"I love going here! The food is always good, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. We let them know we were going to have a big party with quite a few small children, and they put us in the perfect location. We did not disturb other guests, but we were able to be our energetic selves.
There are a lot of great choices to choose from, and they usually come up with some great specials."

"We had a large party gathering following my husbands graduation cerimony. He just got his Masters Degree and we had family in town from Tacoma WA, Las Vegas and Orange County along with our immediate family that is all in San Diego. My husband selected Nicolosi's for his celebration dinner and we made the reservation and didn't have to worry about anything after that! It was great...service, food, everything was just wonderful!"

"Great food and people. A tradition in SD that has upgraded all the food offerings and salads too. Vastly better than the pseudo thugs at Antica whose food is ok one day, terrible the next---and service frequently rude."

"All was good but requested a table that was private and quiet. Placed us in the middle of everything/everyone at the entrance and it was obvious there were other tables we could have been seated at that were in a much more quiet area. All else was great though."

"NOT GOOD for groups with children! The atmosphere SEEMS very family friendly. The pizza and salads are excellent. We were in a larger party of family from out of town. There were four kids in our group and we were seated at a table very close to the other tables (barely any room to get in the seats). Our kids all had excellent behavior but there were a lot of older guests who were staring and making comments about kids being there. Plus, the service was very slow. Next time, we'll go to Buca di Beppo."
