We visited Old Town for a conference and brought kids. We lived in Italy for four months. This restaurant was home.

Loved the food here. I came for the live Jazz on Thursdays making it an awesome experience. The chicken marsala and margaritas were excellent and so was the service.

One of our favorites in San Diego! Food and service are always great! We come for the Panzerotti, a dish we have not find elsewhere. Ricotta cheesecake is excellent too! They could decorate the place a bit more to create some ambiance, but it wouldn’t change much….

The food at this establishment was truly outstanding. We opted to sit outside, where the ambiance was enhanced by live music playing in the background. The service we received was exceptional, with our waitress timing her visits perfectly. She ensured our drinks remained filled without being overly intrusive, striking a perfect balance.

Holy cannoli! This place was amazingly delicious and was the best place I’ve eaten during my stay in so Southern California!! The margarita was so fresh and I could have rolled around in the bruschetta. Next time I stop by California, I will definitely check back in!

Food and Ambiente perfect. We had a good time! 4 people. But Service: The waiter was not here very often, left very quick always, not too friendly – at the end he put 18% automatically on the bill (60 Dollar) although the service was not the best. He even discussed our decision of giving him little less. We did not like this behaviour.

Food was excellent. We sat outside where they had some live music playing. The service was very good with the waitress stopping by at just the right times. She kept our drinks full without being overly attentive which is a good thing.

If you’re near the San Diego Airport, consider checking out this excellent Italian restaurant. While this neighborhood is known for its Mexican restaurants, we were highly pleased with the Italian offerings found here. Overall, the food was great, and the prices were fair for the area.
