    One of the most authentic Italian restaurants I’ve been to in San Diego. The atmosphere at Ciccia Osteria feels warm, cozy, and truly Italian from the moment you walk in. The handmade pastas were incredible, the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even more special. You can really feel the passion and hospitality behind the restaurant. The mushroom flan is a must try, and overall the entire experience felt like dining at a small family owned restaurant in Italy. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food with amazing hospitality and a charming atmosphere, Ciccia Osteria is definitely worth visiting.

    Great ambiance with a set of great food. This was our third time back and we're already planning our fourth. The flavors are great and the decor/camping atmosphere just makes you feel so cozy even if you're out having a date night. Highly recommend to anyone. Just note that the menu rotates seasonally, so sometimes your favorite menu item might go away for a while.

    This was was second time @ The Red Door in 3 days, because this restaurant is just over the top! Luciano the owner and chef is absolutely an amazing chef and individual. He greets you with open arms and I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed! Robin will serve you cocktails and dinner with a smile and an incredible knowledge of every item on the menu! My favorites are the crab appetizer and Beef Wellington! For dessert, Banana Cream Pie!!! I've eaten at many restaurants throughout SD but none better than The Red Door. The food and experience is second to none! Also on the weekends they have a cozy club that aside from cocktails you can also enjoy the same great food they serve in the main dining room!
