The best Italian restaurant there is in San Diego, the atmosphere, service, speed can not be match when you put everything together, they are the best.
Whenever I eat at Nicolosi's I always get the baked raviolis. I love the sauce- one of the better gravy's I've had besides my own family's. This trip we picked up a pizza to go for my wife's birthday. The meat lovers (I believe it's called or something similar). So many toppings and cheese was perfect.
My parents and I have been coming here for many years - even past locations of this restaurant. I now live out of state, but we make a point to visit when we are in town. Super friendly staff, great food, and a good value.
