It was a Tuesday that we came and dined in at another pet friendly restaurant. We came early dinner as well around 4:30pm so it was still Happy Hour Time till 6pm. Their HH menu was pretty good. I love the clams dish so we ended up ordering 2 of those. We sat outdoors at the cozy patio plus heaters so wasn’t too cold. Staffs were very nice, very attentive. We love the restaurant Xmas decorations. Very spacious, it was front and back seatings. There was a private section with bar in the back for business event, birthday, ect…. Free parking long the streets. It’s can be difficult if you come at a later time. We came early so we didn’t have any problem finding a parking spot.

Had a previous reservation fall through for a work dinner and contacted Piazza because I had been here previously and we had an excellent experience – contacted them the day of to ask if they could accommodate a dinner for 28 people. Roberta and her team went above and beyond for us! An exceptional meal and top notch service. Can not recommend enough. Lovely owners, lovely staff all around great ambience. We will surely be back

I booked the covered back patio for my intimate wedding reception and I was so incredibly impressed by the service! My guests were truly blown away by the food and how nice the staff was! Roberta was such an easy person to work with and really went above and beyond to make sure my day was special!
My favorite compliment I received all day was from my father who praised my reception location choice by telling me I had “incredible taste”. 10/10 If you’re considering booking this space for any event – DO IT!

I was so happy to discover a truly authentic Italian restaurant run entirely by Italians. The food brought me right back to Italy — the Diavola pizza with spicy salami was delicious, and the gnocchi with pesto were incredibly soft and delicate. To my delight, they even had my favorite Hugo Spritz, which isn’t easy to find everywhere. Our waiter Giuseppe gave us plenty of attention, and I even got the chance to practice my long-forgotten Italian with him. I highly recommend this place — if we’re ever back in San Diego, we’ll definitely be returning!

Charged me AND cancelled me.
So many tables waiting were extremely upset for Valentine’s Day dinner. At least two other reservations next to me couldn’t get tables, and myself included.
I called before my res because of traffic and was informed there was a 15min grace period, but once I arrived, I was told 10min. They canceled my table AND charged me on opentable.

Absolutely beautiful! Food aesthetic and everything was spot on.
Husband found this place through some ad on Instagram and wanted to go here because they had the squid ink pasta. He really wanted a pastor and the rest of the menu seemed really nice as well so we came here for our anniversary dinner.
Definitely had a very hard time picking something on the menu because everything looks so good but I was also trying to eat healthy so got the Fall Salad (along with the pasta).
It was an arugula base with roasted butternut squash, dried cranberries, apple, caramelized pecans and goat cheese. Added some chicken on top and overall this salad was phenomenal! Chicken was cooked perfectly and everything else on the salad was also beautiful together. The goat cheese was fresh. Pecans were yummy and the butternut squash was also delicious. And so so so well together. We did not even need one drop of that salad dressing.
The squid ink pasta itself was absolutely lovely. Pasta was so fresh and cooked perfectly al dente. The sauce was yummy and there was so much of seafood on there. It was actually a very good meal for the price point. No regrets here at all. All the seafood was also cooked perfectly well and I was very skeptical about a seafood pasta but this was delicious.
Got the Tiramisu for dessert and it was yummy! I was a little hesitant about this because I’ve had experiences with tiramisu not being as nice, but this was perfectly spot on. The mascarpone was soft and creamy and yummy and This was just another dessert overall.
Aesthetic was very beautiful and they had heaters everywhere so the experience was very comfortable.

The mood was set with a guitar player out on the spacious patio during our dinner. We brought our Yorkie, Karma, and she got to choose meatballs or chicken with rice or broccoli from the dog menu. Dining there was a culinary highlight of our trip to San Diego. The entire experience was delightful. Karma gave the meatballs four paws up.

What a great restaurant! We had dinner here after watching the sunset at the beach. We loved the friendly service, great food, and above all the cozy outdoor spaces with banana plants and bamboo walls. We had a salmon dish and the salad with berries as a starter. For mains we had ravioli and fish. No room for dessert!

I had our rehearsal dinner here, and my guests and I were all blown away! The service was impeccable and warm and the food was absolutely delicious – classic, authentic Italian! Great wine selection, too. The back patio was so cozy and welcoming, and even though it was raining, we stayed nice and dry. So many of our guests gushed at how wonderful the whole dinner was. They have a very reasonable minimum for an event compared to other restaurants in the area, as well. If you’re thinking about booking a private event/party with them, just do it, you’ll be so happy you did! Thank you to Roberta and the whole team at Piazza 1909 for making our rehearsal dinner such a hit!

We celebrated our daughter’s wedding here back in February and loved everything about it. The way Roberta took care of our daughter and her needs and wants and the food and service on the actual day. There was SO much yummy food served, that not a single person was able to eat all of it. The gnocchi gorgonzola took the cake, it was absolutely delicious.
Since the wedding day was all a bit of a blur to us, we decided to come back here for our anniversary and were not disappointed. The appetizers (calamari, prosciutto and melon and the burrata) were amazing. We enjoyed the coteletta milanese and the fussiloni and our guests devoured pizza, pesce and lasagne. Everybody loved it and we will definitely come back next year.
