Our goal is to merge the dogmatic approach of Roman cooking with the amazing abundance of ingredients available to us in San Diego. A True Roman Holiday In SD.

    We celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary at Seneca and it was amazing. Obviously the view was spectacular but the drinks were also delicious and my spaghetti carbonara was one of the best I’ve had. Our waiter also gifted us with some champagne to celebrate our anniversary. 10/10 we will be back

    This placer is a favorite for a special dinner with friends. The 'surf and turf' special for two was incredible. We appreciate the chef/owner coming out to check on his guests. It always makes you feel appreciated.

    Probably the best taco I’ve ever had. Our server was knowledgeable and passionate. They accommodated us moving up our reservation. The drinks were amazing and I still dream about the carne asada taco. 11/10 would go back in a heartbeat.

    It’s refreshing that this level of customer service still exists. Starting off with the hostess, she was incredible. Very welcoming, very polite and was willing to make a minor adjustment to our preferred seating section. The bartenders were also incredible. I left it in their hands to make a recommendation and I was appreciative that they didn’t try to sell me a $100 shot of tequila. They gave me something middle of the road that was incredible.
