- TTammiLas Vegas •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had delicious food and great service. I had the large raviolis stuffed with crab and shrimp in a light cream sauce. My friend had the pasta and salmon dish, and she had plenty to take home. I chose the Opera Cafe because it was 5 minutes away from the SD Civic Theater, where we went afterward. I was very happy with my choice. Definitely recommend you eat there.More infoOperacaffePrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown•4.6
- RRene1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoLoved our 2nd year anniversary here. Took my girlfriend out for Valentine’s Day , first time at the restaurant not knowing what to expect. Was greeted warmly and walked to our seats within 3 minutes of arrival. I asked the front desk if they could do a cute decoration on our desert for our anniversary and they did! Expect to spend around 300-400$ if attending for valentines. Have never spent this much on food but it was definitely worth the experience! (Loved the oysters wish there would’ve been 3/4 instead of just2)More infoProvisional Restaurant at Pendry San DiegoPrice: Expensive• American• Downtown•4.6

- JJerrySan Diego •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAs always, the lunch at Asti was wonderful! It was Valentine's Day & most choose to dine in the evening, so we had the patio to ourselves. Our server, Anthony, was attentive and personable. The Pasta was cooked to perfection and the salad was fresh & very tasty! All in all, a very nice experience for a beautiful San diego afternoon!More infoAsti RistorantePrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown•4.6
