Reviews for Lido's Italian Foods in Lemon Grove, CA
I found this place based on San Diego reader top Italian in San Diego. I'm not really sure how or why. The staff was nice and... helped navigate a dairy allergy the best she could which ended up but being much (not her fault at all). Our waitress went onbreak before our food made it to the table. We waited fairly long time and half the food was Luke warm at best. I ordered themeatball sub and it was okay. We also had a pasta dish with sausage which was mediocre and the sausage was bland. The garlicbread was good. The building is old and the atmosphere is definitely dated. I was mostly frustrated with the service. We werenever offered refills on our soda or water. I walked to the front and asked for one which she said no problem. Fifteen minuteslater, nothing. We just got our check and left. Maybe it's just the area or the regulars that love this place, I'm not sure. Ihope this isn't the typical experience for customers here but I will not be coming back to try again Read more
Pizza is delicious. Everything else is standard red sauce Italian fare. Someone once suggested getting the ribs. Mistake. Not... great. Fair prices. Decent portions. Quick service. I go once a month. Read more
I've been going to Lidos for almost 20 years. One of my favorite places to Dine Out. The Mushroom Ravioli in the Garlic Butter... Sauce and a side of Meatballs in Meat Sauce is my go-to. Bomb! Cant go wrong. You won't find it on the menu because it's aspecial. Anndddd....they do take out amazingly! Read more

We love Lido's Restaurant. My favorite is Baked Rigatoni. They have the best Cheesy Bread too! (I've tried many in my... vicinity) The Lasagne is great too! Never been disappointed in any meal I've had in the 30+ years of going here. But I wouldorder pizza well done. Chicken/Rib combo is wonderful too! Read more
Relict of the past! American, American, and then some Italian flavored food. Not sure where the raving reviews come from, Olive... Garden, and I really don?t like their good, has better food than this outlet. When an Italian ?restaurant? serves you Cheesecrackers from a box with diced American cheese and diced sliced ham from unknown sources, you know something is wrong. We hadthe ravioli special and the veggie pizza. Fresh store bought pizza and ravioli taste better. Garlic bread, big thumbs down, dryand hard. The only reason I give them two stars, is because one of the servers was nice and accommodating, but had to go tobreak. In addition, the venue is dark and really tightly packed with table. Won?t go there again. Read more
Hadn't been here in years but used to come quite often. Finally went back and the food was good as always. Maybe not as good as... I remember but definitely better than most Italian places. Been around a very long time so they must be doing most things right. ???? Read more
This is a place that is almost untouched by time. It's been exactly the same since I was a kid in the 90s and my mom says it was... the same as when she came in high school with her parents. The food is consistent and the portions are large. The saladdressing is amazing and you can buy a wine bottle fill to go if you like it. Everything is basic but in the best way. Thealcohol selection is terrible though, but it is still classic. I'll be going here until the doors don't open anymore. Read more
