Slice of Eggplant Parm and Crime Scene pizza
Jennifer N.

Very solid pizza joint. Pizza is always fresh and if you order a slice (the Miramar is my fav and reminiscent of the Porko at the Bronx Pizza), they reheat it in the pizza oven before serving. It's always fairly easy to find a seat (there's indoor, outdoor, and outdoor bar seating). Very casual atmosphere, extremely reasonable prices for high quality food. Driving by you might think this restaurant relies on its stunning location by the lagoon but it holds its own and could easily stand against some of the more established pizzerias in town. There are always TVs on with the various games but it doesn't feel like a sports bar. Service is typically friendly.

There aren't many places to get a slice in San Diego especially near the beach (they also deliver to the beach). There's about 6 options of pizza but the red veggie was my favorite. The garlic knots were nothing the write home about but a good deal for 3.

Pepperoni and jalapenos

Pizza by the slice? Yes Please! I mean what else can you ask for? They have different varieties of slices, good combo deal. 2 slices and a drink or 3 slices for a drink at a great price. Ambiance is great, they got large TV to watch the game, beautiful scenery, beers & wine. Only gripe is the parking can be a challenge but once you get inside Buonasera, all your worries vanish.

Hawaiian
Hannah S.

LOVE their Hawaiian pizza. Those ham slices are so good. It's best eaten when fresh- when hot and out of the oven it gets a crispy bottom. Their spaghetti bolognese is also fire. It was sooo warm and steaming. Great amount of sauce + meat in the sauce. Garlic bread is decent, but not very garlicky and pretty dry. I would get it with a marinara but otherwise pass. Great salad too! Crispy Romain lettuce and a hint of feta on top. Great ambiance by the ocean. Plus afterwards you can stop for a coffee next door at Birdrock Coffee Roasters.

Perfect spot to grab a slice or a whole pie. Great location with delicious NY style pizza and a fun atmosphere. The outdoor patio has plenty of seating, a bar, and TVs to catch a game while you enjoy your meal. Definitely a great place to hang out with friends or watch the game over pizza and drinks.

Quick, relaxed spot near Torrey Pines to get a pre/post hike drink + bite. The service is speedy, friendly, and food is tasty! They have pizzas by the slice and price are good too.

Half Hawaiian half eggplant

We came here craving thin crust pizza and decided to try an 18" pie, half Hawaiian and half eggplant. We also subbed ham for pepperoni. The flavors were good overall, and we do like their thin crust style. Unfortunately, the bottom of the pizza was pretty burnt, which gave it a bitter taste and took away from the experience. That was a bit disappointing, especially since the toppings themselves were enjoyable. Love that they have seatings inside and outside. There is also a little bar station outside. The view is amazing! On a positive note, the staffs were very friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. I'd be open to giving this place another try, hoping the crust comes out better next time.

Small Caesar Salad $8 , fresh and abundant of cheese and croutons
Caitlin D.

I got the chorizo pizza-- it had sliced of jalapeño, some red onion, and crumbled chorizo that got all crispy ... so good! But not as good as my favorite the Buffalo chicken & ranch. It was nice for a change of taste. I don't think you can go wrong with any slice you choose. The pizzas are thin and crispy, with a good chew in the crust. They make them fresh in the early morning & yeah it sits in the case -- but they heat it up very well for you. It's not overly cooked or worse, cold! The slices are fairly priced and there's lots of seating available. Many people opt to sit outside in the sunshine, rather than inside. Service was good, the worker was kind and even brought the pizza out to our table.

Eggplant parm pizza
Monique T.

After a nice walk at Torrey Pines we popped on over to Buonasera for a quick bite. We ordered a large salad and an eggplant parm pizza. My first bite and my feet were doing the yummy dance! It was so tasty! I'm not a huge sauce person but it just went to good together! If you're an eggplant parm person you just might enjoy the pizza as much as we did. Service was friendly and fast and the line went quickly. We sat outside since it was so beautiful outside and the weather was ideal with the sun shining on my skin. I want to keep this place a secret but sharing is caring! You're welcome!

Came here after we attempted to hike Torrey pines but sadly it was closed. We were hungry and came here for lunch. Two small one year children and four hungry adults walk in and find seating outside. You order inside and they bring the food out to you. Weirdly, I didn't get a number or anything after I placed my order for pizza, garlic knots, and antipasto salad. They had a deal for 6 breadsticks for $7 otherwise it was $1.50 each. I was hoping to get the garlic knots earlier bc I was so hungry. I thought they were just going to grab it from the display window and bring it out. It ended up what felt like forever (realistically like 10 min lol) when they heated it up and give us marinara sauce to dip it in. It was so garlicky and delicious. I'm a garlic girl and I approve! We devoured the knots while we waited for the pizza. I was obviously pretty hungry otherwise I would have remembered to take a photo of the food. Oops. I didn't try the antipasto salad but my crew said it was good. I'm personally not a fan of iceberg lettuce. The pizza we ordered was a large half margarita and half Miramar. The pizza hit the spot. The crust wasn't too doughy and had a good amount of crunch to it. My favorite was the Miramar. The Gorgonzola cheese paired well with bacon. It was just what we needed to revive ourselves. We all took a long nap after from the food coma. I'm glad I got to try this spot.

BBQ Chicken
Jim B.

It looks like I'm an outlier, but I was not terribly happy with this place. It's quite small inside, with limited seating, but has a bit more outdoor seating. You stand in line and look at the case of about 14 different pizza varieties, but none of it is labeled in the case or on the menu board, and the guy serving up the slices does not look approachable and of course you don't wanna hang up the line while asking what's in every variety. All of it looks like it's been sitting there for hours or days. Then you go to the next station to pay and you have to tell them on the honor system how many slices you got. That guy was looking at his phone the entire time I was paying. I got the barbecue chicken and it was reheated, par-baked, stiff, and a bit dry, with minimal cheese and extremely small pieces of chicken, and not much flavor. The other people in my party liked theirs. I live in Italy half time so I'm quite familiar with good pizza. I would not return.

Margarita slice and meatball veggie
Bill K.

Stopped by for lunch after hiking Torrey Pines, what a beautiful hike and to top it off we got to see part of the Torrey Pines golf course. I consider myself to be somewhat of a pizza snob and I have to say this was some of the best pizza I have ever had. If you like a thin crust pizza that stands up well I think you will love this pizza. My wife and I had the two slice special along with two garlic rolls. I had a margarita slice which was one of the best I have ever had and the second slice was meatball and a few veggies, outstanding. The garlic rolls were on the dense side but when you dip them in the marinara sauce it was perfection. We ordered a couple to go to enjoy later

I stumbled upon this spot leaving Torrey Pines State Reserve & Del Mar beach. I was heading back…read moreto the freeway, passed a pizza spot and thought "too bad there isn't pasta" then I saw Aqua Mare, and that they had a happy hour. I can't tell you how many times I've been here since May of this year, and eaten a LOT of pasta, but also some pizza, and quite a few meatballs. I even told my office about this spot and we had 19 people come in. Dining as a couple or just hitting the bar is great, the chef is from.....Italy, I can't remember where in Italy but I recall it's a famous wine region. My girlfriend loves that both the Chef and the owner are Women, and straight from Italy. I really like her food. It is not easy to get fresh pasta, and she serves F R E S H pasta for every pasta (that I know of). There are other things like chicken marsala, and.....seafood, although I can't recall all of them, I know they have a seafood soup because I've pondered it. They do have great clams and mussels in a spicy tomato broth. But I have yet to try the seafood soup. For a large party, I think it's important to remember a couple things, they have a smaller kitchen, so it comes out in waives, but it's not very noticeable. And the price, you honestly can't beat the price. I'm gonna emphasize that last one a lot, you can not beat the price. The view is visible from both their patios and up to areas in their bar. My favorite thing here might be the pesto, and I add salmon to it every time. it's the perfect post workout food.

He seemed like he was in a hurry the entire night. We never received our complimentary bread and had to track someone else down to get it. I had the seafood stew which could have been better and my partner ordered the lasagna which was okay.

I invited a group of family and friends for a special occasion dinner that would be enjoyed and appreciated by a wide range of ages. Our orders included Focaccia gorgonzola w/pear: the plain focaccia itself was a disappointing texture, but the gorgonzola, pear, honey parm reg combo danced my tastebuds. The group enjoyed it too. Fried calamari: possibly the crispiest version I've had, yet calamari within the crispy coating was melt in the mouth tender. Also a group hit. House salad: appeared beautiful, fresh, and crisp. The dieter who ordered it was quite pleased. Pici w/bolognese: doesn't appear as such on the menu, but the cheerfully honored my request. It was a reasonable one because the do offer both components in other dishes. I first discovered pici years ago and feel in love with the texture of this pasta. I do prefer my pasta sauced a little less generously than this resto does, but I doubt that most would find fault with their delicious bolognese. Lamb shank: braised shank in a wine sauce was a hit with the birthday honoree. Pizza w/prosciutto and burrata: This was ordered with the addition of shaved truffles, and was shared by two guests who both swooned over it (they seemed to be happy when others declined their offer of samples!). Carbonara: The teen who ordered this also requested the addition of shaved truffles. He gobbled the entire dish, smiling the whole time. Tiramisu: Very kind of the resto to offer this complimentary dessert for the birthday guest who generously offered tastes to everyone at the table. It was light as a cloud, creamy, and tasted of a seductive hint of coffee which, of course paired beautifully with the cocoa powder dusting on the dessert. Service was attentive and professional. Very helpful. Because we were there on a Tuesday, the noise level in Sky Deck was fine: energetic, but not overly intrusive. Watch out for weekends though. That's the time the volume level pumps up so high that carrying on a conversation can be difficult. The wine list focuses on northern Italian wines, but does include some from other regions. The price range starts at mid-level and climbs to higher prices, like a sagrantino at $249 and a barolo at $499. The higher priced wines are, of course, wonderful premium wines (I love you, sagrantino, but have the same one they offer at home), and not for this evening. Yes, I can recommend this restaurant easily with the caveat of weekend noise level, which applies to all the restaurants in the Sky Deck.
