I came here for lunch and really enjoyed myself. I had the create your own pasta dish. I chose the pesto sauce with shrimp as the protein. The portion size was perfect. It was light and delicious. The place is very cute inside. The server was very attentive. The parking can be tough. Overall, this place is wonderful.

We had an absolutely wonderful (early) birthday dinner for my sister-in-law at IL Posto. From the very friendly and attentive (but not too attentive) wait staff to the small & intimate yet open feeling interior, it was just a delightful experience. The menu is full of delicious sounding dishes so, with the help of our waiter, we settled on a few fantastic appetizers and main courses. Without his help, we'd probably still be trying to figure it out. I personally went with the classic margherita pizza and I have no regrets. The crust was thin and soft on the bottom and then crisp but with just enough softness for the crust. All with the wonderful slight char from the wood burning ovens. I can't recommend it more. I truly look forward to being able to come back here on future visits to San Diego.

Il Posto is located in the old Eclipse chocolate shop. The reviews here are great, but I found the food to just be okay. The atmosphere is very cute and they've designed the space really nicely with both inside and outside dining options. Even inside, it feels very al fresco with all the large open windows. We ordered the appetizer trio, caesar salad, frito misto, potato pasta, orecchiette pasta and pistachio pizza. The food was good, but nothing really stood out. I prefer the food at Piacere Mio better. I was impressed with the pricing here. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the wine. You could get a bottle of red for under $30, which is unheard of these days. Service was attentive at the beginning, but slowed down towards the end of our meal.

I made the reservation via Yelp as it is simple and fast. I came here with my family to celebrate birthday festive with couple of people.The ambiance is very amazing. The waiter and the chef were very friendly.This place is perfect for the vegetarian and Vegan guests!The food was absolutely delicious. It was very authentic!Ordered:1 - Make your own pasta - Tagliatelle Pasta with Vodka sauce (Marinara sauce and cream, oregano, basil and pepper). Added bell peppers and shrimps. This dish was cooked to perfection, and it was so delicious. 2 - Make your own pasta - Tagliatelle Pasta with Alfredo sauce (Cream, butter, parmigiano, pepper and parsley).This dish was super delicious. The authentic way!3. Lobster Ravioli - Salted with Shrimp, finished in Lobster cream sauce topped with arucola and shaved parmigiano.4. Focaccia (Evo Oil, Rosemary, Oregano & Pepper)We loved the freshly baked bread. It was so good.This dish was kind of salty and the only way to make it neutral is by eating each bite with arucola greens. The cream sauce was perfectly fine with the lobster pasta. If you are in the San Diego area and near South Park, this is a definitely the place you will want to dine at. Plan to come early as there is only street residential parking.

Visiting a friend and he recommended this place. Thank goodness we listened. We walked to this cute restaurant. Before we went, we did a quick reservation via YELP. My BFF and I got there early and they took us in immediately. Service was immediately and we decided to family style. We got a pizza cotto e funghi as an appetizer and loved that it was thin sliced. The burrata e prosciutto was tasty. We also split Insalata della casa, linguini de fruti de mare and Pollo al Marsala. I loved the flavor combo of the salad. It was perfectly dressed. The pasta was perfectly cooked to me and great al dente. The seafood combo with the sauce was tasty. The chicken was juicy with a very well seasoned sauce. We definitely needed to cap off the night with dessert. We celebrated my BFFs birthday with the Panna cotta pistachio! Definitely a place to come back to enjoy the ambiance and food!!

Visited this spot first night in San Diego, my girlfriend and I were seated right away on a Monday night. The ambience gives a modern vibe with chill and slow r&b/classy music. Our server checked in with us multiple times while another server made sure our cups were never empty or close to empty. Customer service A+.When I read the other reviews I expected the food to live up to the hype of the reviews people left, and the food did not disappoint one bit. Authentic Italian food is the perfect way to describe the food. The diavola pizza was spicy, cheese and tomato sauce was cooked perfect, crust and border was light and crisp, salame was tasteful, 10/10. For the calamari and shrimp, they were fried lightly and rated fresh. I would say the marinara different from most places, I don't really know how to describe it but I would prefer other marinaras at other Italian restaurants.For the penne cremosa, I enjoyed the penne pasta itself as it was not too flimsy or soft, instead the penne noodles were a little more rough. The white cream sauce was not over cooked, not too creamy, just right. However, there is a lot of mushroom in the dish so if you are not big on mushroom it will be a bit overwhelming lol. Not pictured which my girlfriend ordered was the tagliatelle with arrabbiata sauce. I'm not a big red sauce guy, but tasting her pasta I would order that myself. It had a little kick of spice in it and the flavor and seasoning in the sauce was just so appetizing. I would 100% come back to this restaurant and I 100% recommend this restaurant to any new comers and visitors like myself. They definitely deserve 5 stars for not only their authentic food but exceptional customer service.

Currently my favorite Italian Restaurant in San Diego. I came 3 times during lunch which is a few bucks cheaper than dinner, no reservations are needed, and street parking is always readily available.For starters I've had the followingTrio Alla Italiana - A trio of fried appetizers. Arancini - fried rice ball) Crocche - potato croquette Fiore di zucca - Zucchini blossomThey are all fried to perfection and very crispy and light. A great appetizerFrittatina - A cheesy bucatini pasta ball fried crispy. If you like Alfredo pasta I think you'd like this one. It was not my favorite, im not a fan of Alfredo sauce.Eggplant Parmiggiana - Baked eggplant stuffed with mozzarella and parmigiano topped with tomato sauce and burrata cheese. Very tender and flavorful. Its basically a vegetarian lasagna. Polpo e patate - Potato and octopus topped with lemon juice and olive oil. A bit too acidic for me. It was a delicious dish but the lemon juice was a little aggressive for me but it was perfect when I got a piece of olive which helped cut thru the acidity.Pasta - Choose your noodle, sauce and topping if you want.Taglitelle noodles with Cremosa sauce (brandy cream sauce, sautéed mushrooms, olive oil, parsley, pepper and oregano) with a meatball. The cremosa sauce is amazing and the wide noodles soak them up nicely, I haven't seen Cremosa sauce anywhere else. It sounded good and was an excellent choice the meatball also went well with the mushrooms that come in the Cremosa sauce too.Cappelinni noodles with Aglio e olio sauce, topped with shrimp. Cappelinni noodles were thinner than spaghetti but thicker than angel hair. The thin noodles allowed more surface area to soak up the Aglio e olio sauce, A very simple sauce of Olive oil, garlic, parsley chili pepper and oregano. Its one of those dishes that are super easy to make but very difficult to make very well. This version was amazing! It smelled of roasted garlic and went well with shrimp which was perfectly cooled.I highly recommend the pasta dishes here, both sauces were out of this world. Lunch/Happy Hour is a few dollars cheaper but also you can get in with out a reservation which can be difficult at dinner since the restaurant is rather small. Service was friendly and inviting. They have a good Vegan menu both pizza and pasta dishes. Id guess parking could be an issue during the evening since its all on the street. I had no problem finding parking during lunch hours.Lunch/Happy Hour 11-3They also have dessert cannoli, pana cotta and tiramisu. The tiramisu was amazing, not the wet soggy lady fingers that you usually get.I'll defiantly be coming back to try more of their amazing pasta maybe a panini for lunch or one of their main (secondi) dishes next time.

The waiter was attentive and the food was great! It wasn't too loud and it was also clean. They don't have a parking lot though so you just have to hope to get parking. Other than that it was a great experience
