   Service was the worst I’ve experienced. Had to ask for water, ask for refills, food took over 40 minutes. Some of the food had to be sent back. They did remove some of the costs. Would never return.

   Great place to take pictures and enjoy a different part of San Diego. This restaurant is located in a hotel and parking is $9 an hour. Once we arrived for our reservation there was a small wait and we were taken to our table. Our server greeted us and was very attentive the whole visit. I will say the food was just ok. They put ricotta cheese on a lot of the dishes which I love but it was ice cold and took away from the dishes. We ordered meatballs as an appetizer and they were cold on the inside and the ricotta also added more of that chilled taste as well. Overall the flavor was great tho. We also ordered garlic bread which I think they add the garlic spread after making it cold when I think it’s meant to melt in between slices. Again very good but the temperature was off. Our server offered to get a new one but we declined. Our main course was the lasagna and it was tasty but nothing seemed to be seemed to be hot. Really weird I never experienced this before. Lastly we had the margarita pizza and this was really good and had the right temperature. Overall everything was very tasty there was just the temperature issues. Idk if the food had been sitting too long or if it was the way they finish off the dishes with the cheese and butter but I wasn’t a fan. I’m not one to complain so we ended up boxing up most of our meal and reheating at home and it was delicious. I say give this place a try because the service was great and the food was tasty. I just like my food hot when served. Great ambience overall. Our waiter did offer to have everything remade but to me it wasn’t worth the hassle. Place is quite small bring a jacket.

   The restaurant is beautiful. The ambiance is great. Service was attentive and continuous. The problem I had was I requested a table with a view a few days before my reservation and I was told they would do what they could do. We did not get a table with a view and when I asked they told me the tables with a view had been up charged I believe. I was never given that option during my reservation process. Then they sat us at a table that was about 20” round. The table was so small that they had to put the 8” pizza we ordered on the counter top next to our table so all of the rest of our food would fit. I’m upset because it was my wife’s birthday and what I had hoped for, for her experience was not delivered. Maybe others will have a different experience, I’m sure others have had wonderful experiences there but on OUR visit, the experience was not delivered
