🌞 La Jolla locals know summer isn’t over yet.

Start the evening the classic way with a Manhattan. The only question is: up or on the rocks?

Then there’s our Caesar, prepared the old-school way. Fresh, crisp, and made right at your table.

Warm evenings, ocean breezes, and a little old-school La Jolla dining.

Since 1986, Manhattan has been serving classic Italian food, prime steaks and chops, and warm hospitality in the heart of La Jolla.

We’re proud to be woman-owned and to continue the traditions that have made Manhattan part of La Jolla for nearly four decades.

From tableside Caesar salad to flambéed favorites, live music, and the familiar dishes our guests have loved for years, Manhattan is all about the traditions that make dining here feel special.

If you haven’t discovered us yet, we’d love to welcome you.
