Owners David Arato (Bottega Italiana) and Sandro Lattenero are longtime friends from Italy and their family-like relationship is reflected in the eatery’s design, which is reminiscent of a comfortable, but cool, living room.

Divine, yes—but if you think that's indulgent, drop in on Wednesdays, when they sub out pasta for risotto."

"Even if you’re broke, the Timken Museum of Art is always free, and if you have a Bank of America card, the San Diego Museum of Art and the Museum of Photogenic Arts are free on certain days. If you love art, check out the Spanish village. These are historic buildings turned art galleries and stores which have a lot of their work for sale. Even just walking through this area is a fun experience."
