Reviews for Monzu Fresh Pasta in San Diego, CA
What a gem. Seriously, if you love pasta, go! I love to make my own but isn’t it great to taste something from someone who has... mastered their skill. The staff are lovey and this place was such a lucky find. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente withouthaving to ask for it. I loved the finishing touches for the truffle pasta which was served in a parmesan bowl. This place isgreat and I would definitely recommend it if you love pasta!! Read more
TL;DR - Italy in San Diego The reviews here won’t lead you astray. Food is delicious and the staff is friendly and helpful.... Interior space is neither large nor grandiose. I opted to sit outside under the shade of some beautiful trees. I ordered theCasarecce All'arrabbiata on my servers recommendation and it was delicious! Enough heat to slow you down but not enough to stopyou. Look forward to coming back. Read more
What a proper place. I went for dinner by myself for a nice Saturday night treat. As a born and raised Italian I can say it is... very hard to find truly authentic Italian food in the US, but both the food and the amazing staff of this place made it happen.I got a simple Spaghetti with tomato sauce and burrata, and it was just perfect. The Pinot Grigio wine accompanied just rightand it was actually good, real wine. Pasta is freshly home-made and the sauce is just the way it should be. Service isimpeccable and the guys even gave me a free dessert. I destroyed everything as you can see. 100% RECOMMENDED Read more
Usually small, family run places are incredible. I loved the appetizer special we got (homemade mozzarella rolled with fig,... marmalade, and prosciutto). The carbonara was a bit too salty for my liking. Read more
Everything we ordered for dinner was excellent without an exception. Especially, I became a big fan of their spaghetti with... truffle sauce. The spaghetti was served al dente, or slightly underdone, with flavorful truffle and cheese cream sauce. Theirshort rib bolognese ravioli was also good. What a delight to find this restaurant. We would definitely come back when we visitSan Diego next! Read more

This place was delightful! I’ve never been to Italy before but after eating here, I felt like I have. The owner of the... restaurant (she’s from Italy) actually took our orders and told us stories of the origins of the different dishes that theyserve. We settled on trying several different dishes and appetizers. Some pasta, ravioli, and meatballs were our main dishes andthey were all wonderful. Surprisingly, the highlight of the dinner were the fried zucchini blossoms filled with cream cheese. Wereluctantly ordered them but the owner insisted we give them a try. We are glad we did! Overall, a wonderful, authentic Italianexperience. Not just a restaurant. Read more
