San Diego this is the best italian you can get!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/15/2011

A good friend of mine had been talking about this place for the longest time. So last night my wife and I tried it out. Wow that's what I have to say. From the moment we got there it was great. We were welcomed the moment we walked in and seated with in minutes on a friday night!!! It was only 6 but still we got a table with a view thats out for this world with no reservation. The server was very friendly and suggested the tasting menu that we had. My wife also got the wine tasting and myself an Italian soda. We both started with the mushroom soup that was so good. next come the pasta I got the ravioli filled with a spinach and cheese mix in a sage cream sauce and my wife the fettucini with scallops, shrimp, tomatoes, arugula and crab. Both were crazy good and the server told us that all the pasta was made there. I tell you, this is the place. Oh, I can't believe I didn't start with this. The bread, what bread, I dare anyone to find better bread around here! I'm telling you, you can't. Now we are at the main course. We both had this rolled chicken breast with fontia cheese and proscuitto in it. they topped it with butter, sage and balsamic. I would have never thought that it would work with the balsamic but man was it good. All this and the chef cameout and talked to us about the dishes and then brought us a tiramisu on him. All in all a night we will not forget and for under $100. We have found our new home for Italian food and strongly suggest that if you want a great night, great food and friendly people( AND YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ROBBED) this is the place. more
