" Truly a gem in the heart of San Diego! The lasagna is their signature dish and I can see why. It’s rich and packed with flavors, with perfectly baked layers of pasta and cheese. The service here is warm, just like the food, and it feels like stepping into an Italian family gathering. The vibe is cozy, and the staff is attentive. The only downside was the parking situation, which was a bit tricky, but worth the effort. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here last weekend, and it was nothing short of fabulous. The tagliatelle was stunningly good, so much so that I cleaned my plate! You can taste the quality in every bite. Only downside was the noise level during peak hours. A lovely dinner overall, and I'd certainly recommend it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Parma Cucina on a friend's recommendation and I was blown away! Their homemade pasta is clearly made with love. The lasagna was filled with rich flavors and not overly greasy. The atmosphere was very inviting, making us feel at home, plus the staff was warm and welcoming. I can't wait to go back and try other dishes from their robust menu. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! The homemade gnocchi and often-changing specials meant that I will have to keep coming back. Plus, their warm bread with olive oil prepared my palate perfectly. The staff was delightful, exceptionally friendly, and engaged throughout the meal. Great little family-owned gem I will cherish visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem in San Diego! The flavors of the food were perfectly balanced and made for a delightful meal. The atmosphere is homely, and the staff truly seem to care. Everything from the service to the meal presentation was exceptional. I would even drive from another part of the city just to experience the food again. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best lasagna I've ever had, hands down! The pasta was cooked just right, and the flavors were truly authentic. I also had dessert which was equally perfect. However, the place can get busy on weekends, which can slow down service a bit. Will definitely be back for another meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about this place from friends, I decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed! The decor was warm and inviting, and the staff was so friendly. I ordered the tortellini and was impressed by how well it was prepared - not too heavy, just right! We even tried the tiramisu for dessert, and it was perfectly balanced. I would highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)
