Asti Ristorante

We love going to Asti! The best appetizers are the caprese and the fried calamari. They have an amazing entree on the specials menu that's shrimp, scallops, salmon, tuna, clams, muscles, calamari which is steamed in foil with linguine in a white wine sauce. It's healthy and delicious! We also enjoy their rack of lamb and the raviolis. The only thing I'm not crazy about are their desserts.

We checked Asti out a couple years ago on a whim and now go back every year! They have great food, great service and a very comfy atmosphere.

If you feel like sitting outside and people watching they have that as well. We prefer to sit inside :).

If your looking for something original, they have a pretty good selection of foods and the portions are pretty big! Then definitely check them out, I don't think you'll be disappointed :)

As a hotel concierge I recommend Asti all the time. Gaslamp Quarter is always a fun place to go eat. Asti's is small, but the food and service are great. Eat outside and enjoy people watching.

Ate here once; went for lunch and it was not crowded and peices were reasoable. I ahd the salmon penne pasta with sundried tomato sauce, calamari fritti. They also have another location in the Webster/Oak Park area.

We only ate once at the Asti, but the pasta was pretty good. I liked the one with the pesto topping - very fresh and vivid flavor.

This is good stuff. I've been to many italian restaurants all around SD, but this one was on the spot. It's fancy, cozy, prices are decent, and it's delicious!

Last Night I visited Asti Ristorante for the second time. I was in San Diego for pleasure and work. I was truly impressed with service and the food at Asti. From the very professinal and attractive Hostess to the table service, the food and the ambiance. Our Server was a young man Silvio from Palermo. The service was perfect and our meal wonderful. We ordered Chilean Sea Bass for my wife and Surf and Turf for myself that was just incredible. The Wine List is well priced and match with extensive variety of Italian and California Wine. The beautiful mural of Palio de Asti and the celebrity pictures in the wall definently makes Asti even more charming. Asti is the best Italian Restaurant in San Diego without a doubt! We Recomend Asti for everyone that enjoys the true Italian Food and Service! Grazie Asti Ristorante!

I'm from New York City and this restaurant is expensive even for that. The food is fine quality, nothing's wrong with it, but it's also nothing special. Entrees are between $20 and $40 and portions are small to medium. My friend paid $35 for a TINY plate of ravioli. Also, they tried to rip us off with our salads, asking "which salad" we'd like after we ordered each entree as if the salad was included, in fact it was $10 per salad. Find somewhere else to go in SD.

Last night my wie and I went to Asti Ristorante on the Gaslamp Quarter and we had a wonderful experience. A server called Mark helped us to decide the dishes and a bottle of good wine. I chose a Surf and Turf and my wife a Sea Bass plate. Everything was incredible, from the ambiance to presentation and of course the food.
i strongly recommend it !
