Cesarina is our favorite place for a special meal. The patio ambiance is so relaxed and comfortable. The service is impeccable without being stuffy and the food is just amazing. Don't miss the tiramisu. Thanks Daniele for a great evening

Food is good, presentation is a plus with decorative plates. The place was busy so the noise level was high with all chatting along with the plane noise. Parking is a challenge. Patio seating is not that comfortable. Probably will not be back too soon but others seems to really like it so I would not discourage them from giving it a try. Rate 1-10, IMO a 6.

The service here is very good. Also the pasta was amazing. We got one of the specials and I got the Fungi. Both were excellent. They have a good wine list. They could use a little more help with their mocktail list as there were only 2 options other than your typical sodas. Hopefully that progresses more. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. I'd highly recommend.

I had a great dinner date with my husband. He wrote a full review in the local SD foodie group. Here is a summary: It's very good - one of two Italian restaurants we are happy with in San Diego. Casual, happy vibe, good food, great service, and a very reasonable valet stress free parking. Atmosphere is very casual and laid back, the servers are friendly and attentive.

This is one of the most thoughtful restaurants I’ve ever been at. All the way from the desert menu to the decor to how they celebrate your special occasion, every detail matters to them. The food is no different.I had the tiramisu, octopus appetizer and vodka pasta, all 5 out of 5. A little on the expensive side, but worth it for a special occasion or why-not weeknight.The staff is friendly and attentive, the food is delicious and generous, and the energy is sweet and cozy. Highly recommend!

Nice trendy place. I got the lasagna and it tasted exactly like chef boy-r-d beef ravioli. Exactly. My wife had the scampi. It was just okay. The dessert was good. Over all it was over priced at 100$ for 2 dishes and a dessert for lunch. Portions were good but I could not eat my lasagna as it was so sweet. I challenge anyone to get it and do a blind taste test with a can of beef ravioli to be able to tell the difference. Feels like an Instagram place.
