Cucina Caprese Pizzeria & Trattoria

Ignore the 1 star review below. Completely wrong. My wife and i have been coming here since they opened and were married in Italy. This is by far the best, most authentic pizza in San Diego. Better than buona forchetta and siamo napoli. The Ingredients are light, simple and fresh. You can eat a big meal and you don’t feel stuffed and heavy, but nourished. The staff is particularly fantastic. They know every dish perfectly and can pair wine well. The owner is from capri Italy and it shows! Perfetto!

I was looking for some really good authentic Italian pizza and my friend had recommended this place. I must say that it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, our waiter was so friendly; He immediately greeted us and also let us pick what table we wanted to sit at. One of the first things that I noticed was how cute the atmosphere was and I really enjoyed all the art on the walls. The waiter told me it was all from local artists, which I thought was super cool. The waiter was so nice and so knowledgeable about all the food. Honestly, it was such a refreshing experience to have a waiter who could actually make good and informative suggestions on the food the restaurant serves. We both ended up getting a pizza because they sounded so good. All the ingredients were imported from Italy actually and I thought that was pretty impressive. The pizza did not disappoint!! I feel like it’s the best pizza I’ve ever had actually. I loved how thin it was but also so cheesy and filling. I was very impressed and so happy with my decision to come here!! I also enjoyed their crème brûlée for dessert!! It was very light and so tasty. Besides the food being so good, the staff were so friendly and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting authentic Italian food or just an amazing pizza because this place is where it’s at!!

Food was not bad, the reason for my 3 start is that the appetizers were clearly frozen but other than that is a good place to eat. The margherita was good, the focaccia qirh mortadella and burrata was delicious, the paccheri weren't bad but they need to work on their bolognese sauce because is not supposed to be and taste like that.

Delicious food. Pizza is always tasty and made perfectly. Lobster ravioli was very good. Creme brulle was brought out flaming. Beautiful presentation. Red sangria was perfect with the meal.
