★★★★★ 5.0 Serenity Johnson · Oct 2025

Right when you walk in, you are greeted by a calm atmosphere. While small in size, it is huge in flavor and Italian heart. My husband got the rigatoni, as requested by the waitress, and it did not disappoint! I got the margarita pizza, which had the most amazing crust, made in-house, and the cheese pull was cinema-worthy! My son got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. That was easily the best any of us have ever had. The chicken cutlets melted in our mouth. The butter and salt flavor were superb, and the dish didnt even have pepper in it, but you didn’t miss it! We also got the mozzarella garlic bread which also had a cheese-pull that was prize-worthy, accompanied by marinara dipping sauce. We went before the dinner rush, and it was nice and quiet with Italian jazz music at a desirable volume.

Stupendo!! The best gem in La Mesa. First time of many to come. Thank you Mrs Lisa for the lovely hospitality and wow, what a special dinner experience. Have to say was hard to decide with so many authentic Italian options. I ordered cannelloni and was so delicious in every bite. Husband order cheese ravioli and while he was still eating he started describing what he was going to try next time and who we would bring with us. Grazie Mille

Place is small and quaint. Just wish there was some white noise so you didn’t hear everyone’s conversations so easily. But the food is AMAZING! We could easily tell the pasta is made fresh as well as the alfredo sauce. For once, Italian food worthy of the price. The atmosphere was dim and there were little touches like the bread doilies and having our silverware not wrapped and that was nice. Waitress was fantastic as well and very attentive. I regret not taking pictures but they would not have served the quality justice anyways. We plan to return.

Hands down, my absolute favorite place ever. Food, atmosphere, service, everything! I found this gem during covid and have not stopped raving about it or visiting since. Lisa was, is, and continues to provide the most attentive service ever and truly knows how to make all guests feel looked after. The food is amazing, I’ve tried so many different things on the menu but my heart belongs to the rigatoni bolognese and the cheesy garlic bread. But EVERYTHING is incredibly delicious. The restaurant itself is quite small, very intimate, so definitely make reservations for the weekends as they will be booked!!!! Celebrated my birthday here last night with friends and was so happy that they too loved the food, the atmosphere, and Lisa!!! Some even earmarked dishes for their next visit! Nonno’s
