    Went here for a birthday! We love the singing waiters so much, it's such a good time. Food was good, our table got the spaghetti carbonara, spaghetti bolognese, fettuccine alfredo, and a seafood dish. My favorite of the night was the classic spaghetti. We also got the berry pannacotta which was good, I hadn't tried pannacotta before so that was a fun thing to try. And some limoncello to end the night, which was delicious and quite strong! I will say I do much prefer the sister location in south park to this one. Nothing went wrong, I think the south park location just does everything SO right and perfect, that coming to this one after was a little disappointing. To be clear nothing was bad. I think the recipes are different, the waiters were not as charming and personable as the crew over in south park. It was a busy night, perhaps we caught our server on a bad day...

    The seafood pasta was amazing -- rich flavor, perfectly cooked seafood, and the sauce was so good. The mussels, shrimp, clams, and calamari all tasted fresh, and the black pasta made the dish even better. Everything blended together perfectly without feeling too heavy. Definitely one of the better seafood pasta dishes I've had in San Diego.

    I have been here twice and have not been impressed either time. The food is over priced and always cold when it arrives. Nothing special or exceptional. The food is average and nothing out of the ordinary. The service is mixed. The head server has a lot of attitude. He had some issues about the reservation being made and cancelled but the restaurant was empty. The staff here always acts like they are doing you a favor by serving you. As stated, the restaurant was empty when we went but we were barely attended too. The dirty plates from our meal were piled up and never cleaned up. We got refills until a certain point and then no soda refills. Someone in our party had to find and serve themselves water. The ambience is nice -- roomy but you have to exit the restaurant to use the restrooms which is a little strange. I think I would have been happier at Cheesecake Factory. The food would have been hot , cost less and better service.

    I've never had a bad time coming here. The service was on point once again. Today went during lunch time and surprisingly it was not busy. Friday and Saturday are usually pretty packed. Enjoyed the dishes and they were willing to mix up the ingredients for my friends dishes.

    Polenta Con Agnello

    Piacere Mio (4S/Del Sur) has quickly become one of my go-to Italian spots. The food is consistently excellent, and the staff is always friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The restaurant atmosphere has always been warm and inviting. The soup of the day (Clam Chowder) was outstanding. Well-balanced, not starchy, not overly salty or peppery, and it actually had plenty of clams. My entrée was the Polenta Con Agnello (GF) where the lamb ragù is rich and flavorful and pairs perfectly with the polenta every time. They also have a really well thought out menu, and I keep meaning to branch out beyond my usual because everything I've tried so far has been so solid. Highly recommend.

    Saturday afternoon after a little trip to the nearby store we decided to stop by for a late lunch. The gentleman we were greeted by helped get us seated and took our orders. We ordered the Caesar salad, calamari, pesto fusilli, and seafood squid ink pasta to share. We also received a heaping portion of bread. Everything came out piping hot(just the way I like it) with the exception of salad of course. I liked that the calamari was battered very lightly and very crispy. My kids enjoyed the meal especially my oldest daughter. The service was great. Everyone was nice. We were in and out quickly. Food was hot and fresh. It's a win in my book. I'd definitely come back again to try other items!

    Nice place! Came here for my birthday dinner and we left happy! Food was great! The complimentary bread was delicious and the dipping oil that came with it was flavorful. The calamari was also really good, it also had shrimp and zucchini with it as well as it was phenomenal. Our entrees were also winners, my dad really enjoyed the lasagna and my squid ink pasta was great as well. The pasta was perfect and flavorful and the seafood was all really great and fresh. Service unfortunately was very slow, and it was not busy at all on a Thursday night. If service was more attentive it would have been a 5 star experience. I was not offered a desert for my birthday either, but another table near by did and they sang happy birthday to them. Overall great vibe and food but service made us feel unimportant.

    Nice atmosphere but absent service. We were promptly seated but with the doors opened during dinner service, flies quickly swarmed our table whenever food was present. It was definitely an unpleasant dining experience with having to constantly swat away flies. After our order was taken, our server was pretty much absent for the rest of the meal. He seemed to have been helping around the bar area for the most part. We started out with the calamari fritti ($19). It was thinly coated and nicely fried but had a strong, fishy smell. For entrees, we had the eggplant parmigiana ($23), petto di pollo limone & capperi ($24), and Michelangelo pizza ($23). The eggplant parmigiana was mediocre, nothing outstanding to note. The lemon chicken with pasta was a little too sour for my liking, and the noodles were harder than al dente, making it challenging to chew thoroughly. The pizza was topped with Prosciutto and shrimp, and it was good but not good enough for its price point. The server did say it was one of the most commonly ordered pizza, though. Overall, expensive meal for mediocre food.

    One of my best friend's and her family are moving. I wanted to take them for one last great meal before they left! Why not Piacere Del Sure? I practically lived at the South Park location when they first opened, and I had never been to this location, so why not? So glad we met up! Friendly hostess when we arrived! Really friendly server after we sat down! The interior is very warm and inviting! We decided on the patio since the weather was nice. Great space that's also dog friendly, so maybe Cako can come next time! The menu is different from South Park, since they have a pizza oven, but they also have the familiar dishes as well. Since we were early, we had two very delicious espresso martinis! As soon as Liz came, we ordered a bottle of prosecco to celebrate their new adventure! We started with the calamari, the artichoke hearts, bruschetta, and the fried brie alla milanese...which was soooooo good! We all ordered something different. I had one of my go tos, spaghetti carbonara....so good! The lasagna bolognese was a winner, as was the mushroom ravioli and orecchiette with gluten free pasta. We ended the evening with a cannoli and the caprese al cioccolato. Everything came out in a timely manner and again, sooooooo good! Our server was great! I can't remember his name, but everyone on the staff was friendly. We had a reservation for 4:30 but as the evening progressed, it was getting busy. I do suggest making a reservation. Looking forward to coming back!

    Great food, wine and best service. We had a date night and wanted some Italian so we stopped in, asked to sit at the bar. Service was awesome, many restaurants forget about the people at the bar, but we were treated with special attention.

    Fontana pizza - quite tasty, cooked perfectly!
    Amy D.

    I really don't want to post this review, but I have been to this restaurant 2x and each time there is a major problem. This trip, we ordered the Pappardelle Con Agnello ($24.50). Large flat pasta noodles tossed with slowly cooked lamb ragu. Pasta came out hard! I am not taking al dente, it was out right not cooked. It's so disappointing to see them serve such flavorful pizza and other dishes and yet the pasta is a complete fail. Pizza was great, fortunately. Not recommending. Just being honest.

    Funghi (mushroom) sauce over gluten free pasta
    Kay C.

    This is certainly a go-to for good Italian food in 4s Ranch/ Del Sur area. I have been to both locations (4s Ranch/ Del Sur and South Park) and food is solid and will not disappoint. For lunch, we enjoyed a clam chowder (full of clams), Polenta Con Agnello (polenta with red meat sauce) and gluten free pasta with Funghi (mushroom) sauce. We were also given complimentary bread with olive oil and herbs. Everything was tasty. You can choose to sit inside or at covered patio.

    Piacera Mio is a solid, friendly neighborhood Italian eatery that delivers warm, hearty comfort food. The Food & Drink: * Pizza: The wood-fired pizzas are the staple here. Highly recommended. * Pasta: Tasty and reliable. * Wine Tip: Check the rotating weekly red and white specials. These are often great choices - a nice Brunello and Amarone were on the list over the past few weeks (great values). SERVICE: The service is professional and welcoming. If you are celebrating a birthday, hope that you get the gentleman with the enormous, cheerful singing voice - he will make your day :) OVERALL: A great choice for a casual, happy Italian dinner.

The service is always prompt and the feel of the restaurant feels modern yet casual enough where it's not stuffy, perfect for just hanging out with friends or family. In this round, I got to try their special, Spaghetti Alla Gricia which features a Pecorino and black pepper cream sauce with Guanciale (pork cheeks). Absolutely delicious, balanced flavors with perfectly cooked pasta (as always)!

We got these items (I went a while ago so the prices might not be as accurate if I listed): 1. FIORI DI ZUCCA RIPIENI- this was a fried zucchini blossom and honestly my favorite item that we had gotten here. It is lightly battered and has a nice cheese filling. The tomato aioli was my favorite part and I could honestly dip bread in it all the time. I would come back here just for these. 2. INSALATA CESARE - This caesar salad was pretty good and had a huge parmesan crisp. The salad was fresh and paired well with our pastas. 3. Cheesewheel pasta - I thought this was a pretty interesting concept and the cheesewheel pasta was rich but very delicious. 4. TAGLIATELLE AL NERO DI SEPPIA - The concept of a squid ink pasta is pretty cool. This wasn't bad but just not my favorite. Overall it was a really fun experience and the food was pretty good. It is a bit pricey and parking can be a bit hard in downtown. The staff here was friendly and quick with our order. The restaurant inside is quite nice and has a nice view of Little Italy.

I also had a Pinot Grigio that was one of the best wines I've had in a long time. Overall, the food and drinks were the strongest parts of the meal and left a positive impression. The service was just okay. Would I come back? I'm honestly not sure, but I'd definitely be tempted by that carbonara and wine.

We ordered a little bit of everything, including appetizers, pizzas, and pasta. What surprised me most was how light everything tasted. The brightness and freshness of the dishes really made the overall experience stand out. Our favorite dishes at the table were the Nicola and Juna pizzas, along with the gnocchi carbonara. By the way, this is a fork and knife place for everything. This place is definitely a carb overload, but absolutely worth it. Come for the classics, stay for the vibes :)

We asked if there were any tables available inside and were told no because they were being saved for other guests, even though there were empty tables for two. It was a bit chilly and windy outside, and we weren't the only ones asking to sit inside. I even watched one of the indoor tables get up and leave shortly after, which made the whole situation even more frustrating. That already left a bad impression, but we decided to stay and give the food a chance. Stinco Di Agnello: 4.5/10 The portion size was great and the dish looked delicious when it came out, but that was about the only positive. The lamb shank was overcooked, a little dry, and lacked the rich flavor you'd expect. Even the sauce couldn't save it. The pasta had a grainy texture, and the mushroom sauce was so weak that you could barely taste it. On top of that, the plate was too small, so the lamb sauce kept mixing into the mushroom sauce and completely threw off the dish. Saltimbocca Alla Romana: 3/10 This was honestly unacceptable. We specifically ordered the steak medium rare, and it came out well done. That's not a small mistake. It's one of the most basic things to get right. We didn't send it back because we didn't want to sit there waiting for another entree or waste the food, but it was tough, dry, and not enjoyable to eat at all. The sauce was bland and added nothing to the dish. The potatoes were the only thing worth eating. They also only serve wine and beer, so don't expect cocktails. The only reason this review isn't even lower is because our server was kind, attentive, and did a great job. I've given this restaurant multiple chances over the years, and every visit has been disappointing in one way or another. The ambiance wasn't great either. Between being seated outside in the cold, the noise, and the overall atmosphere, it definitely didn't feel like a place I'd choose for a date night. At this point, I can't justify coming back. There are far too many great Italian restaurants around to spend your money on food that is consistently underwhelming and poorly executed. Food: 3/10 Service: 8.5/10

So nice views into the park too. Josh was our server and he was super nice! I started with the pope's delight cocktail. It's listed online as "aged rum + amaro romana + salted cantaloupe olio + lime, $17." But they had decided to add a proscuitto crisp and make it $21. I didn't want the proscuitto so that was a little annoying. But it was a tasty little cocktail. Bread: it's amazing here. They change exactly how they do it from time to time - this version was so yummy and with great butter. App: I got the burrata + pluot | cherry tomato + arugula + almond + coriander + mint + toast appetizer. Very yummy! Huge also. I took half of it home. Definitely recommend. Entree: I always like when the corn agnolotti comes on the menu, but it changes each year. This version was pretty good - I think my pasta was just a tad undercooked, not quite al dente on the parts of the agnolotti on the edges (not the pillows holding the filling). Still good though. Also, if you're going to the theater, do you know they have a FREE shuttle that takes you to the Old Globe and back? We decided to walk there after dinner (easy, pretty) but take the shuttle back after the show. So easy! And then I ordered takeout dessert from Josh. Overall, a super meal and great vibes. Looking forward to coming back soon!
