I love going here even though the dishes are a little bit more expensive. But there is a definitely a reason why this place hasn't gone out of business!

After our first bad experience we thought we'd give it one more try since it's was so highly regarded. Lost again. The service was mediocre at best. We were practically ignored. The food was ok. It was pretty good even, but for the price I expected way more. I expected way better service too. Oh well they lost our business!

One of my favorite restaraunts in all of San Diego. The food and service is top notch. I have never been disappointed with any of the meals i have had at this establishment. A San Diego treasure

Family owned and operated this place is fine dining. My favorite is the Pollo Marsala. It is Chicken breast and mushrooms in a sweet marsala wine sauce. The service is great and the food is impeccable. Price is moderate for the area.

We made reservations because it was my wifes birthday. My wife, her grandparents and I arrived at our time, but the hostess was no where to be seen. Eventually a guy carrying water passed by and I was able to get his attention. He went off to find the hostess, which was in the back I'm guessing because it took awhile to find her.
We were then seated in a table next to the entrance to the bar and between the path of the waitstaff. I then asked for an dinner I really wanted to try, but I was told the chef couldn't make it without capers because the sauce is pre-made with them in it and cannot be removed. So I had to order something else.
My wife ordered the lasagna and the sauce was more of a pink water then a tomato sauce. Plus, the lasagna was drowned with spinach. The other meals were alright, but not worth the price.
After the meal the waiter insisted that my wife have a desert on the house because it was her birthday. She settled on the the tiramisu, which was dry. But thats not the worst part of it. The worst part was that the lever from the lighter he used to light her candle must have broken off, because it was on top of the desert. She noticed it when she blew out her candle.
After paying the bill we left, but on the way out the hostess was chatting up her boyfriend, or husband on the phone and just gave a half hearted "thanks" as we left. Barely lifting her head away from the phone to say it.
I will not go back to this place. If I'm going to throw hard earned money down on food, it better be worth it, and this place is not.

This is my favorite Italian restaurant in San Diego. The food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is charming. I've taken multiple relatives and friends there, and everyone always loves it.

You are instantly welcomed into this family owned restaurant and although it is fancy, you feel very comfortable. The dining experience is a long one but well worth it. Every course was better then the next and the wine list was extensive. This is a great value for the quality of food and service and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

They have great food, but the prices have gone up and the portions have gone down. Not the worst thing, but a noticable difference.

It won't stop me from eating here though :)
