    Our go to place for a good Italian dinner. The cioppino is a favorite of our family, but check out the veal and specials too. The wine list is decent, and there’s a list of specialty cocktails as well. Staff is friendly and attentive. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

    Went to 333 for my boyfriend’s birthday and they did not disappoint! Our server Karen was on point with everything. She recommended the calamari and the dry aged New York strip and both were beyond amazing! They even brought out a hand written happy birthday plate in chocolate! We will be back!

    Excellent night out! We started with drinks at the bar and Colin was our bartender. The drinks were excellent and he was so kind. At the table we had Victoria and Harold. Both were attentive and awesome! The sommelier made an excellent recommendation for a bottle of wine. And the food was delicious and beautiful! Highly recommend! We will be back! Great date night!!

    This was such a good selection for a date night out while on a big family vacation in Encinitas. Our server was very friendly, knowled,and attentive. The ambiance was somewhat rustic but a very keen eye for detail. We started with the beef tartare special and it was a great start to a fantastic experience. Everything was delicious. Great restaurant.
