Went on Valentine’s Eve and it wasn’t busy at all! It seemed to be a bit of a slower night, so I’d definitely recommend booking a table in advance. The food was great, service was punctual, and the atmosphere was fantastic!
The complementary bread was delicious as well, and it came with a mild tomato sauce that was amazing! My date and I ordered the fettuccine alla genovese (bottom) and the frafalle con pollo (top), and the portions were generous and easily shareable.
Great place to eat and stop to take in the city!

I come here for one item: gluten free and vegan ravioli! It’s so delicious. My husband loves the gluten free gnocchi. This was our last meal in San Diego when we visited for the first time last year, and it was our first meal here on our second visit because we loved it so much! It’s hard to find delicious gluten free pasta in the south where we live, so this is truly a treat for us. We also enjoyed a fresh house salad this time which was also great. Tossed in just the right amount of dressing. The server assured me it did not have dairy in the dressing. Our server was wonderful. We enjoyed eating outside our first visit and inside the second. We highly recommend!

The food here is good and reasonably priced. I personally was not a fan of the lasagna (it tasted too sweet) but the Cannelloni was delicious! The layout is not ideal and felt crowded while dining and service was very slow. We waited so long for our dinner we were full from appetizers and tired so had to take our mains to go. It took an uncharacteristically long time to receive a check in after the meals were dropped and then we had an additional long wait of approximately 15 minutes to get boxes and the check.

Went on a Saturday evening around 6 and had no wait. We were seated in a smaller room modeled after a wine cellar which added a great vibe to the evening. We were served fresh bread with marinara sauce which was delicious! We waited about 20 minutes for our mains, which were all large portions and very tasty! Our waters were refilled multiple times during the service. Overall experience was great and would definitely come back if we are in the area again.

Second time eating at this restaurant, the first time I liked it and now I love it. The food is delicious and deserts are great as well.
The service and ambience was very good. My husband and I planned to have lunch and after that go to another place to have cafe and deserts but the atmosphere at this place was so nice that we decided to stay there a bit longer. I am glad we did because the pistachio cheesecake we had was very delicious.
I had linguine Neri and my husband salmon risotto.
Both delicious.

I can’t believe how incredible the tomato sauce was at this Italian restaurant — seriously one of the best I’ve ever had. It’s rich, full of layered flavors, and tastes like it’s been perfected over generations. Every dish that used it just popped.
The environment is casual and comfortable, the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. The staff were super friendly too, checking in often and making sure everything was perfect.
Overall, a fantastic experience. I’ll definitely be coming back.

We had dinner at Buon Appetito at 5 pm on Sunday evening. Pretty seemless to get a table right away. We started with Rucola e Bietole (Baby beets, and arugula tossed in our house dressing with caramelized red onions, walnuts and feta cheese). For the main course we ordered the Borsettini di Aragosta (pocket pasta filled with lobster and cheese finished in champange cream sauce with asparagus and sun dried tomatoes) and the Ossobuco di Maiale (Pork Shank, Ossobuco braised in a Marsala mushroom sauce and served with a four-cheese risotto).I really enjoyed both dishes, tons of food and great flavor. I also am not a risotto person but I really liked this risotto. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent service and very delicious food. The complimentary bread comes with red spaghetti sauce with garlic and basil seasoning which I have never seen before. Not butter but like pasta sauce. Love the garlic flavor. The Calimari was one of the best that we’ve had, so tender and juicy. Had Linguine Boscomare was very very good. The Vodka Pink sauce was out of the world, very unique flavor. Must try. Definitely will go back to order that again.

Great Italian restaurant in the heart of Little Italy. I highly recommend the pappardelle with wild boar ragu or the fusilli with duck ragu. Some of the appetizers I would recommend would be the homemade meatballs or the carpaccio de bresaola. It’s a little less busy during lunch, and more busy for dinner. Parking is difficult since it is downtown but this place is definitely worth checking out.

Outstanding food and service. I know that getting great pasta in Little Italy is no surprise, but this place is definitely in the top echelon. We left so stuffed, and didn’t even get a chance to try their tiramisu, which I’ve heard is very good.
