The Red Door

Best beef Wellington we've ever had. Tender and juicy steak wrapped in savory pastry with delicate and distinctive truffle flavor served with generous portion of vegetables. Lobster ravioli was one of day's special which was also very delicious. Served in mouth watering tangy tomato sauce not heavy cream sauce. Dessert, Sticky pudding with charcoal gelato (ice cream?!) was gooey, creamy and nutty... yummy!!! Our Server was super friendly and welcoming from the time we walked in the restaurant. Restaurant is decorated in European style, comfortable and cozy. Plan to return for an awesome meal again, and will recommend to friends and family.

The red door always delivers the best experience!Love the atmosphere, service and FOOD!!!! Thank you chef Luciano for a wonderful dinner!

Had a member of our party who doesn't eat cheese but wanted to try their flatbread. The waiter didn't even blink and cheerfully assured us they could swap out the pesto for marinara sauce and top with sausage. That flatbread turned out the star of the evening! Even the rest of us cheese lovers didn't miss it. Was also super impressed by their Beef Wellington. It was a perfect medium and tasty without being overstated. And buttery tender. Even if you're full try the spumoni! It's a chocolate covered ball that's comes out sliced in half on a plate. Ice cream at restaurants can be hit or miss. This was a home run. Richly flavored but not overly sweet. Oh so good! Cozy interior vibe. A fantastic night out for the eyes and tastebuds.

I love it! Such depth in flavor and wonderful staff. I loved the martini and the mixed drink the bartender prepared. Beautiful ambiance on a Friday night. I loved the pappardelle and ragu and the flatbread with mortadella

In short, amazing! The food was outstanding. I ordered the lamb shank, my gf the beef wellington, and cleaned for the appetizer. The portions were great. The flavor on both dishes was out of this world. Everything was balanced and my gf and I both admitted it was one of the best meals we'd ever had. We had reservations and were seated promptly. The service was good, but did hands to ask for a water refill. The dessert was the sticky toffee, also delicious. The owner/chef came out and spoke to us too for a while. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

My son loves their beef wellington, cooked to perfection. Adequate side dishes. I loved the seafood pasta, good size and amount of seafood. The only thing though is the bread service is served upon request only. The resto was not busy, we came for an early lunch. Love the ambiance and decor making it feel like you are in a family resto, very low key set up. The toffee pudding is always a great choice for desert. We got a comp truffles for my son's graduation celebration. That was thoughtful!

From calling and making the reservation to dining and eating at this restaurant this place was absolutely phenomenal! I accidentally made a reservation for 2 when I needed 3 so I called and asked and even though they were completely booked they were able to accommodate me and my family and made a spot for us! Once we got to the restaurant everything was clean and organized and the staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable on the menu. There are items that are subject to change daily and I really enjoy that! They focus on fresh food made with love! Every dish we ate was so delicious and even when my wife didn't enjoy the salad they still made a dressing for her that she would like. This place is beyond accommodating! I will continue to go back and support this restaurant! Thank you for the wonderful first time experience!

The food was amazing as always. Chef Luciano was fantastic at explaining his dishes of the day. He is always so attentive. Their most popular dishes are the beef Wellington and the short rib. I have had them both and totally recommend them. The place was packed and lively. Nice decor and ambiance. Service was very slow this time compared to other times I have been here but it was Friday night.

Hello Fellow Yelpers!If you are visiting San Diego or if you live in San Diego then The Red Door is a strong recommendation for authentic, fresh, and delicious Italian food. The ambiance is beautiful and versatile. It can be a place for a romantic dinner or for time with family and friends. It can accommodate any occasion. The owner, Luciano is the chef and he takes great pride in every meal. He's personable and invested in the quality and experience for every customer.Mario was our waiter and he is absolutely amazing. He's efficient, professional, attentive, and has great energy. I did not take a photo of every meal ordered because it was so delicious I forgot to take out my phone lol I had the lobster ravioli and it was creamy and light and oh so delicious. Everyone raved about their dishes. As a dessert we shared a banana cream pie and OMG it was delectable. It is a shareable dessert for a 2-4 folks.

Pros:+ great service + MEAT LOVER'S MAC+ PAPPARDELLE+ Beef Wellington + ORECCHIETTE+ Wellington fashioned + cute and intimate setting Cons:- street parking Super cute place in San Diego. Highlight was definitely the pasta! Would recommend for a date night :)
