"Italian-born executive chef Cesarina Mezzoni presides over the weekly-changing menus at this indoor-outdoor trattoria also on the Point Loma–Ocean Beach border. Open daily for lunch and dinner, and brunch on the weekends, the fresh pasta (of which there are 10 shapes to mix and match with sauces and toppings) are handmade to perfection. Dish highlights range from a crispy octopus antipasto and whole grilled branzino to cannoli piped with filling tableside." - Keri Bridgwater
