There is nothing 'nouveau' about this placeyou will find typical red-checked tablecloths in a cool, dim atmosphere. As for the cuisine, if it was not popular in Italy in decades past, it is not on the menu. What is on the menu is a rich, flavorful array of pastas, calzones and pizzas.

    Been there several times, but not happy with the latest service we were there. We did not get any eye contact from the waiter since the minute we sat down. The worst part was when he handed me the check. His eyes were setting on somewhere else. How rude was that! The Amigo bus boy greeted us, served us more and was more friendlier than the waiter. I was so eager not to leave any tips for the waiter, instead giving the bus boy what he should get.

    Food was still good, only the service was not as good as before.

    Mr. White guy waiter, you really did not deserve my tips. Hope you get to read this review someday.

    Nothing fancy, just what I'd envision a nice, clean little Italian family restaurant with excellent food values to be.
    Everytime I get there, I'd order whatever is the seafood special and always enjoy it. Like one reviewer says, Never a dud in the menu.
    On a nice San Diego day, sit outside.

    Awesome: Best Italian food in the area. I'm sure you could go downtown, pay 3 times as much and find food this good, but why? It is a bit of a hole in the wall, somewhat crowded and noisy, so maybe not the best place for a first date. But, if you want awesome food at a great price in an ultra-casual atmosphere with great service, this is the place. Plan on waiting a little while for your food because they really are making it to order, but they'll keep the bread coming until it gets there. They do a bang up take-out business as well.
