We LOVE this place! We found this restaurant in 2017 and took my mother there for her birthday. It has become our annual tradition ever since, including 2020 and thankfully they survived Covid. The food is fantastic. Huge portions. The specials are always inventive. The staff is personable and make you feel like you have come to their house for dinner. Don’t be fooled by the fact that it is in a strip mall in La Mesa. It is one of the best Italian restaurants in San Diego.

We came for the 3-course fixed Thanksgiving menu. The food, drinks, and service were outstanding. There was virtually no wait between courses and though it was a holiday, their menu was reasonably priced! Will definitely be coming back!
