Description:
La Jolla's version of the reliable neighborhood hangout is this pasta-centric trattoria, a couple blocks inland from La Jolla Shores. You're likely to be surrounded by a crew of regulars that pop in weekly and know the staff by name. You won't feel left out, however, and the food is well priced. The lemon herb-roasted chicken and bistecca (rib-eye) are fantastic, but it's the pastas that parade out to most tables. Try orecchiette bathed in gorgonzola, grilled chicken, and sun-dried tomatoes, or pappardelle "fantasia"--shrimp-crowned ribbons of saffron pasta, primed with garlic, tomato, and white wine. Those who are concerned with carbo-loading can substitute spinach for pasta. Beneath the romantic sprawl of an enormous ficus tree, the outdoor patio is always ideal, thanks to the cozy heaters.

TOO LOUD and busy
-
We sat in the bar and ordered a few appetizers (because there were no tables and we didn't have a reservation). The server only came by once or twice, and the bar was so loud...

Great pasta, OK pizza
-
The pasta with tomato sauce and house made sausage was really tasty ( freshly made sauce!), but pizza crust was not crispy at all. Would return for more pasta, though.
