Our goal is to merge the dogmatic approach of Roman cooking with the amazing abundance of ingredients available to us in San Diego. A True Roman Holiday In SD.

    This is my favorite restaurant in San Diego. The ambiance is amazing - floor to ceiling tequila bottles staged like art, the food is AMAZING, and the service is impeccable. One of the few places I bring all my clients to when I’m in town.
