Best Family Style Restaurants in San Diego

Food and service were both exceptional. Highly recommended and worth five stars. Only issue was noise since we were seated outside (planes fly very close overhead). Also a bit chilly sitting next to the screen, which doesn’t go down all the way so cold air comes in underneath. Better to sit inside at the high tops if tables aren’t available.

First time visiting Cacio e Peppe and we are definitely coming back. They have a kids menu which is very practical for families. My kids loved their pasta! Everything we tried - salad, bread, pasta, wine - was delicious.

Exceptional food and service. The garden patio is a delightful space and our server, and all support staff, were so warm, knowledgeable and professional. This was a first visit, but certainly not the last!!

Maybe it’s because it was a Sunday but we waited about 20 minutes to be seated even though the restaurant was about 25% full. Once seated, the service was good and four of the five dishes we ordered were very good and reasonably priced. Interesting food combinations but not the place to go to if you want a salad.

What an outstanding brunch experience - all the toasts are amazing with housemade bread. You need to get the chocolate babka and the basic breakfast is anything but basic, with pork belly bacon, sesame toast with housemade ham, herby potatoes and eggs your way. I’m surprised it’s not more crowded. Usually space for walk ins and right next to the Hillcrest farmers market.
