Great atmosphere and vibe with a wide range of wine selections. Quite spacious with good interior designs and suitable for large groups as well. Food was decent enough, but Clam Linguini that I got was a bit unexpected flavor.

As an Italian, it's hard for me to find Italian restaurants that meet my expectations, this is by far one of my favorites in San Diego. Smells like Nonna's cooking.
