Cesarina

While you can get a great dinner at this colorful restaurant in Point Loma, Cesarina is one of the best choices for weekend brunch in the city. Sit at its bougainvillea-strewn patio and share dishes like prosciutto-avocado bruschettone and truffle polenta while sipping on espressos, spritzes, and lavender lemonade mimosas. In the dining room, there’s an oversized wall of jarred lemons and vegetables along with some bar seating, but if you’re lucky, you’ll get a seat where you can watch a staff member make your pasta.
