The only restaurant in San Diego better than Cesarina is Cesarina at Christmas time. The food and service are as good as you can find anywhere but the already beautiful space is taken to the next level with their stunning and spectacular decorations for the holidays. Cesarina is a MUST any time of the year, but especially so at Christmas.

Great steakhouse just 2 blocks from the beach. Has old school steakhouse vibe. We sat at the bar and the service was excellent. Highly recommend the Old Fashion cocktail that comes with a uncrustable type of sandwich on top. Defiantly will be returning.
