Benvenuti Nella Mia Cucina, Belli De Nonna! Before we dive into the delicious feast prepared for you, let me give you a little taste of my vita. I was born in the heart of Rome, and I've been cooking up a storm my entire life! My cucina has always been the center of the universe for my 3 daughters, 5 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, their friends, loved ones, and acquaintances – everyone was always Benvenuto!Now, we've brought that same love and flavor right here to San Diego. My beloved grandson, Niccolo', and his amore, Cesarina, are opening the doors of my Cucina with the same warm heart and passion.Wondering how I made it to 95? Well, it's simple: I ate everything that's served here and filled my life with amore! So, Benvenuti! Don't hesitate to indulge in "Scarpetta" - dip that bread into the sauce, just like my grandchildren used to do at the stove when they thought I wasn't looking.Here, Belli De Nonna, it’s all about food, family, and creating beautiful memories!

Delicious food! The Carbonara is fantastic and the puccia bread is too. We discovered this place through Uber Eats, and wanted to try everything right out of the kitchen rather than after a 20 minute drive, and we were not disappointed. This place is worth the drive; will be back.

Starting with the welcoming greeting at the door, we had a fantastic experience. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the food and wine. Great team work at delivering food. Everything cooked perfectly. The presentation and taste of the tiramisu was such a treat. The outdoor seating was comfy, with lots of heaters. Dogs welcome and our waiter brought our dog a bowl of water. The music was a touch louder than we’d like, but really not a problem. We highly recommend this restaurant and will return!

I had lunch/brunch there, and the view of the beach was incredible. I haven't been to the PB area in 20 years. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the bar and the rest of the areas were clean.
