It was also my first pizza from them. I ordered the Salsiccia pizza which has a sweet fennel sausage on it. The sausage tasted homemade. Perfectly seasoned.

The food is reminiscent of my Nonna's cooking.

There was another hair on the lemon wedge that was old. We had the Scoglio - spaghetti with muscles around the plate and a pizza. We told the waitress that the muscles tasted old. She went to the kitchen and it took her 5 minutes to come back out. The other 2 people in the restaurant had finished eating. It took her a long time to come back out to tell us that the muscles were in a sealed bag in the refrigerator. Who knows how long in the refrigerator? My friend got food poisoning from it. Kept throwing up and slept for the rest of the day. Still felt woozy the next morning. We called the restaurant and the gal took our name and number down and said the manager will call us. To this date we have not received a call. I guess it's time to call the San Diego Health Department? The pizza was good but too expensive!

Walked into a busy, hot and crowded room that smelt like absolute dough heaven. I've been trying my best to cut out gluten and cheese from my diet and saw online that they had vegan pizza! To my surprise they had a whole vegan menu...amazing. I also ordered one of their many non-alcoholic options- a Riesling wine, really hit the spot. I had a lovely server who took the time out of very busy wave (not to mention only 2 people on the floor) to describe the whole menu to me, he was very kind and attentive. The pizza shown in the picture is a vegan BBQ smoke show, with their authentic Italian flour dough- although not gluten free (I'm not a fan of cauliflower dough) i left not feeling 'sick' or bloated. I was beyond happy that the pizza wasn't lacking in flavor or looks, very well done. If i could have devoured my pizza in one sitting i would have, but i had to bring it home. The space was hot and muggy but sometimes that's where a lotttt of magic happens! First impression was a hit, will definitely be back to test it out again!

The restaurant has such a great vibe with a full bar, outdoor patio, amazing service, and a private room in the back where they occasionally host wine tasting dinners with full five-course meals, which we absolutely love attending. The owner, Donia, is one of the kindest and happiest people and always makes us feel so welcome. The chef is also such a great guy and incredibly talented. You can tell how much they genuinely care about the restaurant and everyone who comes through the door. And the food is seriously outstanding. We've tried so much of the menu and honestly have never had a bad dish. Even the bread they bring out is amazing! The arancini and meatballs are some of my favorites in town, the salads and pastas are incredible, and the pizzas are always so good, especially the Sud Italia with hot honey. You really can't go wrong with anything you order here. I highly recommend making the trip, and if you can, come during happy hour from 4-6 PM for some great small dishes and drinks. One of those places we keep coming back to week after week!

They didn't have any of the Orfila wine options, but our waiter made some accommodations since we are Owl Wine Club members. The bread and lentils appetizer was unexpectedly tasty. For dinner I ordered the Papardell with Sausage ragout; it was a much better option than my last meal at Amalfi. Overall, the visit was very pleasant and I would recommend it.

From the customer service, food, ambience, etc, the entire experience was a 20 out of 10. I specifically want to highlight a few people who made this event more than just memorable. Gwen, as the event coordinator for Ciao, was very communicative and hands-on from start to finish. From the staff who helped answer all our questions to everyone who worked the event, I am so grateful for your professionalism and support in making the event amazing. If you ever choose this place for one of your events, you will not regret it. I'm just mad that I've been in the local area for too many years and only discovered this restaurant less than two months ago. After having lunch there, I decided to ask if we could host my husband's party. I was then escorted to the ballroom, and the decision was made without question. After the event, I have absolutely no regrets! Highly highly recommend. Even if you don't have an event, the food is authentic Italian. My next plan is to visit Italy after engaging with our new friends from Ciao!!

This is for the brand new ciao cafe. It is under an arbor on the left side of the building (when…read moreyou are facing the building) and is a bit hidden. There is a cafe sign on the ground and music playing in the background. I recently saw on Instagram they had opened a new outdoor cafe that was open weekends. I went on a Sunday morning and it was a bit drizzly, but the market umbrellas kept us dry. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We had lattes and split an apricot croissant. The cool weather was lovely after a long heat wave we've been having and we enjoyed our coffee and pastry. It was pretty empty either due to the weather or because it was so new. It's such a lovely little spot. I have also eaten here in the main restaurant several times over the years for luncheons and dinners and have enjoyed my meals. I look forward to returning.

I've been to Dominic's Italian Restaurant in Oceanside a few times now, and it's always been a…read moresolid experience. The biggest highlight is the freshness of the food. You can tell everything is made with quality ingredients. We ordered the calamari, and it was fantastic, especially with the dipping sauce. The homemade breadsticks were fresh, although I definitely recommend getting a side of marinara since they're a little plain on their own. We also ordered the meat ravioli and pasta with meatballs to go, and both were delicious. For pizza, we had the 12-inch Meat Lover's. The toppings and ingredients were fresh, but the crust wasn't quite what I expected. I wish I had taken a picture of the underside because it lacked that crispy, well-baked texture I usually look for. That said, it was still a good pizza and was the perfect size to share with my 12-year-old son. The restaurant itself was very clean, both inside and on the patio. We chose to eat outside since it was a hot day, and the harbor views gave the place a relaxing, old-school 90s coastal vibe. Parking around the harbor can be a challenge, and the shared public restrooms definitely show their age. Service was just okay during this visit. Nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out either. The owner has always been incredibly friendly, though. On a previous visit, he even surprised my kids with free desserts, which was a really nice touch. Like many places around the harbor, prices seem a bit higher because of the tourist location. Even so, the quality of the food keeps bringing us back. This was my third or fourth visit, and while there isn't one thing that absolutely blows me away, it's consistently good Italian food in Oceanside. I'd definitely recommend giving Dominic's a try if you're looking for fresh food in a great harbor setting. 4.5/5

She let us know that all the pizzas were top-notch, and the sangria was popular on the menu for those sensitive to alcohol. The pizza did not disappoint. It's not thick on bread, but it's very generous with the toppings. The sangria was sweet and perfect with the humidity next to the beach. We came in the evening on a Thursday and it was quiet. But I checked out the reviews online and I'm happy I came. If you're gonna get the pizza. Get the Dominic special.

Our waiter Eduardo gave us expert guidance, especially with the extensive wine selection. My wife and I stopped here for lunch after reading the Yelp reviews. Surpassed our elevated expectations! We started with an exceptional appetizer of fried calamari & veggies. The carrots were sweet, the peppers were perfect and the calamari were delicate & not at all oily. My wife chose the bolognese tagliatelle and loved it, contrasting it with her own bolognese sauce and admittedly finding the Cucina's a cut above her own! I opted for the white ragu of balanzoni which was a refreshingly different take on a traditional ragu. Although we were both stuffed from the abundant courses, I couldn't pass up the semifreddo and I'm glad we didn't. We devoured every bite! Fantastic food, with service to match -- as warm & welcoming as it was expert & knowledgeable. Cannot wait to return when we revisit Carlsbad in January.

Calamari was good, there were exactly 2 shrimp, handles of the serving spoons sitting in the sauce which is a miss of a detail, ultimately seemed under seasoned and there is a pile of food sitting in oil on wood. Parmesan prosciutto pasta was well cooked, fresh cracked black pepper would have been beneficial. Tiramisu was the best dish, the mascarpone crème was definitely my favorite, was a lil sad by the lack of coffe and rum soaked lady fingers.
