   We had a lovely evening at Bernini’s. We appreciated the way the hostess made room for us inside as the weather was a little too chilly to sit outside. Our server was attentive. The food was delicious. We will be back.

   The best food in La Jolla. I’ve been coming here for years and it only gets better. Staff is always so nice and goes above and beyond for me and my family. Love you berninis. Ps I do wish you would bring back brunch.

   Seated promptly at a busy time. Service was immediate and attentive throughout. Karen provided a personal and yet professional touch to the service. She could not have been more pleasant. The food was excellent, served at a comfortable pace with exceptional flavor. Small salads were quite large, perfectly dressed and the time between them and the entrees was appropriate. Tables were far enough apart to facilitate private conversations and for a busy time the noise level was moderate. Priced appropriately. In sum, great service (Karen) and delicious food. Enjoyable evening.

    Bernini’s is a smaller hidden gem in La Jolla that never disappoints. I’ve eaten there for dates, family celebrations and special occasions and is my #1 choice when deciding where to eat. The ambience and casual vibe are well-suited for the neighborhood it’s located in. Definitely less pretentious than most of the other restaurants in La Jolla.
