    My son and I were craving pizza after a fun-filled day at Legoland. However, my family and I weren't in the mood for pizza. Fortunately, I found a place that sold pizza slices, which was a great option for us. I ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza for my son, and it was ready in a few minutes. The woman assisting us informed us that she was about to close, but she graciously took our order anyway. I appreciate that she lets us order. This place is more of an order your food and take it home to eat. They do, however, have a small table if you decide to eat there.

    Amazing service and pizza because it is very amazing and I love the culture and the pizza was pepperoni and very nicely cooked and it was beautiful to be quite frank

    Pepperoni pizza and veggie supreme.
    Jackey N.

    Great customer service. It was my first time coming here. As a newbie, I like to ask a lot of questions and he was really responsive and helpful with the choices. The pizza slices are huge and it's so good. Not so salty. I'll be back to try other pizzas and subs. You buy 2 slices, you get a free drink.

    Nothin but crumbs

    TOP TIER sub spot in SD! Just finished my chipotle turkey sub and was mad I didn't get anything else! So good, great service, can't wait to come back!

    Hawaiian!
    Darryl C.

    So we have had the Hawaiian twice, pepperoni once, and cheese twice! All delish and filling! The Hawaiian is so checked full of pineapple and ham that you are tasting each with every bite! The cheese is stellar and my son thinks it's the best! Can't go wrong with kids thumbs up! Pepperoni was good but a touch more spicy than what you typically find for pepperoni on pizza. Did that stop my son from trying? No! Still ate the whole slice!

    Garlic Parmesan Knots

    This pizza is sooo good. Slices are really huge! Have had it many times and it never disappoints! The garlic knots are super tasty as well!

Unfortunately, the service was pretty rough. My husband ordered a gluten-free pizza, and after we had been waiting quite a while, we asked if it was ready. We then watched the employee ask the cook about it, and it was pretty obvious from his reaction that he had forgotten it in the oven. He rushed to pull it out, and we could smell that it was burnt from where we were standing. They boxed it up and gave it to us without acknowledging what happened or offering to remake it. There were also several smaller mistakes. We had said our order was to go, but my individual slices were served on a paper plate, and when I reminded them, they just put another plate on top and bagged it. I also ordered a side of marinara that was forgotten completely. When we asked for extra plates, the response felt almost annoyed, like we were inconveniencing them. The staff was helpful enough, but the overall attitude felt abrupt and a little unfriendly. It's unfortunate because my pizza was actually really good, and the prices were great. I could see myself liking the food here, but the service and burnt gluten-free pizza made the overall experience disappointing. :::

It was an experience…read more We sat tucked away in a little corner that honestly felt like we were having dinner in someone's grandmother's house, and I mean that in the BEST way possible. Cozy, warm, intimate and welcoming. And the FOOD?! I was convinced somebody's Italian grandmother had to be downstairs hand making that pasta because there was no other explanation. I had the lobster ravioli and started with the bruschetta tostada. Everything was absolutely chef's kiss. Fresh, flavorful and tasted like it was made with love. But what made the experience even better was our waiter, Mauricio! He was simply amazing. He genuinely took care of us, shared the story of the restaurant and talked about how much he enjoyed working there. And you could tell. It showed in the way he treated us and the attention he gave throughout the entire meal. Great food is one thing. Great food paired with genuine hospitality is something completely different. I will DEFINITELY be back the next time I'm in San Diego. If you're looking for homemade pasta, amazing food and that warm family feel, put this place on your list. You will not be disappointed.

Our grandkids order spaghetti and meatballs shared with their mom. We ordered the mixed appys plate which was very tasty and then my husband & I shared the eggplant parmigiana..delicious! Unfortunate, our son ordered the special which was a version of the Osco Bucco. It arrived with the meat still frozen. By the time it was redone, everyone had finished so he took a few bites and packaged it to go. I felt his experience was disappointing.

After a long day at the beach, we ordered a bottle of wine, and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't ridiculously overpriced. Sitting outside, enjoying a glass of wine and watching Little Italy come alive was exactly what we needed. Our server was exceptional. The service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. But let's talk about the food... The food was AMAZING. We ordered several different things, and everything we tried was delicious, but the pappardelle with short ribs was the standout. The pasta was absolutely fantastic--rich, comforting, and exactly the kind of Italian comfort food you want at the end of a long day. And then there was the dessert case... Oh. My. Goodness. Everything in that case looked like it was personally designed to make you regret saying, "No, we're too full for dessert." Nonna was exactly what we were hoping for that evening: great food, great service, a beautiful Little Italy setting, and a relaxed atmosphere where we could sit outside and enjoy ourselves. I can't wait to go back and eat some more Italian comfort food--and next time, I'm getting the tiramisu.

It was a Friday evening and every restaurant on the street was full and vibrant. You could Yelp these places all day long and it would be hard to choose. There's so many great restaurants around Little Italy. Mimmo's reached out and called us in. There were pretty white tablecloths, the hostess was smiling ready to answer any questions and of course, the menu looked wonderful. Voilà! We'd found our spot. Our waiter was so personable and had all the answers to our inquiries. He suggested items and even answered honestly when needed. I got a Le Pécora Nera Sangria (fizzy blackberry with lemon). Tasty, but too many blackberry seeds coming up the straw. I'd get another one next time. For the appetizers: RISOTTO ARANCINI (a MUST get) - these were absolutely delicious. Four good size bread crumbed fried balls of risotto sitting in the restaurant's own tomato gravy. HOMEMADE FOCACCIA WITH DIPPING OIL (yes, that's the official name) - this is a basket of super soft, warm focaccia bread for a great price. I would get it no matter what main course you're getting! It soaks up every sauce and it's just delicious. MAIN: BAKED LASAGNA (meat) - with the two appetizers this is the perfect size for both of us. No need to get one per person! It was absolutely wonderful. I would get it again. All in all, I'd definitely go back. The food was absolutely delicious and flavorful and the employees we came in contact with were great as well. We didn't want to sit at a table right next to the hundreds of people walking by, I don't like that, but there are plenty other options one row in or inside the restaurant. A solid recommendation on my part.
