- DDavidSan Diego •18 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAlways a treat to dine at Vigilucci’s. The service was next level, the fried baby calamari appetizer was light and tender and the seared scallops over mini risotto cakes with a roasted corn, red onion, asparagus, and bell pepper medley, topped with a slightly spicy cherry and sun dried tomato sauce was absolute divinity. Almost forgot the perfectly made old fashioned to kick things off.More infoVigilucci's Seafood & SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Italian• Carlsbad•4.8
- JJackieSan Diego •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoDrinks and food were amazing. Highly recommend starting off with the margherita pizza as an appetizer and then ANY pasta as the main dish. We had the penne arrabiata add sausage and linguine al pesto add chicken. Both were 10/10.More infoBlade 1936Price: Expensive• Italian• Oceanside•4.6
- SSamanthavipCalifornia Central Coast •3 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 18, 2024I recently visited Merenda Wine Bar, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone who appreciates quality wine , the staff is friendly and is passionate about sharing it with their guests. The wine selection at Merenda is unique, featuring wines that are grower producer wines, natural, and many are female owned, they feature wines that you won’t find at just any establishment. While some may have noted a corkage fee, it’s essential to understand that when you pay retail price, it feels incredibly reasonable, especially for the quality of the wine . Merenda is primarily a wine bar that serves sharing plates—perfect for pairing with your glass (or bottle!) of wine. I found it ideal to either visit before or after dinner, as the atmosphere is perfect for a lovely pre or post dinner conversation What makes Merenda even more special is it is Opened by a local Oceanside resident, it fills a void in the area—offering something completely unique. Cheers 🍷More infoMerendaPrice: Expensive• Wine Bar• Oceanside•4.7
- KKariSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 12, 2024Highly recommend! Our 1st time, and it was a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary! I am gluten free and our waitress was very knowledgable with the menu. We started out with a caprese salad. I had the short rib pasta dish w/ GF pasta. It was delicious! My husband had the lasagna which he said was amazing and melted in his mouth! Our waitress went above and beyond to make our night special and even gave us a complimentary, yummy panacotta. We will definitely be back!More info264 FrescoPrice: Moderate• Italian• Carlsbad•4.5
