About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Benvenuti Nella Mia Cucina, Belli De Nonna! Before we dive into the delicious feast prepared for you, let me give you a little taste of my vita. I was born in the heart of Rome, and I've been cooking up a storm my entire life! My cucina has always been the center of the universe for my 3 daughters, 5 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, their friends, loved ones, and acquaintances – everyone was always Benvenuto!

Now, we've brought that same love and flavor right here to San Diego. My beloved grandson, Niccolo', and his amore, Cesarina, are opening the doors of my Cucina with the same warm heart and passion.

Wondering how I made it to 95? Well, it's simple: I ate everything that's served here and filled my life with amore! So, Benvenuti! Don't hesitate to indulge in "Scarpetta" - dip that bread into the sauce, just like my grandchildren used to do at the stove when they thought I wasn't looking.

Here, Belli De Nonna, it’s all about food, family, and creating beautiful memories!

    The food was fantastic as always. Unique flavors with the honey on the 4 formaggi pizza. Service was great. The servers here are ALWAYS kind, informative, and attentive. I truly love it here.

    Cute but a bit overpriced. I think we could cook better Italian food at home but their cocktails are incredible.

    Wow! What a gem of a place. I liked it so much, I just booked it for Mother's Day! The food was incredible. Our waiter, Luis, was the funniest, most charming guy. Had a lot of fun with my girlfriends!!

    Best overall restaurant experience we’ve had in a long time. Staff are welcoming and friendly, timing of course delivery was right on (a skill lacking at many restaurants these days), food was excellent.

    We had a family dinner for 8 and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The servers were thoughtful and answered all of our questions, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was very nice. Would definitely go back.

    GREAT BRUNCH!!!! I have been to Elvira many times and absolutely love this exceptional restaurant, but this was our first brunch there. I had high expectations and they far exceeded it. This is now my favorite place for brunch in San Diego. The food is incredible and the brunch cocktails are ridiculously great. We each ordered a different dish and shared and each one was incredible. I made a return reservations before we even finished eating. Elvira is one of the best dinner restaurants in San Diego and it is for brunch as well. Do yourself a favor and go to Elvira for brunch or dinner.
