Sbicca

We recently had an incredible happy hour experience that was all about good food, drinks, and the perfect vibe. The lineup we ordered included calamari, sliders, and sweet potato fries, and each dish was a standout. The calamari was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and not overly greasy. Paired with a flavorful dipping sauce, it was one of the best we’ve had and set the tone for a delicious spread. Next came the sliders, which were an absolute treat. The patties were juicy, well-seasoned, and served on soft, fresh buns. Topped with crisp veggies and cheese, each slider was packed with balanced flavors and just the right size to make you want more without being overwhelming. They were ideal for sharing or enjoying solo. The sweet potato fries rounded out our order. These were just the right blend of crispy and soft, seasoned perfectly to highlight their natural sweetness. The dipping sauce added a touch of extra flavor, making them an irresistible snack. A side note that made this happy hour even better: they offer half-off wine bottles on Tuesdays and Thursdays! This deal is perfect for wine lovers looking to elevate their happy hour experience. On top of it all, the service was fantastic. Our server was attentive, ensuring we had refills and everything we needed. The happy hour vibe was lively but relaxed, a great setting for enjoying delicious bites and drinks. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-tier happy hour!

Sbicca seems to be our go-to when my friend and I stay in Del Mar, convenient, good Happy Hour and 1/2 wine bottle days. We were in Del Mar for an extended stay and ended up dining here 4 time, all for Happy Hour at the bar area and meeting friend for dinner on the street level patio area. Out of all the times the service from the Bar and Jose on the patio was excellent. This is a great place to meet friends. As far as drinks go, the bar makes excellent Skinny Margaritas, Bloody Marys, Espresso and Regular Martinis and their 1/2 off wine days are great. Food has always been consistently good. The Mussels, Shrimp Fettuccini, Crispy Chicken Buns, Farm Burger, Salmon Crudo and the Meatballs all hot and fresh. The Mussels and burgers were excellent. Atmosphere: nice relaxing vibe, both indoor and outdoor seating. Service: excellent at Bar & Patio. Food: good.

Ocean view dining (from the outdoor lanai) Friendly and welcoming waiters and staff Fresh, delicious grinds Unique menu items Friend calamari steak pupu was outstanding Fish tacos (very generous portions of halibut) with choice of side fries or salad. Tacos come with fried fish but we asked for grilled.

My wife had a small event planned at SBICCA in Del Mar on Saturday night. We drove down the coast on Sunday so I could enjoy the atmosphere. Alec the G M greeted us immediately and was glad to see my wife and introduced himself. He sat us immediately and we enjoyed libations, appetizers, and the ambiance. The food is amazing and Eddie our waiter was very attentive. By the way as we were leaving the owner came by with Alec and gave us a hug and took time to talk with us…. Five star for sure. Rarely do I leave a five star review and trust me this place is a treasure. Please make sure you take time to stop in and have a drink and appetizer you won’t regret it! Just Lovely

Sbicca is a unique dining experience in Del Mar. Food, service and atmosphere are amazing. Shishito Peppers and Charcuterie are my favorites. Never had a bad meal and the view never disappoints.

I liked the food, I ordered the Sirloin Taco with fries. It was good, but it would have been better if they put two tortillas on it as the meat soaked through one tortillas pretty quick and if they would have chopped the meat up for taking tacos sized bites. I had to chow a giant slice in one bite. The other food was good too . If you read this review as the owner, manager, or chef take a few seconds to add a tortilla at least. And chop it would make it a 5 star taco. And no need to increase the price for those small changes.

Welcoming environment through the open design and service. Chose the Blackened Shrimp Salad on my visit. In my opinion, the salad was overpriced at 32$.

What a fantastic restaurant! We chatted with the owner for a bit before sitting down and he was lovely, accommodated quickly putting together an indoor table for us. Tons of lovely outdoor seating but we were with someone who wanted to be indoors. The waiter we had was phenomenal, very honest about his take on recommendations and dishes that were not as exciting. Always appreciate the candid feedback versus “everything on the menu is fantastic.” The beet salad and lobster bisque were great, chicken buns were good, the tuna, chicken and pork entrees were great. The pork chop is massive, easily shareable for two. We will be back.
