We went here because we had a gift certificate from restaurants.com. We were pleasantly surprised. The happy hour menu was very affordable. Dinner a bit on the expensive side but our certificate helped with that. The food was very good and the service was very attentive. Overall a great time. We will be back. more

This small Del Mar bistro is just a few steps off the main drag. We ate on the small street-side patio and watched the sunset. The food was quite good and the service was a bit slow but very pleasant. The place is included in the Restaurant.com discount program so what would have been a somewhat pricey meal became a... more

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Sbicca and it was wonderful! We live in New Hampshire and had to make arrangements through e-mail and phone calls and Dan was wonderful to deal with. The dinner was held on their upstairs patio with views of the ocean. We had 30 guests and the service and food was great! more

I had a positive experience here, even though it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The view from the patio was nice, although it wasn't as good a view as some other places in Del Mar have. The food and wine list were both good. more

The food, atmosphere, and service were great and we ended up there on a Thursday night which happens to be their 1/2-price wine night - every bottle of wine on their (long & well-chosen) wine list was 1/2 price. We thoroughly enjoyed a bottle of Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc as we basked in the warmth of a nearby fireplace. Our waiter... more

Beautiful view and nice service. Good location to bring out-of-towners. I was disappointed however in their "signature" mac and 3x cheese. It was so bland I had to add salt several times and I never use salt. I would try again someday. more

I have dined at Sbicca three times. It seems that the experience is different each time. Not bad but certainly not improving. The same host has been there each visit and I have found him to be warm and welcoming or completely aloof (at best). A new hostess on our last visit really didn't have a clue. Just welcome me... more

For the very simple and limited menu, and so so plate presentation & quality of food, i though the place was overrated and overpriced. more
