Mattarello Cooking Lab - San Diego

Pasta was tough and sauce was flavorless. Only one server who worked hard but had to do too much. No wine onsite and tea was served in the plastic bottle. Usually I trus Open Table and when the ratings arre high it means the restaurant is really good, but not this time :

Its very cozy it feels like you are at your family's kitchen where everyone is very casual and moving around.

The food was authentic and very good. The service was also fantastic. The only downside was that they do not serve alcohol. We had to go to the liquor store a few doors down to get wine and they uncorked it for us (they did not charge us a fee). A tiny bit of an inconvenience, but I would expect wine to be on the menu at an Italian restaurant.

Unique experience! Food was great but service a tad spotty!

The cooking lab is a great place for groups of friends to make their own pasta. They do not sell alcoholic beverages, but you css as n go next door and buy your own. The owners are very nice.
