If you cannot bask under the Tuscan sun, this award-winning restaurant is the next best thing. This place is incredibly popular and walk-ins should expect an extensive wait. Warm, rustic walls complement indoor dining, but the outdoor gazebo offers a spectacular view of La Jolla Cove. Popular items include Pizza Veronese, which combines pesto, roasted chicken, fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and goat cheeses. The Halibut in Italian Sauce is a favorite. The spectacular wine list offers more than 500 selections, including older vintages and rare wines.
