Babbo Grande

I've been really busy, so this is a quickie...  I read about Babbo Grande on the San Diego Reader's website and recently checked them out.  Their Fruit & Cheese Plate ($7) looked good on the menu, but I should have asked what kinds of cheeses they had.  Their "specialty" cheeses were disappointing.  (Afterwards, we walked several blocks to Taste Artisan Cheese & Gourmet Shop to pick up some treats for later.)

Mr. H. said the Beef Stroganoff ($10) was good, but it contained more mushrooms than beef.  My Vegetarian Lasagna ($12) was also good.  The marinara sauce was zesty.  They also have a pretty large selection of crepes, breakfast, and vegetarian items.  Overall, the hearty portions are reasonably priced and the staff was friendly.
