Ambiance, Great Food, Personal Service

I have dined at The Godfather numerous times over the last 10 years. I have always received personal, courteous service, enjoyed great food and entertainment. Reasonably priced - great for family or dating! Call for reservations - this place is busy!

"Old-time Italian" just "like back East" is the MO at this "consistently outstanding" strip-mall institution in Kearny Mesa, where rotating dinner specials and "value" prices keep diners "coming back"; other pluses include service that's "right-on-the-money" and "charming", "traditionally decorated" surrounds.

Tucked away in a strip mall, this family-owned Italian restaurant has been a local's favorite for 35 years. The original restaurant started by Isidoro Balistreri specialized in...

Love this place. Celebrate our anniversary here every year for many, many years now.

First, we need to understand this is not the usual family dinner type Italian restaurant. It is NOT the typical budget south Italian restaurant. This is a pretty decent Italian restaurant - north Italy style, and operates in style.

Fine Italian Cuisine

Just like the eponymous famed movie, The Godfather Restaurant has carved a niche for itself and is rated as one of the best Italian fine dining establishments in the country. Chef Isidoro Balistreri and wife Maria prepare traditional recipes popular in their hometown Aspra near Palermo, Sicily, and also regional cuisines spanning the entire Italian peninsula. The ambiance is retro and romantic...
