Filippi's in Escondido is a traditional Italian restaurant that offers a mix of experiences for its diners. While some patrons appreciate the old-school ambiance and large portions of classic Italian dishes like lasagna and spaghetti, others find fault with the quality of the pizza and cramped seating arrangements. The pizza, in particular, garners mixed reviews, with some praising it as the best they've ever had, while others criticize the unorthodox toppings and lack of proper preparation.
