The Godfather Restaurant
Category: Italian (77 listings)
Our family would like to thank you for celebrating the old Italian tradition of gourmet cuisine, fine wine and entertainment.
In 1967, Chef Isidoro Balistreri came to San Diego from his native town of Aspra, a small village just outside Palermo, Sicily, bringing to you exquisite recipes from the "Old Country".
In 1974, Isidoro and his wife, Maria, opened San Diego's original Godfather Restaurant to bring you the treasured recipes of Northern and Southern Italy. Thank you for dining with our family.

Consistently excellent food, and service over many, many years. We first went there in 1978, and have been enjoying "THE GODFATHER" ever since. Many of our friends have thanked us for recommending it to them over the decades.

The Godfather is a hidden gem. Quaintly tucked away in a Clairemont strip mall you are surprised upon entry to find a classy environment with the greatest food and service in the San Diego area. Stop by and have the bartender Brent make you a great drink, have some friendly conversation, and see for yourself!
