    We went to enjoy a Barolo wine tasting dinner. It was a great dinner. As always, Stefano did a wonderful job designing the menu. We had typical dishes from the Piedmont. And the winds were exceptional. Roberto is such a gracious host. She made sure that everyone there enjoyed the evening.

    My friends and I had an amazing experience at Piazza 1909. It is a wonderful family-owned restaurant with one of the best Italian cuisine you’ll find in San Diego. Chef Stefano has put some fantastic dishes together and his food satisfies body and soul. His Wife Roberta and Sons make you a part of the family and the staff was also superb we were taken care of by Matteo a very charismatic young man. I could not recommend this place enough.

    Excellent all around. The lasagne was the best I’ve ever had in a restaurant and it came piping hot which is a big plus. Service was great

    Lovely ambience setting for our Valentine's Day dinner. The Piazza 1909 staff were wonderful. Our server was attentive and helpful. I'm looking forward to attend wine tastings in the near future. Grazie!
