Roman trattorias are a timeless expression of simplicity. Immune to the lure of gastronomic experimentation and ego. In Rome, no chef can cook better than the mothers and grandmothers before them. Our goal is to merge the dogmatic approach of Roman cooking with the amazing abundance of ingredients available to us in San Diego. A True Roman Holiday In SD.

A 4% surcharge is added to all guest checks.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Alabaster statues and trickling fountains add a Roman holiday-like ambience to this rooftop trattoria. Enjoy lighter spins on Italian food like wood-fired prawns and pizza made with three-day fermented dough. Seneca lives on the 19th floor of the InterContinental, so your Roman feast comes with equally delicious Marina District views.

    Great food in a great setting… and great cocktails too. The Lasagna is huge! Its enough for at least two ( maybe 3 people) The Arancini risotto appetizer is amazing. Please note the corkage fee is 45 dollars.

    Fantastic food. We got there early, about 10 minutes prior to them opening and we didn’t know where to go. Accidentally went into the wrong room and an employee was very unfriendly and told us to leave. Fortunately he was not serving in the restaurant. Everyone else was really kind. Great views and delicious food and drinks
