Filippi’s Pizza Grotto in Little Italy

Located at 1747 India Street, San Diego, CA 92101 in Little Italy

In business for 75 years and some of the best Italian cuisine I have ever had. Whether you prefer the meat sauce lasagna or the marinara vegetarian style lasagna, neither will disappoint. Free bread rolls are available if you ask the server. I prefer their garlic bread, which has just the right amount of butter and garlic. The minestrone soup is $8 a bowl, hearty and delicious. Submarine sandwiches are equally good, and you can ask the server to prepare it toasted which I would suggest. Their pizza comes in one size large, with pretty much any topping your taste bud’s desire. Service and food to the table is fast, less than 10 minutes and the restaurant has plenty of seating. Wait times if any, are typically 5 minutes. Entrée pricing is about $20 per person. Parking in Little Italy is next to impossible, but Filippi’s makes it easy with a designated parking lot next to the restaurant monitored and patrolled at no cost to the consumer. Filippi’s is a chain, and my preference is always to make the trip to Little Italy, it’s beautiful, the food and people are fantastic. is plentiful at $8 for 2 hours. I give this restaurant a 4.9 stars approval rating.
