- KKariSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined on 12 Nov 2024Highly recommend! Our 1st time, and it was a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary! I am gluten free and our waitress was very knowledgable with the menu. We started out with a caprese salad. I had the short rib pasta dish w/ GF pasta. It was delicious! My husband had the lasagna which he said was amazing and melted in his mouth! Our waitress went above and beyond to make our night special and even gave us a complimentary, yummy panacotta. We will definitely be back!More info264 FrescoPrice: Moderate• Italian• Carlsbad•4.5
