Davanti Enoteca - S San Diego

This was my first time dining in at this restaurant! It was for Mother’s Day! What impacted me the most is how the front desk handled our reservation. As first, they told us it was going to be a little bit of a wait and they could put our name down and send us a text when it’s ready. We then proceeded to wait until we received our text that our table was ready. We got a text we headed back to the front desk immediately. As we were walking back, I noticed that we also received a call from the restaurant letting us know that our table is ready. I’ve never experienced a phone call for our reservation being ready at any restaurant I’ve been to it stood out to me the most.Our wonderful waiter/server (Rohan) was friendly and outgoing and went out of his way to make sure me and my family was well served and needed anything else to fulfill our dining experience.The food was more than what it was expected. It was so good and delicious!I thank everyone from the reservation to the end our dining service!Thank you Rohan for being so great to us and my family of mine. Making us feel so welcome for dining in this restaurant as it was our first time!. We will For sure come back and bring more family to get to know this delicious restaurant!! Kid-friendliness: The waiter at our table in the time of us dinning understood kids well served and understand their order from start to finish. Thank you everyone for making us feel not just friendly, but all that was on that table.Thank you server's and staff

Always our pleasure....this is our happy place!We'll be back on June 21 st. We're looking forward to sitting in the same place again!Special thanks to our Mexican friend Alin Olvera!

On Sunday the 28th of April, a friend and I visited Little Italy for Art Walk. After strolling for a while, we were ready for lunch. As you know, the choices in your neighborhood are many. We chose Davati Enoteca, having never been there. [We are fairly new to San Diego.]We were seated at one of the tables at the end of the bar [I'm guessing around 11:45-noon]. It was not so busy but soon would be. We waited for what seemed a long time before a waiter arrived; if she told us her name, I do not remember. I ordered a Virgin Mary and my friend ordered a coffee, which arrived but my cocktail did not.The waiter returned to ask if we were ready to order something to eat; my friend was hungry, so we did. He chose Eggs Benedict and I chose the meatballs. By now I am really feeling ready to build my Virgin Mary at your ****** Mary bar, so I asked the bartender if I might have a glass and he told me our waiter would bring it. Hmmm...that's what I thought.About then, my meatballs arrived but no Benedict for my friend. Our waiter passed by, and my friend inquired about his Benedict and was told it would be out soon; so he suggested that the meatballs be kept warm in the kitchen until his order was ready. The waiter said she could not do that because the kitchen was small. I think the looks on the faces of my friend and me suggested she change her mind, so she took the meatballs away.The bartender must have overheard this exchange, because he came around to our table with a glass and ice and a little water and escorted me to the ****** Mary bar, highlighting some of the options for garnishing my drink.When I returned to our table, our orders were just arriving. I don't know about you but I like a cocktail, or two, before I have lunch. Alas, not today. Your waiter missed an opportunity to upsell as, had things flowed differently, I would likely have had a second Virgin Mary.Needless to say, with the exception of the helpful bartender, our experience was seriously lacking.A couple of days later, I decided to call and speak to a manager. I was only able to leave a message, as when you call the options do not include actually speaking to a person, which only added to my annoyance.The general manager did call me and left a voicemail message, then followed that up with an email message. After missing each other's calls, I chose to put in an email message to the general manager what I wrote above.End of conversation. No further word from general manager.So when in Little Italy in San Diego with its many options for a drinks and lunch or dinner or just drinks, Davanti Enoteca should be passed by.

Fresh vegetables good service nice atmosphere what else you want

THEY CHARGE AN 8% NOMINAL FEE! Make sure you look for it. Otherwise, our server was great and the food is nice. Aside from the brazen retaliation against a minimum wage increase which could have been a price increase, fish and chips are awesome and the guiness is fresh on tap.
