This place was such a classic la Jolla vibe. We got to sit inside but they do have a good amount of outdoor patio seating with heaters. Located on the third floor of a shopping mall.

For food we got the arancini, cauliflower, sausage and kale pizza, the tagliatelle and the duck orecchiette. I also ordered a really yummy Pinot noir from Santa Barbara. The highlights were the cauliflower and the tagliatelle for me.

Service was a little slow at times but overall was good, multiple hands on deck. Food is always yummy and unique dishes are offered. Views are great if you time it right with sunset.

Delicious fresh pasta & pizza! We got the tagliatelle all a portofino & the Italian meat pizza. It was good portions and we shared it. Definitely have to come back to try the other dishes. Our server was very nice and the staff are all very friendly and attentive. I recommend booking a reservation as once sunset hits, it does get quite busy. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and both are Instagram-worthy.

Everything was so good! Seasonal menu but must gets from my visit are the arancini, sunchoke pasta, and the nutella semifreddo (or just the dessert trio!).
