Reviews for Filippi's Pizza Grotto in San Diego, CA
It was an experience to go downtown where they call it little Italy. We were going to eat Japanese food at first and my friend... was driving by this place ... all of sudden she's like Italian food because this place has the best Italian food. I agreed eventhough I wasn't in the mood for Italian food. As we entered the restaurant through their grocery store it became interesting tosee their shop first. As you enter the building the aroma hit me like a ton of bricks and it made me hungry for Italianfood. We were able to order our food and decided on a combination plate where you choose 2 entrees. I chose spaghetti ???? andmeatballs with cheese ravioli. Unlimited bread and butter. It was a perfect choice. We were full but decided on dessert becausewe were celebrating our friendship, departure and embracing / planning to do more spontaneous trips to see one another. Becausewe live in different states. We can always count on food ???? because it brings people together anytime and anywhere. Happyeating ???? Read more
We found the place on a walk through Little Italy back in 2019 and came back today for some of the best pizza I've ever had. The... first time we ordered the anchovy pizza on a dare and a sense of adventure and it was delicious! This time we got The Works withanchovies and it was perfect. The pasta servings I saw walking out of the kitchen were HUGE and I'm sure as good as our pizzaexperience. Read more
EXCELLENT food, great service, personable staff! Filippi's is an amazing local pizza place in San Diego's "Little Italy" to... remember. Pizza was extremely cheesy and slices were huge!! Heads up the large salad is well priced, but it is humongous. Ihighly recommend dining there. Read more
Amazing restaurant and atmosphere. Family friendly. The staff is very courteous and attentive. Definitely coming back for the... amazing authentic Italian food and friendly staff. We ordered a pizza (enough for three people), ravioli (enough for twopeople), and a salad (enough for two people). Bread and butter was free. Read more

I had a veggie pizza and dinner salad from here and while the salad wasn’t exactly to my liking, the pizza was excellent. It... was a good quality salad, just not my cup of tea. Everything on the pizza tasted fresh and high quality. They mozzarella tastedgreat. And my favorite thing about the pizza was probably how it wasn’t over salted and seasoned the way a lot of pizza chainstyle pizzas usually are. I didn’t feel awful after eating this pizza the way I would a chain pizza place. The restaurantitself was very chill and welcoming and everyone I talked to was very nice and attentive. Read more

She was attentive and made us feel like family. We alsoordered the chocolate cake just to taste it. It too was also fresh and delicate. Read more
Just visited this little Gem last night, and I have to give it a 5*s hands down! The waiting time was not bad considering every... place was packed this weekend. We asked the waitress her recommendations so we went with the Shrimp Scampi and the SupremePizza. (Definitely the Best Pasta & Pizza Combo) we even went home with some left overs. Thank you to the friendly waitress, thecooks in the back making the amazing food. We are coming back to this place For Sure!!! Read more
