13 Best Italian Restaurants in Chula Vista

“Acqua Farina was amazing! Delicious food, a very special vinegar, incredible pasta and sauce, and wonderful fresh bread. The atmosphere, music, and friendly staff made it even better. Roberto, Cristiano, and Anel were the best servers ever—so attentive and helpful, and they made our first visit truly special. We loved the place and can’t wait to come back!“

“Do not sleep on this hidden gem of a restaurant! You don’t need to go to Little Italy for a taste of Italy.

Omar is a wonderful character who provided us the BEST service. The Alfredo cheesy bread, salad and pizza were all amazing! Highly recommend!“

“The food was amazing. We tried the Fit for a King pizza. Crisp crust, tons of toppings which included meatballs, sausage, onions, bell peppers and back olives. Also, tried the eggplant parmigiana which came with a side of lasagna and I got to choose meat sauce for it. Garlic bread as well. The service was awesome. She refilled our drinks without us having to ask which is crazy because she was the only server at a pretty busy lunch time.“

“Went here probably 8x, mostly made the same order and it came out different each time. If a menu says the pizza toppings, you'd expect those toppings or get told if something was out. Nope 1x we literally had a single sliver of green pepper and 2 slivers of onion.... 2x there were no veggies at all. 1x asked for no mushrooms and they put extra. I even showed the owner pictures of the previous pizzas and pictures of the receipts, he said he would fix it. The next visit was the correct pizza and decent portion of chicken. The following visits were back to the same missing veggies and such.🤷🏼‍♂️ The consistency here is just horrible. Some times the pizza is cooked perfectly and others it is soggy and cold in the middle. As for the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, it often has a very very small portion of chicken. 1x it was what I felt a decent portion. If they were more consistently good we'd be back probably weekly. I would say 6 of the 8x we had issues. I don't like sending food back, but also want what I pat for. Some staff are very friendly and do an excellent job, checking in just enough. However some employees seem they hate their job and we have to ask 2 to 3x for more water or ranch. I was excited to have found a new place, but sadly the overall quality is just a coin flip. For the price it isn't worth the hassle. And our visits have never been during a busy time. I won't accept anything to return, I have it enough chances. Also don't believe their 5 star reviews as they offer you a free desert in exchange for a 5 star review.“

“Great food and beer 🍺 kid friendly ❤️“

“It had been a while since I've visited an olive garden. It was very good. Complimentary soup/salad and bread sticks are always great. Staff was attentive and helpful. The food came out timely and was hot. The atmosphere was calm and quiet, it was easy to have a conversation without yelling or straining to hear. You can tell that it's not a new building but the place was clean and taken care of. I like that you can pay with card at the table and don't have to wait for anyone to bring the check.“
