We had an amazing experience at Roman Wolves! Ashlin was a fantastic server, and the entire team was warm, attentive, and lovely. They got us in and out quickly without ever making us feel rushed. The ambience is stylish and inviting--special, but never stuffy. The food was absolutely delicious, and it's the perfect place for a fun night out with friends, family, or a date. We can't wait to come back! read more

After spending several days eating amazing homemade pasta in Rome, we thought it would be interesting to see how this compares. The verdict: It's more like Roman-inspired cuisine. The food is solid, but nothing amazing. Where you will notice the difference is in the quality of the ingredients and the flavors. It's nice, but don't expect it to match what you ate in the Eternal City on your Roman holiday. The dishes are also quite pricey (ironically you can enjoy a much better meal in Rome for about 2/3 of the cost!) Then the bill comes - adding insult to injury. They add a mystery "IFL" charge to your bill of 4.9%. When asked they will tell you it's a mandatory city tax (which is not true). They also charged an extra $2 for one of our dishes. The waiter did take off the extra charge when I mentioned it and also removed the add-on item that was mis priced. This was appreciated. Overall: Its a nice place for a special occasion maybe, but the quality of the food doesn't justify the bill. The wait staff are attentive, but pay attention to your bill and don't be surprised when they tack on the 4.9% mystery charge. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego. Such a cute vibe and the pasta always tastes so fresh! Great service and friendly staff. Parking can be difficult in this area so plan ahead. The paccheri picanto al gamberi was delicious! read more

My wife and I originally had reservations elsewhere for our anniversary dinner, but seeing the reviews here, the menu, and photos, we made a very last minute decision to switch it up and come here instead and it was the BEST DECISION EVER. Everything about this place just could not have been more perfect. ** SERVICE / STAFF - 5 STARS - AMAZING! ** I'll start with the staff because great people deserve credit. We were very early to our reservations, but luckily there were available seats at the bar so we were seated there until our table was ready. The hosts were super welcoming and friendly. The bartender Dillon was super nice and made my wife a very good looking, carefully crafted cocktail. Our server Jason was honestly one of the best we've ever had anywhere. Like, elite lol. He was extremely friendly, attentive, funny, and very helpful with us trying to decide what to eat because everything on the menu sounded delicious. ** FOOD - 5 STARS - AMAZING! ** Fritto Misto - Very good, crispy, flavorful, large portion, and with great dipping sauces. Would definitely order this again. It comes with shrimp and calamari, however, I think I would have preferred to just have the calamari. Trio Bruschetta - LOVED THIS. One of the best appetizers ever. It came with 3 different toppings - (1) Tomatoes, parmigiano, garlic. (2) Ricotta, prosciutto, walnuts and honey. (3) Roasted artichoke and pesto. All three of them were insanely good. My favorite one was the ricotta and prosciutto! Lasagna - I was deciding between the lasagna or the crab ravioli and our server recommended I go with the lasagna and I'm so glad he did! Honestly, this was one of the best lasagna's I've had. As our server said, it was "MEATY". The Oxtail Ragu was amazing. Never have I had an Oxtail Ragu lasagna before, but it was epic. I highly recommend this to all lasagna lovers. Carbonara - My wife ordered this. She said it was good. I prefer a red sauce pasta, so I can't say much here, but it was a big portion for her and she enjoyed it. Desserts were very good. We had this cream puff type of thing. Honestly can't remember the name of it. It was almost like a whipped cream sandwich? Very fluffy and light. Simply delicious. The cannoli was amazing as well. ** AMBIENCE ** - Vibrant and energetic scene. Clearly everyone there was having a great time. It was exactly what we were looking for. NOTE - There is a 5% surcharge added to the bill for whatever reason. As annoying as this is, we did feel like the dining experience was pretty amazing and made up for it lol. I personally think that restaurants should just make their pricing inclusive of whatever other costs they need to cover and just do without these surcharges. read more

I love the decor here! I've been here twice now- once for happy hour and for an event so far. For happy hour, we shared the calamari and pinsa caprese, and also got a few drinks. I also had to get their cheese wheel pasta! The pinsa was really fresh and delicious. For our entree, we opted for the Filetto di Manzo, which is a grilled filet mignon. It was beautifully presented and beef was tender. The pasta was also flavorful. For dessert, I wanted to try the maritozzi, which was creamy and delicious. read more

My boyfriend and I had such a wonderful experience at Roman Wolves! From the hostess to the food runners, bussers, and our server, Luca. Every single person provided exceptional service and made us feel so welcome. If you're lucky enough to have Luca as your server, you're in great hands! He was attentive, kind, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. We started with the calamari, which was delicious, and the ribeye was cooked perfectly. I originally ordered the gnocchi vodka pasta, but it just wasn't for me--it was much cheesier than I expected, and I personally prefer a creamier pasta. I felt so bad because I've never sent a dish back before, but Luca made me feel completely comfortable and reassured me that it was absolutely okay. He quickly brought me the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken instead, and it came out so fast! It was incredibly creamy, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. The food was great, but the outstanding hospitality is what really made this experience unforgettable. We'll definitely be back, and we'll be asking for Luca again! read more

I was finally able to visit Roman wolves with a friend a couple weekends ago and boy was I impressed! It's a beautiful spot with many intimate and inviting spaces to dine. I arrived to find an incredible happy hour which is offered 4-6 pm Sunday -Thursday. There were many dishes to try and I wish we had a larger group so we could've tried them all. We chose the Roman margarita pinsa and the stuffed zucchini blossoms. Both were outstanding and more than enough for two people to share. Now on to the drinks... I ordered the Romantini (their espresso martini) and my friend ordered a Lucius spritz. Both were crafted with extreme care, tasted delicious, and were served with creative messages attached. The service was attentive, and we felt very welcomed and taken care of. Overall, we had a great weekend happy hour, and I am anxious to return. Thank you so much! read more

Stopped by in Little Italy while waiting for our friends to land at the airport and popped in for a quick happy hour. We tried the martinis, specialty cocktails, and a charcuterie board. The martinis were delicious, and the charcuterie board was abundant with a great selection--definitely one of the best I've had in Little Italy. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made our visit even better. The ambiance is modern, romantic, and elevated, making it a lovely spot to unwind.

Definitely get reservations as they are packed but they do have limited bar seating for first -come first- serve. The pasta is made fresh daily and you can taste the freshness, especially with the gnocchi which was my favorite dish of the evening. It has a delicious , cheesy vodka sauce and some zucchini mixed in too . Highly recommend . I also enjoyed the burrata, caesar and artichoke ravioli. The Caesar comes with anchovies on top but our server warned us and they kindly removed it per our request. I would definitely come back here again next time I'm in the area . read more

Che buono! We popped in one night for an impromptu dinner and were seated immediately. I got the Pappardelle Ragu di Roma while my friend went with the Spaghetti Carbonara. Everything was absolutely delish! The Pappardelle Ragu di Roma featured wide ribbon pasta, ground beef, and Italian sausage ragu. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was to die for! While I'm usually a red sauce gal, the Spaghetti Carbonara might have converted me. It was honestly some of the best Carbonara I've ever had. It was rich and creamy, yet not overly so. Oh! They also give you complimentary potato chips topped with parmesan and a white cream sauce. I've personally never seen this before! Being a savory snack fanatic, I absolutely loved these! read more

Roman Wolves - Fettuccine Alfredo - Italian Near Me - San Diego, California

We checked out Roman Wolves for Restaurant Week, they had a great menu with a good variety of options that we enjoyed. To start we got the Fritto Misto and Mozzarella in Carrozza. The highlight between those for me was the Mozzarella in Carrozza, it was a fun and taster twist on mozzarella sticks, I highly recommend. The Fritto Misto wasn't my favorite, so I personally would pass the next time we go, but it also may be a personal flavor preference. For our mains we had the Grilled Octopus and Spaghetti Carbonara. Again, the octopus wasn't my favorite based on the texture (I'm a big grilled octopus fan) but the flavors they went with were great and a nice twist. The start of the show was the Spaghetti Carbonara, it's the best I've had in the States and I highly recommend. The guanciale was thin and crispy, and the sauce was perfection. Finishing up we each had a slice of their Tiramisu and wow, it was delicious! Definitely a must if you saved room for dessert. read more

Best experience! The Ambiance, service and food were epic. I can't wait to go back again.

Dined at this spectacular establishment this evening and the service and food exceeded our expectations! Our appetizer was delicious artichoke hearts with breading which was full of flavor! The Arnold Palmer was the best and the whiskey sour was made with fresh sweet and sour, whiskey, egg whites and a Lucerne cherry (the way it should be made and presented! We enjoyed the cheese wheel special which was made table side, lobster ravioli and fettuccini! The staff was polite, kind and understood exactly how to make the customer feel at home! Last we ordered tiramisu and chocolate lava cake for dessert which never disappoints! Our sweet waiter even surprised us with a cannoli that was the prefect balance of sweet and the shell was flakey and not stale. Thank you for making our last meal on our vacation so special and exciting! I wish I would have taken pictures of everything but we just wanted to embrace the moments. read more

For pasta, Roman Wolves was a beautiful dinner party experience and very welcoming for our visiting friends. The hostess seated us in a nice, intimate booth of clamshell sofas and were patient when we took some time deciding (our group had staggered arrivals), and introduced the cheese wheel pasta and seafood special. The cheese wheel pasta is a good amount of food for sharing and during preparation here they bring the wheel to table side and you watch the Parmesan get torched and your pasta tossed. Seafood special was likewise just as hearty, the seafood not overcooked, and very tomato-rich. I enjoyed the Artichoke Ravioli- delicious, generously plated in pasta sauce. The pesto flavor they have is similar between the ravioli cream and the cheese wheel special. The texture of the shell is just right. Overall my friends and I are very happy we chose Roman Wolves and look forward to having more Italian in our rotation. Thank you to the staff for seamless service. read more

We chose this place for my celebration of ArtWalk weekend. It was Sunday night and it's pretty busy here. We love the atmosphere, and the service is really impressive, our waiter Kyle is very friendly, patient and sweet, we liked him a lot. We ordered some drinks, wine and cocktail. We had fried calamari as appetizer, a Caesar salad and a carbonara pasta. I have to say, the carbonara pasta probably the best I've ever had. The calamari and Caesar salad are nice as well, I'll recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a date night or some type of celebrations. read more

Service - had a reservation for 9 on a Saturday night and was seated right away. Kyle, our server, was great and super helpful and attentive throughout. Apps - ordered the calamari, oxtail meatballs and mozzarella in carrozza. Calamari was best I've had in a while, perfectly cooked with tasty and slightly smoky aioli. We wanted to get the zucchini blossoms but seemed pricey for the amount we'd get but we'll try it the next time. Drinks - every cocktail was great! Pornodivo had a prosecco shot on the side you could drink separate or mix in. Limoncello spritz, spicy marg, and espresso martini all good reviews at the table. Food - I ordered the seafood pasta special and loved how much it came with. Everything was fresh and for a large party the food came out fast too. Space - cute decor, dim lights for vibes. bar space, tables for small and big groups with one larger booth for probably 10ish at the end of the restaurant as well. read more

I was part of a party of four that had dinner reservations here on Friday, August 21st at 7:00 PM. I want to start by saying the food was absolutely amazing, and our server, Vincenzo, was exceptional. He was incredibly attentive, apologetic about the noise, and even comped us two desserts despite managing several very large parties. Unfortunately, our dining experience was deeply compromised by the environment. Directly behind us was a bachelorette party of 12 to 16 people. The noise level was excessively loud to the point of being obnoxious--we could barely hear each other and had to yell to have a basic conversation. More concerning was the highly distasteful behavior permitted in the main dining room. The party brought out adult novelty items/dildos at their table, took shots out of them, and at one point, a guest pretended to eat one off her plate. It was incredibly trashy and completely ruined the upscale atmosphere we expected from Roman Wolves. We had very high expectations for this restaurant. While the culinary team and Vincenzo did a flawless job, management needs to enforce basic decorum boundaries for large groups so it doesn't ruin the night for surrounding diners. We genuinely want to return for the food and a better overall experience, and hope management takes steps to handle these situations better in the future. read more

Tried this place and loved it! Pretty sure they are fairly new in the area. Food is delicious, service is great and the vibe inside is chill and elegant.

An incredible birthday dinner where I felt I was truly dining with the Romans, Roman Wolves deserves its hype! From the food, to the ambiance, to the service, everything was impeccable. They brought me a mini champagne flute for my birthday immediately once we were sat which was such a little treat. The cocktails were delicious if you like a sweet drink. The bread was herby and fresh with some fun and delicious dips to accompany it. The pasta were truly the star of the show though. Pillowy soft gnocchi with creamy vodka sauce had me loving every bite, and the incredibly rich and fresh parpadelle ragu had layers of flavor that were incredible. Just as we couldn't take another bite, they finished us off with a tiramisu on the house for my birthday which was light, flavorful, and a great way to end the night. Thank you Roman Wolves for a wonderful birthday dinner! read more

So we made a reservation for inside but it ended up being a so nice we asked to sit outside. The hostess sat us in a breezeway at the world's smallest table. We asked to move to a 4 top in a 85% empty restaurant and she really was unnerved by it. She eventually allowed us to move. They brought lovely chips with toppings to start. Crispy and not too salty. We started with drinks. My friend got the Remus. It was bright and refreshing. 10/10. I got the Romantini. It was perfection. They both came with little inspiring messages. Next we ordered the lamb lollipops. They were served with a arugula salad. The temperature was a little more than I normally eat lamb, but still juicy and delicious. We ordered the carbonara. Delicious and eggy, exactly how a carbonara should be. For the main we ordered the barazino. It's a dramatic plating and served with a large amount of bright veggies. We did find 2 stray pin bones so be careful. We ended with the tiramisu. It was not the best. Dry and the cream was very heavy. They had put a lot of cocoa powder on the top that made it feel even drier. Service was really good. Attentive but not overwhelming. The table settings were beautiful in their simplicity. They do have very poorly cared for plants bordering the patio which attracted lots of bugs. read more

So our Uber driver misunderstood which Italian restaurant we wanted and dropped us off at Roman Wolves so we decided to stay. Happiest of accidents. Our server Jason (with the ascot, lol), was seriously amazing. His recommendations were spot on for each of us and he was enormously entertaining. Everyone besides me opted for the chef's cheese wheel which turned out to be our party's favorite. I opted for the gnocchi with the pink vodka sauce and a mocktail Jason recommended which were fabulous as well. Appetizers were the truffle fries (amazing) with an order of calamari (equally good). Lastly we got a piece of the tiramisu, which was perfectly made and a nice end cap to the meal. Again, this place didn't even show up on Yelp when looking for Italian type food so I'm glad we were dropped off on accident. Also, props to Jason again. 5 start service. read more

Cheese wheel pasta tonight ROCKED MY WORLD, and I don't say that lightly!! Flavor changes nightly so call ahead and see if this one's available. SERVICE, completely on point! Thanks to Fabrizio, Eden, and Jason, couldn't have felt more welcomed. Pinsa was a surprise. Seeing it more and more now in America, but still difficult to find. It's so much better than pizza -you won't feel weighed down after eating. Was one of my favorites in Italy, and now it's here, in Little Italy...LOVE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD! Fiori di Zucca (squash blossoms) were stuffed with cheese, just like everywhere else around here, but these were on a pepper sauce that separates them from all the others. Yum! Polpette (ox meatballs) are great for meat lovers and anyone on Keto. Not as tender as beef meatballs at nearby restaurants, and didn't taste like ox, but at least it wasn't gamey. It's the one item I probably won't order again, but only because I'll want more room for pasta. Calamari was good but nothing to write home about. If you like calamari, order it. But it's really the cheese wheel pasta and pinsa that make this restaurant a destination. As for the ambiance, it's cozy, clean, and with quality decor -truly appreciate the heavy chairs that aren't easily tipped over. It's dimly lit at night, which makes it romantic, but the noise level makes it difficult to hear one another. Come on dates when you're not interested in conversing (wink wink), LOL. read more
