Came to this San Diego old school Italian staple for a double birthday dinner, and other than the price tag, (it's fine dining, so definitely worth it) it was a fabulous experience. Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, Penne Isidro and two orders of amazing lasagna with a side of meatballs (not pictured). We haven't been here since the sale by the original owners, but I'd say it's actually better.
Prices are on the high end and the parking is horrible (might want to Uber next time), but we will all be back someday, either as a family or with new friends.

Everything’s was perfect from starters to desserts. Loved every bite and the restaurant atmosphere was so beautiful. Definitely going to visit again. And oh, you don’t want to skip the lobster bisque. Also, freshly ground pepper really does enhance the flavor of everything.
Highly recommended.

For a fine-dining Italian meal that'll make you feel like you are in Italy instead of Convoy District, I'd recommend The Godfather. The selection of dishes and quality of the food is exceptional, and the service is outstanding. Then save room for dessert.

Family and I go here for classic Italian food and atmosphere. Food has excellent flavor and the menu is very complete. I always recommend waiting to hear the dinner specials before deciding though. The full bar complements the dining experience and the wine list carries very nice Chianti choices.

Love the old school vibe, delicious food, and fantastic service! Free corkage when we went for lunch on Tuesday. The service was impeccable. We enjoyed our linguini and clams, filet mignon, and shrimp scampi ala Godfather.
