Operacaffe
Address: 835 4th Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101 (Map)
It is the very presence of charismatic Master Chef Roberto Bernardoni and his lovely wife, Chef Patrizia Branchi that sets Operacaffe apart from the countless “authentic” Italian eateries downtown. The first ingredient in all of Chef Bernadoni’s dishes is his "cuore", his heart and passion for his trade. This is splendidly reflected in the careful presentations, wistful aromas, and creative tastes of their traditional dishes. Allow your taste buds to be transported to Italy by thin crust pizzas, salads, featuring fresh Italian cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano, and herby and flavorful pasta and second course dishes. Chef Bernardoni will be delighted if you select any one of his handsome desserts.

Monsoon
Address: 729 4th Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101 (Map)
Entering the restaurant from San Diego’s bustling Gaslamp Quarter, Monsoon diners are warmly greeted by an intoxicating aroma of spices wafting up from Chef Ashley Popat’s delectable Indian-inspired dishes. Deftly negotiating tradition and fusion, her menu presents purist renditions of less familiar fare, like the Dizzy Nu Shak banana curry, alongside playfully flavorful cultural pastiches like the Masala Hummus. The restaurant itself is also tastefully eclectic: walls festooned with Indian musical instruments and murals are lighted by antique-looking chandeliers, while a Bollywood-esque trip hop soundtrack mingles with the dulcet sounds of a prominent water feature. Monsoon goes beyond gastronomic indulgence: it is a feast for all the senses.
