Food and service here was excellent. I ordered the lobster ravioli in saffron cream sauce from their specials menu. ($35) and it was absolutely worth the price. That sauce had to be the best sauce I’ve ever tasted; it was extraordinary. The service was very fast, waiter was super attentive, and the atmosphere was great. Will definitely be coming back in the future.

Visiting San Diego for 3 days and wanted Italian food. We can to this beautiful spot around 4pm on a Sunday. The place is super clean! We ordered Calamari, Bacon Wrapped Tiger Shrimp, and shared a Spaghetti with meatballs. All were Excellent! The vegetables in the Calamari were my favorite! Our server, Sini, was very kind and graciously attentive. We sat indoors because it was chilly outside but outdoor seating looked pleasurable. The bathroom is very clean and has hot water. The prices are a little high but considering the ingredients are fresh, it’s understandable. Overall: A must try!

I travel to San Diego every month and should have written this before. I have dinner at ASTI at least once every trip.

The bread they brought over at first was excellent and we started with a lot of hope after having read the reviews and seen the comprehensive menu. It was a busy night and unfortunately our waitress missed one of our two main course orders. The food was decent over all but my rating is due to service.

Portion sizes are big (lots of seafood) and very fresh, and the waiter super attentive. There’s also outside seating and despite being a big group we didn’t need to book but the resturant looked busy. Great choice of wines too.

Lasagna was not bad, though it was doctored with tomatoe sauce. I am not going to speculate why. My wife’s meal was good, but not exceptional. The atmosphere was the best part of the experience. Not sure we will go back when we return to San Diego

I love seafood and this Italian restaurant has a large, diverse menu filled with everything for everyone. I had items off the chefs special menu. Prawns wrapped in prosciutto. Expensive but very good. Then I had Lobster tail, shrimp, and scallops with fettuccine and pesto sauce. Delish! There’s plenty of outdoor dining options as they’ve extended the dining area into the street which is closed to vehicle traffic. There are plenty of heat lamps.
