Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in San Diego

Absolutely one of the most consistently best Italian restaurants we have been to. You would be remiss to not try the specials- they are always amazing. We had the sea bass with crispy leeks and a veal chop parmigiana that did not disappoint. Service with Bryan was top notch, we were never left wanting. The bar also serves the best expresso martinis to either start or finish your night. And Tony is a fixture at the door with wonderful hospitality- without a doubt a neighborhood gem!

The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I had the poulet baguette and loved it. I substituted salad for the fries, but my friends had the fries and said that they were exceptional.

We cut a narrow path through the menu. She had a spicy margarita, I had the Oh Behave (a horchata/rum concoction that was most yummy). We split the queso fundido, and seriously, we could have stopped there, as we're apparently in our eat-like-a-bird era. But no, we plowed ahead, gorging on lobster tacos and enchiladas del mar--all of it was awesome and we each got down like three bites. These are not huge portions (nor are they small)--it is us, of woefully tiny stomachs. Oh well, go, go hungry. You'll be satisfied.

Food was delicious and service was very good, despite being quite slow. It’s a good place to go when you have plenty of time to enjoy your food and the company of your party. It’s a little on the pricey side. Ambience is nice and they have multiple space heaters on the patio.

always a wonderful place to go, great food and ambience -- the service was a little slower this time
