Cesarina San Diego Reviews
Holy moly their Vegan Funghi with Lumache pasta is top tier.
I legit ordered one togo while eating the one in the restaurant. Def coming back for that pasta. Service is also great, they're very attentive. And i love the outdoor seating. Oh, and their vegan tiramisu is also good too!

Hearty pasta and heart-warming service -- just what you want from an Italian restaurant! From the moment we sat down in the patio, we never had to ask for anything. Fresh, warm bread was brought out, and water in a chicken pitcher (that you can also

I'm not sure Cesarina needs any help from me in terms of more five star reviews but here's another one to add to their pile. We had heard raves from my friends who chose Cesarina as their restaurant to celebrate getting married after being

My girlfriend and I went here a few nights ago and had one of the best dinners we've had since moving to San Diego a few years ago. We went with the crowd favorites on Yelp: the polpo app, vodka scampi for an entree, and homemade tiramisu made a
I had just about given up on Italian food in San Diego.
A coworker adamantly recommended I try Cesarina and since going in, my hope in San Diego pasta has been renewed. We arrived on a busy evening and were quoted a 45-minute wait. While sitting outside in their wait area, we saw so many people coming i

As soon as I moved out to San Diego I've had my eyes on this place. To start the place doesn't look much from the outside but once you get welcomed at the hostess stand you are greeted by the most wonderful staff and see the hidden beauty o

The best Italian restaurant in San Diego.
I recommend the fungi pasta, it has so many mushrooms and taste delicious. And the focaccia bread is fire. Make sure to make reservations

This was our first dinner in San Diego, and one of our favorites. I got the tagliatelle with funghi sauce. It was good, but desperately lacking salt. We also got the bellisima tagliata (steak), which was incredible. Every element of the dish was deli

We first ate here in 2023, we're back in SD for a few days and made it a point to come back in. It's just as good if not better! Polpo, mafalde with mushroom sauce and table side tiramisu were the highlights for us. We sat at the bar and Da

I had the Vodka Scampi, and it was very good, though I wish it had been spicier. The service was excellent; they consistently refilled my water when it was low. The overall atmosphere was casual and reminded me of restaurants in Italy.

Will be coming back
We really loved coming here, they had amazing pasta, top notch service. I’d recommend getting reservations at it was at capacity
Dreadful to park and not worth the wait.
After reading the reviews and the Michelin remarks we were very let down. The spinach pappardelle with beef cheeks looked such a mess and very unappetizing. It tasted just OK. My husbands entree was a vivid red color, neither of us could finish our m
A special night with great food, service and ambience
My wife and I had dinner for our wedding anniversary last night. The entire evening was perfect! The outdoor dining room was nicely decorated for the season. There was a chill in the air but the well-positioned heat lamps and individual lap warmers
Run
The food is terrible, not fresh, microwaved and not a high end restaurant. We wasted a lot of money here sadly. Dirty, cheezy, disgusting. We wanted to love it but were shocked at how bad it was. Probably worst meal I have ever had.
Excellent pasta
The restaurant focuses on pasta and does an excellent job. The service is great and the food is tasty. The focaccia bread and sauce they serve to start is not warm (I wish it were) and parking is difficult (but they do have valet). But overall I high
Party of 3 there on a Thursday early evening.
This place is very popular with 2 outdoor patios and a small indoor seating area. We had 3 different plates that were all good. I don't think you can go wrong with any menu item. One thing that really stood out was the Caesar salad. So delicious.

Connect with users posting reservations for Cesarina San Diego
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Cesarina San Diego. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Cesarina San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Cesarina San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CompellingStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CompellingStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CompellingStation67 for any questions Peter may have as CompellingStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CompellingStation67 now uses their connections at Cesarina San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CompellingStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CompellingStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CompellingStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Cesarina San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
