Antica Trattoria is a warm restaurant with an old-fashioned sense of hospitality that quickly became a gathering place for dinners in Lake Murray and the rest of San Diego when it opened in 2001. For Executive Chef and Owner Francesco Basile, good cuisine is about honest flavors, fresh ingredients, and simplicity. That's the kind of food he grew up eating by the seaside in Sicily and it's what he learned in culinary school in Italy.Why eat ordinary when you can eat extraordinary?About reservations: We have a 15-minute grace period.

    Wormwood never disappoints. The wagu tartare and the onion tart were delicious, as well as the appetizer madeleines and the parker house bread. The scallops are very much worth it too. The champagne we chose was very good but it would be nice to see some Cremant options that are a little below the champagne price points . Wolf in the Woods and Wormwood are my favorite restaurants in town.

    Aromi is one of our favorites! The food is consistent good and the service is great. We are so thankful to have such a great restaurant option in our local neighborhood. The featured item is the “ wheel”. They rotate a pasta option and create the sauce by torching the cheese wheel and coating the pasta with the melted cheese. This is done table side.

    Noise was high as we had to really lean in to converse at the high tables, however there was a female Asian server with dyed hair that made our experience absolutely amazing. Food was great, churros were bomb, almost a perfect night except the noise level and how packed/cramped it was in there. That as the only fault I could find. Really great place to come like a upscale dive bar.
