Excellent Italian restaurant with an AMAZING view.
Great location on the water. They have an excellent dinning room with plenty of seating. There’s a nice bar area. We sat in the covered heated patio, which I strongly recommend.
Service is Top Notch… Warm friendly and attentive.
The food is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. We ordered one pizza, three pastas, and another appetizer (dumpling). All the ingredients are fresh and flavorful.
Portions are just right. Prices are reasonable given the quality.
They have a private parking lot with plenty of free self parking.
Reservations are recommended.

My daughter celebrated her 14th birthday with 21 of her closest friends in the Tuscan Room. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Deyona was incredible, ensuring the menu was exactly what my daughter envisioned & communicated frequently. She configured the room perfectly so 22 girls (ages 13-15) all fit. Noah (server) and Archer (assistant) were amazing! They treated the girls like they were queens, and made sure everyone was having the best time ever. My husband and I had dinner with friends in the Dining Room. Andrea was our server (and she was great). Noah made sure he stopped by regularly to let us know how everything was going, and made sure to bring us back for when dessert came out to we could sing happy birthday.

We had the Pappardelle alla Norcina con Pollo and the Linguine Mare Chiaro.
The Pappardelle had a rich truffle aroma and a creamy sauce — the chicken and mushrooms were tender and full of flavor.
The Linguine Mare Chiaro featured fresh seafood in a light tomato sauce with great balance.
Both dishes were beautifully presented and well-prepared.
We sat outside by the fire, which made the atmosphere warm, cozy, and classic.

Love the food here, tasty! Their customer service is excellent. They also have a nice collection of Italian wines, and the one we chose turned out to be excellent.
I love that they have plenty of seating areas where you sit inside or outside with a covered patio, and you watch the beach and sunset! Beautiful views.

We’ve been here several times and have always had wonderful experiences, whether dining in or ordering takeout.
Today we kept it simple with pizza and salad for a beach picnic. The Insalata di Pere is a standout. I absolutely love this salad. The candied pecans and pear were so flavorful that it tasted amazing even without dressing.
The Capricciosa pizza was well balanced and very satisfying.
We also appreciated that they offer environmentally friendly utensils.
We’ll definitely be coming back again and again.

Worst parking. Avoid happy hour on weekends. The parking structure was a shit show. First they require a credit card to enter the parking. On exit they didn’t tell us how much the charge was. Restaurant doesn’t validate parking. Food was decent except the bread pudding. Corkage fee was only $25. They do charge 3% still for eating there. No espresso machine.

The spot is great for a cozy Italian dinner with a beautiful view of the ocean. The minestrone soup was pretty tasty. The pasta was fresh and well-made. And the tiramisu was creamy and sweet.
The servers were nice and professional, and the atmosphere was great!
I would definitely recommend visiting this place for a nice dinner date if you’re craving some good Italian food in Del Mar area.

We went with friends to celebrate a birthday. Two of us ordered one of the specials the lobster & shrimp with a brandy cream sauce. Unfortunately the lobster was chewy so either it was a bit old or overcooked. I thought the brandy cream sauce would be more of a white sauce. It had a red sauce that wasn’t special. I didn’t say anything since I didn’t want to ruin the party but the special was $50 and I should have ordered something else. We drove from over an hour away so not worth it for the food. The view was great & waiter good.

Amazing restaurant with wonderful ambiance, delicious food and beautiful views!
We went there for our anniversary dinner date and the staff was extremely nice, and accommodating to our needs since we had a toddler.
The bruschetta was delicious, the pasta was so well made and the dessert was perfect! We had the specials dessert – the chocolate mousse and it was superb.
My husband had made reservations in advance and they even decorated our table. We forgot to take a lot of pictures of the food because it looked tooo good and we started eating it right away lol.
Highly highly recommend to everyone!
