Il Dandy

We had a family dinner here and everyone really enjoyed their food. It has a beautiful ambiance with white and blue and an open modern appeal. The wine was excellent and paired well with the food. Highlights from dinner were definitely the seasoned pork meatball antipasti in white cheese sauce and the paper steamed fish which was cut open tableside releasing steam and a delicious aroma. The beet risotto was tasty but certainly on the al dente side. The mixed seafood plate was also good and overall I'd definitely recommend the Italian style seafood here.

If you're in San Diego you have absolutely to try this experience called Dandy, a new Italian restaurant with a menu very interesting, something different in the city. The atmosphere is relaxing, it's a modern space with a design that remind you the Mediterranean Sea, the fishermen, the sailors, and citation of 900 italians avantgarde. The food is delicate, I tried the tuna mozzarella, amazing, the octopus spiedino, the pizza crust is so tasting and light. I would recommend you the beefcheek ravioli with egg yolk and lemon and the salmon Al cartoccio. Service Is friendly and attentive and all this made our experience more than satisfactory!

Just look at this new extravagant Tiramisu'. I can't even. So good and special, so fresh and novel. They just changed the menu at the beginning of August. The spaghetti were maybe better before (I'm not a sea urchin aficionado) but the majestic Cavatelli di Grano Arso al ragù are still there. And my heart overflows.

Stopped by as I restaurant hop around the area. We sat at one of the small tables by the bar. I can't remember our servers name but he was very nice. We ordered a Rustichella Pizza. It was soooo good and I washed it down with a glass of wine. The decor is beautiful and the servers are dressed nicely. Can't wait to return.

Sleek and elegant - but comfortable -decor makes this a great place for cocktails and bites. Interesting flavor and taste combinations served by helpful and knowledgeable staff. Operated by the family who own Civico in Little Italy Good deals during Happy Hour - wines, Aperol spritz etc - and snacks. Loved the calamari, olives and truffle pizza. Regular menu Is pricy. Indoor and outdoor seating. Tough competition across the street from Cucina Urbana.

The Gallo brothers have done an amazing job with their new concept. The food is delicious in every way. The hospitality an attention to detail is worthy of a Michelin star. And, once again, their vegan menu is unlike any other. Do yourself a favor an treat yourself to a meal there. You will be happy you did.
