Parma Cucina Italiana is a delightful gem in San Diego that exceeded all my expectations! 🍝 We stumbled upon this cozy spot and were immediately welcomed like family.

I tried the squid ink pasta special, and it was fantastic - perfectly cooked and not too heavy. My friends raved about the Bolognese and the iconic lasagna. For dessert, the homemade tiramisu and lemon sorbet were heavenly!

The service was friendly and prompt, making the whole experience even better. Just be prepared for a bit of a parking challenge. Highly recommend for any Italian food lover! 🌟
