" Excellent! A well-deserved 5 stars! The hidden gem we stumbled upon in Hillcrest exceeded our expectations. The pasta was hearty and made from scratch, which is something I highly appreciate. The ambiance is lovely and provides a warm, welcoming atmosphere perfect for good conversations. Our server made us feel at home and was quite courteous. Can't wait to bring my family on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere in Tavola Nostra truly feels like a slice of Italy right in San Diego! I was really impressed with the authenticity of the dishes. We ordered the Caponata, a classic Sicilian dish and it was such a delightful mix of flavors. My friends and I also shared a few pizzas, and I must say—the crust was so light and crispy, it was unlike any other! Additionally, the staff went above and beyond to make our night special, which I deeply appreciated. I will be recommending it to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Tavola Nostra for dinner, and wow, what a fabulous experience. From the rustic decor to the warm greetings from the staff, the place exudes charm. We tried several appetizers—the calamari was fresh and not oily at all! For the main course, I had the eggplant parmesan, which was both hearty and comforting. The wine selection was robust and helped elevate our meal further. Despite being busy on a Saturday night, the service remained attentive. Can’t wait to come back and explore more of their menu!

" Had a great time at Tavola Nostra! The ambiance had a charming vibe to it, great for families and date nights alike. The pizza was amazing, the dough was flavorful with the right amount of chewiness. One criticism I have is the prices are on the higher side, but then again, the quality reflects that. Overall, a solid pick for Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Tavola Nostra! The vibe was delightful, very cozy and worth every bit of the price paid. Our server was most pleasant and enthusiastic about the menu. The cheese board was an exceptional start before we embarked on the pizza adventure, and I left feeling very satisfied overall. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! Tavola Nostra offers some of the best Italian cuisine we have tasted outside of Italy. We opted for the Pinsa and the Ravioli, both of which were flavorful and well-prepared. The attention to detail in their dishes really showcases the restaurant's commitment to authenticity. The staff was attentive but not overwhelming, allowing us to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. The seating was comfortable and the overall vibe of the place felt family-oriented. Highly recommend for anyone looking for genuine Italian food in a relaxed setting! " (*Curated Review*)
