Nationally-acclaimed Juniper and Ivy-consistently ranked "Best of the Best" by San Diego Magazine, and recognized as a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand establishment-is a foodie paradise on the edge of San Diego's Little Italy. The kitchen delivers a constantly rotating, chef-driven menu that uses hand-selected, seasonal ingredients crafted with precision, passion, and creativity.

From the OpenTable editors: This Little Italy mainstay is responsible for upping the neighborhood’s culinary cred.

    This was our second time having dinner and didn't think it could be better then the first, which was outstanding. Ambiance, menu, service - all excellent. We can't wait for the next time and the surprises on the menu.

    Typically our experience at J&I is exemplary. This visit was mediocre at best. The staff was far more concerned with pleasing the suits/tourists/conference attendees. Always disappointing to us locals who keep you in business during non-tourist times.

    Absolutely wonderful in every way. Each dish was delicious - a party in my mouth. The drinks were equally excellent. It’s not cheap, but it was definitely worth every penny. We will be back again and again.
