Service Areas
Sicilian cooking on Mercy Road, five minutes from most of North Inland San Diego — dine in, cater, or book the room.
Where Amuri Sits
Amuri is in the Canyon Hills Shopping Center at 9932 Mercy Rd, Unit 109, right on the line between Mira Mesa and Rancho Peñasquitos, in the space that was Pernicano's Ristorante for nearly fifty years.
That puts us within a short drive of most of North Inland San Diego. We serve dine-in guests from across the area, cater to homes and offices nearby, and host private parties for groups coming in from all of the neighborhoods below.

Neighborhoods We Serve
Drive times are typical off-peak estimates from the 92129 shopping center on Mercy Road.
Mira Mesa
We sit in the northeast corner of the Mira Mesa community plan area — the closest sit-down Sicilian kitchen to the neighborhood, about 5–10 minutes from most of it. Popular for weeknight family dinners, happy hour and team lunches from the Mira Mesa business parks.
Rancho Peñasquitos
We share the 92129 ZIP with Rancho Peñasquitos and are a two-minute drive from the RP line. If you knew Pernicano's, you already know where to find us. Catering and private parties for PQ homes and schools are a regular part of what we do.
Scripps Ranch
Roughly ten minutes south on Pomerado or Scripps Poway Parkway. A short enough hop for a Wednesday dinner and close enough for hot catering delivery to Scripps Ranch offices and homes.
Sabre Springs & Poway
Under ten minutes via Ted Williams Parkway or Poway Road. Rehearsal dinners, birthdays and team gatherings from Poway and Sabre Springs are among our most common private-event bookings.
Carmel Mountain Ranch
About ten minutes north on Rancho Peñasquitos Boulevard or the 15. Easy for a date-night Monday or a Restaurant Week table without fighting downtown parking.
4S Ranch & Del Sur
Fifteen minutes west on Camino del Norte. Worth the drive for handmade pasta, and a good option for catering a 4S Ranch party without a downtown price tag.
Rancho Bernardo
Fifteen minutes up the 15. Corporate lunches and client dinners from the RB business corridor are a good fit for our fixed group menus.
Miramar & Sorrento Valley
Ten to fifteen minutes south. Close enough for a real lunch break — lunch specials and panini run from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
What We Do Across the Area
Dine In
Lunch, dinner, happy hour and date night in the dining room, at the bar or on the covered patio.
Catering
Sicilian trays and full spreads delivered to homes, offices and venues across North Inland San Diego.
Private Events
Birthdays, rehearsal dinners, corporate nights and holiday parties, with fixed menus and reserved seating.
Questions From the Neighborhood
Are you in Mira Mesa or Rancho Peñasquitos?
Both answers are defensible. The restaurant sits inside the Mira Mesa community planning area, in its northeast corner, and carries the 92129 ZIP code that covers most of Rancho Peñasquitos. The Rancho Peñasquitos boundary is about a two-minute drive away.
Do you deliver catering to my neighborhood?
We cater across North Inland San Diego — Mira Mesa, Rancho Peñasquitos, Scripps Ranch, Poway, Sabre Springs, Carmel Mountain Ranch, 4S Ranch and Rancho Bernardo. Call (858) 397-2199 with your date, headcount and address.
Is there parking?
Yes — free lot parking in the Canyon Hills Shopping Center, right out front.
Weren't you Pernicano's?
We are in the space Pernicano's Ristorante occupied for nearly fifty years. Amuri is a separate, family-owned Sicilian restaurant opened by a family from Bagheria.
What are your hours?
Monday through Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Worth the Drive
Handmade pasta, Sicilian classics and a full bar, ten minutes from most of North Inland San Diego.
