San Diego Italian Restaurants

Pizza

1. Venetian Restaurant

and that's it. No pine nuts, no garlic, severe lack of olive oil. And the pasta was undercooked and hard. No al dente action.   My pizza was bland. The chicken was dry, the artichokes tasted as though...

2. Lido's Italian Foods

Neighborhood: Lemon Grove

I was looking for some good, non-chain store pizza close to my neighborhood.  I came across Lido's on Yelp and after reading reviews I thought it was worth a try.    I ordered take-out and the girl...

3. Florencias Pizza

Neighborhood: North Park

modern fashion that looks like you are literally sitting at some cafe somewhere in Italy. The staff is very nice and professional, even on the phone. Their pizza is good, but that's not what...

4. Paesano Italian Food

Neighborhood: North Park

3. Pepe's Italian

Neighborhood: Ocean Beach

Very tasty pasta dishes and salads.  Calzones are good too.  I just wish they didn't use styrofoam plates!  Also, I won't eat here if it's over 75-80 degrees.  They don't have AC and with that pizza...

4. Venetian Restaurant

but it seems like they go too far on at least one ingredient in each of their menu items that I tried. I know pesto is based on basil, but my boyfriend's pesto pasta dish tasted like an actual basil plant...

5. Lorna's Italian…

Neighborhood: La Jolla

or anything spectacular coming here (unless, that is, you're ordering their bruschetta).  I would say I've tried a fair number of their pastas (Ferni, tagliatelli bolognese, gnocchi, etc...
