4. Waverly
Located in Cardiff By The Sea, Waverly is the new hot spot in the North County. Labeled as an American cuisine with a European influence the ambiance and food is like no other.

5. Enoteca Adriano
The freshest Italian food I have yet to try in San Diego. Enoteca Adriano is a small restaurant located in North Pacific Beach. A small and intimate restaurant, their food is made and created with a warm touch. Any pasta entree is heavenly. At Enoteca Adriano they make their pasta fresh in house and sauces. Majority of their ingredients they use in house are local and picked carefully from the best. They offer a small corkage fee which is great to bring your own bottle of vino but also have the option to choose any great wine from their extensive list. The restaurant offers a homey feel with a nice private outdoor patio. Enjoy and divulge in the dining experience at Enoteca Adriano.
