The music was delicious and lovely but not the food. The menu should definitely be changed and improved. The food is pricey considering the taste.

We made a reservation (through Open Table) for Easter Sunday at 1:30pm. Confirmed, reminder sent, the whole works. Imagine our surprise when we arrived to find it closed, chained even, and no answer when we called.Disgraceful. We will never return.

I stopped in as a bit tired and it looked good and it was. Nothing remarkable other than the arancini and a nice bottle of red.

I wasn’t that hungry so I ordered an appetizer, the Truffle Mushroom Risotto, and added some chicken as suggested by the waitress at the bar. So delicious!! I enjoyed the beautiful piano playing as well.

Had low expectations for Italian in San Diego. Waiter was super attentive: and he played the saxophone in the live band! Had a fantastic Lobster dish (and I’m from Boston).

Very Bad… I would never recommend it. They gave us 3 strips of long pasta in half a plate of incipient water. Not recommendable.

We had reservations to sit inside and listen to the live music, we were then sat outside, cold, had to ask for the heater to be turned on halfway through our meal for a 2nd time. Was cold and unpleasant overall

We went there for restaurant week but when we got there, they said that they are only participating in restaurant week for dinner. On the restaurant week website, this restaurant had a lunch offering and a dinner offering. I feel like they did a bait and switch kind of a deal.

Had dinner there last night. Food was pretty good but a bit overpriced. Atmosphere was great, fun place. But the service was extremely slow at the beginning. We ordered drinks a few minutes after we sat down and it took 40 minutes to get them. When we finally ordered food, it came out reasonably fast.

Took my mother there for her 101 birthday. Amazing experience. Roman the singer is so special with Tommy supporting him. Mom loved it. She actually cried. A huge hit. Thank you to all the amazing staff. Wonderful service with a fantastic menu. Planning a family night for 12 in a couple months. This place is fantastic Thank you!

This is a truly amazing gem, unfortunately my guest that I was so eager to share this experience with could not over look the very poor service received- I am aware of the low quality in service and the opportunities to improve for this restaurant; however the live music just makes it all up for me. My guest did not agree; was not happy with the price for service. We had to pour our own wine, was unable to get server attention, they did not get either one of our courses prepared correctly. Was a bad experience from a service standpoint- the music and ambiance was amazing.

Overpriced, slow service, waiter didn't bring champagne as advertised on pre fixe menu. Music too loud for conversation. Food was ok, but would have expected better for the price.

Went for Valentine's day. The quality of the food was not worth the $300 meal for 2 people. We ordered the butternut squash soup, sea bass, filet, and dessert. The butternut squash was good but each portion was about 1/4 cup. Overall, very disappointing experience.
