Fun Bressi Ranch neighborhood restaurant! My short rib dinner was delicious and the presentation was lovely! We split a Caesar Salad and the restaurant split it onto two dishes. The server was efficient.

Update, I went back, and the food was really good. The gnocchi was excellent. I would recommend giving them a try. Durring the first visit the smoked chicken rigatoni had one of the best sauces I have ever eaten. The first bite was awesome, unfortunately the chicken was really tough, and the bread was stale. I may go back, the recipes were good I think I just went on an off night.

Love this place. Been here 2 times and wish it was more often. Fresh food, amazing cocktails, great wine selection.

The appetisers were very good, especially the meatballs. Nice atmosphere, easy parking, great service.

Everything was great!!! There was live music playing. We sat outside on the patio. Great service, great food!

Such an amazing place !! Great food- great family atmosphere— the staff is incredible!! Francisco is the best!!!! Thank you for always welcoming my family L Williams

Nice spot for a drink and Happy Hour menu with a friend. Sat at the bar and the bar stools are surpringly comfortable. Good margarita and we shared the meatballs with polenta and truffle fries, yum!

Always great to visit Tommy V's. You saved my evening! She was already upset with me that we didn't pick a place near the beach. My wife is ultra picky and as we were driving up she got really excited about the fact that we were heading there. A little drinks, great food, great service, and a little dessert at the end! 👍🏿

The SDSU game was on at the bar! The patio is heated. Loved the service and food was excellent

I enjoyed the atmosphere. May be a little loud for some if you are wanting a romatic evening. But, it was a fun place with good menu choices. Our server was good and informative. He was very attentive to a new busser and he paid particular attention to him to make sure he was doing a good job. I could tell he takes his job in hospitality seriously. I don't see that passion everywhere anymore. So it was refreshing to see someone caring enough to train a person right. We ordered the Warm Brie and Crispy Apple Bruchetta as a appetizer. It was very different from any type of appetizer I have ever had. I thought it was unique and I liked the honey drizzle on top. But, i thought it needed a bit more flavor. Maybe a hint of spice, like nutmeg or a faint dusting of a savory herb like thyme. Not sure, but I am glad I tried it. My friend tried the Chicken Picata and enjoyed the dish very much. The Salmon and Artichoke was good, but I was expecting the artichoke to be like the one on the appetizer menu. I must have misunderstood what the waiter said because it was just the leaves of the artichoke on tops of the salmon and not a long-stemed artichoke with garlic, lemon sauce, and red pepper flakes like the appetizer. It definitely had lemon sauce on it, a little too much for me, but I asked for red pepper flakes to add to it. I was a bit surprised there were mashed potatoes served with it instead of pasta, but I they were very good. There was live music which was very enjoyable . The restaurant was very crowded. It seemed like it is a very well-liked place. Very lively atlosphere.

Don't tell me below that Saturday is the busiest night! Everyone knows that. Then staff up accordingly! We should not have to wait 80 minutes in total for our dinner order to be taken. That's outrageous! My review: Too many chances, never again. I rarely ever write long reviews but here I'm taking the time to do so. We've been here 4 times over the course of many years since it has opened. 3rd time was in 2017 and service was horrible and food mediocre. That time we went for my mom's birthday and there were only 3 other tables filled (we went early because my parents are older). No reason for the bad service. Because of the new ownership we finally decided to give it a try last night Jan 28, 2023 for my husband's birthday. We arrived 20 min earlier than our reservation time and got seated immediately at 5:40 and the hostess was awesome. Waiter came about 5 min later and super nice. We ordered our first drinks the old fashioned and they were great (shoutout to bartender). Ordered the filet mignon blue cheese appetizer and that came out around 6:15pm. Appetizer was absolutely nothing special for $24. Bread was hard and dry. All it was chopped up overcooked filet mignon with sprinkled blue cheese and chopped tomatoes. I could have made that home. No sauce drizzle like it claimed it had. The worst part of the evening was service. Our waiter waited on every packed table in the restaurant. It was just him on a Saturday night. We never saw him again. 7pm rolled around and we were now waiting 45 min to get our dinner order taken....taken not served!! The two ladies next to us were there before us trying to flag the waiter down with no luck. I saw one of the ladies get up and talk to someone by the kitchen and i think it was the manager. Probably about the service if I were to guess. I flagged down a buser kid at 7pm and asked him for the check. Oh right then and there our waiter appeared behind him and asked me can I help you? Um no homey too late....45 min too late. You knew it was my husband's birthday (I told him at 5:45pm) and you basically ruined the dinner. We paid and went across the street for a nice birthday dinner instead. Never again Tommy Vs and I will tell all my friends and family to avoid you.

Always feel like family when my husband and I eat at Tommy V’s which keep us coming back for special occasions or when I just don’t feel like cooking dinner. Francisco and Aaron run an amazing restaurant with delicious food. Great atmosphere! I always get the chicken parmigiana with gnocchi which was delicious. My husband changes it up but tonight had rigatoni and meatballs and there was nothing left on his plate tonight so I think he liked it. We also had the pleasure of meeting the hostess Brooklyn tonight and we wish her the best of luck in college. Amazing customer service! Thank you :)

Last week, we dined at Tommy V's with a group. Most of us ordered the seabass, which was fresh and perfectly seasoned. The rice and veggie sides were also well prepared and not mushy, despite the late hour at which we ordered. The service at this concept was the best I've experienced in recent years. This is definitely a new "go-to" for us. I would highly recommend this concept for a fun evening out and a fantastic dining experience. Bravo, and thanks for a truly delightful evening!

This is one of the few restaurants i go back to often. Great food, great staff, very friendly and welcoming. I really enjoy the open air, clean, upscale interior design. Very classy!

Definitely not authentic but the food is way overpriced and they don't know how to justify price, I mean 28 dollars for chicken?!!!

I don't usually leave a negative review but My recent visit to Tommy V's urban kitchen and bar was an utter disappointment. The server displayed zero attentiveness, consistently brought incorrect orders, and failed to provide any compensation for their abysmal service. I strongly advise against dining at this establishment.

Fun place with a fantastic staff. I've been twice. Same waiter both times. He is a real pro. We need more places like this. Take the whole family

I called in for the take-out special, which is a terrific deal. The hostess had the kindest over the phone voice and was very helpful. Three staff memebers came by to make sure that I’ve been helped. The pizza, salad and wine were all excellent, we will definitely be back.

I went to lunch with a group of 9 co-workers. I was considering missing it completely because the lunch menu didn't have anything vegan & gluten free however I looked at the dinner menu and I saw that they offer a vegan ravioli with gluten free pasta. When we arrived I asked the waiter if I could order from the dinner menu, he checked with the kitchen and I was happy to hear that I could. My dish was delicious and light. Great, simple flavors. The gluten free pasta was not "chewy" and the vegan cheese center was very tasty, not over the top "vegan cheesy" (if you know what I mean.) I would definitely go back since there is something I can order and enjoy. The service was also good.

My family and I have eaten here many times over the years and the food and drinks are always amazing. The service is also friendly and attentive from Francisco and his team, and they are so accommodating to our 2 young girls. My favorite dishes are the mushroom pizza and artichoke, but everything else we have tried, whether it’s the pasta dishes, seafood, burger, or appetizers, are fantastic as well. This is an awesome place and our family will always come here for a great dining experience!

Must try some appetizers. Every dish we tried had it's own unique flavor. Very tasty

Our group of four had dinner here. I had the gnocchi and sausage, my wife had the rigatoni with fried eggplant, and the other couple both had the fried eggplant and the linguini with clams. They were very generous with the clams and sausage, but maybe a little skimpy on the eggplant. Everything was very flavorful and tasty. The service was great, and all the staff was extremely friendly. They have a small outdoor dining area, as well as ample indoor seating, and a nice bar. The restaurant is decorated with old photos from various old-school Italian restaurants. Prices are very fair.

Came for lunch with a party of 7 on a Wednesday around 1:30pm. There were maybe 4 or 5 other smaller parties dining there. 5/7 of us ordered salads and the other two ordered a sandwich and pasta, respectively. The food was great. The service was friendly. However, we had to wait nearly an hour for the food to come out. Would recommend if you’re not in a rush.

I love sitting outside on the patio, enjoying a cocktail, listening to live music and enjoying their food.

The food was very good. We totally enjoyed it. Before the meal, a waiter came in with the bread basket and plopped it on top of the menu my friend was looking at. I thought that was rude. He didn't say sorry at all even when he realized what he'd done. Even if you're known for great food, the attitude of your staff says a great deal about your business.
