Arrivederci Ristorante

The pasta meals in here are amazing!! They are so good at making things in here that is why I love going back here for more, the food is fresh and very tasty.

Without a question, my favorite Italian place in San Diego! Seriously, this is my favorite Italian place.

You may be wondering, "why is this his favorite place?" My answer to you is...I don't know. I can't tell you exactly, so let me give you a few reasons...I love how quaint the place is (it is very small), I love the food, I like the staff and their attitude toward customers, I like the feeling inside (just like I am sitting in Italy, and I like the inexpensive mediocre wine (if the wine was spectacular, this place wouldn't feel so authentically Italian).

You have to give this place a try, you will love it.

Simply delicious. I have to say it is one of the best Italian restaurants that I have ever been to, if not the best! Really yummy pasta dishes. The strawberry napoleon dessert was also delicious. Very reasonably priced. Gets very busy so definitely make a reservation. Give yourself some extra time to find parking.

I have never had a meal I didn't absolutely loved. The shrimp with pink peppercorns is the favorite of the moment. Prior to that I loved the lobster...everything they serve is incredible and very different flavors. Not like most italian restaurants. Arrivederci is in a class of their own!

I love going here for their Minestrone soup on a perfect day... Everything on the menu is delicious, even the bread that they give to begin with. It's on one of the popular streets for Hillcrest!

I really like the gnocchi as well the rest of the great selection of Italian food they offer. They do take reservations still, which is a blessing because they can get really crowded since it is such a small place. The ambiance is great and they have cute Italian waitors! =)

This place has the most amazing lobster ravioli. I have been here four times and it tastes better everytime I order it! This place has a real home town itialian feel with clean bathrooms. Just about everything on the menu is good.

We had an excellent meal recently. There was plenty of people watching available. While it is not white linen table cloth the food is great, the atmosphere is energetic, and the prices are very reasonable. We'll definitely be back for some more great pasta.

P.S. they valid parking for the lot right behind the restaurant.

If you're looking for Italy in America, you've found it here. I came here after hearing a friend rave about the food and the ambience of the place. I really enjoyed it despite the fact that I had reservations for 9PM and I had to wait for 20 minutes. I figured that I was going to an Italian restaurant and if it was really authentic, then it was going to "feel" like I was in Italy. The place had the "aura" of the small Venetian cafes where you can order massive plates of pastas. I had one of the cream pastas specials with Amaretto - it was delicious. Accompanied with Shiraz red wine - mm! It was wonderful. Despite the wait, it was a worthwhile adventure and great evening!

Oh my wow! The food here is absolutely amazing! We went to this restaurant because of a recommendation from a friend. It was so so worth it. I had the tortellini with ham and peas, which was a perfect balance between salt and sweet! My friend had their salmon ravioli with cream and caviar, which was incredible. This place is so good that we are grabbing lunch their today. Oh, and we took home a cannoli that was delish too!

We had such a cute date here! It's not too fancy, but much nicer than a pizza parlot -- the perfect date spot. It's a little "lively" (and by that I mean noisy), but we had the best pasta and the best wine and the best time. Ciao!

This place is always mobbed when I go. It is a very fun little place that has the flair, excitement, and ambience of a restaurant in Rome. The hostess, and some of the wait staff appear to be genuinely Italian. Very fun.
But the food is truly average, in my humble opinion. To be fair, my ex-girlfriend loved this place. She ordered Osso Bucco every time we went there. And the Osso Bucco is pretty good. But the Lasagne and Ravioli were quite wanting. Typically, they overcook everything--which would explain why the Osso Bocco is so good.
They have great values on Italian wines, and you really feel like you are in Italy when you drink enough of them.
Worst of all, this restaurant is DEAFENING. It would be perfect for an intimate meal if it weren't so loud.
So, yes, I enjoy it.
But I always say that I don't intend to go back. Remember, lots of people love this place!
