My Take
Our Take
The Spot
Italianissimo Trattoria is run by two partners with roots on opposite ends of Italy: Emanuele Ianni, from Calabria, and Aniello Zaino, from Naples. Together they keep the kitchen focused on simple, traditional Italian cooking rather than reinvention.

The restaurant serves lunch daily and maintains a dedicated vegan menu alongside its regular offerings, backed by a wine list. Catering and private events round out the operation for guests looking to take the kitchen beyond the dining room.

San Diego Magazine named Italianissimo Trattoria to its Best of 2025 list.
