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!

Our server, Emerald, was amazing. She was knowledgable about the menu and gave us suggestions based on our diets. The food was fantastic, served quickly and seasoned to perfection. We enjoyed our visit and if we lived in San Diego we’d be here weekly!

Love the ambience, service and food and wine! The food that was good when first opened has gotten better! Thoroughly enjoyable as we ate salad, polpette, pizza, chicken, lamb and pasta carbonara. The Italian red wine was perfect for us. Thanks and see you again to the team at Elvira including Nick and Andrea and the rest of the team who was awesome:)

As always, the food is just phenomenal. Service was excellent. The rolls (vegan) are pricy, but well worth it. Wish the place was a little more fancy inside, but, all in all, still no worries, because the rolls are so darn good. Keep up the good work!
