Absolutely the best pizza you'll find in San Diego. Hands down. All of the other food we've tried at the restaurant is fantastic as well; fresh, local produce and seafood cooked with passion and care. Giuseppe is an absolute artist. Greta place for a romantic dinner or to bring the whole family. Definitely kid friendly. Bravo

I was on a quick weekend get away in Mission Bay area and decided to take my family here out for dinner. They made several mistakes that would typically make me not want to give such high rating but here are the reasons broken down by good and bad:bad- They forgot to put in my drink order so it never came- They forgot our appetizer order so it never came- Most Italian places I've been to serve some dinner rolls, bagette or foccacia type bread while watiing. Not hereDespite above mistakes...good- They had one of the most courteous team of wait staff and managers of ANY restaurant I've been to. Walking into the restaurant, the hostess wanted to make sure that the table we were given was completely comfortable. - The older gentleman who was either the chef, manager or perhaps the owner, was super thorough in explanaing their daily special and told they'll custom make anything to accomodate our kids in case our little ones don't see anything they like on the menu- My wife was given a sample of wine before she ordered it. I rarely see any non-winery restaurants do this. this was awesome - Food seemed authentic. Our kids pizza had super nice quality cheese and my pasta (linguine alle vongole) was full of flavor and not soupyThis was one of the few occasions for me when a restaurant screwd up multiple times and still made me not irked. Good job. We will be back one day.

Ue, this is real Italian cuisine! The eggplant is perfectly prepared fare la scarpetta. Words cannot describe how good it is until you have tried this dish or if you've visited Napoli. The lasagna and fish special are equally superb.The establishment has a cozy ambiance with a beautiful oven at the heart. Each table is adorned with a lemon to reference Caprese, the land of lemon trees. The staff does not miss a beat, as they know their dishes well. If you speak English or Italian, you certainly have an opportunity to engage with the staff about Caprese and Napoli. If you love Kiss Radio, you're in the right spot! The Italian classics will certainly set a chipper tone for the evening. It is a perfect spot for medium and small groups. This is a charming restaurant, and I highly recommend giving it a visit. Alla prossima

This has become my favorite Italian place in San Diego. The service, impeccable. The food, unbelievable. Whenever someone comes to visit we take them here. Our server recommended a salad alteration that was perfection. Smoked mozzarella on the eggplant was so good I was angry there wasn't more after the final bite. And the affogato is the best I have ever experienced. Highly recommend!!

I have been looking for a real Italian place after moving from the East Coast and my trips to Italy. By chance I had dinner at Cucina Caprese and from the moment I walked in I felt the Italian love. The ambiance was perfect with the old fashioned wood over. Service was outstanding and a knowledgeable server who ensure our dinner experience was perfect. The best part was the simple yet deep Italian flavors on many of the dishes. Everything tasted intensely and fresh. I felt like I was once again tasting the food of Italy as in the past. Prices were fantastic for the quality of food and service.
