What User likes about Il Dandy:
Il Dandy provided a lovely dining experience to my date and I. The food is fresh and healthy, uncommon for an Italian eatery and most welcome. The food is delicious, inventive and each course and dish is complimentary in terms of presentation, texture and taste. The service is warm, friendly, and helpful. The decor is attractive, open and inviting. This is truly a wonderful addition to San Diego's food scene View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Il Dandy:
We have had two great dinners at Il Dandy on weekends but our last dinner on a Tuesday night was not as good. First, the place was empty at Our food, pasta and red snapper, was overcooked. The meal was far too expensive for the quality of food View all feedback.

Il Dandy restaurant in San Diego has received mixed reviews, with some diners expressing disappointment in the bland food and lackluster Valentine's Day prix fixe menu. Others have praised the fresh, healthy, and inventive dishes, complimented by warm and friendly service. The beautiful interior and attentive staff contribute to a pleasant dining experience, though some feel the menu leans too heavily on carbs and salt.

Awful experience- the food was inedible and none of it seemed fresh. The dishes were cold when served and the service was atrocious. We will not be returning.
