8. Piacere Mio

Reviewed By iCriticSD
Had to try Piacere because another review said it was better than Buona Forchetta. We were really excited. We had VERY HIGH expectations. Unfortunately, Piacere Mio didnât deliver and didnât even come close to Buona Forchetta. The food was ok, the hostess really sweet, the waiters professional and they did a good job. The food wasnât great. The vibe was boring and beige...more strip mall than fun or vibrant, The calamari was rubbery and fishy tasting, the pasta was over cooked and the meat filling in the ravioli had so much bread filling you couldnât taste the meat. The artichokes were on of the brewer dishes. The pasta didnât taste fresh made - more like it was frozen. The sauces were bland and didnât taste authentically italian - more Americanized italian. Maybe we ordered the wrong things or it was an off night. I will give Piacere another try. But I donât have high hopes.

I eat at this restaurant 2-3 times a month. The service in unfailingly good -- with a regular staff of waiters. If you like Italian food, this is your place. It is also friendly for families with children. And, on Sundays, you can get any pasta dish for $10 (regularly $15-20).

We ate dinner here on 12/25. We had reservations for 5 people at 1815 but due to an early arriving flight, we were a little early, but were still seated about 1800. Service was a little spotty, but I attribute that to the amount of patrons inside the restaurant. If you did not have reservations, the wait was about 1 hour and 45 minutes. For dinner we ordered: bruschetta appetizer, large entree of prosciutto stuffed chicken that served 4 of us, a childâs fettuccine alfredo, 1 maschio prosecco and for dessert a colossal brownie sundae. Total for entire meal was $84.55 w/tax. Food was hot and good.SoCalOregonian, thank you for choosing to dine with us at Buca di Beppo.

This restaurant tries hard and has some nice touches-magnifying glasses and reading glasses at the front for people needing visual assistance...I needed some good food which was non existent!The caprese appetizer was so-so, the chicken entree was so chewy I couldnât eat it. The server was trying but cannot overcome the food. The presentation was ok, but the taste and quaility below par.

Having dinner with a teenage grandchild is always a treat. The draw back at the Villa Capri is the tables are very close together and the noise level makes it more difficult for conversation. The service was good except he neglected to ask for a drink order. They do have outside seating but again noisy. The food is good. They usually serve pasta with a white sauce or a pink sauce. I have been here many times and this was the first I have had a cold red sauce served with the bread. It was delicious and I asked to have some with my pasta served warm which was great. The lobster ravioli served with pink was also enjoyed. The waiter chose the Cabernet wine and it was excellent. Pasta dishes are nearly $20 and up.Bread pudding a family favorite.

A charming little restaurant that serves great spaghetti & hot buttered bread with a beautiful side salad --close to your home if you live in Rancho Bernardo, California.Free Parking is available. The kitchen is really fast with its delicious production. The waitress is lovely & efficient, often the most pleasant person of my day!Even the ladies room is clean... imagine that! This place makes me happy.
