My cucina has always been the center of the universe for my 3 daughters, 5 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, their friends, loved ones, and acquaintances – everyone was always Benvenuto!Now, we've brought that same love and flavor right here to San Diego. My beloved grandson, Niccolo', and his amore, Cesarina, are opening the doors of my Cucina with the same warm heart and passion.Wondering how I made it to 95? Well, it's simple: I ate everything that's served here and filled my life with amore! So, Benvenuti! Don't hesitate to indulge in "Scarpetta" - dip that bread into the sauce, just like my grandchildren used to do at the stove when they thought I wasn't looking.Here, Belli De Nonna, it’s all about food, family, and creating beautiful memories!

    My family and I had the best experience at Tidal. What a cute, quaint and peaceful Christmas Buffett dinner. The staff were very attentive and kind. They took the time to talk to us and despite it being a Buffett they offered to get us food items. We were there for almost 3 hours and it sure did not feel like it. The food was amazing, great seafood and even picky eaters were thrilled with the options. We sat outside at sunset taking in the beautiful views. Bartender even created a special drink for me. I try to take my dad to a new Christmas Buffett dinner every year ( we are local) we’ve been to about 10 different places, and the tidal hands down was bar far the best experience we’ve had. I will 100 percent go back.

    The food and service were great, the restaurant itself is lovely.the wine was delightful. The music was not great and too loud. Recommend surveying the crowd/average age/ vibes before choosing Italian pop music at Christmas.

    This is my go to for business lunches and special events. Food and service at or above expectations. The views are amazing. Selection and quality provides something for all. Custom food requests don’t seem to cause issues. Lunchtime parking is ample and has been free when we go. They may regulate parking sometimes so call if that is a concern. You can’t go wrong with the Cohn family of restaurants, with C-Level being one of their premier locations.
