I wasn't blown away by the food or the sauce of the pasta. But it was good. Friendly shop

When in the Point Loma area, highly recommend Ulivo. The food is great and the service is like family.

An absolute treasure! Although it leans towards the expensive side, the value delivered makes it worthwhile. They serve scrumptious homemade food accompanied by excellent service. We ordered the creamy spinach ravioli and a steak special with risotto. Their garlic bread, bursting with flavor, deserves a mention too. A special acknowledgment to Jackie for her outstanding service. Note that they have limited parking at the back.

We ordered pasta carbonara and burrata ravioli with parmesan proscuitto pancetta sauce and other ingredients I don't remember
In the end we had ravioli and spaghetti with exactly the same sauce... since I had spaghetti in my dish and the taste and smell was the same
Add to that a large quantity of small weights in a carbonara ?
55min wait for three pasta dishes…
And I would not finish the very unfriendly service (we were tired from our day so kept cool and sweatshirts) before I had even finished asking him for a table for 3 the waiters had already told me that they were full without adding anything else, not even if we wanted to take away
In short, I think that we were not well enough for them and that they treated us with some bad faith due to our apparent “lack of finances”.
In summary the food is not good, nothing like Italian food (apart from the pasta perhaps) and the service is deplorable

Food did not hit. Flavors missing or off, temperatures all over the place. Stopped at Carl's Jr in the way home

Noisiest restaurant we've probably ever been in. Ever. It's small, tightly packed and full of hard surfaces. Go early or go late, sit at the front or don't go.

Found a cute Italian pasta spot in ocean beach San Diego. Lots of pasta and pizza options, we had the capellini pasta and the ricotta spinach ravioli, both were very delicious. We also had the caprese salad, very fresh, just needed a bit more olive oil and maybe a little salt. Highly recommend the bread pudding, it's made in house and is super soft and really creamy and sweet with raisins and cinnamon. Service was good, the inside seating feels a bit cramped as it's a pretty small space and the parking in back is pretty tight (although free). Overall though we enjoyed the food and would come back.

We were greeted warmly and shown to a reserved table. The waiter was attentive, advised of the specials, and came back to check if the food was to our liking (it was). The seafood special was delicious, and the portions were generous. Save room for desert. They are all perfect if you have a sweet tooth. They do have a wine list and patio seating. It's great find and I'll be back.

It is a very comfortable and beautiful place. The staff's attention is very good, they were always attentive and very friendly, they made us recommendations on dishes, my pasta carbonara was delicious and the garlic bread was delicious. We ate very comfortably. Importantly, they only receive service dogs.
