Food: Bencotto, Little Italy, San Diego, Day 13

June 30, 2012 -- After a long afternoon at the Safari Park, Enrique and I figured a nice relaxing dinner in Little Italy would do the trick.  Since we had visited to Little Italy before, we remembered a chic restaurant called Bencotto that we knew we needed to try.  Bencotto specializes in home made pasta that they cook on the premises.  Let me tell you, that was the freshest pasta I ever had!  I had the traditional pasta and meatballs, and the meatballs were to die for!  Even the salads were made with hand-picked tomatoes and vegetables.  A must see place if you're ever in the Little Italy section of San Diego.  However, be prepared to wait a long time if you don't call for reservations.  Me and Enrique ate at the bar instead of waiting two hours for a table!!!

With full bellies and a stop for some chocolate gelato, we called it a night by 9:30 PM.  On a Saturday.  In San Diego.  I know, lame, but when you're tired, you're tired!
