    Service was phenomenal, food took a little bit longer to come out due it being Valentine’s Day. However, it was worth the wait as the food was as phenomenal as the service. Really feels like you’re family, would come again next time I’m in SD.

    The veal chop was inedible. Literally no meat. My son had the same thing. Terrible. Really disappointing. Pasta dishes were labeled good. Asked for dessert, the bill arrived instead. Won’t be back.

    Wonderful to be able to have a table ready when I checked in for my reservation especially on Valentine’s Day! That alone was impressive. Great staff and delicious food.

    Valentines dinner was so good! We each had the 8 oz filet with potatoes and asparagus and the sauce on the meat was SO GOOD! The only thing that I didn’t like was how close the tables were to each other. Maybe 3 feet between each. Otherwise it was great!

    As always, the lunch at Asti was wonderful! It was Valentine's Day & most choose to dine in the evening, so we had the patio to ourselves. Our server, Anthony, was attentive and personable. The Pasta was cooked to perfection and the salad was fresh & very tasty! All in all, a very nice experience for a beautiful San diego afternoon!

    Great place - food was excellent as was the service. Good wine selection, menu selections. Had a business meeting for 16 and, along with another group of similar size at the same time, it was a little loud at times but I would do it again.
