Sardina's Italian Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in San Diego

The antipasto portion size is very small. Got the Chicken Parmesan and Angel Hair Pasta Shrimp entrees. They were both excellent. Both pastas were cooked to a perfect al dente. What seem at first to be high prices, are fair given the portion sizes and amount of chicken and shrimp in the entrees. They even give a free fresh made mini cannoli for a birthday meal. They are one of the few restaurants that give a nice amount of dressing on a salad. If you are one of the few who like just a dab of dressing, simply ask for it on the side. Update: Got the Chicken Parmesan and Angel Hair Pasta Shrimp entrees. Both were perfectly made and delicious. The sesame garlic bread was very tasty. The prices have increased again, but the portions have remained the same. One of the highlights is that all of the pasta is perfectly cooked al dente, and the red sauce is thick and delicious. This happens not once in a while, but every time we eat here! Update: Got the Chicken Parmesan and Seafood Alfredo. Both were very tasty, however the Alfredo only contained shrimp. We were told there were ground clams in the sauce, but they were undetectable. Update: Got the Chicken Parmesan and Shrimp Scampi. Both were very tasty, however the scampi is not as good a value as the Angel Hair Pasta Shrimp entree. Update: Got the Chicken Parmesan and Angel Hair Pasta Shrimp entrees.

I made reservations a couple months out for my mom's 85th Birthday, only to arrive without our table ready for the front patio. The female server told us we could not get happy hour prices on large parties or reservations. We were there a few weeks earlier with no problem. She said she's been working there for about a year and it's been awhile since they did it. With relatives driving down from Los Angeles, we had no choice but to get a table in the back patio. Everyone received their food except for my Grandson. I asked for it and never got it. I told the waitress to take it off the bill. My fruitti mare was bitter from burned garlic, and the chicken piccatta was flavorless and over cooked. We got our bill and my grandson's meal wasn't taken off the bill. I went inside to get it taken care of. The girl that seated us earlier looked at me and asked "What do you want?" I was shocked the way she spoke to me. I asked her "What do I want?" She repeated it again. I should have told her to change her attitude, but I was so mad, I kept my mouth shut. I've been eating there for years with my family and friends. I've never been so upset with my experience on this big birthday...

So i don't write bad reviews ever, but unfortunately here is one(althought i'm still giving 5 stars). First off - Sardina's is amazing. Great food, staff, environment - all around amazing. Caveat, we used their online web site to order food. I guess they use a 3rd party called slice to order food. Well we ordered a 3 topping pizza and when we got home, we had a cheese pizza. I called slice and sardina's and both told me they would not make me a 3 topping pizza. I then brought the pizza down to Sardinas and asked them if I could get a 3 topping pizza and they said i had to talk to Slice, their online website ordering company. I was so pissed off i left my uneaten pizza with Sardinas. I again called slice and again they said they would do nothing. So pretty much i got screwed by Sardina's 3rd party online ordering system. That being said i can't give Sardina's anything but a 5 star, but i won't go back anytime soon. To be told by a company and Their 3rd party online ordering system that i'm wrong and nothing can be done to fix it is abosultely insane. DO NOT USE THEIR ONLINE ORDERING SYSTEM. CALL THEM BY PHONE or go in...
