Hungry Lu's — Restaurant in San Diego

My hubs and I tried this spot for the very first time on a Sunday afternoon. I’ll start by saying parking wasn’t as easy to find since there is only street parking. We were lucky to find parking half a block away. It was nice to walk in the area since it’s a beach community.

Seating is only outside with a few more tables that are not in the picture. There are two stools at a table inside in case you don’t want to sit outside. The inside is very small. Probably the size of a bathroom but there is a ramp for wheelchair access. Please see photo.

It took about 10 minutes to get our food even though there was no one ahead of us. We ordered the Italian sub. You get an option to have it served hot or cold; we chose hot. Nice we got our sub, it was lukewarm. Not as hot as I would have liked but warm enough. By the time I finished my first sandwich it was cold. The sandwiches come cut into beautifully equal portions all wrapped up nice and tight.

We had only two bread options, sesame seed or regular; we chose sesame seed. The outer shell of the bread was lightly crisp and pleasantly flaky. The veggies were very fresh, crispy, and lightly sprinkled with pepper. The meat was warm and flavorful. The sandwich was pleasantly sprinkled with oil adding moisture to each bite.

My only recommendation would be to have more yellow peppers. I discovered when I would finally bite into the sandwich with a yellow pepper, I enjoyed it more. bite without the yellow pepper it seemed a little bland. I would ask for extra yellow peppers for that added salt.

We also ordered a cannoli. This cannoli was probably one of the best in San Diego. The outer shell was crispy and had the perfect crunch sprinkled with powdered sugar. The cream filling was a perfect cool temperature, well blended with a light taste of lemon. I loved the small chocolate morsels and every bite. We don’t have anything negative to say about their cannolis.

Our overall experience was very pleasant. People walking by were very friendly and sometimes we strike a conversation with us. This is a perfect beach spot for that lunch to top off your afternoon. If you are in the area of Ocean Beach, give this...

I came here purposely to try out the Amaretti cookies. My sister LOVES these type of cookies and there were reviews on Yelp that they make them here. I came here and bought 5 of them ($1 a piece - a bit pricey for the size of the cookie) and 2 wedding cookies. They did have sandwiches too that looked appealing but I did not get any at this time. The wedding cookies were a bit dry and tasted a little bit burnt. However, the outside sugar powder was delicious. (Almond flavor) The Amaretti cookies were AMAZING. They were chewy and had a super delicious flavor. If you are expecting the cookies to be harder (like the small imported Italian ones), they are not so hard. They are a little bit hard around the outside, but oh so chewy and sweet and flavorful inside. I will definitely be marking this spot as my favorite place to get these...

Easily the Best cannoli in town! These guys not only make their own cannoli shells but the ricotta cream filling is this ultra tasty, whipped to perfection cream that you just can't stop eating. All the other sweet treats are no less impressive. Many types of cookies and all of them fresh and uncompromisingly delicious. Definitely try the macaroons and the chocolate dipped cookies. On the sandwich side they make spectacular subs, mostly with traditional Italian ingredients, some of them toasted. I just had the eggplants and mozzarella sammy and it's an instant favorite. There is some outside seating, so you can enjoy your lunch/dessert without delay. A great contribution to the...
