Inside it is elegant but cozy. I made it for happy hour on a Sunday and started with the snack plate (big hunk of good bread, some cheese, pickled carrots, dates and duck prosciutto)and the yellowtail lettuce cups, as well as a flight (you pick 5 of any of the by the glass wines). Then I had another glass of the merlot blend (so interesting) and shared the cheese board. It's diy- you pick 1-3 cheese and/or 1-3 meats and it comes with bread, pickled veggies, pistachio cream, garlic confit, candied nuts etc. The balsamic onions are some of the best things I've ever eaten and the cheeseboard has to be the best in town! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable and totally on top of service too. It was pretty empty on a sunny Sunday afternoon, which was nice but it deserves to be packed all the time!

We were short on time, but were definitely glad we popped in. Hopefully I can get back soon to have food off the menu.

We loved sipping on the 2024 Pinot Noir Rosé (definitely order a glass if it's available!) while taking in all the beautiful local coastal artwork displayed throughout the tasting room. It's such a fun way to discover local artists while enjoying great wine. Whether you're celebrating a win at work, enjoying a friends or date night and winding down after shopping on Cedros, Carruth Cellars is always a great choice. We'll definitely be back!

As others have mentioned, parking isn't the easiest since the restaurant is literally in a neighborhood. I came expecting that, though, so I arrived a little early and ended up having a nice 10 minute walk to the restaurant. The restaurant itself is so cute and cozy with lots of string lights and a really nice atmosphere. I was actually surprised by how busy it was for a Wednesday evening! We were seated outside, and with the perfect weather that night, it was a great setting for dinner. Our server was very kind, and so was the gentleman helping him clear our plates and take care of the table. Service throughout the evening was excellent. We ordered a salad, the Super Cioppino, and the Gnocchi, Porcini, Gamberi e Tartufo. We also received complimentary bread, which was good. The GNOCCHI, though!!! This was absolutely the star of the show. It was SO SO SO delicious and easily my favorite dish of the night. I also really enjoyed the Super Cioppino, but if I had to choose between the two, the gnocchi wins hands down. The pasta that came on the side with the cioppino was a little dry for me. The salad was good and at least I got my greens in lol. For dessert, we ordered the tableside tiramisu, which was both fun to watch and very delicious. We were also celebrating my friend's birthday, and they brought her some gelato, which was such a nice touch. Overall, we really enjoyed our evening at Cesarina. Between the cozy ambiance, wonderful service, and delicious food, I can see why reservations are so hard to get. I would definitely come back and look forward to trying more of their pasta dishes next time.

And now I get why they've been consistently booked, great service, good food and reasonable price point. We were seated outside on the patio which was really cute but be warned there are flies because they don't use pesticides. Decor was super cute and reminiscent of Tuscany, very colorful, bright and vibrant. Service a was amazing, shoutout to Josh for making our experience that much better. He was attentive, really sweet and thought of things before I even asked. For example, he brought to go boxes before I had to say anything, love that attention to detail! I recorded the octopus, it was soft not chewy at all with a slight honey flavor. The burrata with eggplant was also really good, simple but executed perfectly. All the pastas as cooked in house and you can choose they type you want for your dish. Also, have to get the tiramisu which they make table side. The mascarpone was authentic and overall the dessert was not sweet at all, we finished every bite. My only criticism is that some of the plates were chipped on the edges. Change them if possible.

We happened to be there when it started raining, and honestly, it made the experience even more fabulous. Sitting surrounded by the trees with the rain coming down felt so cozy and romantic. I'm usually a Sauvignon Blanc girl, but they didn't have it on the menu. Our server was so nice and attentive and recommended a wine that was similar to what I normally enjoy. I really appreciated that she took the time to understand what I liked instead of simply choosing something for us and her recommendation was lovely. The food is more about beautiful little bites designed to pair with the wine, rather than large portions. The toast was crispy golden bread served with a creamy, herby spread and bright orange salmon roe.The colors, textures, and presentation were absolutely beautiful. The combination of wine, small bites, attentive service, trees, and the rain falling around us created such a memorable experience. It's a small space, but it has so much character and charm. Definitely a place for slowing down, enjoying good wine, sharing beautiful bites, and taking in the atmosphere.

The vibe is very European. The waitstaff is very engaged, friendly and provides excellent service. Appetizer - We had the Citrus Marinated Octopus and Calvados Chicken Liver Pate. Both were simply amazing and full of flavor. Soup - We each ordered the Sweet Corn & Pinon soup. I can't begin to describe how delicious it was. They use wildflowers in the soup which provide a unique flavor. The soup is packed with flavor. Salads -We had the Brussel Sprout salad and the Roasted Baby Beets salad. Both were great but the Roasted Baby Beets was out of this world. The Mexican Lavender dressing, candied pecans, pickled onions and Fennel Goat Cheese danced on our tastebuds. I am looking forward to going back soon to try more of their menu. It's very rare that a restaurant's menu captures my complete attention. Wolf in the Woods menu is full of flavors, unique ingredients and incredible textures. I really want to order one of everything. Go! I promise you will have incredible meal and become obsessed with this restaurant. Planning to go back Saturday, August 29, 2026 with a group of friends. I hope they will agree to share so we can taste a lot of their menu. Prices are very competitive for food of their quality. GO, go, go!

I hate leaving questionable reviews.. but also feel when we researched places we didn't get an accurate story. This is a true neighborhood pub.. the place you come so everybody knows your name. Which I love and can appreciate. But as an outsider it was kinda chaotic instead. A bartender came to clean a table for us. The largest grossest bugger hanging out of his nose, he had sweat marks so large there was no need to lift his arms to see them. He proceeded then to do shots at the bar with costumers. Which again... I totally can appreciate having a good time in a good neighborhood pub. The floors were so dirty around the booths. The menus dirty. Just over all couldn't stay and eat here. Did get some good laughs watching a few very inebriated customers, had some good drinks and went on our way. We personally wouldn't come back, but again if you live in the neighborhood and it's just that place you come to for your hang with friends, it's looks like it's a fun place.

Lots of foot traffic and cars full of beach lovers constantly going by! Parking is hard to find, but we luckily parked right across the street at 3pm. The tasting room has several tables, a long bar so you can stand at either side, and another bar which kept glasses readily available for Alan, who was serving us. Oh, Alan is a Great guy!!! Several regulars stopped in while we were there (Great sign) to buy a favorite, or just chatting it up with folks as they sipped wine. I had been excited to taste the wines here especially being very familiar with the areas in Northern CA where they source their fruit. I am very particular about wine, and the small production they do here allows for some quality tastings. Not all the wines I tasted were my favorites, but they gave me enough pleasure to know their Reserves will be exceptionable, so I spent a boatload on their Reserves that were not open for tasting. I even joined their wine club!!! If you are ever in the area, or just visiting San Diego, I Highly recommend going to Gianni Buonomo. By the way, if you would like to bring your own snacks or charcuterie with you it's well accepted. If you do go, and Alan is there please tell him I sent you! Cheers to All

I came on a Sunday with a group of friends and it did not disappoint. It's a cute winery and much more spacious inside than what I originally imagined.

A perfect choice for a hot summer day, although I could drink this year-round. My friends loved the red blend but since I'm not a red wine person, I can only say by their reactions that they loved it. This is a great local San Diego winery to enjoy glass of wine or two in a relaxing environment. FYI... it's not air conditioned which we usually don't need this close to the beach but it can get a little warm inside on a hot day
