The Red Door

The food was great, the ambience was good with live music, and the service great. The chef comes to all tables which is a nice touch. I definitely will be coming back. This area (Mission Hills) is chill and there's plenty of street parking and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. Not as busy as Hillcrest or North Park. Saw some guys fighting at North Park outside bar.. you won't get that at Mission Hills...

Popped into this little gem at 6 on a Saturday night with no reservation and they were fully booked but the sweet staff were able to accommodate us at a high top looking out the window which was perfect. The bartender covered our table and was super attentive the entire meal which was absolutely delicious. Fresh pasta cooked perfectly. The seafood pasta had a ton of mussels and clams and the chicken parm was divine. I will definitely visit this spot again next time I’m in town!

Let me tell you yes you have to come here! This place is worth it and trust me when I tell you that I am picky and understand that if I am paying for food and is higher in price I expect it to taste amazing! Which it did my friend and I ordered the chefs special. Which was recommended and we were even told about how we could split it since it was a lot of food. The waiter was great he was sweet and attentive. The chef came out and greeted everyone such a 5 star experience. The chef cares and wants you to have a great experience we will be back!!

I was expecting a decent experience at an upscale resturant, what we got was an unforgettable night with incredible people, food, and ambiance to celebrate a now even more so, memorable birthday. Luciano the owner and chef, greeted us at the door right before our reservation. Took a picture with my fiancé when I was attempting to film content 😅😂 He treated our first interaction as if he was welcoming us into his home, so we were already so amazed by his hospitality and charisma. Upon the rest of our party's arrival they moved us to the bar, so we could enjoy the live music next door and disco ball! They cleared a table for us so we could enjoy the jazz music and amazing food. Our server jessie, bartender che', and the musician rick harris were also such a joy. From Jessie being attentive, che making the absolute perfect espresso martini, and Rick singing Aretha Franklin and other jazz hits; and Luciano consistently asking us between each course how we enjoyed everything. The night was one to remember for sure! Considering we had just visited Italy in March, The red door made us feel like we were in middle of Milano again. I have nothing but positive things to say about this resturant and the people who curated our experience here! Do yourself a favor and experience this place for yourself, we'll definitely be back!

Delish! Enjoyed a business dinner at The Red Door. It was a cozy little restaurant; it would be a great date night. I enjoyed the special of crispy seabass over basil risotto. It was so tasty! The skin on the fish was perfectly crispy and the flesh was tender. My colleagues enjoyed their meals too. Service was outstanding. Would recommend!

Positives and Negatives things to say.Great service and delicious cocktails. The pappardelle was the best I’ve ever had, and the flatbread was really good too. However, the calamari was a disaster, soggy, chewy, the tiniest portion I have ever seen, and overpriced. ( the kale was good, but I didn’t ask for a kale appetizer). I’d return for the pasta and drinks but would never order the calamari again. They should remove it from the menu and spare the costumers this horrible calamari experience.

We went there because we missed a great Beef Wellington. It was spot on. Out server was friendly and made some excellent suggestions for apps and sides. We enjoyed meeting the Chef/Owner. Nice place, not too noisy. We'll be back to try other menu mains.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Where do I even begin?! Jacob (I hope I got his name right!) was our server and did an outstanding job. We had the following dishes, which were all DELECTABLE: the arugula salad, the seafood fettuccini, lobster ravioli, fresh sea bass over basil risotto, and the free range chicken. The portions were HUGE and the food was served hot and seasoned to perfection. Truly one of the best meals I’ve had EVER; I’m so glad I chose this for my birthday dinner. For dessert we had the banana cream pie and the chocolate lava cake. We were also treated to the truffles (melted like BUTTER), the amazing vanilla gelato and the toffee bread. I can’t say enough about this dining experience other than everything was top notch! This will be a MUST on our return visits to San Diego!

Tldr; Absolute perfection. 5/5. Should be 6/5. Stop what you're doing and make a reservation asap We've eaten here many times so this review is based on multiple experiences Food: *chefs kiss* Luciano & his crew absolutely nail everything they cook. We've tried almost the entire menu and not one dish was less than perfection. It's so clear how much they care about putting out world class Italian. Luciano is an absolute legend. Service: Much like their food, their service is impeccable. They pass "the water test" with flying colors (never wanting for water). They make sure you're comfortable and can get what you want. I remember being bummed they were a pepsi shop and magically a cocacola showed up. They are professionals that really care about the guest experience. Even Luciano comes out from the kitchen every now and then to interact with guests and get feedback on his food Ambiance: Such a gem. It is quaint (although they do have the bar side), but they do a good job of maximizing space without making you feel cramped. You feel like you're in their home eating a home cooked meal.

Red Door delivered an incredible dining experience from start to finish. I had the Chateaubriand paired with a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and everything was exceptional. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the service couldn't have been better. What truly stood out was the personal touch. The chef came by our table more than once to check in which made the evening feel even more special. The Chateaubriand was a showstopper. Presented beautifully over a bed of arugula salad with a rich demi glace and perfectly cooked potatoes it was truly a work of art and one of the best I've ever had. Every bite was perfectly balanced flavorful and memorable. I will absolutely be back. Red Door has earned a permanent spot on my favorites list.

I wanted magic. I got microwave. Family flew in from the East Coast to celebrate a double graduation. One college, one high school. Proud moment, big energy, and a perfect excuse to book a table at what I thought was a San Diego gem. We ordered five apps and a spread of entrées, including the pappardelle ragu, beef wellington, lobster ravioli, and the surf and turf special. The appetizers were fine. Not inedible. Just sad. We chalked it up to a busy Saturday night and kept smiling. The mains? Worse. The pappardelle was salty and soupy, with a Chef Boyardee vibe, which is fine if paired with a Capri Sun and not a $20 cocktail. The Wellington looked deflated, literally - like it had been stepped on. The risotto was gummy. The steak, ordered medium rare, arrived gray and overcooked all the way through. Like leather. Like well beyond well done. We debated sending it back. I wanted to just let it go, but my family pushed. I gave in. It took twenty minutes just to flag down our server. To his credit, he agreed that the steak looked nothing like medium rare. He took the plate away. That would be the last we saw of it. No replacement came. They took a third off that dish. We didn't argue. We just wanted to leave. What stings most is that I really wanted to love this place. I had been excited. I had read the reviews. We had made the reservation weeks in advance and even planned our orders ahead of time. We arrived full of anticipation and left full of disappointment. Maybe we caught a bad night. But for $500, bad nights shouldn't be on the menu. Not coming back.

Farm to table fresh with the taste to back it. Fantastic food, you can taste just how fresh everything is. The beef Wellington was everything I hoped for. Perfectly cooked with perfect portions. the service was quick and staff were knowledgeable on everything. They have lots of daily specials! Ambience was relaxed and quiet. Perfect for date night.

The perfect last meal of 2024! I've passed The Red Door many times, located in one of my favorite neighborhoods, Mission Hills, and have always wanted to give it a try. Known for having a romantic and warm atmosphere with delicious Italian inspired cuisine, I was so glad a friend suggested it for our final meal of the year. We arrived for our 8:15am reservation and were seated in the center of the dining room. The Red Door has a very intimate environment. The lighting is low and the space feels warm and comfortable. Chef and Owner Luciano may contribute to this as he isn't shy about greeting guests and welcoming them into his restaurant home. We brought our own bottle to dinner and they charge a $30 corkage fee. They also have a great selection of drinks including a full bar. They had a special holiday menu available and the four of us shared a variety of entrees to get a taste of multiple different mains. Beef Wellington - A staple that is traditionally on their regular menu. The beef was cooked to perfection and was very soft. I'm not usually a steak person, but I enjoyed the beef wellington because of how tender it was. The veggies it was paired with were perfect as well. Spiny Lobster with Pappardelle - What a statement! We saw a table order some of the lobsters before us and were stunned by the large shells. My friend we were dining with noted that they must be local as they didn't have the traditional claws of an East Coast lobster, but instead, came in a spiny shell. The lobster was cut so that we could easily access the meat. While the lobster was the star of the show, I thoroughly enjoyed the pappardelle it was placed on top. Truffle Gnocchi - Our favorite dish! The creamy gnocchi was perfect and pillowy and we got a generous serving of truffles on top. Chef Luciano took over to shave the truffles, even adding some to our lobster pappardelle. He was incredibly generous and it felt like good luck going into the new year. We had a lovely meal. I looked down at my watch and an hour and a half flew by in no time. That's how you know you're in good company with good food. I look forward to coming back to this special neighborhood spot.

Wonderful experience! I'm not usually a review writer but I couldn't resist writing one for such an exceptional dining experience. I've eaten at a lot of fine dining restaurants around the world and can say that this little restaurant can, not only stand with, but stands above many of them. Beef Wellington was one of the best I've had. Hells kitchen was good but this was better. The risotto's taste and creamy texture is something you would find in Italy and let's not forget about the sticky toffee pudding, lava cake and tiramisu (all made in house). It isn't surprising that the chef/owner is from Italy and came out several times to talk to us during the meal. He wasn't pushy or pretentious but was personable, such a delight and full of information. They recently opened up an adjacent bar that has live music as well.

The BEST Italian restaurant in San Diego. The owner is straight from Milan and the quality takes me back to italia. Exceptional service and live entertainment on select nights. We ordered the Seafood fettuccine, Pappardelle, Beets and burrata. ALL AMAZING!

When we arrived we we were told we were seated in the bar area next door. Not overly thrilled as that was not the plan. As it turned out, though, it was delightful and glad we were there. The calamari / kale appetizer was great and not so great at the same time. The calamari was most excellent. The kale, however, left a lot to be desired. It was more like kale dust and was very hard to eat. Not pleasant. Calamari 5-Star. Kale 1-Star. I ordered the lamb shank with risotto and it was a ten out of ten. Lamb fell off the bone and was a perfect temperature. The chicken parm was a 9 out of 10. Portions sizes were good and the price point seemed high but in the end both dishes were amazing. Since we we're in the bar it would have been nice to have the wooden tables that felt a bit sticky covered with something. A 9 out of 10 night. Service was good and the chef came out to talk to us. Go. Enjoy. It's a great place.

Nicholas is an excellent restaurantur the parking is iffy. The Beef Wellington, was well prepared and presented. The clams, meh. I shall be more than happy 2 return.

Guys I can't say more lovely things about this place! My husband and I have seen this place a few times but decided to check it out Friday right at opening. First of all the service is extraordinary. Everyone was so helpful and lovely. The owner and chef even came over during dinner to check on us. You can tell everything done here is done with pride and great care. That alone earned this place a 5/5 but the food was just the best. We started off with their butternut brie and the flatbread (it was a special that night and had porchetta). The brie was super flavorful and I highly recommend the flatbread for large parties as it is HUGE. You could also smell it before you even saw it - they really do use really fresh ingredients here. Then we had the meat lovers Mac n cheese and the pappardelle. The Mac n cheese sauce was fantastic but guys the pappardelle was PHENOMENAL. The homemade pasta was cooked to absolute perfection and I could literally be buried in the sauce and would die happy. For a big brain move make sure to get something with bread for the entree to soak up the extra sauce. Then we ended the night with the sticky toffee pudding. This may be the best dessert I've ever had. Sincerely. Again, homemade. All the desserts are homemade and when we spoke to the chef to ask what his favorite was he said as he makes them all by hand that would be like picking his favorite child. All this means is we have to come back and try the rest of them (and their beef Wellington!). Will absolutely be back to try everything else on the menu. But definitely get a reservation. We went during opening but this place gets very busy as the night goes on. Parking wise is street but it wasn't too bad at 5pm on a Friday. Come early just in case.

Went there on a Saturday night. A smaller corner restaurant, cozy with full bar service. The last time I went there was several years before covid and they've had a change in ownership and chef. Service was friendly, quick, and skilled. We started with a flatbread because we were starving, and when I saw the portions coming out of the kitchen (huge) I was worried I made a mistake. But I am so glad I did, it was a pesto and sausage flatbread that was so flavorful if I didn't know different, I would have thought they made the pesto to order, as I could really taste the basil in each bite. Then the main came, and I had the lamb with risotto - and it delivered. My friend had the fish of the day, which was caught in San Diego and was absolutely delicious. I was extremely happy with my meal and I will return. The martinis were good as well. If you're on the fence on this place, I really recommend giving it a shot!

We had a relaxing Sunday dinner here. The place is charming with soothing jazz music playing in the background. We started off with calamari and kale. And also tried the mussels. For my entree, I had the risotto with seared ahi tuna. For dessert, it was the ricotta cheesecake. For drinks, I had the RB spritzer and carajillo. I enjoyed every bite. The food was fresh and delicious. The serving sizes were generous and I took leftovers home. This was the first time trying a carajillo which was an after dinner coffee cocktail that is less boozy than an espresso martini. I loved this drink. Service was excellent. Our waiter, Kevin, was friendly and attentive. The chef stopped by our table and acknowledged us. We definitely want to return to try more of their great menu.

Absolutely incredible restaurant. Honestly some of the best food I've ever eaten. I had the flatbread and the chicken Parmesan and both were not only outrageously delicious, but also very generous portions! The service was excellent and the ambiance was nice. My only issues were that I personally wish there was a little more room between the tables, as it feels like a private conversation would be impossible due to the size of the restaurant, but I know that's not necessarily a problem for many people, so I don't consider it a negative, or the fault of the restaurant. It's just a different vibe. Secondarily, parking was a real hassle, but that's also not the fault of the restaurant. Just something to consider when planning. All in all, I was very impressed and would love to visit again sometime.

My favorite date night venue. The atmosphere is amazing. Fine Dining without the extra dressing up. There are 2 seating areas but my favorite is the live music side. We ordered calamari to start. This is hands down the best calamari i have ever came across. The creamy chipotle sauce throws it over the top. The Lobster Ravioli is exceptional and the Beef Wellington lives up to the hype. Our waitress was very helpful and extra attentive to our meal. Overall a beautiful place that i will frequent for a long time.

We just celebrated my daughter's Milan's birthday at The Red Door and what an amazing experience! From the intimate seating and ambience, to the attentiveness of our server Kevin, to the delicious food, the whole evening was fantastic. What made it even more memorable was when Chef Cibelli came to our table to meet Milan (he is Milanese!) and chat with our family. He shared stories about the origins of the Beef Welllington and the Sticky Toffee Pudding (we're English and can say that both were top notch!) and made us feel like we were being welcomed into his home. We can't wait to go back again and would give The Red Door 10 stars if we could!!! Thank you to everyone at The Red Door!

Absolutely phenomenal, every single thing about this restaurant! I came for dinner with one of my friends who had previously been and absolutely loved it. The setting is very lovely and intimate. Service is phenomenal, nothing is rushed and everything feels very deliberate. They have a wonderful wine selection as well. We tried several items from the menu and everything was spectacular. I especially loved the dessert...we had the molten chocolate cake as well as banana cream pie, they were both phenomenal. The chef came out and took the time to stop at each table and talk with us, which I thought was so unique and lovely. This restaurant is perfect for nights out with family, friends, or romantic date. Parking can be a little bit tough in the Mission Hills area. We parked on a residential street, but it was not very far walk to the restaurant. I highly recommend the spot, I will certainly be returning.

Came here for Valentine's weekend. Nice place. Very busy. Very friendly staff. Very helpful with the menu. Got the lobster risotto and the beef Wellington. The lobster risotto was really good. Very flavorful. The beef Wellington was very easy to eat. The crust was nice and the meat was medium-rare. The sauce complimented the Wellington very well. The tiramisu was very good. One of the better one's I've had. I'm already looking at items to get when I come back.

Cute little restaurant in Hillcrest. The service and food was good. We went for happy hour and there was hardly anyone there. The price for a bottle of wine is no different than just ordering individual glasses, which was a surprise. Food came out pretty quickly.

The chief is absolutely amazing and the Chilean Seabass is second to none! This restaurant was a great Mother's Day surprise

My partner and I have been here a few times now, and I have to say the food is always great. My partner typically orders the Chicken Parmesan and I love the Lamb Shank. The serving sizes are hearty and the service we had was great. Would recommend this place for a special occasion. Overall charming atmospher only downside is that the music sound system was not working that day.

Food was amazing. Owner is also the chef, he was really nice, came and introduced himself, and brought out the food and asked what we thought of it.

Great Italian food. Live music. Service is very attentive. We were seated in the bar section of the restaurant which is separated from the main restaurant. It appears like two separate places with entirely different entrances. My family and I did not realize this when making the reservation (they did mention though). We sat in the bar section which had a club-like ambiance, was dimly lit and rather small. In hindsight, I would recommend the main restaurant section if you are with children but our kids loved the change in ambience so it worked out. The chef, Luciano, personally came out and asked us what we thought of his food - which was really cool. He mentioned everything was made fresh using local producers from meats & vegetables with certain specialty things coming directly from Italy. This is a great restaurant with a dedicated owner/chef who values your business and feedback. I'm certain this is a local favorite. We will return.

Fantastic time at the Red Door (as always). The ambiance is fantastic, so cozy. My fiancé and I felt well taken care of and never rushed through our meal. We savored every bite through our drinks, appetizers, main course and dessert. We are always looking forward to returning. Can't recommend enough!

Took my fiancée here expecting a 9, ended up being a hard 10! Best Italian food in San Diego with an old school cool vibe. Owner/chef is extremely passionate about his food/restaurant and was extremely cool. One of the great meals of my life! Blows Cesarina out of the water!

Popped into this little gem at 6 on a Saturday night with no reservation and they were fully booked but the sweet staff were able to accommodate us at a high top looking out the window which was perfect. The bartender covered our table and was super attentive the entire meal which was absolutely delicious. Fresh pasta cooked perfectly. The seafood pasta had a ton of mussels and clams and the chicken parm was divine. I will definitely visit this spot again next time I'm in town!

Stop reading Yelp reviews of The Red Door and just make your reservation already! Go and order a Gin Martini (two to be safe) and the Beef Wellington. You'll eat every single bite. Every dish on the menu is delicious; start with the Beets & Burrata and Arugula Salad. You can thank me later. It's a perfect place for a date night.

Yall. This place is top 3 restaurants in San Diego EASILY. Best risotto I've ever had. I've been here at least 5 times and its a hit EVERY TIME

Had a member of our party who doesn't eat cheese but wanted to try their flatbread. The waiter didn't even blink and cheerfully assured us they could swap out the pesto for marinara sauce and top with sausage. That flatbread turned out the star of the evening! Even the rest of us cheese lovers didn't miss it. Was also super impressed by their Beef Wellington. It was a perfect medium and tasty without being overstated. And buttery tender. Even if you're full try the spumoni! It's a chocolate covered ball that's comes out sliced in half on a plate. Ice cream at restaurants can be hit or miss. This was a home run. Richly flavored but not overly sweet. Oh so good! Cozy interior vibe. A fantastic night out for the eyes and tastebuds.

The food was amazing as always. Chef Luciano was fantastic at explaining his dishes of the day. He is always so attentive. Their most popular dishes are the beef Wellington and the short rib. I have had them both and totally recommend them. The place was packed and lively. Nice decor and ambiance. Service was very slow this time compared to other times I have been here but it was Friday night.

This was my second time eating at The Red Door and we weren't disappointed. I took my wife, kids and mother in law to celebrate a birthday. The food was extraordinary and the service we received was excellent. Besides the incredible food and service we were treated to a visit before the meal and after from Chef Luciano. Here's an inside tip, let the chef make the recommendations and you will be glad you did. My only problem, I live in Orange County, otherwise I'd be a regular. Thank you Chef and staff for the best experience.

Great food fast friendly and professional service. Truly a great evening. Food quality was exceptional.

I don't usually write reviews, but I had to make an exception for Red Door. Hands down, this is the best Italian food I've ever had. No exaggeration. The place has such a cozy, welcoming vibe--nothing too fancy, just super comfortable and warm. The staff is friendly and makes you feel like you've been coming there for years, even if it's your first time. Now the food... absolutely incredible. Every dish tastes like it was made from scratch with real care. The pasta is always fresh and cooked perfectly. I've tried a few different things now--carbonara, gnocchi, the lasagna--and every single one has blown me away. The sauces are rich and flavorful without being heavy, and everything just feels right. I honestly haven't stopped thinking about the meal since. If you love Italian food, Red Door is a must. Trust me--you'll want to go back before you even finish your plate.

Great food - and fantastic desserts! We had - the risotto (great texture / taste) , the short rib (very rich - good!), and the eggplant parm (fresh eggplant, great tomato sauce). Large portions, we took home leftovers. Don't skip dessert - the sticky toffee pudding was the best I've ever had. The banana cream pie was bonkers as well.

Such a great place for our Valentine's Day dinner. Our server, I think his name is Ryan (served us at a small corner table by the bar), was so stellar and amazing with his recommendations. I tried the beef Wellington and it was delicious. Definitely will come back for more date night occasions. The ambiance was perfect too and the chef even came out to greet us.

Food was amazing and really fresh got the pappardelle and sea bass! First time here and would definitely come back.

Amazing Food ! you can taste the quality. Chef is always checking on you and serving is amazing. 100% recommended

Really good food! Pricey but worth every penny! Actual chef from Italy. One of our favorite neighborhood restaurants. The seafood linguine is one of the best ever

Best beef Wellington we've ever had. Tender and juicy steak wrapped in savory pastry with delicate and distinctive truffle flavor served with generous portion of vegetables. Lobster ravioli was one of day's special which was also very delicious. Served in mouth watering tangy tomato sauce not heavy cream sauce. Dessert, Sticky pudding with charcoal gelato (ice cream?!) was gooey, creamy and nutty... yummy!!! Our Server was super friendly and welcoming from the time we walked in the restaurant. Restaurant is decorated in European style, comfortable and cozy. Plan to return for an awesome meal again, and will recommend to friends and family.

I got take out from them. They charged me the beef Wellington at a higher price than their online menu and said it was not updated. They also said they would give me bread and never did. Their prices are not reflective of the taste or quality of the food. They charge $68 for a small portion of beef Wellington. They did not offer a discount for next visit. They did not offer to make the order right. All they did is said, if you are not willing to pay the higher price then we can take the beef Wellington off the order. They did not offer to honor the online menu price. The lady who answered the phone did not even apologize for not offering me bread for my order. I will not go back there again. Service is extremely disappointing for an expensive restaurant in Mission Hills. I had ordered from them 2 years ago and equally disappointing in flavor and service. For the same price, you can go to another restaurant.

My son loves their beef wellington, cooked to perfection. Adequate side dishes. I loved the seafood pasta, good size and amount of seafood. The only thing though is the bread service is served upon request only. The resto was not busy, we came for an early lunch. Love the ambiance and decor making it feel like you are in a family resto, very low key set up. The toffee pudding is always a great choice for desert. We got a comp truffles for my son's graduation celebration. That was thoughtful!

One of my new favorite Italian restaurants in San Diego! I was so amazed by the delicious food here and I don't know where to start. I've came here twice already and I'm finally going to write my review. This place is just so stunning! I'm speechless! Both times I came in the owner/chief came to our table and introduced himself and asked us what we liked and how the food was. I am enamored and grateful by his humbleness! This restaurant is located in beautiful Mission Hills of San Diego. Both times I came, I found parking right away on the street. I've had a couple cocktails here and they're all so refreshing and delicious with a good amount of alcohol, my favorite was a strawberry type martini. All the food. I've eat here so far has been exceptional! I have tried their Beef Wellington, Short Rib, and Seabass what does crispy skin, yummy! I've also tried two different types of risotto a basil one and a mushroom one oh my gosh, both of them are just so mouthwatering! Calamari appetizer is a must try, comes with crispy kale, and the calamari is just so tender and delicious! Where do I even start with the dessert? We ordered a share the Orecchiette pasta with sausage I am just speechless. The pasta was just cooked to perfection a little al dente and the sauce and the sausage just full of FLAVOR! The banana cream pie is a definite must try, not too sweet and the slivered almonds on top so yummy! I would come here every single day if I could. Definitely bringing back family and friends!

Best food and best service ever I had the risotto surf and turf special and it was phenomenal Thanks to Chef Luciano and his stuff for the great experience I ll be back for sure to try the beef Wellington And the desserts

Went here for my bday because I wanted to try Beef Wellington. The restaurant is quite small but with a cozy vibe. Service was excellent as was the food. Little pricey but knew that going in. Only downside is that there is only street parking but we got lucky and found a spot. Overall, great experience!

I don't think I've ever mentioned a Shirley Temple‐yes, a SHIRLEY TEMPLE‐in a review, but OMG! Their "house" Shirley Temple was amazing! We absolutely loved the Fabbri cherries (imported from Italy). Onto the food: The White Bean soup was good, but salty. The Chicken Parmesean (with spaghetti) was also salty. My friend also stated that her food was heavy on the salt. Nevertheless, we'd return. If for no other reason, we'll go back for the Shirley Temples! Lol. As for the service, it was the beat we've had in amlong time! The chef, Luciano Cibelli, was very kind. He went to every table and asked about our experiences eating there.

Amazing food! It's one of the best Italian restaurants i have been to. Highly recommended. The problem was that the main dish that I ordered took 50-60 mins to be ready when it was just me in the entire restaurant!. When the dish finally came, it came with the parmesan on top of it, which I specifically told them (twice) not to. Any decent restaurant would remove the charge completely. They didn't seem to care so much. So the food can be as tasty as possible, but these types of things ruin the experience completely.

Came here because I heard how great it was. It is a nice modern small place. They have it divided between the actual restaurant and bar. You can order food from the bar of course! We were greeted right away and made it just before the live music. We ordered calamari. It was the best calamari I had ever eaten! They were shaped like friend which made it so much easier to eat. I could eat 2 plates of those and be very happy. The cocktail I ordered was delicious I drank it like nothing. I ordered 2 and wish I could have had more but I didn't want to spend too much money on drinks. The waitress we had was very sweet. I asked her to pair my order with a wine and she nailed it out of the park. She checked on my table multiple times and was quick to serve. I ordered the short ribs for dinner and it was so tender! There were lots of delicious flavor and you could taste the love in the dish. After dinner I ordered a banana cream pie. The crust was thick and dipped in chocolate making it almost like a drumstick ice cream but better! The banana pie itself was very delicious and creamy! If I wasn't so full from dinner I'd eat the whole thing! After dessert the chef himself came out and asked how we enjoyed the dish. I had never had a chef do that so it made me feel very special. I will be coming here again soon!

The food was amazing!! My favorite was the dessert, the sticky toffee pudding was delicious. The ambiance was great, very moody with a hint of flair, I loved the disco ball and the live music.

The red door always delivers the best experience! Love the atmosphere, service and FOOD!!!! Thank you chef Luciano for a wonderful dinner!

Delicious and cute date night spot. Jake our server was great. All of the food was amazing. Would recommend!
