The Brig is our go-to. We always know the food will be great, service fantastic and the noise level low.

Our server was Betty. She was awesome. Had a great experience.

Inviting entrance, delightful decor highlighting lemons, Italian handmade pasta & glass floral chandeliers. Warm welcome from wait staff. Delicious wine selection & varied menu. I highly recommend the House Merlot. It is slightly fruity & quite smooth. The bread is fresh, includes Italian loaf & focaccia slices and is served with a tasty compound butter. Two of us selected Occobuco and were very happy with our choice. The pork was tender & well seasoned. The accompanying risotto was creamy and the spinach sautéed to perfection. The five cheese fettuccini pasta was theatrically prepared in an aged cheese wheel combining fresh cream & cheese both torch heated to an incredibly delicious, creamy al dente dish. The Pollo Franchise was moist, tender & served with earthy seasoned sautéed mushrooms, whipped potatoes & crunchy broccolini. All dishes arrived piping hot and each member of my party thoroughly enjoyed their meals.. Roberto was attentive, gracious & kind. The birthday tiramisu was delivered in a copper dish with a lighted candle. The mascarpone was creamy & minimally sweet with a light dusting of chocolate powder both of which set this dessert apart from all others I have tried. The heartfelt rendition of Happy Birthday led by Roberto was melodic & joyful. The noise level made table discussion a bit difficult. Acoustic adjustments would only enhance this wonderful & delectable dining experience. We will be back. Limoncello is a must visit in La Mesa!

Mario's has the best servers! The food was great. I loved my mole and we had churros and ice cream for dessert since it was Valentine's Day, but they had special chocolate dipped strawberries for the night too. The only thing about Marios - and it's a little thing - is that the lighting is super bright in the main dining area. We usually like to sit on a booth on the north side of the restaurant because of that or outside if the weather is nice. I wish there was less intensely bright lights in the big dining area. It's a little thing, but I think it would make a big difference.

Excellent food...great nachos and chicken wings. TV's all around the room so was a great spot to watch the game.
