Review by Jaylon Barton

The Godfather in San Diego is a delightful escape into Italian culinary tradition. The dimly lit atmosphere creates a cozy, romantic setting, perfect for any occasion.

We started with the calamari, which was perfectly cooked, followed by a ribeye special that exceeded my expectations - seasoned beautifully and grilled to perfection. The homemade tiramisu they presented us for our anniversary was a sweet touch that made our evening unforgettable.

With great service from Juan and efficient valet parking, I can't recommend this gem enough! 🍷✨

The Godfather offers a delightful Italian escape! The cozy, romantic ambiance sets the stage for a memorable evening. Our calamari was perfectly cooked, and the ribeye special was surprisingly fantastic. Don’t skip the tiramisu for dessert - it’s heavenly! Excellent service made our night even better...
