Best Vegan Restaurants in Shelter Island / San Diego Bay

Dining here again after a four-year absence. Calabrian food was excellent as always. Very attentive service. But, contrary to Italian custom, the food was rushed to the table. Mains came while we were only halfway through the antipasti. Quite obviously they now want to turn tables quickly. The website states that a two-top is alloted just an hour and 15 minutes. As good as the food was, and as friendly and attentive as the service was, we will not return.

Cesarina absolutely blew me away this time! it was such an upgrade from my last visit! From the moment we walked in, everything felt elevated, from the ambiance to the exceptional service. Travis, our server, went above and beyond to make the evening special. His friendly demeanor, expert recommendations, and genuine attentiveness added so much to the experience. The pasta was out of this world, fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. And don’t even get me started on the tiramisu! Every bite was pure bliss and a testament to the care and passion this restaurant puts into its craft. This visit truly changed the game for me. Cesarina isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience, and with service like Travis provided, it’s one I’ll definitely be back for! Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine with a modern, welcoming touch.

I took a vegetarian friend here who was visiting from out of state and she loved it.

The ambiance here is so unique and beautiful! Airy, romantic, stylish and peaceful. And they let us bring our puppy. The food is simple but tasty and the value is one of the best in the city! We have been many times and will continue to come for brunch OR dinner! Today I loved the chai latte and white bean shakshuka. I always bring out of town guests to show it off.

We had the five-course tasting menu with the wine pairings and both were superb.
