Thursdays are 1/2 price pizzas from 5-6pm. The best! Sit at the bar and enjoy.
David GreerDecember 21, 2009Everything I had was great... Stuffed Zucchini blossoms, pork chop, and the roasted strawberry dessert... SO GOOD!
Amazing Place! Try something new...Pizza with and egg cracked on it. I know it sounds crazy, but it is so good.
- Stop here for a glass of wine before walking into Balboa Park.
Visit San DiegoOctober 22, 2010You can buy a bottle in their wine shop and drink it at your table for a small wine cork fee!
You really can't go wrong here, unless you don't make a reservation!
Terry StraitJanuary 12, 2011You HAVE to have the apple gratin! Goes fantastic with an Orin Swift "The Prisoner"
Sofie GogicSeptember 13, 2011They will sub gluten free noodles for wheat pasta by request!!!! Yay!!!
Either begin or end with one of their cheese plates.
Ming LimFebruary 3, 2010Sit in the communal tables. Fun, hip, excellent and moderately priced. Delicious.
- Shay MamoSeptember 16, 2011The lasagna is served on a million degree plate that never gets cold. The dish stays too hot to eat long after you've burned the inside of your mouth and can't taste anything.
highly applaud pan seared trout with brocolli but i guess geo bush would not
