Everything here is delicious. It’s meant to be ordered family style. We shared between four of us. Their outdoor patio is huge... and pets are allowed. -Meatballs ($18)- 2 medium sized meatballs that were flavorful. salted ricotta with focaccia read. Wishthey gave more bread. -Grilled lamb chops ($8ea) - I’m not a fan of lamb but it was pretty good but still to gamey forme. -Funghi pizza ($25)- it’s thin crust with mushrooms. I’m not a fan of the ricotta cheese and only picked off themushrooms. The salted ricotta from the meatballs was fine. -Fusilli piccante alla vodka ($21) - our favorite! It has a kick butso good. -Herbed pappardelle ($25) - I love this pasta but it was cooked too Al dente and had a crunch. -50 layer eggplantlasagna ($36) - 50 layers? Unless it’s really thin, I counted 10. But it’s so good. The chutney and basil gave off a sweetcandied taste. The drinks are yummy. I got valley of temples and its sweet and spicy like spicy Margarita with pineapples. TheAmalfi Coast is also sweet like a mojito. Mr. Trustee’s ice cream is next door and they close at 9 but you can order fromyour table. Same price. We didn’t know so we walked over five minutes before they closed and came back to sit down at ourtable. My favorite: meatballs and vodka sauce pasta. Will definitely come here again. Read more
Highly recommend, came for a date night on Friday with a reservation. The host and servers were very gracious and thoughtful... through our our dinner. The whole cauliflower was an unexpected LOVE and the Merguez Sausage Cavatelli was so flavorful. Thefood was on point, as expected with the Trust group. Read more
[Update May 2022] Still my most favorite restaurant in San Diego with great service, but the menu has changed significantly.... Drinks and desserts need improvement. Weird twist on the Tiramisu (didn’t like all that chocolate) and tasteless rosèsangria. The wine wasn’t much better. Would recommend sticking to your trusted beer or wine. [Dec 2021] Highly recommend theLamb Pizza and the baked cauliflower. The fig pizza is almost a dessert. The butternut squash pasta is also on the sweet side.Special thanks to the host/servers who accommodated us without a reservation on a busy Friday night. Read more
This is a great spot for brunch. The food was really good and the servers were friendly and knowledgeable. There are patio... heaters for the outdoor dining if it happens to be a little cool, but the indoor dining is nice too. You need to make areservation as it fills up quickly, but it doesn't seem crowded. You may want to schedule before noon, to make sure they don'trun out of their cinnamon roles (but the banana bread is delicious too). The atmosphere feels upscale but is very relaxed.Definitely worth a visit. Read more

I came for happy hour. I stayed for the food, vibe, and service. It’s simple, modern and elegant. This place is amazing!... Don’t walk but run here. The vibe, food and people are awesome. I got the lamb chop, asparagus, cheese ravioli, zeppolli, and3 drinks and everything was bomb! They bought out what looked like a 5 foot charcuterie board. BOMB! Parking wasn’t badeither. They also don’t rush you out when you’re done either. To pay my per person rate no mind. I was being greedy.They’re reasonable. Read more
