    The veal Marsala entree was just amazing and thankfully perfectly seasoned and not salt loaded like many restaurants do.
    Mary K.

    Lovely ambience and a wonderful server with delicious food. Seems pricey but generous portions of Italian classics. We thought we made reservations but did not but still were very graciously accommodated. Cozy outdoor table. Nice beverage selection. Calamari appetizer was cooked perfectly with a delicious marinara. We all had different items and enjoyed them all but I had the veal Marsala and loved it. It was NOT over salted and had a delectable sauce with plenty of mushrooms and served with green beans and a lovely small pasta side. There was definitely a lot of butter involved but the leftovers made for another excellent lunch the next day. Linguine and clams was also excellent and also buttery. The others loved their dishes too. We all shared some amazing chocolate lava type dessert. Some restaurants speed up or drag out your meal, but our server let us pace ourselves and it was perfect. Wish I remembered her name.

    Located on the Olivenhain side of the Encinitas and Rancho Santa Fe border my family and I have been coming to Firenze Trattoria for many years because we live in RSF and FT always has consistently good food and great service. For this most recent visit I was in town for the Christmas holiday and we chose FT as our final family dinner. Inside is very large with many different seating options and a large bar. It is located in a sleepy shopping center so there is always plenty of easy parking. Our server Bill was fantastic and really added to the meal. All of our dishes arrived shortly after ordering and the portion sizes are generous. For this most recent visit I started off with the Carpaccio di Manzo and thought it was wonderful. I have been ordering this dish since I was a kid and this version was one of the better ones I have had in a few months. For my entree I chose the Seabass Oreganato and loved it. The Seabass was large and flavorful but the baked bread crumbs on top really made the dish for me and was a unique variant. I would highly recommend both to anyone. Overall a really nice Italian option in a beautiful part of San Diego and I am already looking forward to my next visit.

    I was craving a Caesar salad and I've enjoyed theirs in the past. I live close by so I decided to grab a quick lunch. I was welcomed and seated quickly. I opted for the pretty outdoor area. There were only about 4 tables of patrons. I was brought out a place setting water and a basket of bread very soon after being seated. My server took a bit to come by but she was welcoming and friendly. I glanced at the menu but I knew what I wanted already. I tried the bread. It was dry and tasted a bit stale. I was surprised there was nothing served with the bread but didn't question it. My salad took awhile but I was enjoying the patio. When it finally arrived I was a bit surprised at the small size for the price. It was decent but the dressing was a bit sparse and it was not as good as I remembered it. My server checked in a few times. When I was done the server was no where to be seen. I waited about 10 minutes before she reappeared. I paid my bill and as I got up to leave I noticed the remaining tables all had oil and vinegar on their tables. As you can see in my photo I never received it. Probably a good thing because the bread on its own wasn't great so I only ate half a piece, I certainly don't need the extra carbs. I would probably come here for happy hour but not likely during regular food service, too bad because it's so close.

    Let's start with the positive. This place has a nice ambiance and the menu looks appetizing. However, the service is painfully slow and the food is underwhelming. We were a party of 12 and we got seated at 6:30. We got our food at 7:40. 7:40!!! Ordered the rigatoni vodka and carbonara. Other folks have ordered other dishes that seem ok. The pasta dishes were mediocre. I'd pass on both pastas honestly. Again, ambiance is nice and the servers are nice. Just slow and food is underwhelming for the price.

Our table 4 enjoyed the 8-ounce filet mignon, $68, the 60-ounce bull's-eye ribeye, $74, and a tasty mac & cheese, $15. Excellent cuts of meat. Prepared to order. Creative array of cocktails. Lively bar area. Wines by the glass from $17-$43. Local draft beers. Expensive wine list. The cheapest white is $60 a bottle for an Albarino from California, $72 for a Santa Barbara Pinot Noir, and then up to sell several over $200 and $300. The Dominus, from Napa, is $620. We brought our own wines; corkage is $35. Service is among the best we've experienced in the county. This included the handling of our two older wines and great busing service throughout the dinner, with water refills and well-orchestrated clearing of the plates. Somewhat dark, noisy interior, outdoor patio for casual dining and happy hour fun, watching the colorful crowds passing by on this busy section of Solana Beach.

    Went here to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday! I've had this spot "saved" for this occasion!…read more We had 7 in the other party, so yes, we definitely made reservations. We had this fun bar table so we were higher off the ground. It was cold, so sitting near the door was not fun when the door kept opening and closing with that draft coming in. That made our experience a little more annoying. Most of us had to keep our jacket on to stay warm. Wasn't really expecting to wear my jacket during dinner. Anyways, forget my coldness for a second. The food was delicious and here I go: Parker House Rolls (we ordered 2)....YUM! fresh out of the oven....soft and just yum! Bacon: it was alright....not a fan of the glaze, but others in my party liked it. Boards: Associate (1) and Executive (1) Meat: 8 oz snake river wagyu and 22 oz dry-aged ribeye Sides: Potato au gratin (2), asparagus (1), whipped potatoes (2), shell mac (2) and broccolini (1) It was a great experience, definitely on the pricey side, but my daughter enjoyed her 21st birthday dinner surprise with family!
