Try Pascucci’s in front of Paseo Nuevo Mall for a nice Italian vibe and private seating in small alcoves with Italian theater-esque curtains. The Ravioli Sampler is only $13.50 yet tastes like $1M.

great hands-on place to see sea life up close! Drive right onto the pier and park - first 90 min. free! While you're at it, have your palm read and chow down on a superb sourdough clam chowder bowl.
