"Little Italy’s Civico 1845 does lots of Calabrian pasta dishes, but the highlight here is a full menu of vegan options. Spaghetto Italiano, for example, is dressed in basil pesto, confit tomatoes, and almond ricotta, while an order of fettuccine ragu gets made with wild mushrooms and walnuts. When you add in an extensive wine-by-the-glass list, a dedicated Aperol spritz menu, and its selection of digestifs, Civico makes for a chill date night or catch-up spot in one of San Diego’s busiest neighborhoods." - ligaya malones
