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.
Recommended Restaurants
Bernard'O Restaurant
Address: 12457 Rancho Bernardo Road, San Diego, CA 92128 (Map)
Unassuming elegance is paired by striking attention to detail at Bernard’O Restaurant, in Rancho Bernardo. The main dining room provides a cosmopolitan space lit with the glow of an Italian-tile fireplace. The patio that affords views of glistening stars most nights also has a fireplace to keep diners comfortable. The menu is a toast to fine French fare, and Chef Patrick Ponsaty plates dishes complex in flavor and refreshingly direct in vision. The Californian Bouillabaisse is an ode to the sea with seabass, scallops, shrimp, mussels, clams, and potatoes, in a Rouille lobster sauce.

Ocean Room
Address: 630 5th Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101 (Map)
Boasting fresh sushi and an oyster bar overlooking an open kitchen, Ocean Room also offers fresh seafood including shellfish cooked to perfection using a kettle steaming technique. This is something that is rarely seen here on the west coast as it is a technique utilized more in the southern region of the United States, particularly Louisiana. Located in the center of Fifth Avenue in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego, Ocean Room’s contemporary décor, friendly staff, and flavorful seafood creations - headed up by Chef Felix Frias - will be a sure bet to indulge in the freshest seafood that San Diego has to offer.

George's California Modern
Address: 1250 Prospect Street, San Diego, CA 92037 (Map)
A new concept in upscale contemporary dining, George's California Modern is the result of a complete transformation of the beloved George’s at the Cove fine dining restaurant in La Jolla. Featuring a sophisticated yet relaxed space with a modern aesthetic and executive chef Trey Foshee's fearlessly diverse menu that continues to celebrate fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients while incorporating worldly influences, along with an international wine list and seasonal cocktails by mixologist Frankie Thaheld, the California Modern dining experience has been called the best in San Diego. If you haven't been to George's recently, you haven't been to George's at all.
