WORLD FARE: A tale of opulence and restraint at Addison

July 16, 2019 mgardiner

In the run-up to Michelin’s California Guide, there was a lot of local speculation about whether Addison Restaurant (5200 Grand Del Mar Way) would be awarded one of Michelin’s coveted stars. Some skeptics thought it (and San Diego) would be shut out altogether. Others predicted … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: An Italian moment, simply, at Caffè San Luca

June 4, 2019 mgardiner

San Diego is having an Italian moment. Still, despite having a “Little Italy” and a Gaslamp District once silly with Italian joints, local Italian food offerings over the past several decades have been disappointing. And while some recent high-profile Italian openings have … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Pasta without pretension at Monzù

February 25, 2019 mgardiner

Italian restaurants in San Diego have tended to fall into one of three categories: 1.) American-Italian joints with cheap red sauce and bad pizza; 2.) middle-of-the-road copycat spots (think early ’90s Gaslamp or Little Italy a decade later), or; 3.) stuffy, pretentious and often … [Read more...]
