" Visiting Gaetano's was a fantastic experience! The pizza was out of this world, with a crust that was perfectly crispy and toppings that were fresh and flavorful. Their marinara sauce was beautifully seasoned too. The place has a nice family-oriented atmosphere, and the staff were very welcoming. I can't recommend it enough for pizza lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gaetano's is a solid choice for comforting Italian fare. Our family had the pepperoni pizza, and it did not disappoint. The crust was crisp, and it had just the right amount of cheese. The only downside was the noise level—it could get quite loud, especially during dinner service. Still, I would recommend it for a casual family night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Gaetano's recently and thoroughly enjoyed our meal! The service was nice, and the food was delicious. We tried the garlic bread, which was fantastic, and I had their special shrimp scampi that was very satisfying. I highly recommend their desserts as well—they were a great end to our meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Coming from New Jersey, it's tough to find authentic Italian food. Gaetano's blew me away! The chicken marsala was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. The portions were enough to take home, which is always a plus. This will be my go-to Italian restaurant when I'm in San Diego. Can't wait to come back to try the other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my dining experience at Gaetano's. I tried the seafood linguine, and it was fantastic! The restaurant has that cozy Italian feel to it, and the servers were warm and friendly. However, my friend’s chicken dish was a bit bland, but the pizza looked great. I'll be back for sure to explore more from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience at Gaetano's! The pizzas are incredibly delicious—perfectly crispy crusts with flavorful, high-quality toppings. I also loved the chicken parmesan, which was juicy and perfectly moderate in size. Service was quick and friendly, truly making it a welcoming place. I can't wait to visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to dine at Gaetano's after reading some rave reviews, and I was not disappointed! The vibe here is cozy, and the decor is charmingly dated, which adds to its character. I had the eggplant parmesan, and it was delightful, laden with melted cheese and a rich sauce. Service was friendly but could be a tad more organized. Overall, a lovely meal, but I'll bring my appetite next time since the portions are quite generous! " (*Curated Review*)
