Antica Trattoria is a warm restaurant with an old-fashioned sense of hospitality that quickly became a gathering place for dinners in Lake Murray and the rest of San Diego when it opened in 2001.

That's the kind of food he grew up eating by the seaside in Sicily and it's what he learned in culinary school in Italy.Why eat ordinary when you can eat extraordinary?About reservations: We have a 15-minute grace period.

    Great local place. Went on a busy night, however everyone was professional and friendly. Interesting concept to have the choice to cook your own steak. Half our group opted out and had kitchen cook;other half cooked their own. Overall a fun group experience. Timing is not the same as entire group making the same choice. So cooked steaks came out while cook your own, on a different cycle. Quality was good enough for us but not same as a high end steak house. Sides are really good. And unique. Caesar salad is amazing. Highly recommend. We will be back for sure.

    The food was marvelous Giordanos is my go to restaurant for all my celebrations! I love the food plus it is close to my home! The only drawback that night was the noise level! It was a bit loud in the restaurant. They might want to invest in some solutions for that! Other than that, the evening was great. Another suggestion would be to have a piano bar for occasions such as Valentines Day or maybe weekends! We had the 14 oz ribeye and the seafood food ravioli!!)
