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.

    Patio is cute but nothing special. Food is expensive, as is wine. I suppose I had higher expectations for this highly rated restaurant. Never mind paying for an excellent meal but this was not it. Everything here was just ok. Appetizers better than the meal. Coffee served with dessert was cold and sent back never to return but remained on the bill. When I booked this restaurant 171 people had booked that day…not sure why. Would not recommend.

    A culinary wow each time we have visited. Trying the homemade pasta is a must but the whole fish cooked with lemons inside was perfectly moist. The chicken thighs with sausage and peppers was also incredible! We wish they had a tasting menu to try so much more!

    This was our first visit to your restaurant and we were very pleased! We love the ambience, the service and the food! Loved your decorative boxes and bags to go as well! The rooster water pitchers were a fun added touch!
