Pomodoro , San Diego

Antonino Mastellone and Fabio Speziali have united to quietly extend the Mastellone restaurant empire to a new location in San Diego: Point Loma. Banking on relatively low-priced, traditional-with-a-mild-twist Italian cuisine, the Pomodoro looks to hold its own alongside its sibling restaurants which include Arrivederci and Buon Appetito, other Mastellone inventions and protegées. But there's more than pasta—the steaks and veal dishes are generally very good. The tiramisu is not venturing into any new territory, but is excellent and large enough to share. Maybe. - deTraci Regula
