Filippi's Pizza Grotto

We are excited that Filippi's is still around. We had our first meal at the Italian deli / restaurant in 1969 and have come back as often as we can from our home state of Georgia. We are looking forward to our meal on Wednesday, Dec 26. Highly recommended and hopefully still top food at a very reasonable price. Thank you Filippi's for being a top 10 restaurant on our list.

My boyfriend and I came here once when our bellies started to growl after going to Nelson's Photo Supply in Little Italy. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, it's dimly lit but not fancy, with red and white checkered table clothes and rows upon rows of bottles hanging from the ceiling. The staff was super friendly, the food was good and the price was perfect. It definitely feels like a real Italian experience.

Giant, delicious meatballs. The food isn't exactly authentic Italian but at least you won't have to pay the white-table-cloth prices. Great for families and groups who want to loosen up a bit over dinner

While in San Diego last week for the 1st time we came across Phillipe's by accident. It was around 5:30pm on Thursday when we went there for dinner. We had to park 2 blocks down the street as parking is at a premium in the area. When we went inside, the front of the bldg is an Italian deli-grocery store offering cookies, pastry, breads, wine....the dining room seats approx 150. While we were seated the wait staff went by us various time carrying delicious looking dishes of various Italian foods. We ordered an antipasto salad, medium pizza and 2 sodas, our total bill was $21. the food was exceptional as was the service. When we left I stopped in the deli to get a few Italian delights...when we walked out the door the waiting line was over a block long, and worth every waiting minute !!!!

Mmm... A pizza pie and wine have never tasted this good. Me and my girl were looking for a good Italian place in San Diego and finally found Filippi's... It was pretty much the perfect day.
