" I had the pleasure of dining at Monzu, and it was absolutely delightful! The pasta was fresh and made in-house, which you can really taste. Their signature Carbonara was creamy and satisfying, perfectly cooked. The ambiance was charming, and our server, Daniel, was attentive and shared some interesting background about the dishes. I must recommend the pistachio cheesecake for dessert; it was unforgettable. Overall, it felt like a slice of Italy right in San Diego! Can't wait to go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful little Italian eatery tucked away from the usual tourist paths! Monzu has become my go-to for a cozy dinner. The pasta is made fresh daily, and you can really taste the difference. My favorite dish was the Trapanese pasta — it had the perfect balance of flavors. The service was friendly but could be slower during peak times, which is something to consider. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolute gem in San Diego! The fresh pasta made all the difference – it tasted so genuine and reminded me of family dinners back home. I particularly loved the Amatriciana pasta; it had a remarkable depth of flavor and authenticity. The ambiance was warm, making for a cozy dining experience. Would highly recommend to anyone! One note though; parking can be tough around dinner time, so plan accordingly. " (*Curated Review*)

" My dining experience at Monzu was delightful from start to finish. The food was authentic, with an extensive menu full of flavors that took me straight to Italy. I enjoyed the Carbonara — creamy and comforting and the way it should be! My only complaint would be the dessert, which was good but not as memorable as the meal itself. Definitely a must-try for any Italian food lover. I can't wait to return to try more of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! We stumbled into Monzu, and it became an instant favorite. The authenticity of the Italian food was evident in every bite of the delicious Amatriciana I ordered, which was perfectly seasoned with just the right kick. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and Daniel made our experience even better with his attentive service. I can't stop thinking about the tiramisu we had for dessert; it was the best I've ever had! Will come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a nice experience! We enjoyed a lovely meal at Monzu. The pasta options were diverse, and I decided to go with the lobster ravioli – it was rich and creamy! My partner had the Amatriciana, which was amazing as well. Alberto, our server, added to the enjoyment with his cheerful service. Overall, fantastic food and a pleasant atmosphere. I want to come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Monzu offered a nice meal and service, but I felt the pasta wasn’t as authentic as I hoped. I tried the carbonara, and while it had good flavors, the texture was a bit off for me. The ambiance was pleasant, although it did feel a bit crowded during dinner time. I hope my experience was just an exception, and I would consider coming back to give it another shot.
