"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."
