Roman trattorias are a timeless expression of simplicity. Immune to the lure of gastronomic experimentation and ego. In Rome, no chef can cook better than the mothers and grandmothers before them. Our goal is to merge the dogmatic approach of Roman cooking with the amazing abundance of ingredients available to us in San Diego. A True Roman Holiday In SD. A 4% surcharge is added to all guest checks.

Callie represents Chef Travis Swikard's debut solo project after spending a decade working alongside the esteemed Chef Daniel Boulud in New York City. The restaurant’s name, "Callie," comes from the Greek word "kallos," meaning "the most beautiful," and embodies its blend of Mediterranean cuisine with local ingredients and terroir, from sea to land from San Diego, Swikard's hometown. In 2022, Callie was acclaimed as one of America's top new restaurants by Esquire and Robb Report, and received both a Bib Gourmand and a Plate from the Michelin Guide. Callie is a dedicated supporter of Feeding San Diego, having contributed over 1 million meals to those in need in San Diego since its launch. Swikard is set to open his second restaurant in La Jolla in 2025.

    This place was gorgeous. The food was great! We ordered a lot and were so full. The kare kare short rib was impeccable as well as the crab fried rice. The Taiwanese chicken was a touch too sweet but still delicious. The servers are amazing and attentive. Had really conversation with Jess, she so sweet, caring and vibrant. Our server was fabulous as well. It was my birthday so and we had order some sweets which here THE BEST PART and they even brought out an extra bday suprise which I fully enjoyed. I will be coming back everytime I visit SD.

    I always say it’s the little things that go a long way. Seneca has been recommended to me by several of my friends and finally for our daughter’s birthday we decided to make reservations here; I am so happy we did. From the small note for the 16th birthday on the menu to everyone that greeted us, the lovely hostess to the server and wait staff our daughter felt so special for her 16th birthday. Thank you so much for making her 16th birthday a core memory and extra special.

    From the time I walked in until the time I walked out, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. The servers, the assistants, the hostesses … everyone made you feel special. Everyone’s recommendations were spot on. I cannot wait to return in my next trip. The food was delicious. I ordered things I wouldn’t usually order and was very pleased.
