    Food and service were excellent. Some items a little over priced. Will visit again when in San Diego.

    We had a large workgroup and needed a dinner spot after a long day, and Asti nailed it. The service for our big group was fast but not rushed, the food was great, and the environment was cozy and comfortable. I’ve already recommended Asti to a couple of friends who live locally, and I would absolutely return in the future.

    Great service. Very flexible to our needs. Loved the mixed grill. A bit noisy but it was a Friday night. Good time for all!

    This was our first time there. The Caprese was good, the Bruschetta was okay, the bread was too hard, my risotto was great and my wife’s tagliatelle bolognese was also great . Overall 4 stars

    Service and food were excellent. Ambience was wonderful until two large groups came for party. Then a bit too noisy. Outdoor seating was very good and more quiet

    My girlfriend and I came here on Valentine’s day weekend. We came a little before our reservation and they sat us down right away. We sat outside which wasn’t bad at all since they had the outdoor heaters. Our waitress was so lovely. I wish I remembered her name, she checked in on us frequently but not TOO frequently lol. Definitely recommend coming here if you’re in the mood for some good pasta and good service!

    Service was phenomenal, food took a little bit longer to come out due it being Valentine’s Day. However, it was worth the wait as the food was as phenomenal as the service. Really feels like you’re family, would come again next time I’m in SD.
