⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an incredible experience at Romanella Cucina! From the moment we arrived, everything was wonderful. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was inviting, and the entire experience made for a truly memorable visit. A special shout-out to Diego and River, who made the evening even more exceptional! Their service was outstanding—attentive, personable, welcoming, and genuinely thoughtful. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It's clear they take great pride in what they do, and their warmth and professionalism really made a difference. Great food is one thing, but exceptional service is what makes you want to come back again and again. Diego and River are true assets to Romanella Cucina! Highly recommend this restaurant. Five stars all around! We'll definitely be back!

Love this restaurant. I have eaten here for years. It never disappoints. You are served by waitstaff in tuxedos which adds such class to your dining experience. All the food is delicious. The Godfather cocktail is a must have.

Very busy for a Monday evening. All was the usual high quality. Fun date to park, watch the sunset, and then take the short walk here for dinner. A few good restaurants right across the street if this one is full. I had the veal piccata-delicious!

As usual, Frederico and Chef Luis make dining at Dora Ristorante a joy. The food is outstanding, the service is impeccable, and our prix fixe dinner was well worth the price of admission. Thanks to the entire staff for another wonderful evening. A & S P.S. Do not miss the bread service with caponata!

Baci is one of our favorite restaurants in SD. We especially enjoy the delicious food like their specialties; swordfish, calamari and the local Spiney Lobster which happened to be in season!! We love the dining room that makes you feel like you’re outside in a Tuscany vineyard garden. Very relaxing atmosphere. And we can’t forget the attentive staff who are professional and friendly.
