we have found our experience here to be very satisfying. Over the years, we have found both the food and service to be quite good....and very consistent. Most recently we had our valentines day meal here and enjoyed it very much. A big plus here is the hands on presence of the owner, Ingrid Croce. Each time we have seen... more

I was in San Diego on business recently and had every intention of eating somewhere other than Croce's, just to expand my horizons from a couple of other visits. But after walking the length of the Gaslamp District, I couldn't find a better atmosphere, and I knew the food would be good. I sat at a table in the bar,... more

They have a web site that tells what their menu is, the history of the restaurant and what the entertainment is every day. My husband and I had a wonderful time there. The food was delicious, even though that's... more

We just returned from a week in San Diego where the food , in general, is incredible. We ate several nights in the Gaslamp District, but I must say that the our dinner at Croce's was glorious. Being a restaurant and jazz bar, we expected Croce's to cater more to the hearty ,but simple appetite . We were certainly in... more

Yuck. more

i was in SD for a convention and made my way up 5th street. I was going to eat at the Red Pearl, and couldn't find it (it's on 4th), so I walked in being a fan of Croce's music. I wondered if they would play all Jim all the time, but it was interspersed. I ate the spinach salad... more
