2051 café

First time eating there today and I'll be back if I'm nearby. I had homemade fettuccine with porcini mushrooms, a special today. It was good but seriously under-salted. After correcting that, I really enjoyed the dish. The mushrooms were especially tasty. I wish they had side salads since it's a huge amount of undiluted carbs. Maybe make the pasta portions a bit smaller and include a little salad? I saw about half the patrons having entree salads which looked very nice but they were too large for a side dish. Beyond that, it's all self-serve, very clean, minimal and functional. Huge amount of space between tables so all is calm and serenity. Final plus is the friendliness and patience of the staff. Good feelings here.

What a hidden gem!!! I lost all hope for North County until I went here. There’s very few places that the owner is there everyday and cooks you the most delicious lunch. Beautiful people that are genuine and authentic. This is real Italian made from scratch and you can taste the love. My wife and I are chefs and Italian and this place is legit. Please go treat yourself to the best lunch and meet the owners and you’ll be hooked I guarantee. Also have a great coffee and dessert. GRAZIA

A real Italian café. Amazing people and top food quality. If you want to try a real Italian experience, this is the right place.
Pastries are highly suggested, in particular for an Italian style breakfast with cornetto and cappuccino.

Unbelievably delicious and fresh. Everything is made from scratch including pasta, croissants and bread. You can taste the love and pride these Italian guys put in their cooking. I literally close my eyes to savor all details of the delicate flavors, and get teleported back to Italy at the first byte.

Fresh and creatively made pasta for lunch? Yes please. Very nice place, super helpful and friendly people.
