I hear the pasta is good, but I get the pizza every time.
Parking is easy in liberty station. It is near the airport so you get plane sounds every so often.
Husband got the Mule of the cocktail menu and friend got the Espresso Martini. Both brings were absolutely delicious! Neither of them were too strong (especially the espresso martini which I usually find quite strong). Another friend also got one of the wines and said it was nice.
Got Focaccia for the table and it was lovely . Fresh and warm and good amount of Rosemary on top . Quite thin but good enough since it actually gave us that crispy edge and slightly chewy inside .
Beet Salad was lovely! Absolutely appreciate how they had fresh greens and then the chopped up beet on top and some goat cheese and then the lentils. Most beet salads at restaurants don’t focus on adding greens, but just a big bowl of beet so this was definitely nice. Lentils added a nice touch and even that balsamic pressing was delicious!
We asked for grilled chicken on the side and the chicken was also cooked perfectly well! Nice seasoning with the crispy outside and the perfectly cooked inside.
Carbonara pasta was a bit of a letdown. It wasn’t proper yellow like how you would expect from a carbonara after the yolk is added on there. It looked more like a white sauce pasta. Even the flavor wasn’t much like carbonara.
Vesuvio pizza from the specials menu was also surprisingly good! It was Calabrian Chili, sausage, some cheese (looked like ricotta and pecorino) and black olives.
We usually need to add some chili flakes or hot honey on our pizza to give it great, but this one was actually proper spicy! I was definitely not expecting that pizza to be that spicy! Definitely a good pizza though because that crust was perfectly cooked and not too much in comparison to the toppings and overall an enjoyable one.
We were actually discussing about how we wanted garlic bread before actually asking for the focaccia and I don’t know why but the server charged as $1 extra just to add garlic even though we didn’t mention add garlic. We just asked for normal focaccia.
I also asked for some extra hot honey on the side just to drizzle on some of the bread and pizza and they ended up charging $2 for a small 1½ oz container of Honey. Quite too much to be honest!
This was pie to perfection with a thin, flexible base, just enough sauce, fresh basil and the right amount of cheeses. The bonus was the wood fired coal kisses crust.
We sat in the patio which initially loud due to a child’s birthday party but ended up being elegant and peaceful with outdoor Italian lights and decor.
The Special Spicy Ravioli was also fantastic – note, it’s “spicy “ and says so. If you don’t want the spice they can make it without.
For dessert, the cannoli was smaller than I like and the Marzipan a bit grainy. The Tiramisu however, far made up for it. Delish!
Our server Deseree was awesome with the perfect amount of attentive and accommodating.
Making this as a new favorite spot!

Food tastes good, and the price is reasonable. Glad that we stopped by for dinner.
Just when we thought there wasn’t any Parmesan cheese, a lady came with the biggest bowl with ever seen and served us! They have gluten free options (both pasta and pizza) and even dairy free/vegan cheese options for pizza- which is a great option for lactose intolerant people.
Only complaint is that they only had like one bathroom and it took forever for us to use it.
We chose to sit inside on another beautiful day in San Diego. I will say that the ceilings are so high that they don’t really clean the vents and exposed mechanicals. Myself living in a loft with exposed vents, mechanicals etc I understand this dilemma. However the walls and windows were all filthy and need a good cleaning. This didn’t reflect on our experience but simply pointing out cleanliness is friendliness.
We had calamari, salad, and a couple of pizzas. All was delicious and well prepared. Though the calamari didn’t come with lemon which was strange. A quick request and that was rectified.
Parking is kind of limited in this area of Liberty Station though a few blocks away there is tons of public parking. I’d imagine on a busy weekend that parking will be kind of a pain.
Looking forward to going back soon, that pizza crust was phenomenal.
