Piacere Mio Del Sur

It had been years since my family and I ate here, and I'm glad we decided to visit again! The moment we walked in through the doors, everyone was very very warm and welcoming - super enthusiastic, as if we were guests in their own home. The environment was bright and open. It wasn't too crowded and everything was clean and neat.The food was great as well. We got polenta with mushrooms and cheese as an appetizer which had the perfect blend of flavors and textures. I ordered the beef ravioli with mushroom sauce- perfectly al dente, with amazing flavor that wasn't too salty. Then for dessert, we ordered the day's special which was the espresso creme brulee. The only complaint is that the sugar wasn't torched well/melted &solidified, BUT it still tasted delicious regardless. The fruit was sweet and it tasted similar to coffee ice cream!Overall, would highly recommend and can't wait to be back again (:

We found Piacere Mio over five years ago during a visit to San Diego. We were looking for an Italian restaurant with house made pasta but what was a revelation was its pizza - it has a deliciously savory crust. Every trip to San Diego since, we make a point to go to Piacere Mio for its pizza, and if we can, we'll even stop in before we leave to take one for the road.As much as we love the pizza, we wish Piacere Mio's service was up to par. It's always middling to poor. On our latest visit to San Diego, our first stop was to Piacere Mio on a Monday night. After a long drive, we were looking forward to dinner. I went inside and excitedly said to the young woman at the hostess stand: "Hi! How are you?" She just blankly looked at me without a smile. I asked for a table for two, and asked if the patio was dog friendly. She dryly answered that dogs were permitted in the patio but that a table in the patio area was not guaranteed. We were eventually seated in the patio area and waited awhile for our server to come and when she did, she did not greet us. She just asked for our order, which we gave. She delivered my husband's drink without a word. Our food was delivered by other servers, also without a word. We never saw our server again until we were pretty much finished. She did not offer us dessert, but just asked if we wanted a box for our leftovers. I don't think we've ever had such completely indifferent service. It's really disappointing, as we wish to have more enjoyable experiences here.

Came here on a Wednesday evening. The place was packed so knew it had to be popular! The staff were friendly and the food came out timely. The bread they served prior to dinner was complimentary but it was a little on the dry side and lacked flavor if I'm being honest. I ordered the bolognese with handmade pappardelle pasta and it was cooked perfectly al dente and was delicious. I will definitely come back to try more menu items!

I'm a big fan of Piacere Mio in South Park and have tried out the Del Sur location two times. Friendly greeting upon arrival and frequent water refills. I was here recently this week with some friends to celebrate a birthday, and we shared the calamari appetizer, which was delicious. I had the barramundi with homemade pappardelle. The dish was a little bit mild for my taste, but I pepped it up with a lemon wedge that was on the calamari dish. All of my companions enjoyed their pastas. The birthday girl was treated to a complementary Panna cotta with a birthday candle and birthday song. We also ordered a cannoli and a tiramisu, both were devoured!

I would rate this spot 3.5 stars!I visited this restaurant on a Thursday night just to grab a drink and snack with my friend, not a meal. It was packed. They didn't have any bar seats available at the actual bar so we were seated at a small counter by the oven. Ordered a glass of the fallanghina and an aperol spritz. Shared a tiramisu. Fallanghina was good, standard white wine. The aperol spritz was really good! Sweeter than usual. The tiramisu was also good, nothing to rave about though. Service was quite slow and they weren't paying us much attention - waited a while for the check. I would return and try their dinner offers to update this review!

This one is truly a hidden gem in Del Sur . A remarkable Italian restaurant with cozy interiors and an outside covered seating porch area. The servers are very entertaining. We ordered their firewood pizza and seafood pasta alongside red wine and vanilla cream flavored beer. The pizza has fresh tomato sauce layering with additional toppings. I would have hoped the pizza base to be a little crusty . The seafood pasta was very fresh and flavorful. All in all great dining experience.

This location is much better than the one in South Park for many reasons: PARKING, big beautiful restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, a great menu, and delicious food. All of the pastas we got were aldente, the sauces were full of flavor, and the price point was right. The service though was awful and I mean truly just so bad. We were the first diners of the day and our server didn't greet us with any smiles or even a hello, just said we could sit anywhere. Our order was finally taken after a while with who I assume is the manager or owner? He was Italian. He took our whole order without writing anything down. He was talking so fast and we felt so rushed so of course he got our orders wrong. One of our dishes was entirely wrong after we waited a long time for our food to come out. This jumble caused the wrong items to be on our check so we had to get that sorted out after an already long lunch service. They did give us a complimentary panna cotta which was tasty. 4 stars because everything else about the restaurant was amazing. Service needs improvement.

This place was absolutely DIVINE~~~ We got a reservation for mother's day at 7:30, and we were seated around 7:45. The service was the highlight of this experience, the waiters were so nice and friendly and really made the experience worth the trip to Del Sur. Everyone was so sweet and made sure that we were well taken care of. The food was also prepared well and was delicious. The highlights are definitely the tiramisu, which was perfect and the arrabiata and pesto pastas. Their fresh noodles are awesome and authentic and i left that place completely full to the brim in a great way. this place is awesome if you're celebrating mother's day, or looking for a nice italian dinner for you and a date. the inside looks very new italian/ californian italian core restaurant. would come back again!

This place is great! Love their brick oven pizzas...crust is so doughy and good. Great service, nice prices for wine bottles and good menu selection of pastas, pizzas and appetizers. Also you can't go wrong with an apperol spritz before dinner, wine during dinner and an espresso martini after dinner.

If you like Italian food this place is ANAZING. Their lasagna, pastas and pizzas are awesome. I also love their eggplant Parmesan plate.
