Seneca

$31 to $50
Italian
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

Why we love it

Alabaster statues and trickling fountains add a Roman holiday-like ambience to this rooftop trattoria. Enjoy lighter spins on Italian food like wood-fired prawns and pizza made with three-day fermented dough. Seneca lives on the 19th floor of the InterContinental, so your Roman feast comes with equally delicious Marina District views.

    At Seneca, we do something special for groups of 8-12 guests, as we invite large parties to gather together and feast. "Convivium" is a fixed three-course, family-style meal priced per guest. There is an entry level option as well as a supplemented option with more food. You won’t have to make any decisions, as we'll take care of everything, cooking up some of our favorite dishes from every section of the menu. However, because this is family style, all diners must choose the same option upon booking. Cancellations may be made up to 48 hours in advance of your reservation, any cancellations within the 48 hours are not eligible for refunds. Tax, 20% Gratuity, and 4% service fee applied at checkout.

    Great! Honestly though work on your dirty martinis. I’m a dirty martini connoisseur and yours is 2 on a scale of 1-10. Especially your bleu cheese olives. No bueno. Other than that excellent.

    Great views of the bay! This being our first time, our waitress Jade spent some quality time going over the menu and the options we chose did not disappoint. Prawns are a must! The ambience definitely added to the experience. Looking forward to dining again with friends!
