We had a very disappointing dining experience due to poor service. Definitely not return!
We had a 7:45 PM outdoor seating reservation, arrived early at 6:30 PM, and reminded the host that we were celebrating a birthday, asking if an earlier table might be available. We waited at the bar for drinks after 30 minutes waited we asked if we could dine there, but were told it was not allowed. However, we later saw many other guests dining at the bar, which made the situation even more frustrating.
In total, we waited over an hour and were seated around 7:40 PM, not outdoors even though we had reservations for outdoor.
After being seated, the server took our order but then disappeared for the rest of the meal. We had to ask another server for a to-go box and the dessert menu. Even though we clearly mentioned that we were there to celebrate a birthday, we received no acknowledgment at all, while we saw other birthday tables being congratulated as soon as they were seated and having photos taken at the end of their meals.
Overall, the food was excellent. We had Polpo Fichi e Basilico as an appetizer the octopus was very fresh and for the mains we ordered Gnocchi Porcini Gamberi e Tartufo, Paccheri Vodka & Scampi, and a vegan pasta. All were delicious. However, the service was extremely disappointing, If you’re celebrating a birthday or special occasion, I would recommend choosing a restaurant with better service.

best eats i’ve had in months and so glad i got my birthday meal here. everything i tried was cooked so well. prices are on higher side but the ingredients are fresh and amazing and portions are generous so i didn’t feel overpaid at all. staffs are nice and very accommodating, i went on a rainy day, we got outside seating but there were heater, staff gave us hot water pouches so it was lovely and cozy. water and utensils got filled and changed often we didn’t have to call for them much. it was for my birthday so they gave me free tiramisu (it was so goo) and also took us a polaroid photo overall this is the best restaurant i’ve tried in san diego highly recommend if you need somewhere nice and reliable for your special occasions. ALSO REVERSATION IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

We ordered a few dishes here, and everything was delicious.
I got the Paccheri Vodka Scampi, and it was excellent. The shrimp was cooked well, and the vodka sauce was flavorful without being too heavy.
The bread they served beforehand was also really good.
For dessert, we had the tiramisu, and they make it fresh at the table. It was light, creamy, and definitely one of the highlights of the meal.
It was a great dinner with good food and a nice atmosphere.

Amazing place with so many pasta options to choose from. They even have a vegan menu, which is a huge plus. The food was really good. We ordered the tiramisu and honestly, it’s one of the best I’ve had in San Diego. They make it right in front of you and it tastes amazing.
The place is super cute and cozy. It was pretty cold when we went, and they even offered blankets and shawls to keep us warm, which was really thoughtful.
Parking can be a little tricky, but they have valet, which makes it much easier. Definitely worth checking out!

Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere. Our server Daniele was from Italy and his accompanying staff were extremely attentive and kind. The manager came and talked to us as well, shook my hand on the way out. Ate here with my wife and three kids, they all cleared their plates and left full, which is rare. A great date night spot or family dinner out. Completely authentic, from scratch Italian food.

Cesarina was a spectacular meal in San Diego! Only a short drive from Point Loma, Cesarina has a beautiful interior (decorated beautifully for the holidays), delicious food, a welcoming ambience, fast service, and plenty of gluten-free options.
I had the gluten-free bolognese, which was packed with flavor. My friends got the pumpkin gnocchi and the pasta patate y nduja with bone marrow (all made with homemade pasta). Everything tasted delicious and the dishes were extremely creative.
Highly recommend Cesarina for your next special lunch or dinner!

I’ve been here on multiple occasions and the food and service are always amazing. My favorites are the vodka & scampi pasta and the octopus appetizer. So delicious!! The mushroom pasta is also great if you’re a mushroom lover.
I recently came here to celebrate my birthday and they were so kind to provide a complimentary dessert and a cute Polaroid to take home. Shoutout to Leo who took excellent care of us our entire meal!
Would definitely recommend making a reservation if you are coming during the weekend. There was plenty of seating available during our weekday lunch. There are two parking spots in the lot.

Such a lovely spot! The patio is absolutely adorable the service was excellent and the pasta was delicious! The tiramisu really stole the show though, hands down the best I’ve ever had!
We were able to sit at the pasta bar while waiting for our table and watch the pasta being made, which was such a fun experience. The rooster water pitchers add a touch of whimsy and the playful menu designs, fun fish ware and colorful to-go boxes make everything feel extra special. Highly recommend!

Went to Cesarina on the last night of my 30th birthday trip and it did not disappoint. The appetizer and pasta were both delicious. And the tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had. The service was exceptional and I even got the cutest Polaroid to remember the night. 1000% recommend!!
