- PPeterSan Diego •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days ago-Delightful birthday dinner for my wife, her best friend and me. An annual tradition since we discovered you maybe six years ago. All staff, waiters, servers, other attendants and hostess served the front of the house superbly. We’d met waiter Massimo years ago and make our reservations when we know it’s gonna be his night, and his booth or table. Always cordial and correct, his confidence leads us to perfect choices from the evening’s menu. I’m fond of their duck, but some years they give it a rest and Massimo may propose entrees that now compete for my new fave. My wife enjoys their pork, and her friend usually follows suit. -The kitchen doesn’t rush or delay. They time things and present our meals just right. Seems last night they were especially generous in portion sizes. We split a pasta by three of us, and it was plenty. My half duck had two legs and the polenta was a wedge of baked wonder. -We personally know the pastry chef and never know which treat to select. This visit we all tried the cannoli and the silky sweet fillings were so satisfying. -For last night we took a later reservation and closed the place down. Not a problem with them. -Happy birthday to my wife, Merry Christmas to all, and ditto new year. Thank you. Or, -Buon compleanno a mia moglie, buon Natale a tutti e idem il nuovo anno.
