El Padrino — Restaurant in Baja California

My daughter and I ate here last night. As a lover of Italian food , having been to Italy and many fine restaurants, I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant!!!!! The owner is from Italy of course !!! And he knows how to make authentic Italian food. We ordered the eggplant Parmesan with a side of spaghetti and marinara sauce and let me tell you !!!! that marinara sauce was the most delicious tasting authentic Italian sauce that I'm crying right now because I wanted to get some to go ( next day) and he doesn't open until 3:00 pm and we're leaving San Felipe. 🥺 My daughter ordered the pasta with huge large shrimps and we also ordered the Italian salad which had the perfect dressing and these garlic rolls to die for. We had a nice chat with the owner chef he was a delightful man and at the end of our meal he brought us 2 delicious housemade lemoncello. As we are leaving today I can only say that I wish I had discovered this restaurant 4 days ago as I would have ate every meal here. The staff were great and this is by far my most favorite restaurant from traveling all over the world and I will try to find a way to get back to San Felipe if only to eat here as much as possible. Much thanks to the chef and staff and everybody else. 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘...

What is it with canned mushrooms and processed cheese on pizza in this town??!! 🤮 The pizza was not hot and the cheese and the crust were not browned so that tells me their oven is not hot enough. I think even Fat Boys on the Malecon uses real cheese at least. The crust is also a common bread recipe, not pizza dough. Don't know what the other food tastes like, we only had the pizza. Keep looking if you want a decent pizza. 2 stars for the atmosphere....

Tried dinner for there for the first time tonight. Service was great, food was ok. Had pasta frute di mare. The clams were very small and so were the scallops, the sauce a bit too oily for my taste. The shrimps were a bit overcooked. Let’s put this way, I would not order this dish again. I’ll give it a second try by going for the Veal Marsala, heard it is...
