Our first dinner with them in late April, 2009. Had the home-made pasta in porcini mushroom sauce - super delicious! My wife and I both agreed that it was possibly the most wonderful pasta dish in all of San Diego. The ambience is attractive, the service was prompt and knowledgeable, and we will definitely go back. It is an excellent... more

After a long tiring day at the San Diego Zoo, we were starving (zoo food expensive & yuck). It was a bit chilly and we knew if we went back to our hotel, we wouldnt fo back out so we went here. Nice & warm inside, not busy, good prices and huge portions. We ordered a large pizza and out... more

While in San Diego at the end of March 2008, we found Jack & Guiio's Italian restaurant to be one of our favorite spots for dinner - we dined there twice during our stay - - outdoor seating not a problem when it gets chilly with the propane heaters. Service was very good and food excellent. I would recommend this... more

I read the other reviews and thought this would be a shoe-in for a good meal. I dines with my two friends, seated on outside patio promptly at 5:45 pm on a Monday night. My Vodka martini had an unusual aftertaste, like another drink was blended in the shaker yet not rinsed before they made my martini. I returned the... more

As a lurker who uses but has never contributed, my first contribution to TripAdvisor deserves to be Jack & Giulio's. My wife and I always eat here when we travel to San Diego and the food here is crave-worthy. We prefer the Scampi Giulio and the Veal Parmesan as our favorites, and sitting in the courtyard on a nice evening... more

My wife and I just ate there this past weekend and were blown away. Who would have thought that there would be such a killer Italian place right in the middle of SD Old Town - which is all Mexican Restaraunts. The food and service were fantastic - so fresh - some of the best that we've ever had. Plus... more

The location of this place is in Old Town- you would never think an Italian Restaurant would be located in the heart of the Old Town Mexican District. The food was great and so was the service. We had lasagna, chocolate mousse, and for an appetizer buttered mushrooms. You should call ahead and reserve a seat since we had to... more

We had the pleasure of dining at Jack and Giulios outside on the relaxing patio, listening to Frankie and Italian tunes. The waitresses that served us were wonderful and extremely attentive. The cuisine was excellent ,from the salad, to our entree, a very tender Veal Marsala, (the sauce was over the top) and the dessert...one of the best triamasu that... more

OK, I am a HUGE Italian food snob. Having been to Italy and being from an Italian family, I am hard to please. We came to this restaurant because, although we LOVE it, we were just SICK of Mexican food!!! I was a little skeptical of an Italian restaurant nestled between all the Mexican themed stores and restaurants in Old... more
