As it is conveniently located in the Miguel Hidalgo park square. It is one on the first resturants that you can visit on the beginning of the Ruta Del Vino. This slower paced town has many hidden gems and this is definitely one of them. Hector is passionate about his hometown and in his resturant showcases many regionally sourced offerings. The wine was all from the Gaudalupe Valley and many of their beer were from Ensenada's Transpenninsular Brewery. The calamari was delicious and the staff was very gracious and accommodating. Its was one of the highlights of my weekend getaway. I loved that I could ask many questions about the area and the owner shared some pearls of wisdom of other places to go and visit while in Tecate.

This one was right by us and it looked good online so we wanted to try it out, and it did not disappoint! The server was super welcoming, we absolutely loved the service. Not to mention the decor was beautiful. The food is spectacular, I got the Fettuccine Carbonara and I haven't had pasta like that in so long. One big point I'd like to point out is that they have a big window that you can see the workers in the other side, I'm pretty sure they make every by scratch! Will be coming back definitely! Oh and we mentioned it was my moms birthday and they surprised her with a tiramisu cake at the end of our meal

I stopped by tonight for the perseoid meteor shower and it was extremely packed with a line out the door for take out and tables. The staff was really kind and communicative even though it must of been a very stressful night with so many adventurers making a pit stop on the way to enjoy the meteors. Food is always great as well, it's a nice spot that's open later that most in the area and one I look forward and return to

I got the jumbo shrimp with squid ink, the ribeye, and the carbonara. The ribeye was covered in sauce, which I personally would've preferred without, but it was still good. The carbonara was solid too I just wish they used pig cheek instead of only bacon for a more traditional flavor. I was also a huge fan of the double-sided balsamic vinegar and olive oil bottle at the table. Overall, definitely a good Italian spot for sure here in Chula.

The veal was excellent quality but extremely dry, Veal Marsala normally is swimming in Marsala with mushrooms all around, not here (see photos), so dry and $6.00 more than any restaurant in Little, Italy. But not as delicious. The fettuccine Alfredo was also a disappointment 4 me. Needed a bit of garlic and a dash of salt. Boring. Bad service, Boring pasta, and dry veal. Order the Veal Parm. you'll should be happy. Very high price point. I'm being magnanimous with 2 stars.

We're huge pasta and wine lovers, and while we were initially trying to decide on a bottle, Diego--who we later found out is the owner/founder--came over and spent time talking through the wines with us. He ended up recommending an off-menu 2015 vintage red that was honestly one of the best red wines I've ever had, and was incredibly generous with the price as well. That alone made the evening feel so personal and special. The food was just as incredible. We had the arancini, bruschetta, the cheese wheel special, the rigatoni vodka with mushrooms and sausage, and the pepperoni pizza. Everything was excellent, but the pasta was especially insane. The pizza was also perfect--the crust had that amazing light, crisp texture and structure without feeling heavy or overly bready. What really made the night, though, was the hospitality. Even though the restaurant feels elevated and upscale, it also somehow feels incredibly warm, intimate, and welcoming. At the end of dinner, they brought us complimentary limoncello for our anniversary, and Diego and our server did the shots with us. It felt less like we were just customers at a restaurant and more like we were genuinely being taken care of. Amazing food, amazing wine, and even better people. We would absolutely come back every time we're in San Diego. Cannot recommend Romanella enough.

We got the fresh homemade bread, polpettine, insalate venere, linguine, and lasagna. The herb infused dip for the bread was delicious, and the bread came warm wrapped in a towel. The polpettine was my favorite appetizer, the meat was so tender and delicious and paired perfectly with the whipped ricotta. I appreciated the olives and onions in the dish as well, and the sauce was great with the bread. Our server was extremely kind and offered to split the salad for us. My boyfriend loved the salad and loved the pairing of the greens, goat cheese, and walnuts together. He got the lasagna for the main and noted that there were about 12 layers beautifully stacked upon one another. My linguine was delicious and packed with seafood which was cooked perfectly. The texture of the linguine was delicious and seemed home made. Overall the food and service were excellent. I'm so glad I found a gem near my home and will be back to try more of the menu.
