We had a lovely time celebrating our engagement and our first night in San Diego at Ristorante Illando. Its a bit of a hidden gem, tucked up on the second floor above a pizza parlor. The twinkle lights gave it a magical atmosphere, and our ...

First, this little gem serves high quality food. Dont get fooled by the size of the little entrance cause the magic happens on the 2nd floor. The food is delicious and pretty close to authentic Italian. The portions are about right, but ...

I almost didnt see the entrance because it shares a building with another restaurant but once you go upstairs the vibe calm and the food was amazing. We got the Arancini and the 2 handmade pasta dishes Fettucine and Bolognese. Everything is delicious and the the service is so amazing.

My wife and I enjoyed a lovely dinner here! Would highly recommend! Beautiful atmosphere with lovely downtown views. The food was so flavorful and authentic, and the portions were generous. The waitresses were all so friendly and knowledgeable. We will absolutely be back with our friends and family.

We had an excellent experience here. We visited while on a business trip and brought a client here for dinner. ...

Ristorante Illando is one of my fav Italian spots to visit in San Diego. Sadly , pizza is only served Sun Thurs and we came on a Sat, so definitely recommend trying their pizza. ...

Cute little spot in an amazing part of the city. Service wasnt incredibly fast, but our waiter was SUPER friendly, making up for it. Food is absolutely divine for the price. The Lobster Ravioli is quite possibly the best pasta dish I have ...

I cannot comment on any of the food because I just came here for a nice glass of wine just before they closed. I will say, the customer service was amazing! And I mean amazing! Our waiters name was Uri or something similar and he was great. I will definitely come back to try their vegan menu, which looked delicious!
