€€€€
• Italian • Point Loma
Booked 8 times today
The Venetian’s award-winning Italian cuisine (including what critics call some of San Diego’s best pizza), relaxed setting and casual atmosphere have earned generations of fans since Vince Giacalone first welcomed customers in 1965. Sons Joey and Frank proudly continue their family traditions, making sausage, soups and sauces from scratch and drawing a devoted, all-ages clientele. Highlights of the menu include bruschetta, seafood pastas, chicken and veal piccata, and thick- or thin-crust pizzas with either traditional or trendy toppings. Located in Point Loma, The Venetian’s friendly service and “Cheers” style vibe make it a favorite destination for date night, happy hour, dinner with friends or family celebrations. Seating includes the lively bar and patio (great for families and larger parties); comfy booths and banquettes; and a private wine cellar that can be reserved for parties of up to 16. Dinner nightly; lunch Monday-Friday; Sunday brunch; full bar.

Roman trattorias are a timeless expression of simplicity. Immune to the lure of gastronomic experimentation and ego. In Rome, no chef can cook better than the mothers and grandmothers before them. Our goal is to merge the dogmatic approach of Roman cooking with the amazing abundance of ingredients available to us in San Diego. A True Roman Holiday In SD.

• Greek • Coronado

Nighthawk takes its name from the Edward Hopper painting, not as nostalgia but as a reflection of atmosphere, people gathered, light stretching into evening, and the feeling of stepping just outside the ordinary. Set entirely outdoors in Coronado, it embraces the Pacific breeze, shifting light, and horizon in a way that echoes the rhythm of the Greek islands, where life unfolds in open air and time moves more slowly. The space centers on connection and presence, drawing from the Greek idea of philia—relationships built through shared moments and unhurried conversation, rooted in a tradition where gathering, simplicity, and time spent together matter most. Nighthawk lives in that overlap between places, suggesting that the warmth, ease, and sense of belonging we associate with distant coasts may already be closer than we think.

• Steakhouse • Little Italy
Booked 107 times today
The American steakhouse is an iconic restaurant institution. We’d wanted to tell that story for years, but waited until we had the skill, talent and ability to execute it properly, and the right space to be our canvas, an important corner in Little Italy, a neighborhood where we have deep roots. We brought an almost academic appreciation for steakhouse history and tradition to Born & Raised, while trying to stay relevant and authentic to ourselves and our city. Our dry-aged beef pays tribute to earlier, earthier, pre-government grading practices and is the centerpiece of a meal best savored at a slow pace. A timeless celebration of everything that makes restaurants so special. - Consortium Holdings. A 4% surcharge is added to all guest checks.

My cucina has always been the center of the universe for my 3 daughters, 5 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, their friends, loved ones, and acquaintances – everyone was always Benvenuto!Now, we've brought that same love and flavor right here to San Diego. My beloved grandson, Niccolo', and his amore, Cesarina, are opening the doors of my Cucina with the same warm heart and passion.Wondering how I made it to 95? Well, it's simple: I ate everything that's served here and filled my life with amore! So, Benvenuti! Don't hesitate to indulge in "Scarpetta" - dip that bread into the sauce, just like my grandchildren used to do at the stove when they thought I wasn't looking.Here, Belli De Nonna, it’s all about food, family, and creating beautiful memories!

    Not the first time at the Born & Raised. As previously, service and food were outstanding. For 4, we got two appetizers, dry aged ribeye, mashed potatoes, and broccolini. All were delicious. First time I ordered a bottle of wine, sommelier recommendation based on our preference was right on target!
