Anila's Cucina Rustica Italian • $$$
11154 CA-76, Pala

“My wife and I had an incredible first experience at Anila’s Cucina Rustica, and it definitely won’t be our last. We even had the pleasure of meeting Chef Anila herself, which made the evening feel even more special.

We started with the burrata and caponata with eggplant appetizer fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. I had the braised short rib and the zuppa di pesce, both outstanding. The short rib was tender and rich, and the seafood in the zuppa was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My wife ordered the penne alla vodka and loved every bite.

What really sets this place apart is the feeling. Chef Anila has such a warm, homey presence, like a mother cooking with love for her family. You can taste that care in every dish. From the fresh bread and butter to the attentive and friendly service, everything was thoughtful and welcoming. From the moment they took my name down to the time we finished our meal, we felt genuinely taken care of.

Highly recommend. A true gem.“

“Great food. Great service. With the new expansion it appears they have tried to fit it as many tables as possible that detracted from the experience. We had a very loud and inappropriate individual next to us. Table was less than two feet from our. The staff at the restaurant handled the situation the best they could which we appreciated. Would not prevent me from going back. Would ask for specific table placement if possible.“
