Best Authentic Restaurants in San Ysidro

Thank you for hosting my birthday this year. Everything was perfect!!

Great place! We are definitely coming back. Excellent service and ambience.

From the wine, the fresh pastas and sauces to dessert delicious! We had the Carbonara, Fettuccini Alfredo and Bolognese, plates cleaned by the end. The seabass was succulent and risotto good but the pastas was where it's at for us...Nice size portions and the tiramisu authentically creamy with perfected flavors. The service was welcoming, expedient, warm and entertaining. Our waiter sung a couple Italian operetic bars for the room making our time at Acqua e Farina momentous. Happy to have a new dinner spot in downtown Chula Vista.

Our server Natalia was attentive, energetic and extremely helpful. We started with the beet salad and calamari for appetizers followed by the Diavola pizza, pesto penne pasta with chicken and fettuccine alfredo with chicken. We topped it all off with the tiramisu and chocolate chip bread pudding. Everything was delicious… if you’re a fan of dessert though, the bread pudding is a must try!

What a great restaurant and a wonderful surprise! We went to see our friend Roman Palacios, who is an incredible performer, singer and all around lovely man! From the time we came in the door, the staff was friendly, attentive, professional, and did all they could to make sure that we had a comfortable table close to the live entertainment. The food was delicious and the service was very prompt. I highly recommend it.
