Sophia is such a sweetheart! I have celiac disease and she helped me pick out some gluten free treats. After ringing me up she complimented my necklace and told me to have a great day. Will be back!!

North Italia in One Paseo is my new favorite Italian food restaurant! Every single team member we encountered was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful. The kitchen & bar outdid themselves everybody enjoyed their dishes and drinks from the Brussels sprouts to the fried zuchinni chips, bread, pastas, pizzas, and salads. I’m gluten free and was so happy to see such an accommodating menu. I ordered the pesto chicken pasta and loved every bite! We had a big party of twelve and a late reservation, because our previous dinner reservations fell through. Honestly, I’m so happy they did. Despite our not-so-simple request for a Saturday night reservation at a busy location, they happily welcomed us in and took such good care of us! Thank you Nicole, Garrett, and all staff!

I have Celiac and it’s always nerve-wracking to go out and eat. The team at Cava was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I felt very comfortable and will be back again!

I writing a review that is long overdue! Last summer we needed a caterer for our daughter's graduation. We wanted a pizza oven brought onsite and the first place I called was very dismissive. When I reached out to Criscito Pizza I was delighted by the response. Prior to the event we worked with Phil who could not have been more accommodating and reassuring. He really made me feel like an important customer (as opposed to an inconvenience which was how the first place treated my request). At the actual event, there were two people (I think?; it could have been three?) making the pizzas and running them to the backyard where they had set up buffet tables. First off, these young people were so professional and helpful. They set up a beautiful display with pizzas (all labeled) and salad. They made new pizzas as needed and replenished them without being asked. Plus my gluten free guests were SO delighted with the care and attention paid to their needs. All this and I haven't even mentioned the pizza which was FABULOUS! No lie, it was so good. Everyone raved. (Especially about the Honey Garlic pizza; that one was a particular favorite!) Needless to say I highly recommend them.

Wow! This place is clean, organized, on point!! Ryan and Anna were killing it on a day when it was supposed to be slow, but it was crazy busy and they handled it like pros. Team was caring, knowledgeable, informative, and genuine! Love it! Please please try it. If you are gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, or have health requirements you should try this!

Great pizzas and food at this hidden gem. They have Gluten free pizzas that are actually very good and better than CPK's GF variety... Great ambience for chatting, nice booths on the inside with a decent bar. 8/10 would recommend especially for larger groups and for the patio room for events

I read other reviews saying it was delicious, so I had high expectations. Let me talk about the price first. It is much more expensive than IN-N-OUT...but if it tastes good, the price is worth it~ But I think it makes me quite disappointed XD It's not that it's not delicious, but it's just... ordinary, so ordinary that I forgot its taste (about a week later) If you want to recommend or not, but you want to give it a try, that’s fine. But if you ask me to choose again, I will definitely choose to eat in n out. (I don’t know if it’s because I chose gluten-free bread that it doesn’t taste good...)

My kids love to eat here but this place is grungy. Every time I go in I’m repulsed by how filthy it is. The quality of food at this location is also not fantastic. I once got a salad here with slimy lettuce and sparse toppings. Tonight we went and I usually don’t order anything for myself because I am very gluten and dairy sensitive and I don’t trust them to make the food correctly - I reiterated several times that there must be no dairy of any kind and that I would appreciate them changing their gloves etc so I don’t get sick. Of course they brought my food out with cheese on it (this is not a first which is why I normally order nothing for myself) - this is after being reassured by the cashier she would “let the cooks know” which I am sure never happened. They need way better training about food allergies and they need to put some elbow grease into cleaning this place up!!

Met a friend for lunch while visiting San Diego here. Beautiful restaurant with a gorgeous outside eating area and fire. Located conveniently to all surrounding areas. The food was fresh and had excellent flavors. The selection of wine was impressive. I am gluten-free and vegetarian. I was glad to find Davanti offers several options.

Went with our family for brunch and ordered the Akuri wrap, avocado toast, and some breakfast brownies. They also offered gluten free options for my kids. What a wonderful experience. The patio setting was amazing, staff were super friendly and food presentation was superb. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.
