I'm a native here in San Diego, I've been eating at Nicolosi's since the late 70's. Thru location moves the quality of the food has remained the same, top notch. The pizza I chose was sausage and anchovies (real Italian restaurants carry anchovies) and it is fabulous the perfect crust, the right amount of cheese and sauce. One of San Diego's best pizzas. The gnocchi was great in it's butter reduction, just amazing. The Chicken Penne Pesto was perfection. I highly recommend Nicolosi's. I'm leaving California soon and will be sure to dine here a few more times before that. Thank you.

The Manicotti was good but they packaged it together in 1 box with the sauteed veggies which completely messed up the flavor. The other problem was that there was no sauce on the Manicotti. Most restaurants pour a little sauce over the top. I used to go to Nicolosi's all the time when I was younger and it was much better. It was also a very small portion for the price.

We have enjoyed eating here many times prior to their move to Santee. We were expecting the same quality, portions and delicious food as normal, we were very disappointed. The pizza crust was horrible, burnt and so thin the cheese was the dominant ingredient. Unable to reheat leftovers in the toaster or regular oven, we had to use the microwave and it was just a chewy mess. We tossed the majority of it. The Lobster Mac, our favorite item, got significantly smaller and more expensive. It still tasted great but not as good of a value and since the pizza was a bust we had to try to split the small portion amongst us, unsuccessfully. All in all, we are truly disappointed. I don't know if I will be able to convince the family to come back. So sad.

The Lava cake is teeny tiny! So I'm guessing all the desserts are just as tiny. Pictures are very deceiving. I've had both the ravioli reg. And baked. I like the baked better. I get the cheese no meat I say that to say they don't put enough cheese in the ravioli, so it's mostly pasta. Prices are way to high. I will go back to my regular Italian place where they have good food good portions for less.

We've ordered from Nicolosis many times and they are consistently great. Our favorites are the Medium Sicilian Pepperoni (love those crispy pepperoni edges!) and the Medium Vegetarian without the broccoli. (I call in before the order and they take note of my request. Door Dash needs to give the option to remove items as needed. That would be great especially for those with food allergies.) We like the medium crust. The thin is too thin and sometimes a bit burnt. The thick is way too thick for us!
Anyway, the food is yummy and their service is friendly!
