The service is provided by very young guys who serve quickly but don't know about food. We ordered an Aperol spritz, and they served us a totally different drink, with a different color, smell, and flavor. The waitress (young) only limited herself to saying that that's how they prepare it there because they don't have the necessary ingredients. We also ordered a pepperoni pizza which is very similar to a fast food pizza, it wasn't bad just that you expect better in an Italian restaurant, it had a lot of pepperoni which made it taste salty. We also ordered a lasagna which is pretty bad/average, they put the meat on top, it seems like they make it separately in case someone asks for it without meat and this makes it not taste good. In the end we ordered a tiramisu which is average. The water is free but it tastes salty, it seems that you need to change filters in the purification system or it is directly from the tap.

5 stars all around! Exceptional service, incredible food, and authentic atmosphere. They also have reasonable prices! Given it was a Thursday night, we walked right in and they sat us immediately right next to a peaceful little fountain. They made us feel so welcome and even heard from other locals how incredible their food was. I didn’t have huge expectations for the (kids) Alfredo but it was so flavorful I was pleasantly surprised. Wish we saved room for dessert. I would 100% go back.

This is a special spot. Amazing food, lively atmosphere, feels like you're in a charming little ristorante in Italy. Pizza was fabulous. Delicious pasta. Delicious burrata. Such a fun evening.

Great food, great service! Authentic Italian cuisine with a casual atmosphere. Try the spaghetti carbonara and the chicken parmigiana...you won't be disappointed!

This restaurant is a must try if you are in the La Jolla area. This Italian restaurant brought me back to my meals last summer in Italy. Delectable food. Outstanding service. Accomodating like I’m their favorite relative in their home for dinner. I watched how all the staff tended to the needs of each table this very same way.I’d give them six (6) stars, but the chart only goes to five (5)!Vegetarian options: They accommodated my every need on a per dish basis! Excellent service. Excellent food.

Recommended for those who want to experience ordinary food in an unpleasant atmosphere.It was an upsetting visit. Even though we had a reservation, we were given a seat without a heater. The food came out late and not as ordered. And I understand that a 3% tip is set as a basic tip on the menu price, but why do you arbitrarily add a 20% tip when paying with a gift card? It was quite unpleasant and unsatisfactory. I was dissatisfied with having to eat on the street in an alley, but the food was also average, which was very disappointing.Wheelchair accessibility: Impossible to use

Underwhelming. Food was good but not really on par with other restaurants in La Jolla. It is more budget friendly than others, at least. Pasta was very underseasoned. Pizza was
