"I had the pleasure of visiting a charming little Italian restaurant yesterday. After being warmly welcomed by the owner of this family-run establishment, we were promptly attended to by our waitress, Sam (short for Samantha). She was not only well-versed in the menu but also knowledgeable about the ingredients and preparation of the dishes. We began our meal with Calamari Fritti, and then I enjoyed the daily special, veal piccata, while my wife opted for Tortellini alla Boscaiola with cheese tortellini. Both dishes, along with the appetizer, were absolutely delightful. To top off our meal, my wife chose a lemon cake for dessert, and I ordered the classic tiramisu, paired with a robust black coffee. With its clean and inviting atmosphere, excellent service, and authentic Italian cuisine—all at reasonable prices—I was transported back to my time in Rome. Grazie mille!"

Excellent food. Their tiramisu is a must have for dessert and complement well with their espresso.

Absolutely loved this place! Loved the management and the servers. And the food was amazing! I was eating here a few nights when I was visiting from Los Angeles where I live. I ended up ordering everything haha! Love everyone and love this place I will be returning again when I visit San Diego again!

'Stella DID get her groove back!! ' Under new ownership and management, I can tell the new owner takes great pride in his restaurant bc it shows in the food and services. The fresh ingredients from freshly made pastas to one of a kind salami chocolate dessert are impeccable. It 's as close to having dinner in Italy as you can get. Every month the restaurant has a dinner event which happens to be tonight! Enjoy 5 courses with wine pairing for only $60/person. Come tonight and experience the authenticity of Italian food in San Diego. We love this place so much so tipped the waiter $40

"I adore this restaurant. Golden Hill is filled with many many quality eateries, and Counterpoint anchors the neighborhood with it's fun atmosphere and dedication to quality. They recently renovated and the new space is open, airy and provides a variety of seating options: bar seating, restaurant seating, and upper balcony (I use this as a quiet place to WFH during the week), and an outdoor patio. I'm partial to the biscuit and gravy for breakfast, but the brined chicken and waffles or breakfast hash always makes me smile and sends me unto the world with a better outlook on life and a doggie bag. When it's hot, delicious crunchy salads are on the lunch menu and the craft beers and unique slushy flavors change. Counterpoint takes the quality of food and libations seriously. The craft cocktails rotate as the bartenders are encouraged to explore and grow. The owner and team are always warm, welcoming and make sure you have a good experience. Did I mention they are DOG friendly? Definitely worth the trip up the hill from downtown if you're looking to wind down after an event or precharge and eat before a baseball game. I love to bring my friends for a snack (try the olive selection) and chat on a twilight night. Space heaters outside if you get cold. Fans inside if you get warm. Honestly if you live in or are visiting the 92102 area code you should go to Counterpoint: good food, really good cocktails, and great company. It is clear that this establishment cares about quality, cares about your comfort and loves if you have a good time."
