    Not as impressive as I thought it would be. Looked like any other house - yes the doors are shorter than normal but it Eisner anything extraordinary. The road leading to the munchkin house was very thin, bumpy, and windy. There was no place to park or stop or even pull over to take a look at the home - you just got to drive really slowly by it. Nothing too crazy.

    House is built up into the hill.

    We were trying to find somewhere special for Mother's Day and decided on Italian since our family…read morespends quite a bit of time in Italy every year. Somehow, this ended up being one of the best Italian meals we've ever had -- including overseas. This was our first time here, and everything exceeded expectations. The restaurant is family owned by the chef, his wife, and their sons, and you can truly feel the passion and hospitality the moment you walk in. They came by to introduce themselves, which made the whole evening feel so personal and welcoming. The ricotta and spinach ravioli was unbelievable -- honestly one of the best pasta dishes any of us have had. The branzino was equally impressive, and that says a lot considering how much seafood we eat while traveling through coastal Italy each year. You can absolutely taste the quality of the ingredients. The owner mentioned they import their flour directly from Italy, and it definitely shows in the food. I only wish this restaurant was closer to home because I'd be here constantly. Such an incredible little spot in La Jolla.

    Food: Fresh local ingredients. The taste of fresh tomatoes and fresh seafood. Food came out…read morequickly and well timed to enjoy company we were with. Yummy cocktails too. Service: fabulous wait staff. Greeted as soon as we arrived on the steps, recommendations were provided when asked. Only slight misstep is our wait staff went MIA at the end of the night. Ambiance: reminds me of a quaint ristorante you would find tucked away from the Main Street tourist spots. Unique pathway of tucked away hidden seating area. Fresh greenery for decoration. Asked to be seated on the patio overlooking the front if possible.

    What an absolutely incredible experience from beginning to the end…read more We had a group of 8 and got a last minute reservation on a Saturday night. The host was so friendly when we walked up and started what was an amazing dinner with them. Our server was just the same and just such an enjoyable dining experience. It definitely gives an authentic Italian theme in the decor. Fun but not too loud. Now the food was out of the world amazing. Loved the hot and honey pepperoni pizza. The crust was awesome and every bite was better than the last. Thanks for a great evening!!

    OK there are SO many nice places in La Jolla. By contrast this one is just kinda mid…read more I ordered loaded truffle fries, and I decided maybe that was my bad for ordering fries from an Italian restaurant. They were kind of like stale, thin McDonald's fries with Parmesan and too much bacon... I don't know, I literally didn't finish them. I wanted to like them, though. So anyway then my friend got the risotto, and I asked to try it so I could maybe order some to bring home for my wife. But uh... it was pretty greasy. That's great for some folks but it's definitely not what we would have gone for. I got the Insalata Carlotta, which was decent. I really like capers and arugula, a couple of the featured ingredients. The service I thought was good. My friend didn't get there for a while and it was just me answering emails on my phone lol. The server took my cues really well on when I was and wasn't ready to order. Ambience wasn't bad either. Nice little spot nestled in between buildings. I think it's just that I wasn't a big fan of the food itself.

    I'd heard about Bernini's so many times over the years, and I'm so glad I finally went. The service…read morewas amazing from start to finish. I'm trying to get better about catching names, but the whole team made us feel taken care of. I tend to grade my Italian spots by their focaccia, and theirs was perfectly soft. We also ordered the lasagna and the spaghetti & meatballs to keep it classic, and it didn't disappoint. There are so many Italian restaurants in San Diego, but I see why Bernini's has been able to thrive here for over 20 years. I'll be back and will highly recommend!

    This was our first visit and it certainly was memorable. We were seated in a quiet little table…read morethat was private and perfect for us. Our waiter came over and welcomed us and set down a bottle of cold water and asked if we wanted anything else to drink. The evening was underway without a hitch. We asked a few questions and then we reviewed the menu. When Robert came back with the glass of wine, we were ready to order and the process was easy. We shared the fried calamari which had two shrimp and several different kinds of vegetables. It was served with two kinds of sauces. It was very good. My husband ordered the Salmon a la Griglia and he really enjoyed it with the risotto. I had the Seafood Cioppino. It had a great deal of seafood including really big mussels, shrimp and salmon. The broth was great too. The service was great and the meal was terrific. It has a nice variety on the menu. It seems to be a popular neighborhood place. we will be back to try some of the other treasures.
