"Our server was excellent. She had many tables to manage, but she did a great job! I believe her name was Marion...she is Italian! The busboy was a bit shy, but he did a great job for us! We never ran out of water! The Caesar Salad was the best we have ever had, the bread excellent, and the main courses both outstanding and very large. We had a lovely evening, and highly recommend this Italian restaurant"

"Best dinner of the year! AND we eat out every night, so saying this was the best dinner this year... that's saying something. Came here last night for a date night. We have been a few times previously. My wife wanted the surf and turf for two. So, that's what we ordered. At $60 it seemed like a bargain. It featured ribeye steak, crab cake, cauliflower, green beans, rainbow carrots and garlic mashed potatoes. It was served with sides of remoulade, bearnaise and demiglaze. First off nothing was pedestrian about this plate of food. I have no idea what kind of green beans they were. They were long, flat and wide. Kind of like a Lima beans in its shell, but tender and sweet. There was cauliflower that had bright white tops but green stems. Never seen that before. Carrots were rainbow colors. The steak was seasoned perfectly, maybe had even been brined. Tender to the point I didn't need a knife. The star of the show was the demiglaze. Literally the best I have ever had. So good that I asked the chef if he made it himself. I was disappointed to find out the answer was yes. I was hoping it was something that I could procure from some specialty shop. But no. Only a chef with extreme pride in the craft would go to all the effort to make a demiglaze like that. That same pride echoed throughout the plate. The mashed potatoes as included. Not too rich or fat laddened, yet full of flavor and a perfect accompaniment to the veggies and the steak. We ended up having an apple crisp for dessert. It came straight from the oven with a big scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. It gilded the lily. Everything was amazing. And, I got a small amount of demiglaze to go. In the end, I found the specialty shop I was looking for. ?"

"Let me start by stating that this review is by no means a reflection of the service or the quality of food we received. It is a reflection of this establishment not vetting their new hires more thoroughly, thus causing a very stressful atmosphere for my wife's birthday dinner. On Feb. 4th, 2024, my wife chose Trattoria Trullia as her go to for her birthday dinner, as she has many times in the past. During those visits the service and food was always top notch. However, this visit was different. See, my wife works at another restaurant over in Cardiff, which sits right on the beach, and she as well as some of her fellow co-workers were the victims of sexual harassment. A fellow co-worker had been under the influence of drugs and was grabbing his fellow female coworkers inappropriately. This person was immediately fired. Imagine my wife's distress when we arrived at Trattoria and he was now employed there. She sat through our entire meal, while not saying anything to our group for fear of ruining her the dinner vibe and causing a scene. This was HER birthday dinner. He had even come to our table and bussed a couple dishes in close proximity to her and then promptly, kept his distance. She only informed me of her distress after we arrived home. I am sure you can only imagine how absolutely infuriated I was upon learning of this. Having grown up in Leucadia and patronized this establishment many many times, its saddens me that I can no longer recommend this establishment to my friends or family until this new hire no longer works here. I would ask that this establishment vet its new hires better."

"--- This place offers the best gluten-free pizza in the area! They also have great vegetarian options, including vegan cheese. If you have dietary restrictions, you'll be pleased to know they cater to gluten-free and dairy-free needs. The service is takeout only, making it a convenient choice for dinner. Expect to spend around $20–30 per person. I highly recommend it for vegetarians, as all vegetarian dishes are clearly labeled on the menu. --- Let me know if you need any adjustments!"

"We’ve dined many times at our favorite North County Gastro pub. I’m happy to report, they are back of their previous level of excellence in food, ambience, and service. I had their gumbo which was expertly seasoned. My wife had the shrimp and grits, her perennial favorite, which remains excellent. Service by Rachel Was spot on, friendly and punctual. This is a classic North County Gastro pub, I frequently bring out of town friends to get a sense for a classic San Diego eatery. Highly recommended. "
