Die besten authentischen Restaurants in San Clemente

We went for our anniversary and the team made it very special for us beyond simply providing timely and friendly service. They went above and beyond, clearly taking extra care when we told them it was our anniversary. The food was well-made, flavorful, and presented nicely. Our drinks were delicious as well. We will be back next year if not sooner!

Authentic Italian food! Excellent selection of wines by the glass, including some specials. The Calamari fritti was delicately breaded and not over-fried. I had the house made pappardelle with Buona Forchetta sauce - white with a splash of spicy marinara. A kick but not enough to be off-putting. I added sausage to my pasta at the suggestion of Simone, our lovely server. He was spot on with that add. A perfect flavor blend! Others have said portions were on the smaller side but this was an appropriate size and I could not finish it. To their credit, it was not drowning in sauce. It was an amazing dish. My husband had the tagliolini with truffle which tasted incredible. Huge depth of flavor from the truffles without being overwhelming. The only thing that I would have changed was the timing between appetizer and entree. I wanted to linger a little longer in this lovely spot. We can’t wait to go back.

Vegetarian food was great. If more choice it would have been better. Loved the service and presentation of food.

We had a very nice dining experience at Slyvesters. We sat at the bar, the restaurant is beautifully designed and appointed. The food was top notch. From the herbed focaccia bread to the short rib lasagna everything was excellent. The service at the bar was very good. We are excited to try more of the menu and will definitely return.

Incredible food made by scratch. The flavors and textures of the food were so unique and so delicious! Cocktails and wine all from Mexico. Entire staff is so passionate about the food!
