ABOUT CESARINA
Cesarina is a daughter, mother, and grandmother who nurtures her community with her food and hospitality. To sit at her dinner table is to know the true foundation of Italian culture. Coming together and being surrounded by people you love to share delicious food prepared with the same love and care as that of a grandparent. This is the experience that we strive to bring to our guests. The concept began when newlyweds Niccolo and Cesarina moved to San Diego and began crafting fresh pasta (making fresh craft pasta?) at local farmers' markets. Together with friends Giuseppe and Giuseppe, Italian natives who also share the same vision and passion, an idea was sparked and thus the Cesarina family was born. We are a 100+ seat restaurant with an open-air "Pastificio" where we craft all of our pasta and bread. We pride ourselves on making everything (yes, everything!) in house and from scratch with only the best ingredients, providing service that is both comforting and humbly tailored to each guest, and giving our family on this side of the world a real taste of Italian food culture. We are incredibly proud of our first year’s success having been named SD Mag’s Best Italian restaurant 2019, and most importantly, the rave reviews we receive from our neighborhood and community- 4.8 and upon all major reviewing sites!
ABOUT US
We are a group of passionate people that work together to bring happiness to the table in the forms of food, service, and experience! We are a family. Our number one goal is to take care of each other. Your needs will always be important, not only because we care, but because we truly believe the notion of nurturing and hospitality starts with our family and grows from within. We want you to always have the best experience possible, and in turn, our guests will as well. We care about good products, good communities, good stories, good friends, good memories, good food, good drinks, good art—good everything. Quality is so important to us and that is why we largely implement professional growth from within the company. We believe that restaurants can have a significant lasting effect on a neighborhood, its people, and it's culture. Restaurants are where communities gather, interact, and evolve. They are where great friends and total strangers meet to share stories, ideas, grief, joy, wit. These places matter. We are humbled to have grown a team that within itself reflects these very values. Here at Cesarina every single one of our patrons and staff is welcomed and treated like family because that’s what food is all about- a great meal to be shared with the ones you love!
We love what we do and we do it with love! ("Fatto con Amore")
Are you ready to become part of our family?!
