Breakfast Menu "Antica Trattoria" La Mesa

We had chicken and veal dishes. The food was amazing. The fresh baked bread was great too. We give it a plus 10. Our waitress was wonderful and liked the smaller venue. We will be back to try other dishes. We came back again. Food is so good I'll keep coming back.

We have been dining here for years and every meal has been excellent. They have a great selection of wines and cocktails, authentic Italian food that never disappoints and yummy desserts of course. Service is always impeccable. This is for sure my favorite Italian place 👌

We tried this place during restaurant week, I wasn’t impressed. I ordered the mussels as an appetizer which was served with Italian sausage crumbles, not what I expected. My partner had bruschetta with goat cheese and pear, it wasn’t very flavorful so he dipped it in the broth of my mussels. For the main course I had the crab linguine, it was also lacking flavor so I added some salt to make it slightly better.

Good service but honestly very disappointing food for the price. The salad shown in the picture was eleven dollars and honestly the Caesar dressing was overly sweet. Again. 11 dollars for that. 23 dollars for pasta with zero protein. The food tastes fine but is absolutely overpriced. Our table was by the kitchen and I noticed they also just had a bottle of glaze just sitting out in a generic brand bottle. The glaze they charge you excessive amounts for as if it's home made as a wine reduction. The food is fine. The service was great. But it's excessively expensive when it's not food worth being such.

My wife & I have seen this place on numerous occasions but had never tried it. Was driving through the parking lot last night and the line to get in was quite long, so I thought the food has to be good. We did not know that the restaurant opens at 4:30 PM, so when we walked in at 4:35 and saw it empty we weren't sure if they were open yet. Fortunately for us they were. The service, atmosphere and most importantly the food was INCREDIBLE! I tried the squash ravioli and the minute the first bite hit my tongue I was in culinary heaven! It truly was a master piece. My wife ordered the Linguine, which was full of mussels, clams and shrimp. She too enjoyed her entrée. We cannot wait for our next visit. Alessandra, thank you! Every recommendation that you made was on point!

Sometimes I forget about this hidden gem that's tucked away in an unassuming strip mall. We had probably one of the best appetizers ever, brushcetta with gorgozola, crispy prosciutto and fig topped with balsamic drizzle. So delicious! For my entree I had the cioppino which is always a favorite dish of mine, the broth is excellent. The paper airplane cocktail was perfect, not too sweet not to tart. Service was attentive. We will definitely be back.

Delicious food. Great service. Only dinged the atmosphere bc it was a bit crowded, but isn’t that what you want in a trattoria? Heather our waitress did not steer us wrong on any of her recommendations. It was a festive and bustling atmosphere. Great spot to get some authentic Italian food and wine. Highly recommend giving this place a go.

Delicious authentic Italian food in a cozy setting. Extensive wine selection and good offering of beers and cocktails too. Check the specials, we had the Alaskan cod fillet with tomatoes, olives, and capers and would heartily recommend it and the Brasato.
