“Pesce freschissimo servito al momento, servizio veloce e amichevole, bella atmosfera, vini e acqua italiani. Ho ordinato un’insalata con gamberi e granchio, quando ho iniziato a mangiare ho visto che c’era della cipolla e la stavo togliendo, il proprietario accorgendosene è venuto da me per farmelo rifare. Un’attenzione fuori dal comune. ♥️“

“Finally submitting my review for the most wonderful coffee shop I have been to in the United States. If you have visited San Diego and not gone to Lilli you have missed out on the biggest gem the city has to offer. Not only was the coffee, ambiance, and vibe impeccable but their service is unmatched. I was lucky enough to be served by the amazing Isabella and to say she made sure my experience was incredible is an understatement. Not only was she kind thoughtful and helpful but she had a conversation with me like I would have with an old friend. Hard to believe a place so amazing can have even more incredible people working at it. Couldn’t recommend going more it’s an experience I have had a hard time finding anywhere else.“

“If you are walking around Prospect Street, I highly recommend Zoya! My husband and I stumbled across this restaurant while trying to satisfy two different cravings, and it did not disappoint.

I ordered a pizza, and coming from a family that owned a pizza shop, I can tell you that their fresh dough and sauce are top-tier. My husband ordered the chicken shawarma with truffle fries, and it is hands-down one of the best shawarmas in San Diego. They include pomegranate seeds in it—if you know, you know!

We also had an amazing appetizer that is an absolute must-try. The server Yousif was fantastic; the owner and staff made sure to check on our table throughout the meal.

They even treated us to a complimentary dessert made by a local French baker! We truly enjoyed this restaurant and will definitely be back.“

“CAVA has become one of my family’s favorite places to eat. Every time we’re nearby, my kids ask if we can stop here—and I completely understand why.

What I really like is the incredible variety. You can build your own meal exactly the way you want it. There are plenty of protein options, different kinds of rice, fresh vegetables, healthy toppings, sauces, and so many natural ingredients to choose from. Whether you’re looking for a high-protein meal, something vegetarian, or just a fresh, healthy lunch, there’s something for everyone.

They also have a great selection of drinks, and everything is served quickly without sacrificing quality. It’s one of the best places if you want a fast meal that still feels fresh and nutritious.

The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the whole experience is easy and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a healthy, delicious, and convenient place to eat, I highly recommend CAVA. Great food, excellent variety, fast service, and a place the whole family enjoys.“

“Of the best lobster roll outside. Lobster West in La Jolla serves up a buttery, packed-to-the-brim roll that's pure happiness. It's my go-to spot in San Diego for a seafood fix. Every bite is perfection, and the staff is super friendly. You can't beat it“

“Definitely an interesting place to eat. Everyone really nice. Food was reasonably priced, but not very generous portions , service was slow but it was Yeshiva week!
I also would have appreciated if owner would have updated their website or Google maps to reflect that They would be closed on Martin Luther king day.“

“Amazing food, staff & atmosphere!“

“I just wrote this review on Tripadvisor on 5/22/23 Title: A family run restaurant just like in old Italy! Cafe Milano is a hidden gem. After dining there for the first time and being incredibly impressed by the entire experience, I was amazed that my wife and I could get seated without a reservation. There should be a line of patrons waiting outside this establishment every evening they're open. Cafe Milano may be La Jolla’s best kept restaurant secret. First off, I love the ambience of its interior. The place is very attractively decorated in dark, earthy tones with tables covered in white cotton tablecloths with matching napkins. It is clean and very well maintained. The family members (owner, his wife, his sister, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law), do all the cooking, setting up of the tables, greeting and seating the clientele, and serving the food. Actually, there's also a family friend, Bri, who was our lovely and attentive server. It felt like I had stepped back in time to dine at an intimate ristorante tucked away in a small courtyard off a cobblestoned street in Firenze in the ‘70’s. Our dinner started with a glass of wine and a generous serving of bread. Our first course was a Caesar salad for two which was one of the tastiest Caesars I have ever had. For a main course, we both chose a grilled salmon over fettuccine with olives and capers. It was perfectly done to our liking and huge, the biggest serving of a filet I had ever had. In fact, our server offered to box up the remainder of our salmon when we were only half done, apparently because most diners can't finish it at one seating. We did. However, when we were finished, we were stuffed with no room for dessert - but Pasquale, the owner, tempted us with a piece of tiramisu that was out of this world in yumminess for which we somehow managed to find the space. I'll tell you this. When we return to place our order, which will be very soon, my dinner plan will leave room for one of their myriad dessert choices. Right now, I have my eyes on one of their three tartufo offerings.“

“Nice and friendly staff. Great food!“

“Delicious döner wraps and amazing baklava.“

“Pinpoint Café is the perfect little stop in the heart of La Jolla Village!

It’s perfectly placed for grabbing a coffee or sweet treat on the go — or settling in at one of their café tables to relax and do some prime people-watching.

The baristas are always friendly and welcoming, and everything feels thoughtfully made and served with a smile. Whether you’re in a rush or lingering in the sunshine, Pinpoint Café is a lovely neighborhood favorite you’ll want to visit again and again.“

“Maya, Calvin, and Emma were AMAZING!!!! Truly changed my mind about this Cafe. I was almost over it but they were so stellar that I fell in love with the atmosphere again. Will absolutely be returning OFTEN due to this welcoming and warm service.“

“As a first timer, they have great matcha from PARU. The matcha is already naturally sweet for those that enjoy without sugars and flavor enhancers. Almond croissant filling tastes artificial so I won’t be getting that again. Great laid back ambience with indoor and outdoor seating. Looking forward to coming back for the matcha and to try other menu food items.“

“I got mango Smoothie with boba. I love it.“

“Great flavours! Great atmosphere!! Great service!!!“

“Chef Felix and family put together an excellent meal. Every. Single. Day.I've been going here for 4+ years and am still going back. Everytime Chef curates, weekly, a menu and will even still make you almost anything you can cook on a skillet. From flatbreads, to home made soups, and a Cubano I would fight you for, they make a bit of everything.¡Provecho!“

“The most adorable setting serving absolutely delicious food. Fast friendly servers are all smiles and so sweet. The coffee is incredible and if you like Unicorns, well, that's doable here too! Don't miss it. Loved our experience.“

“Good food and music. Friendly ambiance. Very enjoyable experience!“
