The pork croquettes are delish. The swordfish, chicken,lamb and short ribs are all super delicious, the potato cakes with egg roe are awesome, the sautéed mushrooms are super tasty. Finally the cheesecake and pistacho desserts are a great finally.

    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.
