This is one of those places you must go to experience. Great service from all the staff. Very attentive. The food is fresh, well seasoned and very flavorful. Good hearty plates and plentiful selection of wine. 117 bottles to be exact and 8 bottles of champagne for those special occasions. I had the penne al cinghiale and the calamari that came with shrimp. 10/10 would recommend. Especially with the exceptional service from all the staff. At other restaurants usually only your server is aware of only your table but here, everyone is. They make you feel well accommodated. As a born and raised San Diego native this is definitely one of those spots I will for sure recommend. Shout out to the executive chef Alex that personally brought our plates out to the table.

This was the most pleasurable experience and meal I’ve had in a long time walking distance from The Cartè (Hilton) in {Little Italy} downtown, San Diego. This quaint hidden gem sits nestled between buildings if you’re walking fast you might miss it. I’m not sure about parking but I can attest to it being worth the drive. I had the most appetizing, well prepared fried calamari and shrimp APPETIZER that could’ve filled 3 people! The calamari was tender, juicy and HOT with an amazing sauce. The prosciutto on the pizza was so tender and juicy I thought it would melt in my mouth. Kind and patient bartenders with an amazing host consistently checking on everyone. Along with handsome, Italian speaking young servers on all their P’s & Q’s ready to serve you. The family like atmosphere made you feel right at home with the endless cellar full of every wine you can imagine! I look forward to returning again one day, BRAVO Vinarius!!

I got the lasagna and it was amazing. It's a small place but they do great food. Great service! I would definitely go back again. I'm thinking about next time getting the chicken parmesan

Update: I got the chicken parm. It had great flavor but the chicken was tough and the fettuccine noodles that it came with with the sauce really kind of bland didn't add enough so lowering my rating

Magical Restaurant.

I was not even hungry!!! Ended up eating three course meal.

Food is delicious. Especially the limoncello cake and the RARE espresso Martini.

Staff are great.

Cannot breath, but Zero regrets.

We heard this was the best Italian in the neighborhood and we had to try it….. honestly a bit disappointed. Lived here for 5 years and tried everything around it. The biggest problem is that the seating inside is horrible. Ourselves and the guests sitting next to us were commiserating over the fact that the chairs are very uncomfortable and the bench along the window has you 6 inches taller than the person across from you— causing you to have to hunch or slouch to be comfortable the entire meal as you tower over the table. It was also very very warm inside. The Caesar salad was good and the garlic bread was good but the waiter made it seem to be included and then charged us. Lasagna was a huge portion! I found the seafood special to be subpar. The seafood was not cooked well and it lacked the rich flavor I was hoping for. The service was okay. I wanted to love it… but we left within the hour because we were uncomfortable and underwhelmed. $150+ bill not worth the experience sadly.

While the food may look delicious, thankfully it came out only an hour later! Not only did they forget our order, but it took 40 mins to receive our appetizer, which also lacked seasoning and flavor. At this point, we still ate majority of the app as we were starving and needed something in our system. Hoping that maybe they’re known for their entrees instead, we finally received our food. My boyfriend would not recommend the chicken parm bc the only good part of it was the fact that it’s protein. And trust me, he loves chicken parm. The chicken tastes cheap, the breading with the sauce and Parmesan has a bland taste. I got the Sea bass and while it was cooked well, it still lacked flavor and I needed to eat it with the mash potato in order to enjoy the meal. All in all, for the price they charge, you’d think the service and the food itself would taste better.

We came in to celebrate my husbands graduation today. We had a reservation made for 4pm and we got the most amazing corner seating that was so nice intimate. From the second we walked in until the second we walked out the customer service was outstanding! The food was perfection! Huge portions. Everything was priced perfectly for the amount of food and great fresh quality. Our experience was unbelievable and will always be remembered.
