Every single time we've dined here, the servers are always so friendly and welcoming. The food is made fresh, seasoned just right, incredibly delicious, and the warm "right out of the oven" bread rolls are the best!Vegetarian options: The Eggplant Parmigiano is my favorite! It's seasoned and cooked to perfection.I highly recommend it.Dietary restrictions: Let the server know upfront any dietary restrictions you may have, and they will be happy to help make your entree and/or pizzas exactly the way you want it.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get into the restaurant with plenty of front row parking.
Today was my first time here.The staff was so kind and made sure I was well served.The atmosphere was perfect.The food tasted delicious and reasonably priced.Definitely coming back here!

My husband, 2 yr old son & myself were starving and craving Italian. He suggested Pernicano's as he hadn't been in a very long time. Very cute set up of wooden booths and tables. Booths can fit one adult and a small child but not much more. Server had good suggestions & was sweet to interact with our son. The food was fantastic! Best Alfredo sauce I've had in San Diego so far. Owner came over, played with our son and checked in with us.My husband got in trouble from keeping this place a secret for so long! Will be back often!

We have been here twice - once pre-pandemic and once post-pandemic. Both times we have had wonderful and kind service but felt that the food itself was grossly overpriced for what it was. While the atmosphere and service were pleasant, we probably won't be returning since the food wasn't that good enough to justify the prices.
A 4.5 Star! Very good food and excellent service Yes, I recommend this restaurant! I ordered the seafood linguine and my husband got the lasagna and both were very good! Be sure to get the tiramisu cake at the end! It's very delicious with coffee. Don't forget to check in to get your 15% the entire bill!
