Great room, immaculate and richly furnished. Well located, top class breakfast, we loved it. Make sure you don't get the room without an en-suite More

I stayed 5 days. Chef ashley cooked 5 excellent breakfasts. There are 3 rooms 1 of which has a bath room down the hall. The other 2 have on-suite bathrooms. Maid service must be requested. Parking is across the street which is slightly inconvenient. The beds were comfortable. The airplane noise was possible to get use to. More

I'm staying here right now - so far, so good. As other reviewers mention, Little Italy is a relatively busy area right along the airport flight path, but I live in Chicago, so the noise hasn't bothered me. If you're used to sleeping in silence, this might not be the location for you, but if you are a city dweller,... More

You really feel like you are home. The chef made us breakfast each morning that was gourmet all the way. Could have been served a little earlier but she accommodated us on our last morning as we were the only ones there. The sitting room was great with brochures, tv and homey atmosphere. Each room has a private bath but... More

Our stay in the Italian Bed and Breakfast was perfect for our visit to San Diego. The quaint house with 4 bedrooms and private baths is just a joy! It is unconventional in that most B&Bs we've stayed in were currently occupied by their owner, while this one is not. You check in with Jay at the inn across the... More

We booked 4 nights at the Italian Inn B&B after reading the raving reviews on here, but didn't realize until we arrived that ownership and management had changed as of recently. We were first greeted by a locked front door with a sign hanging on the door with a phone number for us to call in case of an emergency.... More

I recently stayed at the Italian B&B while attending a meeting in San Diego. We've stayed in over 3 dozen B&Bs before. The ads are totally misleading. Our room stated a "private bath". Nothing indicated it was not ensuite... it was down the hall and just off the public eating areas. Although I agree that linens to not need to... More

The owners overbooked the B&B, and directed me to go across the street to stay at Harborview Inn and Suite. Seriously, this happened and I couldn't believe they did that to me. This is despite me calling 3 days prior to arriving to make sure I'll have a room. They said I will, but what they didn't say is it's... More

This place is HORRIBLE. Don't be fooled. I suspect the other reviews on this website are fake because all of the other customers I've talked to here have been disappointed with their stay. I booked a room 4 months in advance. I called 3 days before my stay to confirm my reservation. I showed up to check in and... no... More
