Piazza 1909

Might be my new favorite pizza! I love spicy salami pizza (pizza Diavola) and I usually go for isolas for that, but I think this place might be better. The crust definitely was and the rest I think also has the edge. Service was really good and attentive so no issues with that. Ambiance is nice for small parties or dates. We are outside which was comfortable and quiet. The branzino was good overall. Didn't amaze me but it was good and what I expected. Cooked well and no bones. And the sauce was good. Probably will experiment with other food next time though. The free bread at the beginning was very good and had olives mixed into it. Not a huge olive guy but it was good. Overall I'm very happy with this place and I'm definitely going back.

Very disappointed in my experience since we were also celebrating our Anniversary. We came 30 min early as we had a reservation and when we showed up I asked for a table in the front. The hostess would only seat us in the back because we chose that online as I explained first time and would like a better outdoor seating arrangement. She told me the back is great and her favorite.Let me explain the real estate seating - very few people eating, the 2 front sections empty and where I asked she said oh they all have reservations till 6-7pm. When we left there were still about 5 tables free that we could have sat at. Ok it was a small table in the back like no air ventilation or anything and we were greeted by a rat that came out of a hole and stared at me where he quickly went back under the floor. There were tons of gnats everywhere and of course since towards the back they had pots of vegetables all over a table like it was Armstrong garden center. The food was ok, North Italia tasted better and since it was our Anniversary the establishment didn't congratulate us or acknowledge. Now I'm not one to be hey you should give me something for that but at least give me a white glove perfect experience since I chose to eat there instead of other places on my list.... Very disappointing, I would not come back. Also, I'm ordering an expensive charcuterie board and you ask if I want bread with it not even telling me that it is a charge. $4 extra and I really thought it was part of the board.. shady place!!! The bread was stale too... The only thing worth mentioning was the sangria. Also why put us next to a group of people while the whole area was empty!

We hosted a rehearsal dinner and brunch at Piazza 1909 for our wedding. The food was excellent and Roberta and her family are incredibly friendly and helpful. I really can't recommend this place enough--their food is better than surrounding restaurants and their prices are lower and very reasonable. We got tremendous value from our events and everyone had a great time.Their tiramisu in particular is delicious and we had several amazing pastas--Tagliattele alla Bolognese, Pappardelle di Mare, and Ravioli di Magro. Apps were great too (calamari, bruschetta, and polpette).If you're looking to do an event or just have a nice meal, go here.

We come here often and it never disappoints! On our last visit we came as they were opening for dinner. It was a little chilly but they had heaters on the patio which actually makes it warmer than sitting inside. Great service and delicious food. We had refreshing cocktails and bread for a great start to our dinner-yum. I always order the veggie pizza, it's no longer on the menu but you can still request it. Best pizza dough cooked exactly how I like it. The veggies are crispy fried to perfection. This is my all time favorite pizza in San Diego. The salad was really good, too. Crisp fresh greens, garbanzo beans, beets, pumpkin seeds and of course the salad dressing always makes the salad...Our server was on point and provided excellent service. Will be back, as usual.

What a wonderful restaurant! This place is very deceptively large and we had a spot in the back that was more away from everyone. Very romantic!We had their salami and burrata/polenta starter that was very tasty. Their alcoholic version of a Shirley temple was divine!Their diavola pizza was phenomenally spicy and their homemade gnocchi was fantastic.We finished off the night with their ricotta cheesecake. You NEED to try this. It was so very good!!!Special shout out to Lorenzo who was the BEST. Apparently he is the owner's son and it was great to find out this place was family ran. You can tell they put care into it and the food!Parking can be a pain because it's La Jolla but if you're patient you'll find a spot.We will DEFINITELY be back and plan on having our rehearsal dinner here it was so yummy.

Fabulous food, setting and service!We brought our ocean swim club here and all 19 of us gave the Piazza team a bravo and 5Star thumbs up!

Piazza 1909 is seriously one of the best Italian places I've ever been to. The vibe there is really chill, and the spicy Peperoni is amazing. The flavors were on point! If you're into Italian food, you've gotta check it out. I'm definitely going back!

Italian food is easy to find, good Italian food is harder to find. GREAT Italian food is a gift. What makes it great are recipes from generations past made with the same care and attention to the details. Piazza 1909 is GREAT Italian food combined with genuine hospitality that reminds you how wonderful it is to share a meal with the people you care about.

Amazing food, service, and great vibes/ambiance. Very nice scenery to add to the wonderful tastes of the pasta, pizza, and even steak.

One server for the entire restaurant. Glacially poor service.They start the dinner off by asking you what water you want, then surreptitiously charging you for still water.Avoid this restaurant.
