This is my FAVORITE restaurant. The Gnocchi is to die for. The Insalata Isabella is amazing. The staff is outstanding and the atmosphere perfect. It's not cheap however.

Beautiful peaceful area above Point Loma. There is a lighthouse and a museum on sight as well as momument. But the best part is it looks out over the beautiful San Diego Bay. It is so much fun to take a picnic and sit on the wall and watch the naval planes land and take off.
