- JjessicaSan Diego •4 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoFabulous food, cozy ambiance & gracious service. This is a family favorite restaurant, and we love coming to Cesarina to celebrate special occasions. The pastas & antipasti are all so delicious. The carpaccio is superb & sliced so thin it's transparent. My husband always orders a pasta allo scoglio (seafood pasta), my daughter pasta with bolognese, and my son & I usually order a house special - which is oftentimes a ravioli or other stuffed pasta. Also, be sure to save room for the absolute best tiramisu ever. It's an easily shareable dessert... and it's made tableside & completely out of this world delicious! My daughter loves Cesarina so much that we've celebrated a family lunch together at the restaurant for the past few birthdays :) The staff are always so warm & friendly, and we've loved the keepsake Polaroids of her every year! Mille grazie, and thank you so much for making every meal so memorable.More infoCesarinaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Ocean Beach•4.9
- LLakeyshaVIPChicago / Illinois •11 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOne of the best restaurants in San Diego. Our first 3 restaurants served warm, bland, mediocre food. Being a foodie from Chicago, I am particular about what I consume. Wonderful wait staff, piping hot meals, strong cocktails and generous portions defined our meal.More infoNorth Italia - Fashion ValleyPrice: Expensive• Italian• Mission Valley•4.7
- LLauraPhoenix / Arizona •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe food, service and atmosphere were all wonderful. Stefano was our server and he was amazing! They were able to accommodate a simple cheese pizza for our kids, Stefano provided an exceptional wine pairing recommendation, and overall a great experience. Can’t wait to return.More infoBarbusaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Little Italy•4.6
- JJoelleVIPSan Diego •11 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had a lovely new years brunch (though I do wish they actually served brunch fare). Everything was very delicious! The service, while very friendly and accommodating, got a little slow toward the end as it got busier, which is understandable. It would’ve been okay except we were in a booth that was one of two they have for parties of six but maybe six short, slim people? Pretty uncomfortable, especially in that corner spot, I spent the whole meal with my arms up over the back of the booth. I’m chubby but the rest of my party were regular sized men and one slim woman and we all felt squashed. But otherwise, a beautiful meal on a lovely day.More infoSenecaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown / Gaslamp•4.7
