Very good Italian in Lakeside. Not everyone makes a good arrancini, and Ottavios is among the best I've had. Their portions are ample, the flavors are very good and the bar serves substantial cocktails with a lively atmosphere.
The service was excellent 👌
Very attentive and nice. When I asked if they had cherry Pepsi (which they dont) they were able to accommodate by putting cherry juice in the Pepsi, which was better than what I wanted. We order a sausage calzon, the bread was so buttery and flaky! Highly recommend ! The giant one was enough to feed 4 people ! And the pizza was delicious as well. Definitely would love to come back.
You can tell the owners love good food. We are never disappointed with the options at Ottavio's! They have a perfectly curated menu that always seems to have something new and exciting to try out. Though they do a great job of keeping their classics around. Don't worry if you are someone who loves to always order the same thing. They will have it for you, no worries.
A little Italian gem in our east county of San Diego is my favorite Italian go to restaurant. Indoor dining or on the outdoor covered patio, both are great choices to enjoy your dinner. The interior has large framed black and white photos of past Italian movie stars, boxers and baseball players and sports memorabilia. A square shaped sit at counter for drinks or eating alone facing the bar. Best wood fired pizza here and when I'm short on money their spaghetti with meat sauce with fresh in house baked bread for $10.99 is a real winner but I love their authentic lasagna. If you like Italian you'll love Ottavio's
Besides the wonderful food, my favorite thing is how happy every employee is! Oh, and Meatball the cat is a treasure.
It is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in San Diego. Food is awesome. Service is great. I really enjoy the newly extended patio. I wish they allow pets on the Patio like Oggi's and other places. Very much recommend this place in east county.
Oh my gosh the Brussels Sprouts were amazing. We also shared the cream pesto chicken. Very good. The service was amazing. We will go back.
