Gasper and Brian who greet and treat every customer like family dining in their own home!!!
Binaifer K.

Went there twice this week, always taking a new friend. Today I would rate this 5*plus!! We went for a long and leisurely lunch, and I saw one of the many diehard fans who was also there earlier this week. Brian and Gasper gave us the same spectacular service and this time we tried two new dishes from their specials. So delicious, and as always, their warm bread is divine!!!

Polpette de la casa. Meatball appetizer.
Ryan M.

Came early on a friday evening. Place was empty but had a few more tables as we left. There was a lot of parking as its located in the strip mall with Grocery Outlet and Natural Chicken. I got the Polpette De La Casa (meatball) as an appitizer, there were 3 meatballs in marinara sauce topped with sliced parmeasean cheese. The meatballs weren't hard but could have been softer. The meal came with bread that was nicley toasted and olive oil and balsamic, but i chose to dip the bread in the marinara sauce, it was much better that way. For my entree i chose the Linguine Alle Vongole (Linguini with clams) in a white wine butter sauce. The noodles weren't soft but i did wish a little more firm. They might have been in the softer range of al dente. There were a lot of clams but the sauce was missing something, can't really put my finger on it, but it was a bit bland. Service was good as they checked on us multiple times and refilled waters but it was a really hot day and the AC was not on and they just left the doors open. Most of the seating is inside and a few seats outside, maybe i should have opted to sit outside.

Pesto with pistachios and salmon.

First impression as I sit here preparing for lunch with a friend the ambience forced me to order a Hugo spritz wi lunch. It's a Friday and that Italian vibe of chill afternoons and no rush is infectious in this space... OMG post meal? I want to bring everyone I care about who likes good Italian food to this little family run spot. The service was as excellent as the ambience which was as phenomenal as the food, especially with this hot weather it reminded me of an Italian summer day.... and my leftovers by the way? Just as phenomenal! I can't wait to come back for a date night or bring my Sicilian in-laws.

The service here is wonderful. They were so welcoming. You must try the Fish Special if available. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a meal with your family. They have both indoors and outdoors seating.

Stood at Paradise Point and wanted to find a restaurant for my birthday dinner. I was fully prepared to spend money at a waterfront steakhouse or something else but I had my toddler with me. Found this spot with great reviews and decided to try it. WOW !!! Amazing food, and service was excellent!! Extremely affordable and good portions. I never leave reviews but I just loved this place so much!! A must try!

Prosciutto E Burrata
Brianna M.

My boyfriend and I came here before attending an event at pechanga arena! Really sweet place tucked away in the strip mall near dennys. The waiters/waitresses were very attentive and let us choose the pace of our dinner. We started off with bread in a basket they give for free with oil and balsamic. Then we got the burrata and prosciutto. You can tell the prosciutto was incredibly fresh and really it seemed like sliced right then. I got the linguine alle vongole that was fantastic with a really nice portion of clams!! My boyfriend loved the Alfredo sauce arguably one of the best Alfredo sauces we have ever tasted. Ambiance was good we went a little early so wasn't super packed but really just had a nice experience.

Steak

I ordered steak takeout on Thursday evening, the steak was completely burnt and inedible. Even the sauce and the mushrooms tasted off. I have ordered this quite a few times and never had this horrible taste before. I'm not sure if they have a new chef but I'm really surprised that they actually let it out of the kitchen.

Met a friend here for lunch at her suggestion. We arrived at 11am when they opened and was seated at a table in the corner by a very nice waiter. I ordered the orecchiette pasta with sausage meat and it was delicious. The portion was a good size. Since I got full on the complimentary warm baguette with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, I ended up eating only half my pasta and took the rest home. It was even better the next day!

Lunch specials - Orecchietta Con Salsiccia and Spaghetti Con Polpette. Yummy !
Jen E.

Fun Fact: the restaurant name means "Pieces of my Heart" - Three decades of restaurant experience centered in a cute, cozy, Italian restaurant in Sports Arena, opened earlier this year in 2025. I came here 10 minutes before the restaurant opened and the owner welcomed me and my friend in right away. With inside and outside options, we decided to sit outside on their patio to soak up a little breeze and San Diego sun. I love Italian food - the comfort of pasta, wine, friendly conversations and warm hospitality and this place hit those aspects. I loved that they have lunch specials, with generous portions. I got the Spaghetti and Meatballs and wow it did not disappoint. The dish came out hot, and spaghetti was perfect al dente. Marinara sauce was delicious - made with olive oil and basil on top. The meatballs are made with 100% angus beef and you can taste the quality - very tender. I also got to try the Orecchiette Con Slaccia - ear shaped pasta with Italian sausage, broccolini, tomatoes in a white wine cream sauce. WOW - just the perfect amount of cream - not too heavy and delightful to devour. Most of all, one of the owners - kept checking in on us and was just so sweet. He talked about the generations of cooking, love for Italian food, recipes.. I really hope this place gets more traction - come visit them and give them a try for delicious food with great hospitality.

Orecchiette Con Slaccia (top) and Cheese tortellini (bottom) - both were delicious!
Tammy L.

My friend and I went there the evening before Thanksgiving and we had an absolutely fantastic meal. The servers were great. One server suggested a couple of the seafood items, but I was craving something other than seafood and he provided other suggestions, which were perfect. We ordered the cheese tortellini and the Orecchiette Con Slaccia. I don't know which one I enjoyed more, they were both delicious. I had a glass of the Meritage red blend and my friend had a glass of Chianti. They sang happy birthday to another party dining at the restaurant. It was really sweet. I highly recommend Pezzi Del Mio Cuore.

carbonara
Catalina G.

I would give this place a solid 3.95. The food was good, however it lacked a little bit of flavor. The service was great. Parking was very easy. The ambiance was pleasant, it's a quiet spot for dinner. It wasn't the best italian food i've had but it was good enough.

Although a couple members of our party were running late, we were still able to be seated. The dining area, although small, was very quaint and charming. Service was good. I had a grapefruit spritz as my drink. The color was a beautiful blush pink. The drink was citrusy and refreshing.  For our starters, we had the calamari and arancini. The calamari was very good. It was lightly crispy and perfectly seasoned. The squid was tender and cooked well. In addition to squid, there were also a number of fried shrimp and peppers scattered throughout the plate. One order of arancini came with 2 balls. The arancini was also very good. The complimentary bread was also delicious and fluffy. I had the ossobuco alla milanese, a slow cooked veal shank served with a Milanese style saffron risotto. The veal was tender and flavorful. The risotto felt authentic and was cooked al dente. A handful of my friends got the risotto al funghi porcini, which was also flavorful and al dente. I also really liked the carbonara and fettuccine gamberi e pancetta. I really enjoyed my meal at Ristorante Illando and would gladly come back.

Since it was a birthday, they prepared a table side, complementary tiramisu with fresh espresso and mascarpone and that was SO GOOD! The only issue is parking. Truly a headache.

It's such a charming spot and definitely feels like the perfect place for a date night. For our first course, we ordered the Calamari, Cesare, and Cacio e Pepe Croquette. Everything was delicious! The Cesare was perfectly dressed, the cacio e pepe sauce was incredible, and the calamari was lightly battered and cooked just right. We even dipped the calamari into the cacio e pepe sauce--and surprisingly, it was such a good combination! For our entrees, we tried the Branzino, Pollo Siciliano, and Rigatoni Piccanti. Each dish was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and delicious in its own way. Of course, we had to save room for dessert! We finished with the Cannoli and Limoncello Cake, both of which were the perfect sweet ending to our meal. Overall, we had such a wonderful experience. We were honestly surprised by how amazing everything we tried was and couldn't believe we had never visited Rusticucina before. Our waiter, Marcello, was outstanding and incredibly helpful with his recommendations, which made our experience even better. We're so glad we finally discovered this gem and will definitely be back!

Despite mostly every seat in the bar and dining area being full, the service was top notch and we always felt attended to. Let me just say that our waiter Eduardo was an absolute GEM, and when we go back, I will be requesting to sit in his section again! He was efficient, professional, engaging, and got us so excited about the menu. When I took my phone out to take a photo of the meal, Eduardo took his own phone out to shine a flashlight and give us the best lighting. He's a pro!! They start you off with complimentary bread and two delicious dipping sauces - a spicy red sauce that's only served on weekends, and a basic pesto made of just basil and olive oil that we were drooling over. We shared the calamari and meatball appetizers to start, and I loveddd the parmy red sauce the meatballs were served in. We're big sauce fans in this household, and absolutely every dish had lots of decadent, flavorful sauce. For our mains, we shared the Piccante pizza, Arucola salad, pesto pasta, and vodka pasta on special. Everything was superb. My only note is that the vodka sauce tasted more like a tomato cream sauce. It's still delicious, but it didn't have that same vodka sauce flavor I'm used to. The salad was SO fresh and perfectly complimented the decadent carby counterparts. They offer to top all dishes with fresh parm as well, yes please!! We ordered two bottles of wine over the course of the night, and Eduardo + other staff members never let our wine or water glasses get empty. I truly felt like I was being spoiled all night! The cherry on top was the dessert at the end of the night. Cannolis are my FAVE, and my fiancé had never tried one before so it was such a special treat. The lemony limoncello was moist and yummy as well! At the end of the evening since we had 2 couples going to different homes and lots of leftovers, they were kind enough to evenly split the leftovers so we each got to bring some home! And on to the best part... in the excitement of the evening, I grabbed our box of leftovers and my jacket, but not my purse. Clearly I needed an excuse to come back. When I came the next day to get my purse, I was told Eduardo ran down the street trying to look for me to return it! You cannot get better service than this!

Service is good; the servers are very enthusiastic about recommendations. They seem to tend to make small talk in case that's not your style. They are very attentive with checking in and clearing plates. Food: 1. Artichoke special - Delicious, super rich and a little sour. Comes with 3 big hearts/stems, olives, and parm. 2. Caprese - They use an excellent quality burrata. Rich and milky and paired great with their heirloom tomatoes. 3. Squid ink pasta - Lots of fresh seafood. Light tomato sauce for those who aren't into cream sauce. 4. Pumpkin mushroom lasagna special - Don't be discouraged by the pumpkin, the flavor is very mild. Adds the barest hint of sweetness. Very cheesy, overall a solid lasagna. 5. Ear pasta with sausage - Came highly recommended as one of their most popular items. I loved it! It's like a combo sausage pizza in pasta form, and I say this very positively. I love the crunchy broccoli pieces which add a different texture and some sweetness. The cream sauce is super savory and not terribly heavy. The sausage has a fennel flavor which some might not be for everyone but I was a fan. 6. Osobucco with mushroom tagliatelle - Well executed. the osobucco is just slightly on the milder side. The tagliatelle was also delicious, a nice light cream sauce with lots of umami mushroom flavor. The only negative to me was the bread. A little dry, not served very hot. They make all their pasta fresh in house which is a nice plus. Overall a great meal. Definitely recommend as a nice date night place, and you can watch the gorgeous sunset views or walk around the streets of South Park after.
