Ten of us from Georgia, Texas, Arkansas had just attended a Marine Corps Boot Camp graduation. The 2 young Marine graduates wanted a good Italian meal. We decided to give The Red Door a try as it is a very short drive from MCRD. For an appetizer we chose the Flatbread.
We had a variety of choices, Lasagna, Chicken Parmesan, Seafood Pasta, Ravioli among other things. Everything was delicious & prepared perfectly. Our wonderful server was Robin. She was very polite, professional & just a Sweetie.
Definitely a 5 Star dining experience!

I went to The Red Door in Mission Hills about two weeks ago with my uncle Ramón. I ordered the Wellington steak and a banana cream pie, and everything was absolutely delicious! The service was great and the staff was super friendly. The Wellington steak was exactly what I was recommended — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Definitely worth the visit!

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at The Red Door! The pasta was incredible – we ordered the orecchiette and chef Luciano’s spaghetti and meatball special [both were AMAZING] – and the ambiance was pleasant and welcoming. We were celebrating both our 5th wedding anniversary and closing on our first home the day before, and Robin, our server, made our celebrations so special and warm. She was super kind, knowledgeable, and made us feel like family. We also appreciated seeing chef Luciano’s presence on the floor, who made it feel even more homely. We highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Popped into this little gem at 6 on a Saturday night with no reservation and they were fully booked but the sweet staff were able to accommodate us at a high top looking out the window which was perfect. The bartender covered our table and was super attentive the entire meal which was absolutely delicious. Fresh pasta cooked perfectly. The seafood pasta had a ton of mussels and clams and the chicken parm was divine. I will definitely visit this spot again next time I’m in town!

The food was great, the ambience was good with live music, and the service great. The chef comes to all tables which is a nice touch. I definitely will be coming back. This area (Mission Hills) is chill and there’s plenty of street parking and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. Not as busy as Hillcrest or North Park. Saw some guys fighting at North Park outside bar.. you won’t get that at Mission Hills…

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Where do I even begin?! Jacob (I hope I got his name right!) was our server and did an outstanding job. We had the following dishes, which were all DELECTABLE: the arugula salad, the seafood fettuccini, lobster ravioli, fresh sea bass over basil risotto, and the free range chicken. The portions were HUGE and the food was served hot and seasoned to perfection. Truly one of the best meals I’ve had EVER; I’m so glad I chose this for my birthday dinner. For dessert we had the banana cream pie and the chocolate lava cake. We were also treated to the truffles (melted like BUTTER), the amazing vanilla gelato and the toffee bread. I can’t say enough about this dining experience other than everything was top notch! This will be a MUST on our return visits to San Diego!

Amazing food, live music, and exceptional service. If you’re like me and you’ve experienced poor service in the past you understand just how valuable it is to receive outstanding service. Our server was new, TJ, but he was so warm and genuine and knowledgeable. The chef even came out to chat with us once our food arrived! This felt like we were in a small town in Europe or Milan even by the atmosphere. Food was also amazing and my wife had Beef Wellington for the first and not last time. Will be back here next week!
