ive never seen anyone under the age of 40 go into las olas lol

I was there last Friday and I think those over 40 outnumbered both the customers and staff in the under 40 range.

Mid North county IMHO. Not too far a trek if you're in the city. I just saw they finally finished the restaurant across the street, the Pacific Grill. I'm going to try to hit that in the next 2-3 weeks. Never could understand why it stood unfinished for so long, great location.

Yep ill have to try it also. Ill let you go first. I live a mile from there. The old italian place there had a great seafood marinara. Ciopinno.

Lolitas and Aladdin ... Both mid to south North County... (At least North of the 8 )

My gf is about 1.5 miles north of there. I've always been one to proclaim "no cook Friday" back when my son was 3 and I would run out of ideas to cook. I love pesto back from the days of Stephanos in Hillcrest but if you like a nice one Cicciottis has a nice creamy pesto with shrimp and scallops (next to the wine bar in Cardiff).

Oh i know Cicciottis. Great food. Love Pesto. Make my own in fact. My brother used to be co owner of Rimels which is right down the street. He now owns Del Mar Pizza. Less stressful.

We might run into each other at which point I will tell you to go "eff" yourself. LOL

There is another Italian place just up the road that we frequent that has pretty good lasagna. I am terrible when it comes to names but they are just a bit south of the Lumberyard and across the street.

I am pretty simple. I tend to find a dish I like at a restaurant and go with that. I do like spreading things around some.

I think we did Del Mar Pizza. Small place in the same parking lot as Ace Hardware?

Not the same place then. Oh well. Hope he is doing well. I have a thing for wishing the best for good restaurants. Tough business to succeed in. Damned tough.

Yay interactive maps! The internet is your friend.


Bunch of restaurants fitting your description in bankers hill, north park, downtown, little italy, etc. If you're planning any sort of activity before/after I can narrow it down but Downtown, Hillcrest, North Park triangle is stuffed full of sit-down date spots. Some good stuff in Clairemont but you're mainly going to find delis and counter service.
