Bright touches and hyper-seasonal products ground the menu with San Diego style, while nods to chef Tara’s Southeast Asian background are interwoven throughout.

We chose Cesarina because they make their own pasta in-house as well as their sauces and everything else. Wow - what a great meal! We waited at the bar overlooking the pasta being made so when we were seated, we decided to start with a ravioli and separately, carpaccio. Both were outstanding with some type of truffle oil over the tender carpaccio making it fantastic! We had the Norma sauce (with eggplant) with pasta and the meaty Mafalde al Sugo Napoletano with ribs and sausage and it was made perfectly! We were too stuffed for dessert and boxed up the leftover but will definitely return.

We had a delicious meal and delightful time! We enjoyed the tagliatelle with butternut squash, rib eye, a filet, and the pasta with clam sauce. Only one appetizer which was the Caesar salad and was very good. Served a little differently with fresh greens instead of romaine and the dressing was excellent. Our server Toni was superb! She is professional, knowledgeable and a delightful person! The manager was also very nice and helpful. Thanks to all the staff for making our evening special!
