Lovely Italian restaurant near downtown San Diego.

Pleasant decor. Excellent and very cheerful service.

Delicious food. Had homemade pesto pasta. Companion had chickem parmesan. Both tasty. Prepared in the old way.

Delicious salad came with our meal as well as home baked bread.

We were leaving town the next day and didn't get to enjoy our very tasty left over food. Sad, very sad to leave it behind.

What a delight to happen upon. The moment you walk in the aromas of the pasta sauce grab you and make your mouth water!! Everything was excellent. This place is off the beaten path of tourism but it is FABULOUS!! Please try this lovely family business. The staff are very warm and welcoming. The food is excellent.

First time here. Got a pepperoni pizza 🍕 it was decent. I also got a cannelloni and ya save your $6. The shell was very hard and the inside runny, plus huge chocolate chips
. Not good at all.

My boyfriend and I went for an early dinner on Tuesday afternoon. It was not busy, so we sat at a nice booth. Our server was very sweet and prompt. I had the tortellini with mushroom cream sauce. It was excellent. Large slices of mushroom were cooked perfectly. reminded me of steakhouse style. The cream sauce was clearly homemade and divine. My boyfriend got the spaghetti and red sauce and added sausage (it came as 2 large patties on the side with sauce). The sausage was a little mild for his taste, but he felt like it was good quality. Someone recently posted that they got cold food. Well, ours was served visibly steaming and I had to wait quite a few minutes before I could take a bite. The garlic bread was buttered and toasted sandwich roll. Nothing to write home about, but it did the job. Everything was clean: floor, bathroom, utensils. It's looking a little rundown. I don't know how business is overall, but this restaurant is maintaining food quality, which is more important than new chairs or paint.

Inaccurate menu prices. You order something with one prices and then they bring you the check with a much higher price. Once you ask them about it, they say the prices have changed. Perhaps with the higher prices, they could afford to update the menu

Tacky music, so-so food, me and several people in my party were charged above the menu prices for our food. Food was not brought out all at once but one at a time leaving people hungry and waiting.
