Reviews
"Had an absolutely amazing dinner there tonight with friends. We are all very good cooks, so always very appreciative of excellent food. Everything we had this evening was prepared inspiringly well, which is not a common thing to find in San Diego restaurants. Two of us ordered one the specials, Eggplant Parmigiana. We were in agreement it was perhaps the best ever (and there have been many tried over the years!). Another had the Carbonara, which was truly a don’t-miss work of art. What the restaurant lacks in ambiance, it certainly makes up for in amazing food, excellent service, and warm and caring owners/wait staff. We’ll definitely tell friends and will most certainly visit often!"
"We started going to Alice’s about two years ago, and I have to say it is the best Italian that we have had ever! Alice’s and Carlo are absolutely so kind and accommodating. Their food is always on point and never disappoints we highly recommend a date night out at their restaurant. I would recommend making a reservation because they can get pretty busy."
"I read somewhere to find out how good a restaurant is, the test is order the simplest item on the menu. In this case, the lasagna and pasta. Alice passed the test with flying colors. The pasta was cooked perfect tenderness. The lasagna had a great flavor. It was obvious that they did more than the usual layering. I feel they roasted the tomatoes before marking it into sauce Same for their marinara, the roasted flavor of the tomatoes gave the marinara a richer flavor. But I could be wrong. Anyway it was beyond words. Got to go. The staff were friendly, restaurant happy vibes, busy and feels like eating at home but way better food"
"Excellent authentic northern Italian. The owner and family are from Milan. The dishes are excellent examples of Italian techniques using local ingredients. We shared the Polpette starters which was two good sized meatballs in marinara and three crostini. We could have used another crostini because we stopped up every vestige of the sauce, fantastic! The meatballs were very meaty with a firm sausage like texture, also fantastic. I had the Spaghetti Arrabbiatta with an Italian sausage. Spicy sauce, just enough, al dente pasta, very good sausage. My wife had the Caccio e Pepe and pronounced it excellent, not dry and very flavorful. We finished with the Cannoli, three ricotta filled, chocolate splashed, crispy cylinders of goodness. Too bad we live 45 miles away! But we will be back!"
"We thoroughly enjoyed our dinners. Both were delicious and the portions were very generous. The garlic bread was excellent, as was the tiramisu. They have a covered patio dining area. The staff was great."
