Decore

Fantastic dinner spot near the gaslamp district. Went in a group of 5 and they were able to accommodate us quickly. Service was great, checked on us frequently and food came out quick. Espresso martinis were prepared perfectly. The food had great portion sizes and tasted amazing. Shared some calamari and meatballs which were very well prepared. Rigatoni pasta that I got was tender and flavorful. I think everyone in my group left feeling content with the choice and impressed by the service and food. Would recommend!

Such an amazing intimate Italian restaurant experience kind of off the beaten path in East Village. The complimentary rolls/bread were a great starter, the pizza was delicious and filling and my friends ravioli tasted so good! Friendly, attentive service as well. Highly recommend when in downtown San Diego!

I came here with my boyfriend and we have discovered the best Italian food here! The restaurant serves the most authentic Italian food that opened our eyes, and everything we have tried is absolutely amazing! It was my first time having tartare and I was blown away. Same for the tiramisu - it was so delicious! The service is incredible as well. Our server was very attentive, nice and professional. We found this place while we were on a trip in San Diego, but we will definitely come back every time we visit San Diego in the future!

When we first arrived for our 6 PM reservation, I was slightly taken aback when the host reminded us that our reservation was for a maximum of 90 minutes, and we were the only people there. But once we sat down and started receiving our amazing food, the restaurant filled up, and I can see why. The dishes are exceptional, nicely presented, and interesting. Service was spot on. We’ll definitely be back.

I can’t rave enough about this restaurant. Such a hidden gem in east village. This is my second time eating at Decore and the food and staff were phenomenal! We had the burrata to start, then oxtail pasta, then the butternut squash/goat cheese/honey/arugula/ etc pizza. All were a 12/10. My boyfriend and I will be back!! Also to mention is that the staff makes you feel at home and will tailor your drinks and food to your liking to ensure you’re satisfied.
