[Jack's La Jolla - Viaggio - Restaurant Review
At Viaggio, the new Italian concept to join the family of restaurants at Jack’s La Jolla, Executive Chef Tony DiSalvo brings a refreshing creativity and hint of elegance to Italian cuisine. Viaggio’s menu revolves around house-made pastas, such as sweet corn ravioli with Maine lobster, pancetta, tomato, and basil, with DiSalvo drawing on his Italian heritage and family recipes for inspiration. But dishes here are far from ordinary—as he has always done at all of the restaurants within Jack’s, DiSalvo brings a commitment to fresh ingredients, an elegant aesthetic, and a delicate hand to each dish he creates, resulting in stunning and exquisite presentations of contemporary Italian cuisine.

Gaslamp Strip Club
Address: 340 Fifth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101
The Gaslamp Strip Club is named after the restaurant's signature "strip steak." The 21-and over steakhouse offers an old-school supper club setting, complete with curved leather booths, dim lighting, and a central grill around which guests crowd to cook their own steaks. Grill options include a range of premium steaks and kabobs, as well as poultry, seafood, and vegetarian options. An extensive cocktail selection, late night hours, and a casual vibe amid artwork by the famous "pin up" artist Alberto Vargas makes the Gaslamp Strip Club an ideal destination not only for a meal but for an entire evening.

Indigo Grill
Address: 1536 India Street, San Diego, CA 92101
Rather than imparting a sense of place, as many restaurants aim to do, the Indigo Grill takes diners on a journey. Starting in Alaska and ending in Oaxaca, Mexico, the Indigo Grill follows the West coast of North America. The route is interpreted through Chef Deborah Scott’s fittingly adventurous menu, which intertwines Mexican and Native American flavors, matches Northern comfort food with Southern heat, and presents ingredients from both land and sea. Daring combinations of indigenous ingredients, culinary techniques, and traditions result in a truly special, somewhat mythical culinary experience that delights the senses and satisfies the adventurous spirit.
