We were visiting from out of town. It was our last night in San Diego. My wife wanted Italian for dinner. I searched Open Table for Italian restaurants near our BnB that were highly rated but wouldn’t blow our budget. We opted for Enoteca Adriano. It didn’t disappoint. I had the Lobster ravioli and my wife had the cod. Both were excellent. What we really enjoyed were the cannolis. They reminded me of when I worked in NYC. the servers were friendly and attentive. They sat us on the patio which turned out to be a little cooler than I would have liked. However, overall, it was a most enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend it.

What a great experience. We had a reservation at 6:15 and we were seated by 6:16. Not typically how it goes at most places. Ordered a bottle of wine and the owner came over to open it and thank us for coming in. Again, not the norm. Food was absolutely delicious. Ambiance was warm and cozy. 10/10

Decidedly mediocre food and service Notable exception was Maya (bus person) who was on the spot Server was overwhelmed with 3 people ordering 3 starters, and it was downhill from there - every course required repeated reminders as to what we had not been served Pasta was cooked perfectly, however the food otherwise was without flavor - rigatoni with short ribs had 2 identifiable pieces of meat, and pasta with clams had a thin excuse for sauce that pooled in the bowl Place has a nice neighborhood vibe and was quite busy on a Monday night
