   We had an amazing special occassion dinner. Our waiter, Antonio provided us exceptional service, treating us like we were the only table he was waiting. The food was next level good. I highly recommend the Burrata beet salad! We will definitely come back on our next visit to San Diego.

   Made reservations and showed up a few minutes before to check in. There was a line of 20+ people waiting outside. When I asked the hostess where to go since I had a reservation for 7:30, she stated that ALL the people waiting had reservations and that it would be a minimum 30 minute wait. Didn’t even bother to stick around and wound up leaving. I understand being a few minutes behind but a minimum 30 minute wait on top of a reservation is wild. Plus there was no way all 20+ people were going to be seated within 30 minutes, the restaurant was already full. Poor service and won’t be back.

   The line to speak to the hostess stand was long and chaotic and you had to wait even if you had a reservation. There were people going table to table trying to sell you a photo package and there was even a woman selling roses came inside which felt invasive and unpleasant. Service was extremely slow and we had to prompt the staff for reminders about things we ordered a few times. Our waiter was very friendly and the food was great

   Overbooked reservations. Waited 30 minutes for a table with reservations and got sat outside next to the road with another table.

   Most of what we ordered came out cold. Too many bus boys, waiters etc fawning over you every 30 seconds. This is a place where they wanna get you in and turn over the table in an hour

   Our table was in the bar area. Very busy with staff and patrons moving throughout this area. Not a great area to be seated.

   I thought this would be a nice and fine dining place making my decision by visiting their website and looking at their menu. I was wrong. It’s a tourist trap in San Diego’s Little Italy. Horrible in all aspects 1. Poor rush service and unfriendly staff, 2. Limited menu and the pasta, except for the hand made pasta noodles, were nothing better that I could think compared to any chain restaurants, 3. The place was loud - both the music and the crowd noise you can’t hear each other talk over dinner, and 4. the menu was limited and overpriced. I will never come back to this restaurant even if the food was free. The service was so BAD even the table bread that tasted old and reheated took us a long while to get after asking the server 4 times before she got the Antipasti. Can’t recommend at all!

   Cute style but way overpriced for the low quality food. Our server was nice and had good energy but the whole experienced was tainted by the food

    Service was awful, food was cold and for some in our party wrong. They had limited menu we weren’t informed about when making reservation.
