“A tomato sauce I had was legit awesome, but pasta is not fresh

Happy hour is pretty good. Your order may get forgotten though when you order multiple things. Don't be afraid to send it back and get it taken off your tab when it comes late.“

“Nucci’s was the perfect place to host my dad’s 80th birthday. They closed the restaurant on a Friday night for our family, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. The food was outstanding, homemade, authentic, and made with so much love. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a family milestone, I highly recommend Nucci’s. Huge thank you to Maria and Mike for an unforgettable night, everyone is still raving about the dinner!“

“My experience here was nothing short of perfection. This was my first time coming here. I was on my way home from a completely horrible day at work when I saw this shop. When I entered, I was met with smiles and warm greetings. The owners were very nice, outgoing, bubbly and attentive. Their food menu had a lot to offer, there weren’t any prices on the menus but they had a large selection. The shop was very cute on the inside and seemed very clean. I will definitely be back as I shared a love of excessive amounts of garlic with the owners! My pizza was amazing and probably the best pizza I’ve had in a long time. Their ranch was to die for!!!!! This definitely made my day 100% better.“

“Plenty of screens for sports! Good food, craft beer and terrific local family atmosphere. The staff is hard working and attentive. A real gem tucked away in a neighborhood strip mall. It has invested in the sports package, so this is the best place for a game that you may miss at home. Always nice to enjoy sports around other sports fans. My go to for North County San Diego Forty Niners games, televised or not! Don’t miss a game, come here and really enjoy it! See you there!“
