    The four of us had a great dinner and chose a few of the tasty pastas and a pizza. We also had the frito misto to start and it was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. Would return for another meal 100%.

    This is the second time we had visited this restaurant and it was as good as the first time. It is located downtown near the harbor and Cordona Island. We were in taking a cruise out of the port. Had a great Gluten Free selection of seafood and risotto was excellent. The wine selection was good and reasonable. There were 6 of us and we had a good evening. We will return when in the Sand Deigo area.

    Overall excellent! Too cold with our table by the door though. Perhaps a bit more choice of appetizers for a meat-eater who isn't in to too much fish....

    They are amazing! My FAVORITE server Jacob is so attentive and makes sure that our drinks NEVER hits the bottom of the glass! I've NEVER had a bad plate. From the full entrees, appetizers, pizza and their salads it has ALL been so good. Great ingredients and so flavorful. They have the BEST espresso martitinis. Soooo good! Giuseppe the owner is always there ensuring that he helps his staff run the place so smoothly and checking in on all customers. Thank so much!!

    We had a table for six everyone loved there order we split the Caesar and beet salad then ordered our entrees of Veal, lamb, seafood ravioli, sea bass all were wonderful. Our only regret was we had snacked too much over cocktails earlier so we couldn’t try more from the menu!
