My Nonna's name was Isola, a wonderful cook who gave me a passion for food and fresh, simple ingredients.I have vivid memories of my grandmother turning plain bread into amazing desserts, simple apples into incredible fritters sprinkled with a little sugar and honey, and even treating my sunburns with olive oil. Thirty years later, I still savor every meal and moment.Isola is proud to serve the finest local ingredients, dalla vite, from the vine. I hope you enjoy every bite, plucked from my family tree for your table. Buon appetito!

Baci Ristorante offers diners a hint of old world Italian charm, with plush booths, white tablecloths, and gracious servers clad in tuxedos. While the decor is subtly modern, the menu is classic, celebrating Northern and Southern Italian cuisine. Specialties include classic pasta dishes, veal, and fresh seafood, with especially tempting daily specials offered by Executive Chef Domenico Alioto. In addition to the cuisine, the restaurant's charming and welcoming features--include an extensive wine list, elegant patio setting, and romantic main dining room--have made Baci a consistent favorite among locals for over 30 years.

    It was a great experience. Our first visit was amazing. Cocktails and dishes and the wonderful service of our server Milei were the ingredients of an excellent Sunday in San Diego. Very nice restaurant!

    Absolutely one of the most consistently best Italian restaurants we have been to. You would be remiss to not try the specials- they are always amazing. We had the sea bass with crispy leeks and a veal chop parmigiana that did not disappoint. Service with Bryan was top notch, we were never left wanting. The bar also serves the best expresso martinis to either start or finish your night. And Tony is a fixture at the door with wonderful hospitality- without a doubt a neighborhood gem!

    Our favorite neighborhood restaurant: great pasta, good pizza (crust a touch too thick to my liking), good happy hour, great value for pizza Tuesday, responsive service (special shout out to Olavo). and our favorite lasagna on "Funday" Sunday.

    Food was delicious and service was very good, despite being quite slow. It’s a good place to go when you have plenty of time to enjoy your food and the company of your party. It’s a little on the pricey side. Ambience is nice and they have multiple space heaters on the patio.

    It was a gorgeous setting and wonderful place for a nice birthday celebration. All was great at the restaurant but they did not have my open table reservation. I showed them my confirmation and calendar but some how the restaurant never got it.
