"I need to remember to ask not to be sat in the bar area! I love their food so I'll give the stars for that but the service was awful!!!!! The bartender was our server and she was so concerned with her 2 people sitting at the bar that we were totally ignored!!! The 2 people at the bar were regulars or friends I am sure because the language the server was using I am sure she wouldn't use around regular customers. She took forever to take our order and we literally sat and stared while she went on and on with her bar customers/friends! We finally received our food and she ran by dropping refills at our table and ran off. She didn't ask if the food was ok or if we needed anything. She went right back to talking with her friends . Somehow our food took almost 45 minutes to come out but the only other table sat in the bar came in 20 minutes after us and got their food at the same time. We finally waved her down for boxes and wanted dessert but she dropped our check and ran. We had to call her back to the table to order dessert. We had several boxes and had to ask for a bag to carry them. Service was slow and not friendly. Carrabba's has always been one of my favorite restaurants but service has gone downhill so much! This was the second time I've been sat in the bar area and had horrible service. I never tip less that 50% because I know how hard servers work. This time I tipped exactly 20% and wanted to tip less! I may need to find a new favorite place for date night with the hubby!"

"Little Italy San Diego, California We haven't gone to Little Italy for a while and we knew we would probably eat there. We went around the peasant market for a while and decided to get Canollis at Zucchero. You have some of our favorite bakery good in San Diego. When buying these tasty treats we realized that we never have at Nonna Zucchero diner. We ate in most places in Little Italy, but never this establishment. I'm glad we're back to lunch. We had a fantastic and wonderful experience in the restaurant. The restaurant was busy, but we sat right away. Little Italy is usually very busy during the weekend. Our server was pleasant and was very attentive. The food itself was delicious. We ordered two appetizers. One was Prosciutto E Burrata (Prosciutto Parma with Burrata) and the other was Melanzane Parmigiano (Fried Eggplant, Parmigiano, Marinera, Mozzarella). Both were quite delicious and beautifully seasoned. Prosciutto was delicious. I chose the Costelette *Braised Short Ribs with Parmigiano Potato Puree). The short rib was well seasoned, delicate and perfectly cooked. The potato puree was delicious with the Parmigiano. Chuck decided to order the Gnocchi AL Pesto (Almond Basil Pesto, Sundries Tomatoes, Toasted Pine Not, Cream). I had a little bite of his dish and the pesto was tasteful and delicious. The Gnocci were perfectly cooked and were so soft and fluffy. The restaurant itself is a beautiful size and beautifully decorated. In addition to Nonna, their bakery Zucchero, which we had bought our Canollis earlier, but they serve other delicious bakery, coffee and gelato. We were a little too full to have dessert, but I know Thier Dessert is delicious. Overall, our experience with the first visit was great and we will return in the near future."
