We have been going to Berninis for over ten years. It has always been great, but I need to give a special shout out to the staff who continually go out of their way to make every order, whether dining there or delivering, a great experience with top service. We love the chicken parmigiana, the pizzas and salads. The salmon is also terrific. I can’t say enough good things. Thanks for everything!

I’ve always loved Bernini’s — my family and I have been going there for over 20 years. Unfortunately, today was my last visit. I arrived with my son after school, just a few minutes before opening, and politely asked if we could sit down while waiting. There were two employees — a waiter and a woman behind the bar — who told me it wasn’t three minutes but actually five before opening, and gave me an unfriendly look while saying I had to wait outside.
That was disappointing. In my country, no one would ever treat a loyal customer that way — especially after 20 years of support. I truly loved this place, but after today, I won’t be returning. And if arriving a few minutes early was such a problem, I sincerely apologize.

We love Bernini's and have been coming here for many years. We ate back in the wine room this time, which we liked. The food was delicious, the servers are always friendly and efficient, we love it here! My favorite dish is the salmon with butternut squash, but I got the cheese raviolis which were very good too.

A regular go to for us in LaJolla, Bernini serves good pizza and pasta every time we go there.

Celebrated my son's 30th birthday here before going on to the Comedy Store for a show. From beginning to end, the staff were wonderful-attentive, friendly and accommodating. It is rare that we go out to eat these days and come back raving over the food and drinks, but this was definitely one of those days! The craft cocktails-delicious, and the food even more so! So glad we chose this venue-beautiful patio and outdoor dining space were perfect for larger parties and soaking up the local scene. To top it all off, it was right around the corner from the Comedy Store, making it a perfect place to take a date before the show!

The food is always great and the service was excellent. The cocktails are outstanding! Our go-to local restaurant for takeout pizza and a perfect spot to bring out of town guests. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely!

Great atmosphere - lively, attentive fun staff. Food did not disappoint - nor did the cocktails. And just around the corner from the Comedy Store!

The torches out front at Bernini’s caught our attention so we decided to go there for a date night. Our server Karen was so friendly and steered us in the right direction with some of her favorite pasta entrees from the menu. The food was superb from the classics like the bolognese to the fettuccini nero. Will be coming back soon for more!

Took the executive team out for supper at Bernini’s. We had a very lovely experience. The location, atmosphere, and service are top notch. A very diverse menu to appease picky eaters and those with dietary restrictions. The food is amazing and the portions are generous. Highly recommend!
