Italian restaurants in San Diego

Italian restaurants serve sit-down dinners, casual lunches, and food to take home, from wood-fired pizza and handmade pasta to antipasti and grilled fish. Many also offer catering for gatherings and gift cards for anyone who loves a good meal. When you are choosing one in San Diego, ask whether the kitchen can handle dietary needs such as gluten-free or vegetarian requests before you arrive. If you plan a weekend dinner or a group meal, call ahead to book, since popular dining rooms fill up quickly, and ask whether takeout or carry-out orders need advance notice.
