Located in the heart of Hillcrest and voted best Italian restaurant in San Diego many years in a row, Arrivederci saw it's first day in 1995 thanks to the Mastellone Family. His philosophy : deliver simple food at a reasonable price with friendly service. Later the group of restaurants will grow with Au Revoir Bistro, Il Postino, Buon Appetito, Piacere Mio, Sorrento, Solunto...). Authentic Italian restaurant, Arrivederci, has a casual ambiance, traditional Italian cuisine and an atmosphere that transports you directly to Tuscany, and the middle of Campania !!!
Our Italian homemade cuisine is a perfectly inexpensive recipe, a little bit of tradition, an ounce of modern Italian cooking inspired by different regions, and a big cup of love from our Chef and his team.
Nuova Cucina Italiana is our engagement. It means more vegetables, less fat, no preservatives or artificial seasoning, leaving the great taste of Italy.
Some of Arrivederci Ristorante specialties are :
- Osso Bucco
- Gnocchi
- Melanzane Sorrentina
- Carpaccio Classico
- Farfalle Vodka & Salmone
- Rigatoni Piccanti
- Vitello Picatta
- Homemade Tiramisu
- and more to discover...
