Ciccoitti's - Encinitas

You can’t beat dinner by the beach! Sunset views too. Sadly the food has almost zero Italian authenticity in flavor and generally bland. Staff were great though. I wanted to love this place… we tried this location instead of Amalfi’s. No comparison at all.

Always a great view. Service was poor. I was famished when I arrived and only offered a drink. Long wait times between seeing waiter with few customers (5:30 res. and did not see him again after main entree was served. Tables are old and sticky. Menus are old and sticky. Prices are too high for quality. Shrimp in Scampi Pompei was tough and too few for the $36+. Tomatoes in Bruschetta Al Pomodoro were definitely not fresh. Even the lava cake was mediocre. My daughter had Caesar Salad with chicken. It was the thinnest, longest slice of chicken we’d ever seen but it was surprisingly moist, tender and tasty. This restaurant will never suffer because of its location, but other(s offer great view AND worth price.

Friendly staff providing good service Wonderful food

Great meal, great view and Max was the best. Highly recommend!

Very nice server, great view also! Delicious appetizers!
