Oltre Mare - San Diego

Had the ravioli special and it was fantastic. Can’t wait to come back.

We stumbled on this amazing little place on accident. Let me tell you, it will now be a place I go to every time I am in So Cal! The ambiance, the service and the food highly exceeded my expectations. I feel the price of dinner was well worth it! The food portions and flavor are perfect. Thank you for a great dining experience!

So my gf and I went here for dinner, and we were really impressed with everything. The restaurant looks like it 's a small house, which we were surprised about initially... but that in itself is the appeal for eating here... It looks, smells, and feel like Nonna 's house to quote my gf who is Italian. The wonderful garlic smell was what I noticed first, and atmosphere wise it 's loud and lively, think family get togethers like Thanksgiving. I had the garlic pasta with clams, it had amazing flavors and the spaghetti was cooked perfectly al dente. My gf had the wild boar bolognese... It too was perfectly cooked and flavorful. For dessert I recommend the Panna Cotta, you will not regret it! Everything about this place was top notch, service was great too, everyone was very friendly. It 's BYOB here... Which also adds to the feeling of going to eat a home cooked meal at someone 's grandmother 's house. So bring your favorite drink whether it 's wine or beer, and prepare to stuff yourself with deliciousness.

The owner greeted us at the door about ten minutes before opening on a Friday night. We had no reservation but she happily seated us. The service was excellent and so was the food. Definitely coming back again on our next trip to our favorite city!

Small place with handmade pasta, focaccia and other comforting dishes. Unassuming, yet delicious. Staff is great. Highly recommend.BYOB
