The 38 Best Restaurants in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"Having just celebrated its six-year anniversary, this vibey neighborhood trattoria in Point Loma charms with Roman romance and hospitality. From the lush vines and flowers trailing down the trellis in the cozy outdoor patio to the indoor dining area with rose-colored booths, bistro tables, and casual bar counter, it is ideal for a refreshing apertif or solo dining. The restaurant features an inventive menu showcasing pastas like pappardelle and ravioli, along with robust vegan and gluten-free options. A must-try is the popular cremini sauce, made with shitake and porcini mushroom sauce, on a pasta shape of your choosing. Don’t skip the tableside tiramisu, made with house-made ladyfingers, no matter how full you think you are. Know before you go: If you can’t get a table, head down the street about a mile away to their sister restaurant, Elvira. The casual hideaway also has house-made pastas along with wood-fired pizzas." - Candice Woo
