The Godfather, a landmark restaurant in SD for over 50 years, has undergone a revival since being taken over by new owners. The service and food have improved significantly, with standout dishes including unlimited fried zucchini, Scottish Salmon, and Chicken Marsala. The portions are generous and offer good value for the price. The restaurant's 1970s Italian-inspired decor, complete with period pictures and a pianist, adds to its charm. Recent guests appreciated the amazing food and attentive service, especially those who reserved a week in advance. The staff, including a friendly server named Riccardo, makes guests feel welcomed. While some miss the formality of earlier days, overall, it remains a great place to enjoy delicious meals and a cozy atmosphere, especially on weekends, with reservations recommended.
