It’s difficult to find good food in certain corners of San Diego County, but thankfully Tierrasanta has Andiamo! The first hint that we will like Javier Ugarte’s family-style restaurant comes when fresh-baked rosemary focaccia and an accompanying chunky tomato-basil dip hits the table. Artichoke hearts stuffed with goat cheese and walnuts in a brown butter sage sauce make for a lovely starter. The menu combines salads, appetizers and pizzas with specialties like the garlicky portobello scampi, the prosciutto and fig pizza and the brick oven-baked chicken rolls with goat cheese, polenta and mushrooms. Duck breast rests on a bed of wild mushroom ravioli and is adorned with a port cranberry reduction. Ugarte's tender veal scallopine in a lemon caper sauce is another winner. And like all good Italian spots, Andiamo! serves a mean tiramisu.
