’t. We finally told them that we had a reservation. At the end, the same man with glasses took our check and never even asked how everything went. Many years ago I graduated from the Hotel Management School in Geneva, Switzerland. The details make the whole difference and with that you get from good to great. Christmas 2023 we will try Little Italy. There’s so many great restaurants there.

The vibe of this place was warm and inviting. Spacious linen tables makes dining feel unencumbered by other people’s conversation.

My wife and I were trying to find a good restaurant for late lunch and as we drove by Italianissimo Trattoria we quickly did a U-turn as we decided to give it a try. It literally has been years since we visited this restaurant and the expectation was high. We ordered pizza, lasagna and a cesar salad with shrimp plus a couple of drinks. The food was excellent and service was top notch. We will be back when in the area.
