Our server McKenna was outstanding and made some recommendations we thoroughly enjoyed. The Amalfi G m T was s perfect balance is quality gin and specialty tonic. The charred octopus was delicious as was the rest of our meal including the striped bass and the rigatoni Nonna. Lavo never disappoints. Great way to start OSS the new year

Allegro had the best Italian dish I’ve ever had in San Diego, hands down.

The food was plated so nicely. We had lunch and the calamari was delicious as was the hamburger. The garlic parmesan fries are the best! Try them! It was fairly busy when we were there but service was good and the food came out quickly. Perfect for our lunch hour!

We had a table of 4 women. After purchasing a bottle of wine next door we had the most delicious dinner. The service was impeccable! All four of us have told our friends about this little gem. Thank you Mattarello!!!

Madison had a great atmosphere and outstanding food. We enjoyed the music and ambiance. Service was fast, knowledgeable and friendly. Great location, and we appreciate that it was open on New Year's Day.

Service at our table was amazing! Carla was very attentive to our questions and always had a smile. They surprised us with a dessert for our wedding anniversary and it was a wonderful gesture. We had a great time!

Great food, wine and service. Only downside is the bathroom is not connected to the restaurant so you have to walk down the street to it.

We were a party of 3 for dinner, we arrived there about 5:10 for a 5:30 reservation. We ordered a glass of wine at the bar during happy hour. It was a generous pour for $3 and was good wine. We sat outside on this cold rainy night but the heaters kept us warm. Our food choices were well received, everyone was happy with the quality and quantity of food. This included the artichoke heart appetizer, fried green tomatoes appetizer, free range chicken entree, salmon entree and filet mignon entree. Dessert was the coconut bread pudding and the crème brûlée. All delicious although the bread pudding did not taste of coconut. Service was excellent, Alexa was attentive and efficient without rushing us. It was a very pleasant evening will return.
