The food here is excellent. They even have handmade pasta, which is almost impossible to find - a little more expensive but well worth it if you are a pasta aficionado. This is not a fancy restaurant but is a family place that has been in or near this location for decades. Pizza is great too.

Wheelchair accessibility: Tight for a wheelchair but definitely can do.

A great little gem on the border of Lakeside and el Cajon. Always busy because it's a "local" hangout.
The waitresses are fast and friendly. The food is wonderful with generous plates. I really love this restaurant.

Vegetarian options: There are several options, my friend had veggie pizza. She also considered the ravioli

Delicious food, wonderful service, great atmosphere and wine selection. The lovely and gracious Julie was my server, very cheerful and attentive. She had great suggestions to ensure that my dining experience was exemplary. The restaurant has doubled in size since my last visit. This is a 2nd generation family owned restaurant. Very comfortable, clean ,well run, great for date night or bring the family. Don't miss this east County gem. NY cheesecake is fantastic ? also has small, intimate outdoor seating available.

Wonderful Italian restaurant. Probably the best in San Diego. Very comfortable, and the eggplant is to die for. If you're going for a date night, the family meal is fantastic.
