Guests can choose from a wide selection of appetizers, salads, pizzas, pastas, and meat and seafood dishes. The excellent wine list is sourced from around the world and has a perfect pairing for every meal."

"A post shared by Piatti La Jolla (@piattilajolla) on Aug 21, 2018 at 12:42pm PDT. This Italian food chain has been producing tasty treats for diners for more than 30 years and has grown to nine separate outlets - from Seattle in the north to La Jolla in the south. Located not far from La Jolla Shore Park, the eatery enjoys one of the best reputations out of any restaurant in the area."
"This cozy Tuscanesque cafe is as popular a hangout for surfers as it is with the more senior members of La Jolla society. Terra-cotta tiled floors, bottles of chianti, and a Roman fountain all contribute to the setting for an authentic Italian menu. Highlights include gourmet wood oven-fired pizzas, Saffron Pappardelle and House-Made Ricotta-Spinach Basil Ravioli."
"There are many eateries in Coronado but this one is found right at the Coronado Ferry Center. This modern Italian restaurant overlooks the harbor and provides stunning views of Downtown San Diego from across the bay."
"With a farm-to-table approach, Whisknladle succeeds in making simple food taste extraordinary. The menu changes with the season and is void of fuss. Everything is made from scratch, including the tonics and purees for the artisanal cocktails."
"– Inventive & artisanal nibbles & cocktails in a cozy lounge or covered, outdoor bistro setting. Same owner as PrepKitchen in Little Italy."
"At 264 Fresco, you can enjoy Italian food using only the finest ingredients, a warm environment, and some of the best service around. From dishes to share like Mozzarella Caprese, Fried Calamari, and Stuffed Artichokes to a variety of pizzas and pasta, you can’t go wrong with any of the items on the menu at 264 Fresco. Address: 264 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, CA"
"264 Fresco is easily my favorite Italian restaurant in Carlsbad!. They make some of the most delicious food and have some really yummy drinks. Go here for an early dinner, start off with the discounted drinks and appetizers, and stay for the entrees and wine."
"Formerly known as Giulio's of Pacific Beach, Jack & Giulio's Italian Restaurant has been providing guests with authentic, high-quality Italian food since 1961. The specialty here is the shrimp scampi, but the menu also offers a good assortment of delectable appetizers, freshly made salads, meat entrees, and other seafood dishes. There are also a number of specialty pasta dishes that the restaurant makes from scratch; gluten-free substitutions are offered for some of these dishes."
"You might not know this, but they have a not so secret menu!!. A few must tries from the “secret” menu are animal style fries (french fries with grilled onions, melted cheese and their famous sauce), animal style burger, and a grilled cheese. You definitely don’t want to miss out on this one, because it truly is the one of the best cheap eats in Carlsbad!"
"With 300 locations, In-N-Out is a family owned business, featuring fresh ingredients and great customer service. Building there company on the belief "quality you can taste" this California favorite is a must have."
"This has been they best quality of In and Out I've had in California. Also fastest but could be because I..."
"After gazing at ships both antique and modern, walk north to Little Italy, where you can sample more local beers at Bottlecraft before dining at one of the neighborhood’s fantastic restaurants, such as Herb & Wood. After dinner, stroll through the charming neighborhood to reach decadent Extraordinary Desserts. The sugar rush should get you started for a night out in the Gaslamp District club scene; if you prefer something chill, the swanky retro cocktail bar Prohibition Lounge is a great way to finish the night."
"If you want a more sophisticated night, check out Little Italy which has more upscale bars and restaurants for a spot of romance. If you don’t drink alcohol, both Gaslamp and North Park also have arcade bars where you can just play games and have fun. Also, Little Italy is lovely to simply walk around and explore at night. It gets busy with a buzzy atmosphere and often has street performers performing Italian ballads."
"Study humankind at the San Diego Museum of Man, marvel at aeronautic engineering in the San Diego Air and Space Museum, then catch your breath in the Botanical Building. Head up to North Park for happy hour at Polite Provisions; its beautiful cocktail lounge may hook you up with some small plates if you’re hungry. Save the appetite, though—North Park’s Restaurant Row is nearby."
"The Botanical Building houses more than 2,000 tropical plants. Capturing the wood structure with the lily pond in front is one of the most photographed sections of Balboa Park."
"Boasting picturesque views of the coastline from the cliff top of Carlsbad’s highest point, TWENTY/20 is the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa’s signature restaurant and offers a delightful, romantic dining experience. The stylish restaurant features several seating options, from an upscale dining room and covered outdoor terrace to an intimate bar and elegant lounge with custom-designed fire and water features that create a comfortable ambiance.

"20|Twenty is the signature restaurant at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa. This upscale dining establishment isn't pretentious, but warm, inviting and particularly elegant in every detail. Come here and sip a drink while enjoying the breath-taking coastal view!"
