Located in La Jolla, this easy-going spot serves hearty Italian dishes in a friendly family-owned setting. The specials are great, and we also love the tiramisu and ricotta cheesecake.

A San Diego staple for seafood tacos and beer!

Din Tai Fung
Internationally famous dumpling spot known for the soup dumplings (xiao long bao). Reservations are required in advance due to popularity, but we promise its worth it!
RAKIRAKI Ramen & Tsukemen
A bustling ramen shop in the middle of Convoy - San Diego's Asian Cultural District - this spot is a gateway drug to ramen. It also happens to be right next door to one of our favorite dessert spots - SomiSomi!
Ramen Ryoma Hillcrest
Located a little further south in the Hillcrest neighborhood, this ramen spot is a favorite because they give you a full egg/tamago with your noodles (in this economy?! luxury!).
Sugar and Scribe
An Irish-inspired open-air bakery and cafe in the heart of downtown La Jolla. We recommend street-parking and arriving early as wait times are typically ~15-30 min.
il Giardino di Lilli
Fantastic, flaky croissants, and cozy coffee among other breakfast toasts and pastries. Kate likes the apricot jam-filled croissant, and Erick likes the Nutella or vanilla cream.
