   Wonderful first experience here. Service was excellent and food was perfectly timed. Tableside tiramisu was divine. What a fun and tasty zucchini blossom appetizer. The pesto was very good. A few more tomatoes and it would have been perfect. Thank you!

   Everytime this place really knocked it out of the park. Food and service are secondo to none. You won't be disappointed with egg plant parm and tiramisù. Both are must haves!

   Fantastic Italian - best I have had in San Diego. House made pasta, table side tiramisu, great special menu, lovely people and food. (those pink corduroy shirts have GOT to go!!) Great ambiance and incredible staff and food, the experience would be 100% with a menu layout/design and staff shirts that did the food/ambiance justice - both seemed out of place however not worthy of anything less than 5 stars!!

    Overall wonderful dinner. Excellent homemade pastas and service. Only complain is the hostesses. I am not sure why they would but a girl there that was unpleasant and obviously not interested in actually welcoming patrons. Other than that one thing everything else was perfect.

    Perfect dining experience last night all around… the ambience was casual yet sophisticatedly charming in a beautiful Mediterranean style patio!! (Gotta love SD weather) Got there early because we were already in the neighborhood and so glad we did because the friendly hostess recommended we have a drink at the bar. We sat in front of the handmade pasta station and it was a mouth-watering treat to watch the magic in action!! And the bartender actually served us even though we were at the hidden corner of the restaurant… his recommendations were great and he is a very creative mixologist. Our server Stefano was exactly who you hope for when dining out… welcoming, relaxed, knowledgeable and attentive the whole night. The food was authentic and delicious… polpo appetizer charred to perfection, creamy porcini gnocchi w/ shrimp & an unbelievable lasagna bolognese!! The freshness of ingredients and perfect seasoning left us wanting more, even though the portions were quite large (took 1/2 the lasagna to go). No room for dessert, but next time we’ll think of that ahead of time. We’re already recommending Cesarina to friends/familia and we’ll be back very soon… grazie mille to the management and all the staff in the front & back of house!!

    Cesarina never disappoints! It is difficult to try new dishes because you want to order your favorites. Our waiter made a suggestion to try a new type of pasta with my favorite funghi topping and it was absolutely delicious. Must top any dish with their homemade peperoncino.

    Authentic food, dinnerware, ambiance. We live in Sicily (Naples before that) and the food at Cesarina could be at any restaurant in either place… maybe not the pries but have to keep up with USA economy, we get it. Well done!

    I was there the first week it opened and must have referred a few dozen people your way, As the restaurant matured there were some noticeable changes. But only once where it appeared the restaurant "got too big for its bridges". As a matter of fact I almost did not return this past Saturday but so glad, I did. Service was good food delicious. Amarone Superb!! Ci sono stato la prima settimana in cui è stato aperto e devo aver indirizzato alcune dozzine di persone a modo tuo, mentre il ristorante è maturato ci sono stati alcuni cambiamenti evidenti. Ma solo una volta dove è apparso il ristorante "è diventato troppo grande per i suoi ponti". In effetti, quasi non sono tornato lo scorso sabato, ma sono così felice di averlo fatto. Il servizio era buon cibo delizioso. Amarone superbo!! Filippo Princiotta/Philip Princetta

    Been here several times before but this was the best. Had the bucatini amatriciana. Outstanding pasta.actually would have been better paired with lighter sauce, but that’s just me. There pasta is really special but be sure to get it Al dente.

    Simply the best Italian restaurant in San Diego. The food is phenomenal, especially the pasta which is mad in front of the diners, and the wait staff treats everyone like a VIP. We visit San Diego 3-4 times a year and we always dine here one night and we are never disappointed.
