What Jim P likes about Cucina Basilico La Mesa:
Some of the best Italian food we have ever had. Fresh, beyond delicious, cooked to perfection. This La Mesa gem should be on every foodies list. Reasonable priced meals that would be $10 more a dish if located in the Gaslamp or other similar locations. Staff owners treat you like family. View all feedback.

Really awesome little place. The bread they bring out is super fresh and warm. The pasta is made in house. The appetizer plate was very generous portions.
