There are a plethora of shops, cafes, coffee shops, electric bike stores, art galleries, and the belly up tavern. Found a few stores with some unique items that were reasonably priced so I was able to get a few gifts and do some window shopping. It was nice to kind of be ignored in almost every store I went in. I don't like being hounded by the salespeople so that worked well for me, but I think it would turn others off. Maybe they were figuring I was not their normal clientele and didn't need to help me. I did get several gifts at 2 different stores, and it ended up being a worthwhile trip. It is a cool little street, and it is eclectic, with a wide variety of unique types of stores with all price levels. If you have not been and are in the area, and want to try a cool shopping experience, you should stop in.

While my wife did shop shop shop I did a little window shopping, walking and stopping for gawking and a few pics. This is a popular design district. You can find anything you want for your home remodel, accent your interior space or to hang it on your bones. And if you're tired of shopping you can grab a bite to eat, go to a brewery, have coffee or wine tasting. I dig it from the street view!

Quick and easy! - PIZZA: thin crust, good - PRICE: very affordable - SERVICE: excellent and very friendly - AMBIANCE: block from the beach, small, but welcoming Pizza and beach vibes just go hand-and-hand. Both simple and fulfilling. They sell by the slice and they sell pies - more selection of pies over the glass casing for the slices. They also sell sandwiches and salads which I am excited to try next return. SPECIALITY OF THE DAY ($5) - cheese, pepperoni, mushroom, and garlic. As I've been told it's a staff favorite among the rotating flavors for speciality of the day. At first it tasted like a normal pepperoni pizza but then the garlic flavor really shines thru. The crust was "New York" style, thin and crispy... for me it had brittle edges! I find that thin crust pizza are just more fun to eat when on the go. HIGHLY RECOMMEND There are very few tables inside and out, however sometimes wiping your own table down may happen as people frequently so quickly that when one leaves another sits not leaving room for cleanup. Pet peeve, greasy marks on tables - be cautions that can be u friendly to clothes. I appreciate this space in the neighborhood and it appears so do many others!! Until the next review....

The service felt a little off when I first walked up to the bar. Employees seemed more focused on chatting with each other than helping customers. Even with the slight hiccup, I decided to give the place a chance and order food. It took a bit of effort to get service, but once we did, everyone was friendly -- just somewhat disorganized. Our appetizers arrived, but the bread we ordered never showed up. When we asked to cancel it, we were given an excuse about the staff being busy elsewhere. Even the restaurant manager appeared to be wandering around without really checking in on tables or helping direct service. That said, the food itself was actually very tasty. Overall, the experience had solid potential, but the service felt convoluted and lacking direction.

A local friend recommended Aqua Mare, so I took my wife and daughter, and invited a few others. We were not disappointed. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by Antonio (mgr). Vittorio waited on our party and Devon (bartender) came by our table ro say "hello." It was our first-time dining at Aqua Mare, but we were treated like regulars. I love it when restaurants are so welcoming. Started with the calamari and the ahi crudo- both excellent. But, the braised beef ravioli was the main attraction. Devon recommended it and it did not disappoint. It's rare that I order ravioli, but this was perhaps the best version I have ever tasted- made from scratch and so flavorful. Ended the meal with limoncello and housemade tiramisu. I would also recommend their martini made with the new premium Austrian rye vodka, NEFT. These were truly superior. Ample, free parking and a lovely sunset view from the dining room. Can't wait to return to Aqua Mare for another memorable meal next time I'm in Del Mar. Bon Appétit!

It started with a donut and then included two more desserts along the way crepes, and gelato. That felt excessive and unbalanced. Typically, food tours are paced more thoughtfully with a variety of courses like appetizers, soups, salads, and a solid main dish. The pasta was underwhelming and didn't feel like the highlight it should have been. You could tell the meatballs were previously frozen. Not one person finished the taste. Overall, the tour lacked variety, balance, and quality. It just didn't feel well thought out or worth the cost. It needs to be revamped. I really wanted to enjoy it, but unfortunately it missed the mark.

The only problem is their inflated prices. Pizza is $4.50 per slice and their iceberg lettuce house salad is $9.00. Sorry, but $18+ for two slices of pizza and a bed of iceberg lettuce with some cherry tomatoes is just not right. A few suggestions (other than more reasonable prices): pay attention to dine in vs. to go. Offer different types of pizza every once in a while, or offer seasonal. Turn the music down a bit, off would do too.
