Nice and friendly staff. Great food!
We will come back to try the pasta dishes. Today we enjoyed the veal dishes. Service was slow but the house sent out free Tiramisu which made up for the wait for our main courses. Grazie 🙏
A very nice dinner sitting outside. Service was excellent, food was really good and overall a nice place to dine and watch the sun go down.

Osteria Romantica offers molto good food with a quality Italian atmosphere. Diners enjoy dishes like stuffed salmon, lobster bisque, and gnocchi, all reasonably priced. The patio dining experience is enhanced by attentive service and heaters for cooler evenings. The Fettucini Ubriache with cream sauce is highly recommended for a filling meal. The restaurant's authentic Italian cuisine and excellent food quality are often praised, with many returning for the fantastic dishes and friendly staff. The ambiance is wonderful, and service, especially from the waiter Simone, makes each visit memorable. The braised artichokes are also a favorite among guests. Visitors appreciate the fresh, delicious dishes like halibut, veal piccatta, and spinach salad, prepared perfectly. The space has a cheerful, neighborhood vibe with a broad menu and a nice wine list. While the food is generally good and comes out quickly, some guests note that the service can sometimes be lacking, and the bread selection could be better to match the tasty pasta dishes. Parking in La Jolla Shores can still be a challenge, but the overall experience keeps customers coming back.
