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

The meal started with free homemade focaccia and marinara (free refills). I love Italian restaurants that provide homemade bread. And if the bread plus marinara are super delicious? Even better! Eggplant (Melanzana ripiena, $20): I needed instructio

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.

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
* EternalAnt36, 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.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 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 EternalAnt36 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, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36'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.
