Business Description from the Web
From the red checkered table cloths to the hundreds of chianti bottles strung from the ceiling, this pizza grotto is a classic experince in Italian-American dining.

Filippis Pizza Grotto has by far the best Italian food for the price in san diego. The pastas and pizzas are amazing. You can also get a really good salad or a sub sandwich.
