I visited this nearby restaurant to Crown Point, and it was Excellent. I had Spaghetti Carbona & a glass of wine, Chardonnay Silvestri "Bella Sandra" Monterey, for $12 ! The meal and wine was excellent. The Service was even better! I can't wait to go back again, and have highly recommended it to friends. The 16oz New York Steak is a great deal at $35.95, when it's in the $50.00 plus range at Outback & more at other places!!! read more

Amazing food and ambiance. Pasta was my favorite , tastes so fresh! Kimberly and Brian made it an unforgettable experience :) love this spot read more

First of all, the ambience is absolutely beautiful inside even though it is in a strip mall off a parking lot near the freeway... the creative lighting decor on the ceiling adds to the warm atmosphere. We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday, and we were attended to very warmly by Gustavo a.k.a. "Caprese", and the service was very attentive. Our meals were delicious and were packed promptly for us to go that which we didn't finish... In addition wine suggestions were made to go with our meals, and since it was my husband's birthday they brought a complementary birthday cheesecake and sang him happy birthday. We have been here on other occasions and have always been attended to promptly and warmly. Highly recommend this establishment! È ottimo e meraviglioso! read more

I would give this place a solid 3.95. The food was good, however it lacked a little bit of flavor. The service was great. Parking was very easy. The ambiance was pleasant, it's a quiet spot for dinner. It wasn't the best italian food i've had but it was good enough. read more

Pezzi Del Mio Cuore - carbonara - Italian Near Me - San Diego, California

This is a hidden gem in Point Loma and I'm trying to spread the word because every time I stop in for lunch, it's empty and I don't understand why because this place is so delicious!! The food is very authentic and comes close to restaurants I've been to in Italy! Not only is their food excellent, but their servers and customer is stellar as well! They have great lunch specials and I highly recommend their meatballs and orecchiette pasta. Their salads are also light and tasty and not too dressed up. Their marina sauce is not the standard red sauce and is actually more orange because I think of the tomatoes they use. It's not too acidic and has a nice balance and flavor. My friend ordered the lasagna and she said it was one of the best she's ever had so will have to try that next time. They also serve complimentary bread with oil and vinegar which is fresh and tastes like real bread without all the preservatives. I've come here for both lunch and dinner and I will keep coming back to support this local business! Spread the word! read more

Met a friend here for lunch at her suggestion. We arrived at 11am when they opened and was seated at a table in the corner by a very nice waiter. I ordered the orecchiette pasta with sausage meat and it was delicious. The portion was a good size. Since I got full on the complimentary warm baguette with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, I ended up eating only half my pasta and took the rest home. It was even better the next day! read more

Fun Fact: the restaurant name means "Pieces of my Heart" - Three decades of restaurant experience centered in a cute, cozy, Italian restaurant in Sports Arena, opened earlier this year in 2025. I came here 10 minutes before the restaurant opened and the owner welcomed me and my friend in right away. With inside and outside options, we decided to sit outside on their patio to soak up a little breeze and San Diego sun. I love Italian food - the comfort of pasta, wine, friendly conversations and warm hospitality and this place hit those aspects. I loved that they have lunch specials, with generous portions. I got the Spaghetti and Meatballs and wow it did not disappoint. The dish came out hot, and spaghetti was perfect al dente. Marinara sauce was delicious - made with olive oil and basil on top. The meatballs are made with 100% angus beef and you can taste the quality - very tender. I also got to try the Orecchiette Con Slaccia - ear shaped pasta with Italian sausage, broccolini, tomatoes in a white wine cream sauce. WOW - just the perfect amount of cream - not too heavy and delightful to devour. Most of all, one of the owners - kept checking in on us and was just so sweet. He talked about the generations of cooking, love for Italian food, recipes.. I really hope this place gets more traction - come visit them and give them a try for delicious food with great hospitality. read more

Pezzi Del Mio Cuore - Lunch specials - Orecchietta Con Salsiccia and Spaghetti Con Polpette. Yummy ! - Italian Near Me - San Diego, California

My friend and I went there the evening before Thanksgiving and we had an absolutely fantastic meal. The servers were great. One server suggested a couple of the seafood items, but I was craving something other than seafood and he provided other suggestions, which were perfect. We ordered the cheese tortellini and the Orecchiette Con Slaccia. I don't know which one I enjoyed more, they were both delicious. I had a glass of the Meritage red blend and my friend had a glass of Chianti. They sang happy birthday to another party dining at the restaurant. It was really sweet. I highly recommend Pezzi Del Mio Cuore. read more

I decided to order takeout today. I worked from home pretty intensely and I was craving some type of comfort noodle that I didn't have to cook. Bucatini Primavera in white sauce (not cream) ($25 with tip) was what my little heart alit upon, and Pezzi Del Mio Cuore gave me a delicious piece of theirs in a delightfully fresh and light olive oil / garlic sauce. The perfectly cooked veggies were all of my favorites: broccoli, string beans, mushrooms, zucchini, and carrots. It was a very generously sized portion that I doused with red pepper flakes and parmigiana. It was really delish, and I enjoyed it. Service over the phone was efficient and it was equally so during pick up. One minor complaint is that some of the sauce escaped from the to go container - aluminum bottom and plastic cover - so the entire outside of the container & the bag became slick with olive oil during the short journey home. In the grand scheme of things, it was no biggie. I would consider Pezzi's decor to be eclectic modern, Lots of red accents, a cornucopia of different chandeliers and light fixtures, and warm wood furniture. It's not to my taste per se, but it is clear that it was done with intention & care, and it makes for a pleasant ambiance. This is a solid Italian Restaurant with attentive owners & staff, reasonable prices, and plenty of parking. It's easy to get to from the 8, 5 and if you're in the Loma Portal Area for an event at Pechanga Arena, a visit to Sea World, or just because, you'll be in for a good time. read more

Pezzi Del Mio Cuore - Bucatini Primavera with white sauce - Italian Near Me - San Diego, California

This place is an absolute gem, located in a nondescript strip mall just off the freeway in the confusing Sports Arena/Rosecrans area of Point Loma. Small, intimate, with friendly Italian staff, and the food is excellent. We only found it by accident, after the restaurant we'd planned to go to for our daughter's birthday was closed. I should add that both my daughters have been to Italy and said this was as close to authentic as you can get. I also loved the random and funky decor, including what looks like a hand-painted map of Italy, and several crystal chandeliers in a small space. Sorry I didn't take photos -- we were too busy having fun. read more

Very welcoming place. Our waitress Kimberley made our dinner experience enjoyable. She recommended a superb appetizer which was Calamari with Shrimp & Zucchini, also a delicious dipping sauce. We chose the Lobster Ravioli with asparagus & shrimp entree. My bday dessert was a decadent Chocolate Mousse cake . Superb service by Capresso throughout our evening. We can't wait to entertain friends at this lovely establishment. Highly recommended!! read more

If you want traditional homemade Italian cuisine this is your place. You will feel like family when you walk in the door. The service was amazing. The chef came and spoke to us to make sure we enjoyed our pasta. If I was local I would definitely return. Come hungry! read more

Stopped here during our staycation in San Diego with the kids. Every dish tasted so fresh and delicious. Highly recommend the lobster ravioli and the pesto pasta. Service was great and the staff was very friendly. Cute spot and highly recommend if you're looking for some good Italian food. read more

I looked this place up before we arrived to San Diego and we were not disappointed . This was one memorable dinner for all of us . The food , service and ambience was too perfect . Caprese was extra special . We're still talking about it . We felt like family here . We will definitely be back when we ever come back in town . It is a must now . The Christy Family read more

Nice little mom and pop Italian place in a strip mall. Wait staff is super nice. Menu has lots of choices at different price points. Easy parking. We came early so we got a table but it does fill up. Clean and comfortable but small. I had the mushroom ravioli. Delicious and good portion size. A little heavy but yummy. Calamari is also good. The pieces were tender and not chewy. Also had clams and mussels. They were fresh and well seasoned. It comes in a red tomato based broth. read more

Ordered through uber eats - it was alright. Nothing bad but not fantastic either. The rigatoni Amatriciana was ok - fairly average. It was a good amount of food and arrived very hot, but didn't stand out in terms of flavor, especially in the sauce. The meatballs tasted more like hamburger balls - felt they didn't have the texture and flavor that you'd want. The sauce they were in was good though. read more

We have enjoyed our dinners here. Fresh pastas are delicious. Salads are great. Very attentive and friendly staff. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Out of the 3 pastas we had, I liked the penne with funghi sauce. It's build your own kind. If you're a mushroom lover, this dish is what I would recommend. The gnocchi with burrata is decent - gnocchi i's soft and the sauce is like creamy marinara. I'm very picky with my carbonara so this is my opinion - spaghetti noodles could be aldente; sauce seems legit (not Alfredo sauce) but too much pancheta oil. Calamari is made of large squid rings, large tentacles, which makes the shrimp look small. Batter is light but not as crispy as I hoped for. read more

The delicious scent of garlic drew us in to this new gem! We had goals of grabbing something quickly to go watch the sunset and this place was both quick and incredible! The menu options were vast and the prices were very reasonable. For pastas made in-house I was very impressed! I loved that my Eggplant parm dish was filling enough to not require pasta with it. Of course I still had to try my friends' gnocchi and fettuccine dishes - all were *chef's kiss* amazing! I will most definitely be returning here to try the dining in house experience next time. There are so many things I saw that I want to try! The place was clean and had plenty of parking available out front. Win-win! read more

We were patiently waiting for this place to open because I love pasta! I was even more excited that I can walk to the restaurant! We walked in and there were a few patrons, but even before we walked in, a gentleman greeted us outside with the biggest smile and I knew it was going to be good! We had a table of five and decided to order several plates so we can try it all! Our server was Brian and he was so nice. He was very engaging and checked in on us to ensure everything was just right. He spent time talking to us and getting to know us, he wasn't rushed with the conversation and that type of service always goes a long way! For our appetizer we ordered the calamari and steamed calm dish. The calamari was so light and airy and fresh! I don't think I've tasted calamari that good! It also had zucchini which I think was sautéed and made the dish even better! And the marinara sauce..out of this world! The steamed clams were also good and very tasty, we devoured those appetizers. For our mains we ordered the Gnocchi Al Caoresse, Spaghetti Carbonara and the Oricchiette Con Salsiccia. The Gnocchi was so good and the sauce was so tasty. I've never had Oricchiette now that was good, but my favorite by far is the Spaghetti! A mouthful of flavor with every bite! We ended the night with dessert, we decided to order the tiramisu and Brian brought us an extra dessert on the house! I am not a fan of overly sweet and let me tell you those desserts were perfect! I personally don't like a menu with a lot of food items because I feel too many dishes takes away from the flavors, but Pezzi Del Mio Cuore may have just proved me wrong, you can tell that every single dish we had was made with passion..thank you chef! I will be going back to try more of the pastas! If you are in the area please stop by and support, this gem has it all, great food, great atmosphere and the service...out of this world! read more

A couple of brothers have opened "Pieces of My Heart" in the Midway Towne Center of Point Loma where some former South American eateries had operated in that space. Pezzi Del Mio Cuore Chophouse & Trattoria debuted less than two weeks ago in this lovely refurbished suite. The east side of this plaza has plentiful parking spaces in the shared lot. My guess was that approximately 50 customers could be seated in the dining area. The menus were printed on paper and featured a sheet of specials, a list of non-alcoholic drinks since they don't have their ABC license yet, and the regular food offerings. The last was a page containing salads, pasta (preset or build your own combo), secondi, antipasti, and desserts. It was late when I arrived on a weeknight, and most of the chairs had already been stacked up for the evening. The kitchen was still operating so I quickly selected the Cioppino from the secondi which were the meat and fish entrees. While waiting for my bowl to arrive, complimentary pieces of bread with a dish of balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil for dipping were provided. The Cioppino was a Mediterranean fish stew that contained calamari, clams, mussels, shrimp, and whitefish. Five pieces of bread were included and lined the perimeter of the serving vessel. For the $25 price, the amount of seafood was quite generous. The broth was seasoned well and flavorful. It filled me up enough that I asked for my dessert order to go. The Cassata Cake caught my attention as I have not seen this item before. It was a Sicilian shortcrust cake made with sweetened sheep's riccota cream topped with dark chocolate drops. The cake was certainly less sweet than the traditional Italian desserts on the menu (e.g. cannoli, panna cotta). The staff was even kind enough to add a piece of lemon flavored cheesecake in a separate takeout box. The cheesecake was dense and yummy as expected. I do hope the business can succeed as they have a public grand opening coming up on the 28th of this month. They may need to reevaluate their evening hours of operations especially on the earlier weekdays when not as many folks are dining out. My meal at Pezzi Del Mio Cuore was between a four and five star rating. read more

Really cute Italian restaurant tucked into strip mall in Point Loma. Food was very good although I wished just a bit more pop to flavors. Serving portions were ample and service was impeccable. The Funghi pasta (mushrooms in brandy cream sauce) was decent...there was a bit of fresh basil and I think another tablespoon or so would have made this dish perfect. My group also ordered the Bolognese which was delicious, Eggplant Parmesan which was perfectly cooked and flavorful and the Cioppino which was huge and loaded with fresh seafood. Beer menu is minimal but they do have an extensive Italian wine list. Loved the decor. Definitely a great addition to the area! read more

New restaurant! This will soon be the hot new Italian restaurant as soon as the word gets out! I came here with the family as was able to try an assortment of dishes. First was the bolognese sauce with Pappardelle sauce. Excellent flavor and good size portion. Next was the lasagna a la pesto. This is one of the best flavored lasagnas I have ever had and I learned after that it's a vegetarian dish. It was served very hot and smothered in pesto sauce. The chicken parm was a large portion. It was good. Solid. We also had the steak served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. A very large portion and excellent sauce. But the crowd favorite was the cheese tortellini with a creamy pesto sauce. Absolutely to die for! Service is good, the ambience is nice, it has a casual yet slightly upscale vibe. Parking is plentiful in the great Midway towns center. They don't yet have their liquor license, but they should in the next week or two. Highly recommend this place read more

Came here with my wife because we had a long day at Sea World and didn't want to drive too far. Food: 5/5 We had ordered the appetizer fried calamari, the squid ink Frutti de mare, and their special seafood linguine pasta with their vodka sauce. The portions were huge and enough to share. The free bread that was served with olive oil and vinegar was warm and delicious. The calamari came with a side of very hot and spicy marinara sauce to dip it in. The Frutti de Mare was covered with clams, mussels, squid, and shrimp. The noodles were very tender and the seafood was fresh. The seafood special was the highlight of our visit though. Huge portions of lobster, mussels, clams, squid, and shrimp with an amazing vodka sauce. Service: 5/5 From the second we arrived until the time we left, the service was attentive and friendly. They served us our appetizer promptly and asked us to let them know when we were done with the appetizer so that they would begin cooking the entrees. I LOVED THAT because we had time to enjoy our appetizer and have fresh entrees right after. Parking: 5/5 Came on a Tuesday evening and there were plenty of parking. Can't complain. Will definitely be back read more

GET IN HERE NOW! The best authentic Italian cuisine you can get! The staff is extremely friendly and very attentive! The food is delicious with lots of fresh flavors. The dessert, wow!
