"De Medici opened years ago, one of the original restaurants in the area, and has always been a popular destination. The dining room's interior is chic and comfortable. Large, comfortable booths, which are reminiscent of seating in Las Vegas showrooms, frame the room. A heated patio is available for outdoor seating. The restaurant is owned by Sal Vitale, a dapper, well-dressed genial man who exudes hospitality. He greatly enjoys pleasing his guests. 'I want my restaurant to be the kind that Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin would have liked to dine at,' Vitale said. De'Medici serves some of the best Italian cuisine in the Gaslamp. It is expensive but well worth it."
