    It was outstanding! The four of us had the signature shrimp dish. And they made mine with no gluten or dairy per my request since I have allergies. So we were all very happy and satisfied. And Stephanie was out server. Perfect.

    We have been customers for about 40 years. The food is outstanding, but more importantly, Jack and his staff are so friendly and welcoming. It is always a great time at J&G's.

    This is our favorite Italian restaurant in San Diego and it’s our favorite restaurant in Old Town. We are always treated like family when we go there. All the servers have been there for many years and take great pride in giving their best. The food of course is magnificent and is prepared perfectly. We always look forward to dining there when we are in the area.
