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!

    We came to Elvira to celebrate my friends birthday, and it was a great night! They were running 30 min late for our reservation, but brought us drinks to sip on as we waited, which I appreciated. The food was amazing, our waiter was cracking us up the entire time, and the wine selection is really good. They treated us to a dessert for my friends bday, and took a cute Polaroid pic of us to take home. We are excited to go back and try their brunch!

    We came here for our anniversary dinner and had a magical time! The fettuccine dishes were incredible and flavors were amazing. We had an affogato as well and were so happy with it! Service was so warm and welcoming. They create such a transporting atmosphere! Very romantic and fun.

    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.
