I love to take my family to the Godfather resturant. They have big tasty portions of Italian food. They start you off with fried zucchini and warm bread. My favorite is the stuff lobster ravioli entrée. Their prices are very affordable and the staff are super helpful. This place is a hidden gem in Kearny Mesa.
A true treasure of a find. The service and cuisine is of the highest quality. I love the atmosphere. And you definitely won't go home unsatisfied. Check it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
This place is great. They even have a piano player. My daughter enjoyed her birthday celebration here very much and they played happy birthday for her and gave her a free dessert, which was so very yummy as was all of our food. We will definitely go back for more!
