The Godfather – Reviews, photos, menu, opening hours Claimed

Although I found the food to be delicious, it wasn’t exceptional. The atmosphere was small and enclosed. Best to make reservations before going to this restaurant otherwise you will sit outside. I would eat there again but if I’m paying …

This is old school dining at its best. Servers are attentive, the food is delicious, the ambiance is something out of the past with dark woods, low lighting, piano playing in the background and the feeling that somehow you’ve gone back 50 years.

Great locally-owned Italian family restaurant that’s been around San Diego forever. This location is very nice, went for dinner and a holiday party. Great service & food!

Food was great. Highly recommend the Penne Arrabiatta, it is spicy and fresh. The Chicken crepe was ok, but too creamy for me. That is a personal preference. There are outside seating, which we opted for. The desserts may be store brought, it just doesn’t look like it was made on premise; conjecture only.

i found this place on google looking for dinner after just getting in to san diego. the reviews were high and they were not wrong! so glad i decided to try it out. big portions, delicious al dente pasta, fresh warm bread…and the free …

Frank and the staff were absolutely amazing. This has got to be one of the best Italian restaurants. It’s a classy traditional Italian restaurant. Portions are good and the food is perfect. I recommend making a reservation.

Great Restaurant . Perfect ambiance – Can get somewhat loud – Luckily tonight I had my earplugs. wish the waiters knew that not everyone orders water and all that stuff – but overall very nice. They only have one stall in the women’s …

Great old school red sauce Italian spot. Amazing service and classic Sicilian / NY Italian dishes served large. I drop a star as my veal parm was not tender or soft. Lots of tough bites which has no place in veal.

Took Godfather for take out for the first time all I can say is the food quality and prep is just as good as being in the restaurant. Everything was cooked perfectly flavor was wonderful I can’t say anything bad about this place they have always gone above and beyond and never fail to impress.

This is an awesome place to go while in San Diego. I like the fact that they give you free fried zucchini with butter and bread. I had the Linguini Fruitti Di Mare and it was delicious. My husband had Sea Bass and it was perfectly cooked. …

The ambience , food , service was on point. I visited here with my friends. Being a vegetarian we have bunch of options and customize few pastas too. I tried portobello ravioli and it was delicious. …

Another Little Christmas traditional visit to My Godfather! As always, the service and ambiance was on point. Regarding the meal; the Veal Parmigiana was perfect, the Penne Arrabbiata was incredible with a perfect amount of heat. Mom’s …

This restaurant IS FANTASTIC!! It is mob themed like the movie. It has cool, unique, 1930s decor. All of the servers wear tuxedos. When I walked in, I felt like I was back in time or at a restaurant in New York City with the old 1930s …

Tasty old school Italian spot. San Diego legend. Everyone that works here is super friend.

Old school classy. We love this place. Tried several “new” items this time – all were fabulous. I always wonder why I don’t come here more often!

Been dining here well over 30+ years. Have never had a bad meal. Great atmosphere and caring, attentive staff. The owner Anthony is always onsite and ensures a top notch dining experience. Have not and will not eat at any other Italian …

Thank you Ricardo and assisting staff for taking such great care of us. We appreciate the excellent service and excellent, exquisite meal of lb chops, garlic mashed potatoes, vegetables, calamari, soup and salad! Wines- Merlot blend, Malbec, finished with 10 year Tawny! Everything was beautiful!

The food was incredible and wine was divine, we are parents of 5 so don’t get out often. Said, our server tonight was the absolute pinnacle of what customer service is and we were both blown away with the quality of service. Would come back …

Traditional Italian food with an elegant dining experience.

Great atmosphere with a live pianist playing classics, good wine selection and …

I would dine here again and again and again! Great staff. Love the complementary fried zucchini. The veal is amazing and there’s so many options. The dessert platter is insane with the amount of choices. Definitely try a cocktail at the bar, they make amazing martinis.

Honest review… As previous posters mentioned, the parking lot situation is not ideal, but valet is only $4, making it relatively inexpensive. Wine list is good, nice options to make it attractive. Live piano music was a nice touch. Limited …

This place is delicious!!! Best Italian I’ve had in a long time. We went for a birthday and our waiter was amazing. Pasta is homemade. Portions are enormous, enough to share. Highly recommend, will be going back. Recommend a reservation, it gets very busy there.

Great service, great place, amazing food. We came right after the restaurant opened up, at 4pm and got busy very fast. The host was polite so was the waiter. We were given a complimentary appetizer, fried zucchini which tasted nice. Other …

I love The Godfather! Everything is always fresh and delicious the food never disappoints. The desserts, OH MAN… the desserts are so good and rich in flavor. You must try the lemon cake it’s moist with a fresh zesty kick ( not to much …
