Little Italy Restaurant Buon Appetito - The Best Italian Food In Little Italy

Andy Boes — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 02:01:14 +0000

I have lived in Little Italy, San Diego for quite some time now. I am always approached by visitors asking me where the best Italian food restaurant is located. I always have the same answer for them. The answer is Buon Appetito Ristorante Italiano. The food is excellent and very similar in style and taste to the outstanding food in Italy at the more upscale establishments. The Atmosphere at Buon Appetito is excellent. The wine choices are fantastic and the menu is very extensive ranging from seafood pasta to fillet mignon. The bottom line is I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food. It might be a little crowded at times, a little noisy inside, but an outside table facing India St. might take you all the way to Italy for a few hours.

Buon Appetito a Tutti!

Landon Jackson Real Estate Group Client Testimonial - Maureen Sullivan

Andy Boes — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 02:20:14 +0000

Hiring Andrew Boes from Landon Jackson Real Estate was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Knowing that I had limited free time and that I am very particular, Andy listened carefully to my preferences and also observed my life style to determine my real estate needs. In every case, he presented pre-screened homes that matched what I was looking for. He was patient, knowledgeable and smart and did not hesitate to point out deficiencies that I may not have noticed. Not only did he make the process simple, he made it fun.

The bottom line is that Andy made my search for a new home incredibly easy, he handled my transaction with knowledge and confidence.

I have been settling into my new home for about a month. For the firstfr time in my life, I can honestly say that I could live in this home forever.

Opt for a staycation in Little Italy San Diego instead of crossing the pond.

Andy Boes — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 20:12:02 +0000

My husband and I recently returned from the arch and heal of the boot of Italy. We had been to the north years ago and soaked in the beauty, culture and of course became two of the thousands of tourists snapping shots of David, canals, leaning tower, etc,etc,etc.
We decided to explore the part of Italy not in the tourist’s guide books. We stayed at a beach resort or lido as they call an area by the beach named Metaponto. This part of Italy has thousands of acres of picturesque olive groves and vineyards. The major cities are on the Adriatic Sea and the Gulf of Taranto. They are industrial, no one speaks English, no tourist and definitely no Americans renting a car and driving around that region at $10.80 per gallon for diesel fuel!
A high light of our motor exploration was the trip north to Napoli and the crazy drivers in that congested city, currently having a very bad garbage problem. We took the ferry to the isle of Capri and encountered more tourist and higher prices than we had experience all week. So back south with a stop in Pompeii and a drive down the incredible splendor of the Amalfi coast.
The drive south is spattered with hill-top cities glittering in the Italian June sun. The highways were very comfortable for us to navigate, a pleasant surprise for our California psyche.
Also, not on our itinerary was a stop at an Italian hospital when my husband had a slight accident in the resort pool.
We were in and out of the hospital in less than three hours with just a signature from my husband. The hospital was clean and the doctors very competent (with an interpreter). Again, we were there to get to know the people not to be part of the masses on a tour. We certainly achieved that!
We spent the last week in Rome and became one of the tourists and did appreciate the city’s splendor.
We spent an evening attending a concert at Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli. It was an Italian music festival and truly amazing being at a rare archeological discovery hearing music from such happy people.
The trip was superb…….people, food, sights, experiences, no need to go on!
However, back to the $10.80 per gallon and the cost for us to travel with the rate of exchange from dollars to Euros, I think our next trip will be to the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico.
Loretta and Greg Staycationers for now!!

Face Value Boutique in Little Italy Serves up More Than Just Meatballs and Gelato.

Andy Boes — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 17:45:42 +0000

Located in the heart of Little Italy amidst the restaurants and coffee shops you will find Face Value Boutique. Face Value has the best selection of limited edition sneakers and apparel that Little Italy has to offer. The very unique Collection of shoes consist of names like Common Projects, Tretorn, Limited New Balance and PF Flyers. They also sell KZO, Apolis Activism, and Evisu Denim and a few other hard to find brands. Usually Boutiques like Face Value are only found in San Francisco, New York and Europe. Shane and Vince opened Face Value a little over a year ago and the neighborhood has embraced their presence. The shop is located in the trendy Doma building and was outfitted by Mixture located just north of the shop on Kettner Blvd.
The next time you are headed to the mall to fight the crowds and limited parking think about making your way to Little Italy instead. Let the boys at Face Value outfit you head to toe with the latest fashion!

Is Your Home Worth Less Than You Paid For It? Great Time To Lower Your Property Tax In San Diego.

Andy Boes — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 23:18:11 +0000

It might be a good time to get your property tax lowered. Depending on when you purchased your property you might be able to get a lower assessment of value. An assessment is used by local government to assess the value of your property for tax purposes. Example: If you paid $500,000.00 for your home and there are similar homes selling for $400,000.00 then it might be a good time to have your property re-assessed at the lower value. This service is absolutely free and could save you thousands of dollars in property taxes in San Diego County. I have recently had success in lowering my clients property tax based on the recent home sale comps that pertain to their home.

Glamour on Rosecrans Steet? The Pearl Hotel in Point Loma shines bright.

Loretta — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:59:43 +0000

Driving down Rosecrans amidst the inns, hotels, motels and lodges you find a pearl. I drove by the old mid-century Sportsman’s Inn for years and last year I witnessed a metamorphosis. It’s now a trendy 23 room hotel with a number of offerings such as a unique “dive-in” movie night, a evening dining with California growers of produce paired with California wines( all organic), a sumptuous brunch menu and finally a place where the young chic people can go to mix and mingle in this area.
If you are going to stay at this hip and modern hotel, they offer various distinctive rooms, comfy mattresses and a personalized fish as a roommate. (My favorite is Zas Zas). I liked the complimentary rental of cell phones, computers, and bicycles available to their guests. If you decide to take off on a bike, it’s just a short ride to the breathtaking view on San Diego’s Shelter Island. This two mile stretch on a man-made island is eye candy for anyone who loves to watch the activity of the entrance to San Diego’s famous harbor. You’ll see everything from naval ships, yachts, cruisers, fishing boats to just about any other seagoing vessel known to man. From this vantage point you can also see downtown San Diego with a jaw dropping view. As a local I receive a discount for my guests who would stay there when visiting us from out of town. Not only would they enjoy a rare experience in the hotel’s glamorous retro atmosphere but we could meet them for drinks and board games lounging on shag carpet and flash back to the 70’s. I say “bring on the glitz” and will try to book the mirrored ceiling room for my next out of town friends. If we bike to meet them for brunch at The Pearl (bike to brunch deal) it’s half price. Can’t beat exercise and a discount!
So if you want a refreshing change from the Rosecrans Street humdrum, try The Pearl. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
