On our list of the best cozy restaurants in San Diego.

A Mediterranean menu with Baja influences anchors this Pacific Beach lounge, running from tuna crudo and branzino to a mole-mushroom dish, opened in 2024 by Leo and Christine Landini of Landini's Restaurant Group, which also runs Landini's Pizzeria and Ristorante Illando. It takes reservations but also seats walk-ins, staying open past midnight Thursday through Saturday. Oversized banquettes and hand-painted murals line the interior, with a patio and firepits outside.
