Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Cesarina Mezzoni

MICHELIN Bib Gourmand2023
MICHELIN Bib Gourmand2022

From the OpenTable editors: Fresh housemade pasta reigns at this charming Point Loma trattoria. Cesarina landed MICHELIN Bib Gourmand status for its knockout mix-and-match pasta options and one exceptional tableside tiramisu. The colorful Italian restaurant is a go-to for weekend brunch, best enjoyed on its bougainvillea-strewn patio.

We had an excellent meal for our first time at Cesarina. Coming from the east coast we are always trying to find good Italian out here which is not easy but we thought the food here was excellent. Good service, wasn’t uncomfortably expensive, nice experience.

I was visiting from LA, and so happy we went out of the general downtown SD area to find this gem. Ambiance and decor is a 9. Parking is a 2. The food was awesome. We ordered the funghi vegana, the stuffed eggplant appetizer, and the caprese. The caprese was so fresh, while the eggplant was OMG melt in your mouth. We aren’t vegan but ordered the funghi vegana and added the shaved truffle because their tartufona seemed way too creamy. I wish the funghi vegana had just a touch of truffle oil to round out the dish for when you order the shaved truffles to top. The pasta noodles were so silky and perfect. And great wine by the glass/bottle selection as well.

A great italian restaurant experience. Comfortable surroundings, fun menu with numerous food options, and the meal was excellent. Had Caprese salad which was fabulous, Lasagna and Fettuccine with funghi and shrimp, all were excellent. Portions were big, you can easily share a dish or 2. Wine menu was decent, only suggestion would be to offer up a glass only menu for those that want just a glass. Little hard to navigate through the options. The only other suggestion I would make would be to do a refresh on the menus, because the ones we had were hard to read. The print had been rubbed off on a number of options and were nearly impossible to read.
