Kim was absolutely incredible hands down one of the best servers I’ve ever had. She was kind, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we sat down. She knew the menu so well, gave great recommendations, and checked on us at all the right times without ever being overbearing. You can tell she truly cares about her guests having a great experience.
Ramon the manager, was just as impressive. He was very attentive and made sure everything was running smoothly. It’s clear he leads with professionalism and really values customer service.
Between the amazing service and the overall atmosphere, this place is top-tier. Huge thank you to Kim and Ramon for making our visit so special we’ll definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Highly recommended for happy hour!HH martinis for 12-14 dollars, strong pour and well made. We tried the tomatini (interesting and not as weird as it sounds lol), como cosmo, and the old fashioned. Fries were solid. They gave some complimentary cheese and olives. The service was a bit slow, which is to be expected for handcrafted cocktails (but something to be aware of if you’re on a time crunch). The restaurant itself is beautiful and cozy too.

We had an outstanding dinner at Lucrezia La Jolla. From the oysters and Nostra Caprese to the grilled lamb chops, every dish was both beautiful and flavorful. Our server, Emmanuel, was attentive and fun, and manager Ramon made the evening feel personal. We ended with espresso martinis and heavenly tiramisu—the perfect finish to a perfect night. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Marco is THAT server. So friendly, quick with everything we needed, and just brought really good vibes to our table. We felt taken care of from start to finish. 10/10 would ask for him again

We had the most amazing experience at Lucrezia! Adrien, our server, was an absolute gem. He was attentive, kind, and genuinely warm from the moment we sat down. Rodrigo went above and beyond as well, making sure every detail was perfect. The pizza fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. But what truly made the night unforgettable was how they helped make my niece’s birthday feel so special. They treated her like royalty and made the entire experience memorable. Thank you, Adrien and Rodrigo, for making it such a joyful celebration. We’ll definitely be back!

Great food, great options. Amazing service from Marco- thank you! And I love the decor, it has the flair of an elegant, chic, classy woman. So the atmosphere was definitely there. I have to say, somewhere I’d come back when I visit San Diego again! Thank you!

Spent $288 here on Saturday. Had drinks, oysters, and pasta. It’s unfortunate that the food is only 3/5! It’s a beautiful restaurant but there are some much better Italian places in little Italy. Try Bencotto or Monzu
