He dropped it off as his last act of service before he walked out the door. Thank you Dave and Co for always making us feel so welcome and giving Encinitas a home away from home.“

Alice is very passionate about her job and we loved her homemade desserts sooo much. A special mention to Michele, a very young yet extremely professional waiter, who contributed to create a cozy and pleasant atmosphere! As Italian, I can say it's hard to find place such Alice's where you feel so vividly the warm of our country. We will definitely come back!“

La Costa Wine Winery • $$
7750 El Camino Real L, Carlsbad - 3.45 miles

“La Costa Wine Co.
A locally owned and operated wine and craft beer shop with a great twist—there’s a welcoming area in the back where you can enjoy an impressive selection of wines and beers, paired with excellent cheeses, cold cuts, and flatbreads.
From the moment you walk in, there’s a genuine sense of community. I met some amazing people and truly felt the family atmosphere that the owners have created. A big part of that comes from the team—Alessa, Reggie, Fernando, Andrew, Connor, Trianna, and Shawn—who were all fantastic: welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging, making the experience feel personal and relaxed.
The space has a modern wine-cellar vibe, complemented by a really well-curated mix of music. You can immediately tell the owner is hands-on and has a great eye for building a team that fits the culture—friendly, passionate, and never pretentious.
I visited a couple of Sundays in a row and found it to be the perfect balance: not overly busy, but lively enough to feel engaging and social. I also went back on a Friday, and it was lively and buzzing—a great energy without feeling overwhelming. Even better, the owner is truly hands-on, consistently checking in on guests around the room and making sure everyone is having a great experience.
They offer memberships and host regular tasting events, which adds even more value for locals. This is truly a great neighborhood wine bar set in an upscale yet relaxed environment.
It’s absolutely worth stopping by just to browse the excellent wine and beer selection—but like me, you’ll probably find yourself drawn to the back area, where the magic really happens.“

“Crust is one of those places that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. It’s a warm, welcoming pizzeria and Italian restaurant tucked away in La Costa, and it’s quickly become one of my new favorites. We had the chance to meet one of the owners, and she couldn’t have been more friendly and genuine — the kind of hospitality that makes the whole experience even better.

The food was absolutely delicious — classic Italian comfort done right — and the drinks were outstanding. It’s the perfect spot whether you’re out for a date night, grabbing dinner with family, or catching a game with friends. I really enjoyed our evening and can’t recommend Crust enough.“
