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.

    Amazing food and service for our anniversary. We had the caprese salad and carpaccio as starters. The burrata cheese was to die for and the filet was spot on. Entrees were the scampi with vodka sauce and daily ravioli special with fungi sauce. Really top notch sauces and good portions. A little on the pricey side but worth every penny. We'll be back!

    Cesarina is famous for pasta dishes. But, before you decide what you want, listen to the daily specials... typically, specialty raviolis with your pick of sauce and toppings. This restaurant never disappoints. But, recommend you get a reservation as they are well-subscribed. Buon appetito!

    We started with drinks at the bar and had a great view of the pasta chef. The drinks were fantastic! We were seated and ordered the squash as an antipasti which was delicious and flavorful. The fungi on pappardelle was phenomenal and the rigatoni bolognese was perfect.
