It was my first time in here. Since is an Italian restaurant I couldn't help comparing it with Olive Garden. I asked for my favorite dish. That is the Chicken alfredo. Pernicanos chicken alfredo has no good flavor, the chicken seems to be just unfrozen and the pasta is just plain, I was hoping at least the alfredo sauce to be rich, but no, it was kinda liquid and light in flavor. I left it all. The pizza seems to be very famous there since a lot of customers where asking for it. It was ok, the dough is handmade wich is good and different from others. But the cheese or sauce tasted like if it was made with tap water. Like the soft drinks at the gas station. The good thing was the sampler appetizers and the tiramisú! Definitely it saved the day. It's just my humble opinion and hope it helps you decide what to order when you visit here. Waitress by the way was very kind. Thank you!
Service was great, no waiting for a seat, and plenty of food
Favorite family place for years!! Still the best pizza in East County ?
Delicious!!Had the California chickenSo yummy and service was outstanding!!
OMG! Great food for a good value! Friendly service and great patio seating with heaters for comfort. Highly recommend!
I was so disappointed with my Italian torpedo sandwich that I ordered.I ordered a hot one when I got it, it wasn't hot it wasn't warm, it was cold. The cheese hadn't melted. I can can overlook that. But, when I tasted it there was all mostly ham. I had to dig to find a slither of salamie at the bottom. It just tasted like a boring ham sandwich. Also you're supposed to receive pepperocinis next to it. None. And the oil for dipping wasn't oil it tasted like only vinegar. I'll never be back. My best to go Italian torpedo is at Venice pizza house and they were ?closed. I do not recommend.
I always stop at Pernicano's when I'm in San Diego. Best pizza in town.
Very good Torpedo Sandwiches Stuffed with meat! Most reasonably priced around town!!!!
Love this family restaurant. Been going here since I was a kid. Very happy to see Pernicanos survived Covid Lockdowns.
Not much to look at, but the food and service are very good. I had spinach ravioli with mushroom sauce. It was very flavourful. Lots of fresh sautéed mushrooms in a chunky tomato sauce??
