    5 stars for the bicerin, service, and ambiance. I would definitely come back for the bicerin again and try their food or other espresso drinks. Very cool spot, I'll be back for sure.

    Coffee is on point, no complaints there. Service was great and easy .The place was huge and they even service alcohol and pizzas. The only complaint was the pistachio croissant . It wasn't flaky and soft like it should be. It was rather hard and kind of burnt which leads be to believe that the croissants are not fresh and maybe a few days old (see pic). However I will be back to try the other coffee flavors and food items

    This place used to make the best pizzas in San Diego. Unfortunately under new ownership, it went from a 10/10 to a 5/10. Pizza dough and toppings have completely changed. It is basically just slightly better than Blaze Pizza now. But i'm not paying these prices for something of this quality. I won't be returning, Compare recent pictures to the ones from last year, and you will see the difference. Former Calabria, you will be missed.

    Pizza was still good this time although we noticed more oil pools on the pizza this time around. We tried their carbonara pizza and have to say that we prefer their tomato sauce pizzas much more because the acid gives the pizza more interesting flavor; carbonara pizza felt "flat" and one dimensional in terms of flavor. Their pizzas are $13 all day Wednesday and Thursday, so if you are thinking about trying this place out, I suggest coming for this promotion.

    Wifey has been wanting to try their Coffee here. Bought her here and let her order for me too. We just had a Raspberry scone, affogato and Cafe Latte to try. Everything was great and the Cafe latte was amazingly good. Staff are all friendly, cute decor near the Bathroom, lots of Tea Cups in the hallway towards the bathroom. Wifey texted me a photo of a women's bathroom that even inside there's a wall of Tea/coffee cups as a display. Side street parking and more in the back of this Cafe.

    I've been to this place a few times and really love their coffee. The latte is consistently delicious, and the staff is always friendly. The menu looks great, though I haven't tried the food yet. They have several outdoor tables with a chill, low-key vibe, along with some indoor seating. It's definitely one of my go-to spots for working and studying.

    Came in on a Friday night and the ambience was chill with good vibes. Ordered a magherita DOC pizza and killed it by myself. Nice light crust and toppings. Cheese was the best part. Would order again.

    Super chill spot with great service. They have really good specials during the middle of the week. I was surprised that it wasn't packed when we came. Negronis were made well. $8 Carbonara pizza hit the spot. $5 off Would order both of these again. Cute vibes for any type of social gathering or just venturing out solo.

    Diavola pizza.

    Unfortunately this place has sold and the new owners decided not to keep the week day happy hours and they are gone, all the prices have been raised and changed everything about this place. What used to be a very busy local favorite is now collapsing and dead. The pizza has gone down hill with cheap ingredients. The cheese didn't even melt on the pizza that we ordered. Won't be coming back

    Beautiful classic cappuccinos. Mid to louder vibes... On the busier side. Outdoor and Indoor seating available. Bar and table seating. Good service, a bit distracted but overall ok. Friendly and kind. Ive have their food in the past and dont remember it being particularly special. Might have to try their pizza again and update my review.

    I'm embarrassed... I guzzled my coffee but they do have a nice presentation!

    If you're a coffee person, then you must try the coffee from here! It's a favorite and I always order the hot café latte with one brown sugar mixed with cinnamon. Sooooo good

    Chicken Marsala on a bed of linguini.

    My wife and I ended our trip to Albany at Caffe Calabria after a rough experience elsewhere, and it was exactly what we needed. We have been back several times and it never disappoints. The dining room is warm and inviting, staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and there's comfortable spacing between tables. We started with the fried calamari - the calamari can be enough for two - and meatballs. For those of you dining in a group of four, take notice, sadly, only three meat balls are served as an appetizer. As entrees my wife had the chicken marsala served over linguini, and I stuck with my go-to, the veal cutlet parmigiana: a breaded veal cutlet covered in marinara and melted cheese on a bed of mal tagliati. Both were excellent. Our pasta was al dente and the cutlets were delectable. We finished with a generous slice of carrot cake and cappuccinos. A quick tip: make a reservation and try to arrive early -- parking can be a challenge. Highly recommended. If you like this review or the pictures, please do not forget to post a comment.

    Ordered two pizzas for pick up with their $13 neoplitan pizza deal. Really just a great deal for amazing pizza. Love how easy it was to call and pick up. Usually come here for drinks with friends and food, but knowing they have to go orders is great. Being able to get a drink and watch an nba game while you wait is really nice too.

    at Caffe Calabria , i love their coffee here and Scones .

    Do you have outdoor seating as of August 2023? Thanks!

    Do they heat up the sandwiches that are seen in their display?

    Yes, our staff will ask if you want it toasted on our panini maker.

    Do you/they serve Calabrian style pizza? Calabrian style pizza tends to be thinner and crispier than Neapolitan style which tends to be softer with high crust. From the pics posted, theirs look closer to Neapolitan style. So curious

    I'm not a pizza expert but I've had their pizza several times and in my experience it is very thin crust such that one can pretty much eat a full pie on one's own and not feel all filled up with bready crust. It's very similar to pizza I had in Rome… Read more

    Is there a pizza made with organic, vegan and gluten-free ingredients?

    They do have organic wonderful salads. No vegan pizza options yet but I heard some were coming soon! This place is so good!

    Are your pastries house made? If not, where do you source them?

    The staff told me these yummy pastries come from Bread & Cie. They use only the freshest ingredients. I really enjoy the croissant!

    Has anyone had their event hosted here?

    Yes they allow hosted events. Here's the direct number to call; 619-683-7787. Good luck and happy… Read more

    Anyone know how to get a phone number that works?

    Are they dog friendly?

    Yes, dogs are allowed. They have 3 patios! The upstairs patio allows dogs.

    Does this business take Apple Pay?

    They have Apple Pay! 😀

When I made the reservation, it was noted that there is a 1.5 hour limit on the table. Thankfully, Botanica isn't incredibly stringent about this rule as it gave us more time to eat, drink and be merry. My friend and I split the bill and I paid $87.49 with tip included. Here's what we had: Blistered shishito peppers - mild spice but flavorful New York strip yakitori - ordered two of these because they were that good! The steak was tender and the sauce rendered an umami flavor Botanika roll - tasted fine, but it ate one note. You can taste the citrusy parts but not much else. Mochi dessert - you can only get dessert if you order the pre fixe chef menu, but since our waitress didn't know this, she put the order in and gave it to us! We were incredibly grateful because it was the perfect end to a good meal For cocktails we ordered Spirited Away, Dragon of the West, Kyoko Sakura & Heads will Roll.

I made a reservation (just in case) because on a weekend you never know. Luckily, though, we arrived and there was plenty of available seating. My husband and I had our 10 and 5 year old with us and they easily accommodated us. It's a straightforward, but lovely menu that has a little bit for everyone. We enjoyed sharing a few plates and fresh oysters on the half shell. They do not have a kids menu, which was alright with us. Our daughter, who loves a good steak at 5 years old, enjoyed their pub steak and fries and shared a Mexican Coke with her brother. For my husband and I, we enjoyed sharing their beef tartare and to finish it off, a banana split. What we found so whimsical about Finca is their presentation. My husband and I really enjoyed exploring their menu and leaving room for a return visit soon. I couldn't recommend Finca more for anyone looking for a fun and casual dining experience with a lovely staff and unique take on traditional favorites.

This may have just become my new regular haunt. It's a fantastic neighborhood gem that deserves a place on any foodie's must-visit list. Absolutely love this place!

Being a sober girlie, I've heard about this place for years and was thrilled to finally try it so we had to order a few drinks. There's nothing quite like being able to look at a drink menu and know you can order anything from it because it's all sober friendly. They have a CBD infused drink part of the menu, a kava section and a mocktail drink section along with a food menu. The food looked delicious but we came here for a night cap after eating dinner nearby. We snagged 3 drinks- I need to check my notes on which ones we got but they were all so good. This is the type of place you can come here for a first date, date night worh your partner or co-work with your laptop. I saw all varieties of people who were doing their thang and it felt comfortable. The theme is inspired by Mac Miller and the decor is intentional and classic. Word on the street is that the 2 female owners had some disagreements with their investor so there's somewhat bad blood and that's always a bummer to hear people especially those in the sober community not be able to resolve their differences after they've made such an incredibly safe haven for us to enjoy. I get it though, some business partners are bad choices but y'all have made a beautiful experience here and I'm so grateful for it. Owners: Please don't shut this mocktail bar down ever but if you have to branch out, please do another in San Diego.

I really like the growing NA trend, and even though I drink, it's great to have an alternative, safer-feeling, and more inclusive nightlife option. I came with a couple friends on a Sunday night, about a week ago. We all drink alcohol, but we've all been drinking less lately. The place was almost empty around 8pm, which we found concerning for its prospective longevity. We also thought the prices were pretty steep -- maybe I'm biased as someone who drinks alcohol, but if I'm getting a mocktail or other NA drink, I'd like to pay less than $15+ for it. Still, I ordered the Ave Maria and thought it was one of the best mocktails I've ever had. One of my friends got the Malibu (he liked it but did complain about the price), and I don't remember what my other friend got. We sat for a while and played Connect4 using the fanciest set I'd ever seen. Some more people came in, so it didn't feel nearly as empty by the time I left. I'd probably come back, but only if I was with someone who doesn't drink and/or really wanted to try this bar. I hope they make it!
