Very good food and clearly a step (or two or three) above the average Italian restaurant with excellent service and nice ambiance. We ordered calamari as appetizer but was also given a complimentary plate of fried zucchini. Too much food! Will be back for sure.

This is a San Diego classic. The service is alway excellent. I have never had anything less than exceptional. The sea bass was excellent . The veal piccata was fabulous. The eggplant was divine The artichoke hearts was just yummy. You can't go wrong after all these years its consistency is amazing excellent .

I'm certain over the years I have posted excellent reviews about Godfathers. It is one of the finest restaurants in San Diego. It is consistently good. I've never had a bad meal or experience at Godfather's

When you have the right server, it makes a huge difference. This time we asked that we have a table away from the offending server. That request means honored and our waiter was fabulous. He was attentive, gave us good suggestions and took care of our needs. For this meal, we had the trifecta: great food, great service and a special table that was a bit quieter than sitting in the center section of the restaurant. Thanks for making us feel special again.

Great service great food it's dark inside with candles and posters the men servers are in whole ass suits will be back I feel like a mob boss!

Incredible, in one word. Complimentary fried zucchini, didn't sound exotic but the breading was fabulous and we couldn't stop eating it. We had to try the artichoke appetizer and it was delicious and plentiful, better for 4 people but I'll enjoy the rest tomorrow. Wife ordered the crepe filled with seafood and loved it. I had the chicken Florentina and it had amazing flavor. The bread was delicious, particularly when dipped in my Florentine. Everything amazing. The atmosphere is suitable for an elegant dress up dinner or casual. The staff all are impeccably dressed, with live piano music playing (Friday evening). Great atmosphere for a date. 5 plus stars for me.

Excellent service. Our server was very attentive. Great food, I ordered the Frutti di Mare it was exquisite. Highly reccomended.

I've been driving by this place for years but had never quite found an opportunity to visit until now. I'd recommend putting in a reservation in advance as they did get pretty busy rather quickly. On Clairemont Mesa in between Mercury and Convoy, the parking lot feels a bit small for the foot traffic despite the abundance of spots. Parking behind the building via the side passageway or doing street parking are options as well. The restaurant is very reminiscent of an older classy romantic dinner location, the sort you would find in movies. The staff were very attentive and polite. One of the best experiences I have had at a sit down restaurant. Meatball appetizer was a pleasing start with the fresh bread and fried zuchini. The Lasanga was delicious and reminded me of an old friend who had owned an Italian restaurant in North County. Spaghetti Carbonara featured a bold garlic flavor and hit the spot. The pancetta was perhaps a bit over, but it was still a fine dish. Unrelated note: as we were leaving, we were worried it had auddenly started raining outside, but the sound was just the water fountain outside the door.
