New Eatery. Deep Roots.

—— Honoring Tradition

At our table you are
enjoying Italian recipes passed
down from generations
past – paired with an
experience of family &
San Diego.

—— Raised in Restaurants

While most kids had
Play-Doh, we grew up
making the Pasta & Pizza,
from scratch. Home-made Italian
food runs through our veins.
