Asti Ristorante is a gem in the Gaslamp District. It is the perfect place to have dinner before going to the theatre. The food is always amazing and the service is great, but this time, our server, Kinda, made the experience even better by her warm personality, her kindness and friendly manner.

We always try to eat at Asti when we attend anything downtown. They are still doing a fantastic job. Food is amazing and service is great! Large selection with vegetarian and gluten free. Absolutely recommend for dining downtown.

The service was amazing. The food was good. Not great, but good. The seafood for the pasta dish was all overcooked, but the overall flavor was good. And it was nice to sit outside and enjoy the very interesting characters walking by.
