“This restaurant was so amazing. The ambiance was great, it feels like your in italy and the service was superb. The waiters and the owner were very kind and funny. The food was delicious and each serving is quite large. We ordered the fettuccine alfredo, lasagna, fettuccine with clams and pizza Margherita and everything was top notch. For dessert we had the limoncello cake and the pistachio and ricotta cake which were delicious. They gave out table shots of limoncello which concluded the night on a great note. Overall we loved this place and would totally recommend it and definitely and come back!“
“Absolutely delicious! Wolf in the Woods has become a favorite spot for me. From appetizers to desserts, every dish is bursting with flavor and creativity. The ambiance adds to the experience, making it perfect for a cozy dinner or a special occasion. I highly recommend trying their menu – you won't be disappointed!“
“I travel a lot and stop by local mom and pop coffee shops often to enjoy some caffeine of course and get work done while one the road. I stopped by this location passing through San Diego. What a pleasant surprise. Greeted by the owner Victoria and her wonderful personality and smile I ordered a delicious coffee of sorts along with one pastry, and one more to follow. The I was entertained by a gentlemen playing an accordion while the owner sang along with an amazing voice. This food, environment, drinks all 5 star. Must stop by and enjoy the experience. Cheers“
“Very good service. They treated us very respectfully and attentively during our stay. The special tacos are quite large with a price of $10 each and the mini tacos or street tacos are $5. Their drinks are delicious and fresh fruit waters even more so. Beers in variety. I was satisfied with a specialty taco and 2 street tacos. The place is clean and quiet.“
“Whether you are popping in for a glass of wine before shopping at Sepulveda next door or having dinner of their wonderful specials that change daily (check Instagram), you will enjoy your experience at Juan Jasper. Lots of lively conversations between the staff and patrons (while still being attentive), varied and upbeat music playing just loud enough in the background, and a direct view of the kitchen makes for a wonderful atmosphere. A small act of consideration and respect by a customer is rewarded by the generous proprietor. This is what service and dining should be. You can see why folks happily wait to get a seat at this local gem. Cannot recommend enough: great for lunch and dinner.“
“Amazing little restaurant tucked away in the Horton Plaza. There isn’t anything negative to say! Everything from the atmosphere, food menu and most importantly, the service was amazing!! Highly recommended as a must visit if you are vacationing or simply passing through the area to a must if you live or frequent the area. Menu had simple selections and everything from the appetizers to entrees were perfectly timed. My only wish is to be able to bring it to the East coast! We will be back ❤️.“
“One of my favorite restaurants in SD. Not only are they fair with their wine pricing, but they also have amazing wines! The food is always fresh with great ingredient quality. The staff is extremely professional and the ambiance is always perfect whether you want to sit inside or out. The squash blossoms are one of my favorite dishes and we try to return to the restaurant on a semi regular basis. It is a San Diego staple that I highly recommend.“
“Just got off a long day of work and wanted a relaxing salad and a beer. I went to The Shop Pizza and got there Chopped salad (chopped chopped baby gems, roasted chicken, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, bacon, candied pecans, goat cheese, house-made ranch.) with a beer. Even though I had this one once before (early summer when they first opened), I had to try it for the second time. This time it was even better!! They have it completely dailed in. Chef Jason working his magic behind the counter made this huge salad that can probably be easily split with a friend. I wanted to take half of it home but I ended up eating it all. Everything is hand made right in front of your eyes. So super fresh an delicious!!Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Took my first restorative yoga class here last night with my husband. Really enjoyed the teacher, the yoga studio was spacious and newly renovated, and great quality props provided. Really cool that you can grab a bite and glass of wine after class too, which I plan to do the next time I come for class.“
“Whiskers & Wine is a must visit San Diego Destination. They partner with Whiskers without borders and always have a good amount of cats in the lounge, all of which are adoptable. Split up between the front bar entrance, the lounge and the upstairs Catio, there is plenty of space to hangout and play with cats. The cats are all friendly. The food and drink is great as well. They offer flatbreads, kitten tots, sweet potato fries and more. All are great to have to pair with a wine or a cocktail. My favorite cocktails are the perfect Meowtini and the Margarita Fresca (watermelon and mint margarita). Best flatbread is the Turkey pesto hands down. They do monthly events as well, yoga on the weekends, bingo and singles night. Just check their website and reserve your lounge experience today. I will definitely be back“
“This place is really cool, I popped in today to check it out. I ended up purchasing a couple bottles of wine and chocolates. I really enjoyed the knowledge of Margo, who was running the place. She knew exactly what I needed. They have a nice patio and heaters to enjoy the bottle of wine on site. They have some olives, canned fish, chocolates, etc available as well. I would have liked to seen some fresh cheeses or fruits available. I would have purchased to enjoy with my wine. All in all, satisfied and will be coming back for all my wine purchases. Cheers !“
“I've been seeing this place on tiktok so I finally decided to try with a friend. We had a bit of trouble finding this place, and circled around the building a few times before realizing which store it was. The worker later said that the place was made to be more lowkey/discreet. The vibes inside are 10/10. This would be a nice place for drinks with a friend. The inside is pretty small, so I don't think it would be a group setting type of place. Also, this is definitely more of a place to go for drinks, not food, as the few food items they have are all small appetizers. The service was great! The server who helped us was very friendly and constantly checked up on us. I would definitely come back for drinks. Also, they have a film drop off box at the front of the store which I thought was pretty cool! And the film developing rates were cheaper than other places that I usually go to!“
“It was a great experience!! The atmosphere stunning !! I felt like I was literally in Italy. The pizza and pasta are delicious and the service was top notch . Huge Thank you to Emily, Bruno and Gabi for the great experience! Highly recommend ⭐️.“
“Came here the other night for dinner, and the overall experience and food was good.(+) Ambience - cute restaurant.(+) Service - very friendly, attentive.( ) Focaccia - I thought it was okay, but I think the outside could have been a bit more crispy.(+) Porcini and sausage - My favorite pasta of the night, really good flavor. The only issue I had is I think they need to cook the pasta a bit more overall. All of the pastas tasted gummy and still quite doughy.( ) Roman carbonara - It was really interesting eating carbonara with rigatoni pasta. Not necessarily complaining, just an interesting observation. Flavor was good, it was very eggy, but again, the pasta was so doughy and I think needed more time.(+) Short rib ravioli - This was delicious. No notes! Great flavor, short rib was tender, pasta was actually cooked enough.( ) Tiramsu - Tiramisu was just okay, it came in a roll not in a slice, and it was fine. Nothing too standout.Would definitely come here again and try out some other stuff.“
“Me and my hubby have been driving by this place for a while and kept saying, we need to go there. We finally did it tonight and it was awesome! Angela was super friendly and made us feel welcomed. The food was amazing! We will definitely go back. It is a good place to unwind after a long day at work. We are happy it's close to our place. Please support local businesses, especially places like this one that care about the community“
“Seasons 52 always goes above and beyond! We have never had a bad meal here! Our waitress was super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu! We loved the wine that she recommended so much that we ended up buying a bottle to take home with us! The lamb was incredible as well as the Filet & Lobster!“
“The "Mardi Gras" pasta at Bud Louisiana cafes is a true delight! The combination of shrimp and crawfish sautéed in a sherry tomato cream sauce with capers and mushrooms creates a burst of flavors that will leave you craving for more. The pasta is perfectly cooked and topped with a generous amount of Parmesan cheese, adding a delightful touch to every bite. The dish is so delicious that it transported me into a ratatouille dream-like state, and before I knew it, my plate was empty! If you're looking for a mouthwatering and satisfying meal, I highly recommend trying the "Mardi Gras" pasta at Bud Louisiana cafes. As I am not a true food critic, there was no thought of taking a picture of the dish. But I will include the carnage“
“Celebrated my birthday on Saturday and truly enjoyed everything about the experience. I ordered a special pasta from Italy with prawns which I hadn't seen on the menu before and was wonderful. The dish was messy because I got into those prawn shells to get every last bite and waiter provided fresh hot towels to clean me up. Love the eggplant appetizer and bread which I get every time. The restaurant gave me an exquisite dessert as a birthday surprise. A lovely meal and my companions enjoyed their meals as well.“
“My husband and I happened to walk by this place and thought it looked like a good spot- we were met with the most amazing service and even more magnificent food! This is hands down the best Italian food I've had. We were both so impressed, the owner was welcoming, kind, and funny. This will definitely be a regular spot for us.“
“I had a very pleasant experience at Rosina's last night! We had a group of 6 for my nephews birthday. Our waiter, Colin, was sweet and attentive. Parking is street and they do have a side lot. It was busy even on a Wednesday so we walked a little but not far at all. The bread is delicious with the dipping sauce. We started with the arancini which I recommend! They are slightly smaller than I'm used to, so get 2 orders if you have a bigger party. I had the fusilli aka vodka with chicken and gluten free pasta. The G Free pasta is better than what I usually make at home, which was a major plus! I really couldn't tell the difference. Everyone enjoyed their meals! A great experience! Oh, and Wednesday is half priced bottles of wine!“
“First time here and I can tell you the experience was definitely a five star. I was served by Ray who took the time to tell me all about the wines and what makes them unique. I was fortunate to meet the owners who took the time to thank me for joining the club. If you are a wine lover but don’t like the headache you get from wine with Sulfates and preservatives… do you yourself favor and take the drive to La Jolla- you won’t regret it.“
“This is a go to favorite spot for my book club. The food here is always amazing and the atmosphere is lovely. The owner is a great person and helpful. This past year they were willing to host my book club even though they also had two other large parties (and it was raining). The service is always great and accommodating. The closed in patio is lovely and great for your pup. They are dog friendly! We will definitely be back and would recommend it to others.Parking: The lot in front is usually busy and full. The street spots are usually taken as well. If you go around to the back there is a paid lot with plenty of parking.“
“Surprised my best friend here tonight for her birthday and it was a wonderful experience! She loved it! We all loved it! Customer service was great and the ambiance was wonderful! Next time, I want to sit inside and definitely browse their wine selection. I had the Tempranillo alongside my spicy ground beef empanada and beef & pork chori dinner. The Brussels sprouts were to die for!!!! It's a great girls night out spot and date night for sure! Wonderful to sit outside and enjoy dinner on a brisk San Diego evening! A!“
“still here at the moment. this place is a cozy, hole in the wall establishment. the smash burger they have here is intoxicating all on it's own, it literally melts in your mouth. I added some fries on the side and my drink of choice was the natural red wine. I paired these fantastic options with the outdoor seating that is located in the back. I chose this place because it's within walking distance of where I live. I'm glad it's nearby, because I'll be coming back again. It's my first time here by the way. 5 out of 5 ! Also, let me add that the music playlist they have in rotation is curated perfectly well. Good vibes to say the least.“
“We had a large group for dinner and Ambrogio15 was very accommodating. Cute but dark restaurant. Pizza was good, traditional Italian thin crush. We had several different flavors and everyone enjoyed theirs except my daughter who didn't like Mortadella.“
“*amazing* food, superfun vibe, and a really great selection of guest taps (the BLAH house beers are, well, exactly as advertised - BLAH. ??♀️)I especially like the Highland Park Brewing beers (the pb stout Meryl) and the beers from Living Haus - standouts amid a week of standout beers! ?I had the Harvest pizza today - sweet potatoes, broccolini, really delish sauce “
“We visited on the 22nd 23rd and 25th of September in 2023 (Jim and Priya) I've been in a lot of cigar lounges and this is by far the most awesome experience I've ever had. The decor is like a movie set and the crowd is young and fun and eclectic. You will not find better ambiance anywhere. The host Christine took fabulous care of us and even let me borrow her torch - not something every lounge will do. They serve a nice selection of beer/wine and are open till Midnight. When we find ourselves in town again we're sure to come back.“
“Beautiful restaurant. Interior booths need an update due to becoming discolored. The tables by the window give a great ambiance. The crab cakes were delicious and seasoned well. The Augratin potatoes were amazing. First time ever eating Brussel sprouts, and they changed my life. I actually want to eat them now. lol ? Overall great experience. The service is great, from the greeter to the waiter to the kitchen. Would return.“
“Great place for artisan tapas and curated wine PLUS killer happy hour till 6 even on Saturday. Their mango lychee sangria is amazing! Their take on traditional tapas was also quite refreshing - like the date hummus and the spicy aioli papas. Jason our waiter was super nice as well.“
“Carvers is one of our favorite restaurants It is a hidden secret near Von's in Rancho Bernardo. My husband lives the pork Chops & I love the filets or the Prime Rib. In the bar, they have weekend musics & they make a great burger“
“Adrian at the winehouse is a true master of customer service. His wine expertise is exceptional, and his attentive, personalized approach makes every visit a delightful experience. He is a true asset to the establishment, turning each wine tasting into a memorable journey. Cheers to Adrian for setting a new standard in customer service!“
“Over the years I have dined at The Godfather Restaurant with friends and family. This time I invited 21 family members there to celebrate my milestone birthday. The staff was so friendly when I'd call to ask about or change something. We had our own private room and the waiters were excellent. They didn't mind that we were not in our seats right away or that we wanted separate checks by family. The tables were set up where everyone could see everything, we all loved the food, waiters cut the birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday with us....it was so much fun. The staff worked hard but they looked like they enjoyed celebrating with us. They are a class act. Everybody had a wonderful experience dining at The Godfather.“
“Waiter Saini was AWESOME. great outdoor and indoor sitting. He even went over the bill with us (a first for me). Coming back Tuesday when my buddy’s son/granddaughter visit. Do look at menu, in range for this level of place.Ask for Saini, he works everyday except TuesdayFood was greatItalian beer, haven’t had since I was in Italy with USAF.“
“Pros: baristas are very friendly and the latte and breakfast burrito I had was pretty good. I also appreciate how many tables / seating they have.Cons: the music is very loud and gave me a headache. Not good for people with noise sensitivities. This also made it impossible to hear the person across the table from me because everyone around us was trying to talk over the noise of the music.“
“Quaint. There is no way to describe this little gem of a wine, bar and olive oil shop. You feel like you are in Carmel, California with the warm tones, the ocean view, great wine choices, and light appetizers. The service was excellent, friendly and responsive. We will definitely be coming back.“
“Delightful, informative, fun, funky little wine bar in San Diego's East Village. I love the dealer's choice wine flight, which include 4 tastes of interesting wines including information about the varietal, winery, terroir, and tasting notes. I learn something every time and greatly enjoy the experience!“
“LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Such a vibe! Cutest decor! Everyone is so nice. The businesses are great. Sushi is opening soon! Cant wait! Best addition to old town San Diego! Had the cutest blue drinks at Hola Paris and yummy elote at the corn place! Must try the donuts from Barrio Donas and the shrimp at Flor's!“
“What a little gem! This place instantly turned into our favorite Italian restaurant in the area. The 2-pasta meal is perfect to try things you can't decide between. And everything was done really nicely! The cream sauces are fantastic.“
“Jack & Giulio's still brings the quality and the freshness to each dish. I have been here more than a few times in the past. I have to say I was worried about the quality and the service I was used to. Let me say that I was pleasantly surprised by both. Thank you for a great dining experience and keeping the dream alive for so many.“
“I gave the food 5 stars but did not eat here. I believe that it isn't fair to give negative reviews on it if you haven't tried it. Overall, loved the vibe. Around the corner behind the fireplace there was the video selfie station which was fun. I loved the atmosphere. It wasn't busy when we went, but there was a DJ which I appreciated. It is underground so if you don't know it is there then you may not find it which I appreciate. There were no servers so that was a bit annoying. We were sitting in the four chairs by the fireplace and one of our party members had to go and get drinks and miss out on the conversation. Overall though I would definately go back.“
“I've been there now two times for the comedy show on Wednesdays I love the show and the comedians are funny. It's awesome that it's a free show and no minimum purchase required. The last time I didn't do a review but this time the food was pretty good. They serve interesting options. Wish they had a flat bread or something, the patata brava is really good! The tuna tartar was pretty tasty, and I had the persimmon caprese with burrata and it was missing something not sure but it was an interesting taste. I liked the vegetarian options seem to taste good!“
“Visiting San diego and looking for Italian tonight.Ended up here Parma Cucina Italiana.Large choice of pastas with decent prices.They had Squid Ink pasta for tonight special which is hard to find at other places.Three of us ordered Squid ink pasta, Bolognese, and famous Lasagna. All foods were very good, excellent taste but not too heavy. Pasta was homemade and prepared as al dente.For dolce, Tiramisu, and lemon sorbet were both very good, probably also homemade and espresso and cappuccino were even served with warmed cups.Service was prompt, very friendly and cheerful.We had completely satisfied with full stomachs.Highly recommend Italian restaurant in San Diego.“
“Due to a move and other factors, I hadn't been to The Cork and Craft for several years. I took some friends on Saturday 4/13 and had another excellent experience. The ambience is stellar, the food was delicious (Nashville hot chicken sandwich, salmon poke, seared salmon) and the service was top notch. The star of the evening was Gavin H. He is young, engaging and witty. And he didn't miss a beat (homemade potato chips aside!)“
“Was recommended this place for being quaint and having delicious food! Didn’t disappoint in any way. Thomas was superb and the food was so amazing!! The flight wine is a must try, as well as the mussels and all the pasta!!Kid-friendliness: Thomas was able to make a kid friendly pasta for our toddler!! So happy“
“The neighborood spot I never knew I needed. We will definitely come back. We ordered the CHIPS AND DIP*: Potato Chips, Sea Salt, Caviar, Crème Fraiche, Chives, this was chef’s kiss. We also ordered,- “THE DANDY”: Red Sauce, Oiled Cured Tomatoes, Cheese Blend, Calabresse, Crispy Prosciutto and it was delicious.Bl Be sure to leave room for dessert- GOOEY BROWNIE*: Chocolate Chip Brownie, Crème Fraiche Gelato, Butterscotch Sauce,Candied Pecans is to die for!! Enjoy!!“
“Admittedly, I have not yet had the opportunity to dine here, though I hope to on my next visit to SD. Why I am writing is because I am a huge fan of Elliott Townsend. I had the pleasure of working with him years ago in North Park. To say that he is a culinary visionary is an understatement. The man has more creativity than any other chef I have worked with in my 15 years of restaurant management. I may not have dined here, but I have tasted his food (lots of it). It is worth it, 100%. Proud of you, Bubba.“
“Best Italian restaurant we’ve eaten anywhere!! It sets the standard for all other Italian food and service and we can’t go anywhere else now. I’ve tried a lot (and I mean a lot) of filets and this was cooked to perfection and the flavor outstanding. It came with fettuccine with mushroom that was like none I’ve ever tasted. The fettuccine with marinara and meatballs were phenomenal. You can’t go wrong with any food here!! It was romantic and the staff friendly and prompt. We enjoyed meeting the owner. We will be back next time we are in SD.“
“At the risk of it getting harder to get reservations here I will tell you that the food and wine pairing dinners are exceptional in taste and presentation. The dining room is intimate and inviting. You will meet diners at your table and make new friends here! Get on their email list so you can be the first to know who's coming to town ! Hope to see you there again!“
“Cute wine bar with a fun vibe. We came here after dinner and enjoyed our time. There are multiple seating options, indoor and outdoor. Inside, there are some cozy places to sit and talk. The bar tender was knowledgeable and gave us a few generous samples of wine to try before we each bought a glass of wine.“
“Cesarina is our favorite place for a special meal. The patio ambiance is so relaxed and comfortable. The service is impeccable without being stuffy and the food is just amazing. Don't miss the tiramisu. Thanks Daniele for a great evening“
