[Asti Ristorante Restaurant
Restaurant Review
Amidst a sea of Italian restaurants, Asti Ristorante in San Diego’s Gaslamp District is one that should not be overlooked. Specializing in Northern Italian cuisine, Asti does not disappoint. Whether you stop in for lunch or for dinner, Asti’s extensive selection of hand-made pastas, fresh seafood or traditional chicken, beef or veal entrees are sure to please even the pickiest diners. The restaurant offers outdoor seating overlooking the Gaslamp’s bustling 5th Avenue, as well as indoor dining in the restaurant’s meticulously decorated dining room. Asti Ristorante is one of the few restaurants in downtown San Diego that can please both the fussy tourist and the persnickety local while making it all look so natural.

Tuesday night four of us went to a movie downtown. The streets were pretty quiet afterwards with the exception of one restaurant across the street. We were hungry and decided to give Asti a try. We did not have a reservation however the manager treated us like royalty and had us seated with cocktails within minutes. Fabrizio was the managers name and he was thrilled that we were locals trying Asti for the first time. He gave us a brief history of Asti and then introduced us to our waiter who described(in detail) Asti's specials for the evening. The fish was incredible! I had the linguini with seafood special and my wife had the sea bass. Our friends had the osso bucco and the rack of lamb. The meat was so tender you did not need to use a knife to cut it! I gladly picked up the check and we all agreed that the experience was worth every penny! Don't let it's small size fool you, Asti is huge when it comes to food and service!
