"San Diego\u2019s diverse dining scene sometimes offers hungry locals almost too many options, especially when it comes to Italian food. From neighborhood staples that have been throwing down impressive plates of pasta and pizza for years, to showy new spots that aim to shake things up, we\u2019re spoiled with options for a solid Italian meal. To help you hone in on the best places to chow down, here are the nine best Italian restaurants in San Diego.\nBencotto\nLittle Italy\nWhat you\u2019re getting: Pasta. Definitely pasta. You can design your own bowl by selecting the sauce and pasta type of your choice. If you\u2019ve never tried the salsiccia (Italian sausage in a spicy tomato sauce) with a broad noodle, like tagliatelle or pappardelle, it\u2019s time.\nThere\u2019s no better place for pasta in San Diego than Bencotto, where multiple varieties, ranging from fusilli to gnocchi, are made fresh daily. The sleek, industrial decor and energetic dining room make it a great choice for dinner, but floor-to-ceiling windows that splash the space with natural light mean it\u2019s equally excellent as a lunch pick (and because portions are generous, leftovers are more than likely when you dine midday)."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
