About
Operacaffe greets diners with an authentic Italian experience in the Windsor Hotel, just a stone's throw from San Diego’s Civic Center. This charming eatery boasts a casual yet romantic atmosphere, perfect for everything from solo dinners to family gatherings. Enjoy delightful house-made pasta and savory risottos alongside a stellar selection of wines and cocktails. While the service can be a tad slow at times, the cozy vibe and scrumptious desserts, especially the chocolate cake, make it worth the wait. Reservations are recommended for an enchanting evening filled with flavors.
I had a lovely dinner at Operacaffe! The house-made gnocchi and lobster-shrimp ravioli were divine and paired perfectly with a glass of red wine. The ambiance is both casual and romantic, ideal for a date night. Don't skip the chocolate cake for dessert...!

Operacaffe is a delightful find in San Diego! Nestled in the Windsor Hotel, the cozy yet trendy atmosphere is perfect for a romantic dinner or a laid-back gathering. The house-made pasta is a must-try; I couldn't get enough of the gnocchi and lobster ravioli! 🍝
The garlic bread stole the show with its buttery perfection. Our server was attentive, despite a busy evening. I enjoyed a glass of red wine alongside my fettuccine with truffle oil - absolutely divine!
Make sure to save room for dessert; the chocolate cake is heavenly. A true gem for Italian cravings! 😊✨
