Le Cretique- Rube in the Hood
Stopped by and was saddened to see the place so run down. I can remember not that long ago a niceRestaurant that served good food, good wine. The only "nice" restaurant in Alpine. Now it looks like a run down restaurant you'd find in skid row!! Saddened simply saddened that father time has claimed another fine restaurant!!

Decided to try Mediterraneo for dinner based on proximity of our location and the raving reviews. They did not disappoint! Definitely recommend making this a stop if you’re in the area. Everything was great, from the service to the food to the ambiance.

What an amazing little find! Hubby and I just started our retirement and are rv’ing. We’re up in Julian and had to run to town for some medicinal items and came across this little gem in the same shopping center. The hostess/waitress was super friendly, courteous and a joy to talk with. We had the shrimp cocktail for starters which was absolutely delightful and a couple of salads that we both were very impressed with. The old fashion was very good as well.

Good food. Good drinks. Good wine. Good service. Good game room. What more could you ask for? The gamberoni all’s diavola was the star of the meal. Everything tasted fantastic and everything else around us that others ordered looked and smelt just as fantastic. The portions were larger than expected which was nice.

Great food and service. Afternoon music was a bit obnoxious. Would be better to mello it out some.

Delicious Italian style meals and I had the chicken Parmigiano, melts in your mouth with marinara sauce, fresh grated cheese and side of spaghetti ?. Dessert was NY cheesecake, with whip cream and raspberry sauce on the side. 1st time there. Lots of great choices!!

Had the lasagna, not made with the red sauce. Still good. Wife enjoyed her dishService was good and waitress was nice
Our favorite restaurant in Alpine or anywhere else in San Diego!We always start with theTONNO ASIATICO appetizer. Love the Italiana salad too!The owners, Enzo and Anna Maria are delightful and always make a point to visit every table. I tell Enzo it's my birthday... every week! He plays along and breaks out the frangelica! The family recipes are unique and the specials menu is frequently changing.Daisy and Angel are amazing! Always make terrific recommendations!Best food, service and atmosphere in East County!

We discovered The Med a few years ago and have had the pleasure to visit several times, eating both inside and ordering out. My favorite is usually a mushroom ravioli with an Alfredo sauce. I have also had the lobster ravioli. Either choice, the entire meal is tasty and fresh. They also have a good wine list. It can get crowded, so we try to hit it in the middle of the week. We have never been disappointed, even though I have to drive 10 miles when we order out. So check it out, you'll be glad you did!

9.5/10The restaurant is beautiful. The ambiance is nearly impeccable. Frank Sinatra crooning while you eat authentic imported Italian pasta over a well prepared drink is nearly perfection.The waitresses were kind, prompt, and efficient. The manager himself was getting his hands dirty helping around the restaurant. The kind of manager you want overseeing the place you're eating. The decor was cute, down to the genuine Vespa inside the actual restaurant, beckoning you for an Italian adventure. The people around our table seemed pleased with their meals judging from the nods and consumption. The silverware and glassware were clean, no water spots or residue to be seen. Napkins were crisp, no stains. Tables wiped, chairs level and maintained.Genuinely one of the cleanest establishments I've ventured through.The half point was deducted from the restrooms. Although both were clean(I may have peaked into the opposite bathroom as well), they left a little something to be desired after the charm of the restaurant. I found myself slightly disappointed at the lack of "immersion" into the Italian theme after the wimsy of the rest of the decor.Passing the kitchen, the cooks seemed in good spirits. Smiling, joking with one another. The camadre you find only in well-run restaurants.The food is fantastic. Generous portions, not greasy, beautifully plated. The tomatoes tasted fresh, juicy. The bruchetta is a must try.All in all, this is a lovely restaurant. Great food, good people.
