There are continuous opportunities to eat in San Diego. We frequent "Cafe on Park"with family and friends on a regular basis (mainly for lunch) where I try to indulge in salads only. In spite of this I am up three pounds since we arrived in this beautiful seaside city.
But what would a trip to San Diego be without a stop in "Little Italy" to wander around? Today was nice with a perfect temperature of 78 degrees under sunny skies. The Little Italy District is just a couple of blocks off the Trolley system and an easy walk from the train stop. This was my first trip to this district also which made it doubly interesting because it was a new experience. Plus there are multiple restaurants and shops to peruse once you get there.
While soaking in the ambiance, we were also busy searching for authentic Italian cuisine. We couldn't resist. So we stopped for an early dinner at
Filippis Pizza Grotto which was established in 1950 to enjoy the best lasagna we have tasted lately. We are not biased of course. Almost every Italian restaurant we patronize becomes "the best" at the moment we visit it. Honestly though, this meal was exceptionally good. I think it is because they had an abundance of melted mozzarella cheese layered between the noodles. There is also an awesome Italian market in the entry area which you pass through en route to the restaurant. The restaurant is a temptation in and of itself that requires fortitude to get through coming and going without pausing to make a purchase.
And so we have had our second Italian experience in San Diego and the extra pounds are worth it!
