The food, service, and ambience were perfect. I celebrated my birthday here. Making a reservation was easy. They charge, I think, $13 or something for a cake fee but that's okay for the convenience. The food was so good. Homemade pasta. They give you the options of which pasta goes best for each dish. Portions are generous. The service was wonderful. Pablo was an excellent host. He was so patient with our large party. He took the time to take our orders and answer questions. I enjoyed being called "Mama" by him. Lol. Migh... read more
Absolutely delicious! Did a Google Review search for best Italian Restaurants while on vacation in San Diego for my son's birthday and found Cucina Basilico! We were a bit nervous when our driver stopped at a strip mall and not the Little Italy district, but oh my goodness...the charming space, the more than excellent customer service and the fresh, house made pasta and desserts were all incredible! The owner even brought a dessert and candle out for my son's birthday wish, which was so, very kind. Thankfully, the atmosphere... read more
We were visiting from Louisiana. Search my map for an Italian restaurant. Found Cucina Basilico at the next turn. It was a great choice. Very friendly, explained about the difference in their pasta. Food was served in a reasonable amount of time and was delicious! Would recommend stopping by. Great food for a hole in the wall family restaurant.
HOLY HELL- DELICIOUS I haven't even paid the bill yet, but had to review this place immediately. After struggling to find parking for 20 mins in Little Italy, we found this place; 10 min away with a bountiful parking lot. The waitress brought us over a display of homemade pastas and once we ordered, the food came out what felt like instantly! Oh My God everything was so freaking good. After my meal, all I could say was "oh my god" The pasta was sooooo soft and tender. Top tier! And prices were not even unreasonable! Servi... read more
Absolute tip-top Italian food in SD. Pasta is fresh and handmade. Bruschetta was outstanding as an appetizer! I had the Polpette pasta was phenomenal, we also had the Pesto pasta with chicken and you can, with all of these dishes, taste the freshness in every bite. Every time I come here I leave with a full appetite and a smile on my face. 10/10 would recommend
