I'm obsessed with their STRAWBERRY SPINACI salad and the classic CAPRICCIOSA pizza loaded with prosciutto cotto, mushrooms, artichokes, and black olives. If you love seafood, the LINGUINE A MARE is a whole ocean of flavor--Spanish shrimp, calamari, clams, mussels, white wine, garlic, lemon, and chili flakes. And don't even get me started on the soul-warming RISOTTO E OSSOBUCO... absolute perfection. Ended the night with their dreamy pistachio cake and the sweetest service from Val, who made the experience unforgettable.

The parking was plentiful unlike going to downtown or Hillcrest, or North Park, or Convoy. We went early enough where we didn't have to deal with a crowded restaurant. We started off with our obligatory Old Fashioneds which were delicious. Wifey then got a Oaxacan Old Fashioned which was also delicious. As far as food we started with their calamari which also included some shrimp and a nice cocktail sauce. The calamari and shrimp were very nicely fried and had very nice flavor. For our mains I got the carbonara and wife got lasagna. Both dishes were cooked very well and were yummy. We had a great time tonight at Garbatella and will definitely return.

Staff was very warm and welcoming at the hostess stand upon entering and very attentive throughout our dinner. For dinner, my wife and I ordered both the Sicilian chicken, which was fantastic, as well as their Angelo pizza. The pizza came with spicy pepperoni, Italian sausage, caramelized onions, and jalapeños. Definitely some of the better pizza I've had in my recent visits to the San Diego suburbs. A great place to try!

I'm glad we got reservations. The manager came over to let us know that they were short staffed and there would be a wait for the food. Actually, the wait wasn't super long. It also helped that we weren't super hungry and we were enjoying each other's company. While we waited, the wait staff made sure we had clean plates and constantly brought out the water bottles. They even gave me another tea when I was only half way! First time trying the Diavola pizza and I loved it! The crust is thin and crispy with the perfect crust. It also tastes super good reheated in a toaster oven. Always great good and service and a must go for locals and no locals.

The service was fast and friendly, the prices were reasonable, the food was good, and it wasn't too busy. There is outdoor seating, bar seating, and various tables and booths inside. As nice as it looked outside, we chose to eat inside. We were seated at a booth, provided with water and menus right away. It was quiet and peaceful, and allowed us to peacefully look at the brunch menu. We orders the special- chilaquiles, soufflé pancakes, a caramel latte, and a green drink. The food was good and there was plenty for us to share both plates. Our server was attentive and friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. The prices were reasonable and we enjoyed breakfast here. We will definitely be back and will try their dinner next time.

We did have some issues with the service though. We were seated about an hour after our reservation time and even though we requested outdoor seating, we still ended up inside. Since it was Mother's Day, we tried to be understanding because the restaurant was obviously busy. Our waitress was nice enough, but we did notice other tables around us were getting checked on more often. Again, it seemed like she may have been handling larger parties, so we didn't make a big deal out of it. The food honestly saved the night. My Italian wife said the short rib lasagna was easily one of the top 3 lasagnas she's ever had. That says a lot. My wife got the steak frites and while the steak itself was good, the potato chunks were undercooked. The tiramisu was fantastic too. We didn't mention the potatoes to the server because everything else was going smoothly enough. Overall, despite some service issues, we still enjoyed ourselves and would probably come back again for the food alone.

Una experiencia deliciosa e inolvidable en Vittorio's!…read more Si estás buscando auténtico sabor italiano con un servicio de primera en Tijuana, ¡Vittorio's es el lugar ideal! Desde que entramos, el ambiente fue cálido y acogedor. La decoración con retratos italianos, detalles tradicionales y la música italiana de fondo crearon el ambiente perfecto para disfrutar nuestra cena. Nuestro mesero, Ángel, nos dio un servicio excelente. Fue muy atento, siempre con una actitud positiva, nos trajo las bebidas rápidamente y nos consintió con un delicioso pan de ajo para empezar--¡riquísimo! Y la comida... ¡wow! Yo pedí una pizza de pepperoni con champiñones, y estaba deliciosa. La salsa tenía un sabor especiado perfecto, con bastante pepperoni y champiñones. La masa estaba en su punto--suave pero crujiente en cada mordida. También probamos los espaguetis con albóndigas--¡una delicia! La salsa muy sabrosa y las albóndigas enormes y perfectamente sazonadas. Muy reconfortante y exquisito. La pasta con pescado siciliano fue otro platillo que destacó, con la combinación perfecta de especias y salsa. Cada bocado lleno de sabor. Ya estoy planeando regresar para probar más platillos del menú. Definitivamente voy a recomendar Vittorio's a mis amigos y familiares. Un restaurante que es una joya--con excelente comida, un ambiente encantador y un servicio excepcional--¿qué más se puede pedir? Ahora en Ingles: A Delicious and Memorable Experience at Vittorio's! If you're looking for authentic Italian flavor with top-notch service in Tijuana, Vittorio's is the place to go! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The Italian décor--portraits, details, and classic Italian music playing softly in the background--set the perfect tone for our evening. Our server, Angel, provided outstanding customer service. He was incredibly attentive, always had a positive attitude, brought our drinks quickly, and even served us some delicious garlic bread to start--yum! As for the food--wow! I ordered the pepperoni and mushroom pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The zesty sauce had the perfect balance of flavor, and there was a generous amount of pepperoni and mushrooms. The crust was just right--soft with a crunchy bite that made every slice better than the last. We also tried the spaghetti and meatballs--what a treat! The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the meatballs were huge and perfectly seasoned. Truly comforting and delicious. The Sicilian fish pasta was another standout, with just the right blend of spices and sauce. Every bite was full of flavor. I can't wait to go back and try more items from the menu. I'm definitely recommending Vittorio's to all my friends and family. A gem of a restaurant with great food, wonderful ambiance, and exceptional service--what more can you ask for?
