Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in El Cajon / Lakeside

This was our first time here! Amazing service, amazing food, decent pricing. Fun place!! We had the meatballs and garlic bread for appetizer’s. After having that I knew the rest would delicious and I wasn’t wrong! The short rib lasagna was amazing! Portions are big! You will not leave hungry.

Great experience! We were not aware that the cheese wheel option would only be available for the chef special so we were a bit sad that we weren’t able to experience it. Overall great tasting food! VERY kind staff.

Our second visit to Limoncello in La Mesa. Love the upscale Italian restaurant in village. Authentic Sicilian staff and cuisine. Very welcoming and enjoyable. We had the arancini which were amazing, Cheese-wheel lobster pasta, and filet mignon. All were prepared very well. Limited, but good and affordable wine list. We will be back again.

The Galentines was so amazing! The food, drinks, and vendors love! Such a great vibe and the decor. Everything was so well thought out and perfect.

We are so happy to have found this place. The food is amazing....finish every bite amazing. It can be a special dinner, or you can just have a casual drink and appetizer. Friendly and efficient service. One little negative is the chairs. Wood is with an open back, which is hard for some people.
