“Fettuccine Ortolana was very good, pasta is fresh, cream sauce was just right. Our server Danko knew the menu well and recommended their special of the day, risotto with scallops, calamari and lobster on top. It was very good. Plates are a good size portion, not too little or too much. Their house made Belgium chocolate bread pudding with ice cream alone would have me coming back. Prices are fair. overall we’re glad we chose this spot for dinner and would definitely come back.“

“I love their banana bread. I went in today and the barista was very nice and suggested the vanilla bean latte. It was the perfect amount of sweetness for me. Their team was so nice and the banana bread was amazing! Will come back. Also they did amazing during the parade!!“

“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.“

“poor service. food came not as ordered. took a long time to get food. had to flag down another waiter to get attention. party melt over cooked. 1 1/2 hour waist of time. both doors left open so we were swatting flying away from food“

“Amazing food. Casual atmosphere. Great service to go along with the great food“

“Best Chinese and Mai Tai's in San Diego or maybe the US“

“Best ice cream in town and it’s open late.“

“A coworker ordered for our spring orientation. The pizza was amazing!!“

“Our server, Eve, was phenomenal! We dined there tonight with a party of 10 which included 4 kids. Eve was on top of everything! The food was yummy and came out fast. I highly recommend Nautilus based on variety of food options, yummy drinks and excellent service!“

“really really good pizza. pizza bases made fresh on site.“

“It is an okay place for a fast bite of sushi. Atmosphere is average. Service was average. Food was just edible. Not bad but not really good. Mediocre.“

“Delicious döner wraps and amazing baklava.“

“Excellent venue. So fun to be in such a welcoming space. Good vibes all around. If you've never been, keep in mind this is not your typical concert venue - it's very small and very much a DIY set up, which is what makes it awesome.“

“Marketplace Grille is an absolute standout in La Jolla Village!

From the moment you walk in, you can tell this is a hands-on, heart-driven business. Owners Tony and Camilla are truly involved, and it shows in both the exceptional service and the consistently high-quality food.

Their Mediterranean cuisine is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared — perfect for a quick meal or feeding a crowd. And if you’re looking for catering, they offer some of the most reasonable pricing around without ever cutting corners on taste or presentation.

Reliable, delicious, and welcoming every time — Marketplace Grille is a must-try and a go-to for events!“

“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!“
