We came to Panzano on a whim to celebrate our 6 month wedding anniversary and it surpassed our expectations! I note that we came on a whim because we did not make a reservation prior to walking in and waited over an hour for a table since they were fully booked that evening. This was completely our fault for poor planning so I highly highly suggest making a reservation in advance to ensure you secure a table! I promise it won't disappoint! Our waiter was incredible, and I am now kicking myself for not remembering his name because he truly was so great! We ordered the calamari to start and a bottle of wine to share - the manager came over to our table to open it for us and told us that at no point should we be serving ourselves, and he wasn't wrong! When our waiter or other employee saw our glasses almost empty, they immediately came over to refill us. Talk about incredible service! The calamari was delicious, we loved the veggies tossed in the mix, but our entrees stole the show! My Husband ordered a mushroom pizza and I ordered the Agnolotti, which is served with a pasta similar to ravioli, in a pesto ricotta sauce. Delightful! It was the perfect way to celebrate our wedding anniversary!

My Husband and I visited The Spot on an early Sunday evening while visiting La Jolla, we actually had seen it in passing and when I was researching restaurants on Yelp later that day, The Spot came up with good reviews and had a good list of beer selections so we thought we'd give it a try! It did not disappoint! The Spot seems like a cool "spot" (pun intended) to catch a game as they had multiple TVs, plenty of seating, a decent sized bar and lots of long tables for larger groups. It gives off the "sports bar" vibes while maintaining a clean, relaxed environment. They offer a great selection of menu items, offering a good variety of something for everyone! We ordered the fried pickles as an appetizer, and I ordered the Beer Battered Fish & Chips as my entrée while my Husband ordered the Garbage Burger - both dishes were really good! I will say the portions are a decent size, especially if your dish comes with fries, so come hungry!
