This is a restaurant in San Diego, specifically Pacific Beach (PB) on Garnet that has delicious Italian food. I love their Caprese pizza and order it almost every time I go here. I have taken a lot of out of town guests here and everyone has loved the dishes they have ordered. Inside the decor is beautiful- look for the... more

This Pacific Beach restaurant, right on the main street of Garnet Avenue, is a true find. Lovely outdoor patio, romantically lit interior, and terra cotta stucco'd walls like you see in Italy. The four of us were greeted immediately by our Italian waiter, selected wine from their excellent wine list and then enjoyed their fresh baked bread and a wonderful... more

Completely found this place by accident! Thank goodness! The atmosphere is dimly lit with candles and beautiful ceiling to floor drapes. Windows overlook a tiny courtyard. Food was excellent and well presented. Wine was fabulous! Definitely a laid back, romantic, and italian atmosphere! more

This restaurant offers a solid performance worthy of the exclamation "bravo!" The atmosphere is casual and warm, and there is a nice buzz when you walk in the front door. Service is prompt, friendly and knowledgeable, and they brought out a nice basket of freshly baked breads. Good selection of wines. We had the calamari fritti which came out hot,... more

We had a party of five and everyone was more than pleased with their meal, wine and service. This place was a delight! The food is well prepared and presented and the menu is diverse. In fact, it was too much to choose from. I will have to return many times to decide what I like most. I highly recommend... more

This moderately priced Italian restaurant is hard to find, but well worth it! The bread and pastas are homemade and are all excellent. All ingredients are organic and fresh/local! The service is great, atmosphere is great and prices are very reasonable. It is also kid friendly. Every dish we had was incredible! more

The ravioli de magro is the best. the food is very tasty. The only thing is sometime it takes a little while for them to great you once you are seated, but once your server has taken your order, you'll be pleased. Nice people, excellent food. Every week have wonderful specials worth to try, and the prices are affordable. I... more
