    Reservation was not acknowledged though our group of 6 was seated quickly. Entree took forever to arrive, and food quality definitely not as good as usual. Have been here many times but if this had been our first time we wouldn’t ever return. Very disappointing

    Always the best of the best!! Welcoming and cheerful place with the best service in San Diego. Authentic Italian atmosphere and the food outstanding! Generous wine pours and large plates of mouth watering Italian cuisine. We always feel exhilarated in anticipation of our nights at Arrivederci’s!
