Veronica H.

Found this place during a walk around the area. I initially wanted to try two other matchas but they were out of some ingredients. The cashier suggested the peach matcha, it was okay not great but not bad. The flavors for both the matcha and peach could be stronger, it was refreshing though. Service was good and everyone was really attentive. The place was nicely decorated for the holidays. While we waited for our drink I was able to see what other people ordered to dine in and everything that came out looked great.

Avocado Toast Classico Breakfast with fried egg

Suzie D.

This is a cute little European restaurant. It is adorable and the coffee is very high quality. The avocado toast was toasted perfectly with crunch on the outside and soft on the inside with a perfect amount of avocado. The service is also great. It is pay at the front, so no biggie, just maybe better for a small intimate couple or a few friends. Would definitely come back.

This is a review for the music and dinner show that takes place regularly at Divo Diva. I learned about Divo Diva because I frequent a business across the street. One evening, I heard opera music that I had thought was a recording, but then I heard people applauding. I was so surprised to find that it was live! After that, I looked up online and learned about the music and dinner show. I made a reservation to attend with two friends on a Friday night. When making the reservation, we learned that it was a set dinner menu with an appetizer, a drink ,and dinner along with the show. The price was around $100 per person (which included the show and gratuity), so I wasn't expecting anything too fancy. The host answered my request to reserve very quickly. She was very gracious and checked to see if there were any vegetarians or non-drinkers in our group. Anyway, the experience was like no other. The place is small and absolutely adorable. They had a list of coffee drinks that sounded wonderful, and some beautiful pastries behind the counter. The owners are both beautiful singers and sang a variety of operetta and show tunes. It was a two-person show. The customers appeared to be regulars and knew what to expect. The were both kind and outgoing and involved the audience in the show. It appears that they change the musical numbers regularly. It seems like the cafe itself has a lovely culture and they host other events during the week. The show is really a one-of-a-kind experience. If you enjoy opera music or show tunes, I highly recommend it. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the food was just OK. It consisted of a cheese and fruit plate, mushroom ravioli with meat sauce, and a glass of Prosecco. We ordered extra glasses of wine and a small dessert to share. As, I said, I didn't expect much for the price, and making the same dish for everyone is the easiest way to go for crowd with such a small staff. I'm not sure how it could be changed, but I may have preferred to eat first and just had drinks or dessert at the show. All in all, it was a very lovely evening.

I discovered this café through Yelp while searching for a spot in the Hillcrest area. It immediately caught my eye because it had all five-star reviews--which is rare! There's usually at least one person who isn't completely satisfied, so I figured it was definitely worth checking out. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the café's unique and charming ambiance. It's clear the owner put a lot of thought and care into the decor--some of the pieces show incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail. I happened to visit on St. Patrick's Day, and there was a parade happening nearby, which added to the festive vibe. I also snapped a bunch of photos by the pink tree outside--such a cute spot! I ordered a fancy drink and a pastry, and both were delicious. The owner even came over to chat with us. She was incredibly warm and down-to-earth--she totally gave me "girl next door" vibes. I'll definitely be back. Conclusion: The five stars are absolutely well-deserved. Ciao!

I stopped in to grab a cappuccino. The woman working there was friendly and the cappuccino was good.

Went for the Halloween Phantom of the Opera dinner event. I love opera and was absolutely blown away with how lovely Victoria & Rosario were. It was absolutely so beautiful and wonderful made me tear up. The show was great and was lovely to enjoy wine, some really nice lasagna, and a leisurely charcuterie. A heart fulfilling and joyful evening! Thank you both for the light and beautiful sounds you bring to this world! Oh gosh almost forgot to mention the beautiful and cool masquerade decor! The cherry on top!

Such a cute place with a great atmosphere and people working there. The coffee was nice and the cookie really grew on me. Excited to come here again for sure and try more.

A welcoming and cozy cafe in Hillcrest with breakfast food and pastries, paninis, and salads. The hostess was very friendly and offered some suggestions from the menu. They have decent vegetarian options on the menu, but wish there were more vegan options. Ended up getting avocado toast and side salad which were fresh and flavorful. The cafe is clean, bright, and splendidly decorated with regal teal seats. Combined with the gold-colored utensils, the place felt luxurious. Seats were comfortable. They had outlets for my laptop.

Everything Italiano. Coffee? Yes. Pastries? Yes. Cake? Yes. Pizza? Yea. Ice cream? Wine? Beer? Yes yes yes. No matter what time of the day or what mood you're in, you'd be able to find at least one thing that might strike your fancy. They even have live music on occasion. I love pistachio things and I tried their pistachio croissant. It was good! But kinda on the expensive side at $7. The staff are friendly and welcoming, you'd enjoy your time there inside or outside (great for people watching)

Dearest reader, It seems as if you may have..stumbled upon a ROARING review of Divo Diva Cafe . I found Divo Diva Cafe scrolling through Facebook one day & immediately became intrigued by an Afternoon Tea that was to be held. There were only twenty spots available & I just knew I had to be in one of them. The booking process was so easy. Victoria helped set me up with two other ladies joining me so we would be able to sit with one another. Pictures do NOT do this place justice. Every corner has a pop of color & something interesting to see. The book case wall was my absolute favorite. Seriously looked like something out of a Princess story book. Parking was SUPER easy. There is a park & pay within walking distance with a close cross walk. The singing was also something else to hear! I've only included a snippet to encourage you to experience that type of power house in person. I have always admired hearing the song Carmen Habanera, but experiencing it in person had me in complete awe. Can not say enough good things about my experience here. The staff was great, food delicious, music (clarinet & two opera singers ) out of this world good, & overall a really nice atmosphere. I'll definitely be back soon .

Tracy A.

Walking past the coffee shop, I was drawn by their beautiful cheesecakes on display. I went for coffee the next morning and was so impressed with my drink. I ordered a hot Lady Lupe with an add shot. Stop it right now!!! My drink was so amazing, it put all other coffee shops to shame! This is Hillcrest, known for its ambience and food and Divo Diva is the perfect fit. I can't wait to come back and try some of their food menu!

Matcha latte- no flavor, tasted like milk

Lisa A.

I ordered a matcha latte and at 6$, it felt like I paid for overpriced milk. I asked them to add more matcha because I couldn't taste it and even with the addition, it wasn't very good. I definitely would never order matcha from here again. At least the food was decent.

Our parents surprised us with a visit to Divo Diva for one of the opera dinner shows that are offered on occasion, and we were completely blown away by the talent of Victoria and Rosario. It was the perfect way to enjoy opera-- the singers were gracious and entertaining between songs and the acoustics in the room were fabulous. We enjoyed a delicious appetizer plate and fantastic ravioli, rounded out with Italian desserts. The experience was totally unexpected and amazingly moving. Some day, we will look back and say that we experienced this before it went big. Do yourselves a favor and go now to enjoy the show! read more

First of all, this business needs to use more social media to invite business. Who has even heard of this place?! We had a flat bread topped with fresh mozzarella cheese & prosciutto. What's not to love about that? The ambiance is warm and inviting once you get past the register at the entrance. The service was ... well, it was ok. The entire experience was lacking that " je ne sais quoi. " There was just something missing! The business is obviously not attracting customers and it seems obvious that something needs to be done to drum up business. From the moment we stepped into the shop, the owner was on his laptop and he didn't get off his phone the entire two hours we were there but to prepare a couple of flat breads. This is not very welcoming or caring, for the customers feel ignored and unimportant. The presenter of the wine tasting experience did his best to make it interesting, but after he left there were five customers listening to a self absorbed egocentric woman chit chat. This is not the Italian way to entertain your customers! They had said they were singers, then why didn't they turn on some Italian music and break into song? They need to do something lively to make it a good time so people want to come back and bring their friends!!! read more

This place is a true gem! Where else can you enjoy an authentic Italian meal in such an intimate, beautiful setting while hearing super talented opera singers like Victoria and Rosario? There's nothing else like this in San Diego! We went last night for a Christmas sing-along and had a delicious meal: lobster bisque (YUM), mushroom ravioli with bolognese (YUM), and some great wine (and lots of desserts to choose from-YUM!). The interior is beautiful and elegant, but the atmosphere is anything but stuffy. I've been to a few of the evening events, and it's always been a fun and unique way to spend an evening. read more

First thing you need to know is they have a FEW hidden parking spaces in the rear alley garage. This place is darling inside (spinning Eiffel Towers) and the female owner might start belting out her songs. Our drink order got messed up but they did make it right. They have a board with some fun named drinks to choose from. They are not willing to deviate from that list. They were sold out of the food item we wanted. Bakery snacks we ordered were decent. You can serve yourself water. 2 drinks and light afternoon snack ran a little over $30. You can order to go or sit down inside. read more

We were walk-ins, so seated at the bar but that was more than fine since we got to see all the actions as the dishes were being prepared. They recommend 4-6 dishes for 2 people.

What a gem of a restaurant!

Wow. Just wow. My…read morebest friend had been raving about Wolf in the Woods for years, so she brought me here for my birthday. As two serious foodies, our expectations were high. This place exceeded every one of them. Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood, Wolf in the Woods feels like a hidden European café you'd stumble upon while traveling. Sitting outside beneath the umbrellas with a cocktail, watching the neighborhood stroll by. It felt like a little corner cafe in Paris. Then the food arrived. Every plate was beautifully presented, but the real magic was in the creativity of the flavors. The combinations were unexpected, yet every one worked. Every dish had me wondering how on earth someone came up with these pairings in the first place. The Sweet Corn & Piñon Soup deserves a standing ovation. We literally stopped talking after the first spoonful. Rich, savory, slightly sweet, comforting and completely unexpected all at the same time. Both of our eyes rolled back in our heads. The Beef Tataki completely surprised me. The outside had a delicate seared crust, the inside cut like butter, and the citrus pairing made me rethink what flavors belong together. And the mushroom and polenta dish? The mushrooms had an incredible texture--like savory little pieces of mushroom jerky. I would have happily bought a pound of them just to snack on. Every dish felt like it was taking me somewhere I'd never been before, yet somehow felt familiar at the same time. Wolf in the Woods creates an unforgettable experience.

If you're looking to have fun and try a wine that is not full of itself but instead full of character, this is what you want. Also, I have a lot of friends who say that drinking wine makes them feel sick and that they never feel sick when they drink Oddish wines. Must be the way that they produce it and just how natural it really is. It's inside of a space called The Garten which is also such a must-see spot. They have Mead, beer, and a pizza truck? Pizza, outdoor oven type thing haha. And a stage that sometimes has live music. You order your drinks, sit on picnic tables with others, and enjoy the beautiful San Diego Sunshine

This time around, it was just the 3 of us, to chat over some wine and apps. Had their April featured Pinot, which was amazing (had 2 glasses). It's good to keep in mind that they only sell their flatbreads on certain days and unfortunately, they didn't serve it when we went. So, instead we had the crostinis, which is perfect if you want a little bit of everything, but not sure what to get. My friend got the chicken Caesar wrap, and it was a lot bigger than expected. As far as the ambience, there's seating all around the bar that's located in the middle. So it's convenient to just walk up to the bar to place your order.

First, I still really enjoy the Carruth Wine Garden. It is nice to have an outdoor space to drink wine right in the center of the city. In general there plenty of parking ,and it is dog friendly. As far as the wine, it is very good. I like some more than others. More recently, I have enjoyed the Unicorn Red Blend ( a longtime favorite) and the Syrah. I love that it is dog friendly, inside and out. My dog loves going there and she makes friends each time. A change that they made recently is that the main garden area is now child-free, which was a positive change in my options, as it had gotten a bit chaotic in the past with children not being very well supervised. The still have a family-friendly outdoor space. In the past, there was always live music when I came. I was there most recently on a Saturday evening and was disappointed that there was no music. Also, the prices have gone up ($18 per glass). Unfortunately, I found the pours to be somewhat inadequate, though it depended which staff member was pouring the wine. They do not allow for outside food, and only make certain dishes certain days of the week, which unfortunately doesn't allow for many options if you are hungry. Water is readily available inside and outside. All in all, it is a lovely place with good wine to come with friends and your 4-legged friends. It has gotten a bit pricey, and I do wish we could bring out own snacks, but I still enjoy going and am sure that I will be back.

It's a long-standing, family-owned restaurant (a San Diego favorite since 1961) with that old-school red-linen vibe, warm lighting, and a cozy patio that feels perfect for a date night or a celebratory dinner. We started strong with two martinis, then shared shrimp bisque, garlic bread, and a caprese salad. Every course came out hot, paced perfectly, and plated like they actually care. I ordered the cannelloni (comforty, rich, and exactly what I wanted), and he had the linguine with clams fresh, briny, and generous on the seafood.

It's a pretty @#$#ing good pork chop. Color me amazed. You can be skeptical. You might say I was just trying to justify having spent 50 on a pork chop. Try it. Stunning. I don't know if it's the best I ever had, but I can't remember a better one. Over all, they nail the experience, the food, and wrap it up in a bow.

I actually think a simple maple syrup would've worked better here. The waffle itself was decent, though I wish it had been crispier and had a bit more flavor on its own. Curry Hamburger The egg was light and nicely cooked. The curry leaned pretty salty, but it was smooth and flavorful.

I recently decided to try a new coffee shop in the Hillcrest area, and I was pleasantly surprised to have discovered this hidden gem. Though I used to live closer, it's quite a drive from where I am now, but it's certainly worth the trip. As locals may know, parking can be a challenge, but it's not impossible to find a spot. I had been a regular at Lestat's Coffee House on Adams Avenue, but I wanted to try something different. Divo Diva Café is a modern European-inspired café that prioritizes freshness in everything they do. For breakfast, they offer açaí bowls, avocado toast, bagels, and croissants. For lunch, the menu includes bruschettas, paninis, and pizzas. If I had visited in the evening, I would have been able to try their impressive selection of wines. The café has a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was busy due to a rush of customers, but the wait was minimal. I was greeted by one of the owners, Rosario Monetti, who was charming, professional, and friendly as he took my order. I started with the Mexican Mocha, which smelled and tasted incredible. The blend of cinnamon, chocolate, and coffee was perfectly balanced, leaving a robust, yet smooth, flavor. I'll definitely be back to try their specialty coffee drinks, which are sure to be just as outstanding. After getting some work done, I invited my sister to join me and try a few more menu items. She ordered the tiramisu, while I opted for the açaí bowl. The tiramisu was rich and creamy, offering the perfect "pick-me-up" we were both craving. The açaí bowl, on the other hand, had a delightful combination of earthy and sweet flavors, perfectly balanced. Unfortunately, I only managed to take a picture of the açaí bowl at the end of the day, as we devoured the other items too quickly! Overall, I highly recommend Divo Diva Café as one of the top spots to visit for both quality food and a fantastic experience. Their menu offers a wide variety of options, but the superior quality is consistent throughout. Thank you for the wonderful experience, and here's to your continued success! read more

This café has only been open one year and I can see how much the owners are pouring their hard work and love into this neighborhood gem. The food is really good quality and the staff is very welcoming.
