“Good decent fresh pasta”
I had a nice dinner here a couple of years ago. The pasta was fresh and tasty, there were plenty of options for my picky friend, and the service was good. It's also fun when visiting to see a group of gay people. It's a decent choice if you're in the gay neighborhood, but not worth a special trip.

“Great place”
Living in Phoenix, I often look forward to visiting Arrivederci when I'm in San Diego. The servers have strong accents, the cuisine is excellent, and the setting is enjoyable. It's a genuine Italian eatery with a wonderful vibe.

“Ambience Meets Pasta”
While the food isn't mind-blowing, it's quite good. The restaurant is in the center of Hillcrest and ideal for people-watching. Ask to sit on the patio. They offer a fun, affordable wine selection of Italian wines, and the handsome, charming waiters even catch my attention.

“Great food, decent prices.”
I've been a regular for years. The owner is frequently present to correct your Italian. My favorite dish is the chicken lasagna, and a friend of mine highly recommends the duck salad.
