"Why was I not introduced to this place sooner?! A little old house in Coronado is the perfect spot for this chic restaurant. I love supporting mom and pops!\nBeing vegan, I always worry about what my menu options are. So, when I find a place with tasty vegan options, I'm all for yelling from the mountaintops! La Piccola Cucina has wonderful options for people with common dietary restrictions (gluten-free and vegan options). I ordered a sandwich with roasted eggplant, sun-dried tomato, fresh basil and balsamic reduction drizzle on ciabatta bread. The sandwich normally comes with mozzarella cheese, but I got it sans cheese. It's pure heaven in your mouth.They have refreshing iced green tea, along with a great selection of wines. I ordered blood orange sorbet and it was to die for. I think I am going to plant a blood orange tree, just so I can try to make some of it at home! There are tons of gelato flavors, with at least a couple that are dairy-free.\nThe portions are big, the food is flavorful and the prices are extremely reasonable. Andy, the owner, is awesome. He is always checking in to see how patrons are doing and is very personable. You can tell his life's passion is food. And, thank god for that! I've been now twice this week and hope that more people try it. I just ate there last night and I already crave more...."^^ . . "5"^^ . "1"^^ . . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ . "2010-10-03T00:00:00"^^ .
