     Asti Ristorante Fine Dining Italian Cuisine is located in the heart of the gaslamp quarter in downtown San Diego.  The staff and service are fantastic while the food is delicious.  Many of the dishes are large family style and there is quite the variety.   For starters, do not miss the fritto misto calamari, which is very tender or Dungeness crab cakes over a house salad.  My top recommendation is the caprese salad with fresh buffalo mozzerella.  If you order a pizza, make sure to have some of that same buffalo mozzerella melted on top as it is out of this world.  The bread is fresh and wonderful but be careful not to eat too much so you don’t get full.

     There is plentiful of salads to choose from as well.  For entrees, it depends on what you are in the mood for.  The menu is so extensive, it is hard to choose from.  There are about 20 different pasta dishes to choose from, risotto,  seafood with a variety of accompaniments including pasta, chicken, veal and meat.  If you cannot decide and want to go for a popular Italian specialty that is not that common anymore in restaurants, go for the Osso Bucco with saffron risotto.  Mix in a nice cocktail or some wine with your meal and enjoy the ambiance and friendliness of the staff.  End with the tiramisu which is home-made and to die for.   For reservations or more information call 619-232-8844 or visit www.astisandiego.com
