“ The best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in a while. The server and other staff were amazing and attentive. We ordered carbonara, paglia e fieno al pesto, pollo giardino and gnocchi and it was all amazing. Not a bad dish in sight. Will definitely be coming back next time I’m in San Diego. ”
“ Great spot for Italian food for the price! went on a Sunday 6 pm and it was crowded - glad we made a reservation Best part was honestly the free bread which came with a slightly spicy but excellent marinara. Do your best at not getting full off the bread. We got the black linguine salmon and chicken parm which were both excellent and portions large enough to take home for seconds. One thing to note is despite what it says on website, they do NOT offer free parking. ”
“ We had a delicious meal here, with a great atmosphere and reasonable pricing. The service great, albeit a bit slow, but it was a Saturday night right at dinner time, and there wasn't an empty seat in the place, so that is to be expected somewhat. ”
“ Solid neighborhood Italian restaurant. I really liked their red sauce pasta, it was so good. Tiramisu also excellent. Good cheap wine too. ”
“ It had been quite some time since I’d last visited Arrivederci but I remembered loving the food. That hasn’t changed with this visit. We went for a work lunch the other day and were served by Giuseppe, a true Italian who conversed in Italian with one of my coworkers. He was warm and friendly while providing excellent service. I had the lasagna and it practically melted in my mouth. Absolutely amazing. All of my colleagues enjoyed their meals as well. It got quiet once the dishes came which is a good sign that the food is excellent. My Italian coworker is kind of an Italian food snob and she loved everything too. We split some desserts to include Tiramisus, Cannolis, Pistachio something (can’t remember the name). All of it was excellent. I’m not going to wait so long before going back for another visit! Highly recommend the food and Giuseppe as a waiter. ”
“ This place is so nice and clean. The atmosphere takes you to Italy as you enter. Parking is off street, location is so easy to find. Now, food tastes amazing especially it is made by Italians for real! The flavor is incredible. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend visiting this place and enjoy this unique experience. ”
“ This place is hands down the best Italian in San Diego and quite possibly the best Italian I have had. Everything is homemade, and the service is a 10. I never waited for anything. I come to SD often but have always missed coming. My sisters were also in town, so we went last night. They loved it so much that they returned for lunch today on their way to the airport. If you're in SD visiting or, even better, you live there, do not miss this place. ”
“ Wonderful dinner experience with our beloved friends. The food was amazing and we loved our waitress and staff, always attentive, super friendly and speaking Italian! ”
