So I rarely finish an entire plate. When I tell you I finished and contemplated getting a plate to-go I’m saying, THIS PLACE IS AMAZING with a capital A! Antonio served me and was amazing, he recommended the Tagliatelle Bolognese which was delectable. Will come again whenever I’m back in SD!

The food here was delicious. Was very authentic pasta and pizza. The pizza was cooked perfectly and the pasta was to die for. Definitely will be back if we are ever in the area again!

We popped in on a whim and were pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh, authentic and delicious and the portions were generous. Our waiter was attentive and warm. He checked in on us several times and delivered our food pipping hot. The atmosphere was casually charming and comfortable. Lastly, the offer alfresco dining and plenty of on site free parking.

Ordered food online. App said food was ready. Got here ton pick up and it wasn’t ready. Waited over 20 minutes for spaghetti and salad to pick up. Staff was rude and said not their fault wasn’t ready. Save yourself the time and go somewhere else.

So we ordered lobster ravioli and it was terrific. We also got chicken parm with noodles with Alfredo sauce which was really good as well. The problem is the decor. We were staying next door so it was super convenient but walking up we didn’t know if it was open. Inside, well it needs updating. We were seated on the couch bench tables. The tables were sticky, the bench was patched or covered with a sort of blanket where other issues were. So,
Just overlook the decor and the fact that the pricing is definitely 25% higher than it should be, give it a try, the food I think is really good.

Been to this restaurant twice. Each time, the experience was similar. Decent food quality but nothing stands out as an excellence dish. Tables were sticky and server wrongly charged my card and took 20 minutes to make corrections. Bread basket offered but charged $7 for it. Didn’t disclose other than a small line on the menu which can be easily missed.

Absolutely wonderful! Reminded me of my Italian mom's old recipes!

This place is so underappreciated. The place is super cozy and the owner is super friendly.
The food is excellent and has one of our favorite tiramisu recipes.
This is one of very few places where the pasta sauce is NOT sweet!! And you can really taste the tomatoes.
Also the wine is so good AND cheap!!
I would recommend this place for everyone looking for a delicious cozy Italian experience.

My wife and I absolutely enjoyed the service and food at Parioli's. Antonio and the staff were wonderful. The layered flavors in the wood fired pizzas and the ravioli were authentic and robust. We enjoyed an excellent Cabernet with our dinners. The atmosphere inside was pleasant and allowed my wife and I to have an enjoyable evening. We had an open window with a view out to the road so it was a nice change from most indoor restaurants. All in all a great evening date!
