Food was good.. I got the papardeli carbona it was salty. Wife got some gluten free stuff that was pretty much like all the other Italian restos.. my daughter and son in law got some pasta with shrimp.. and the kids got spaghetti and pizza.. asked them to close the door as it was cold out but they kinda shrugged me off as it was their entry to the patio and I guess they'd take want to open and close it. Had to ask for parmesan! Refills on ice tea...

Only went for drinks and shared a fish and chips plate but it was (mostly) gluten free which is rare for fishnchips. Atmosphere was great, felt like I went on vacation somewhere.

Definitely a nice sandwich shop. Similar offerings to Jersey Mike’s type places but definitely fresher and tastier! The turkey and pastrami was very yummy and great portions! The pickles are excellent too. Service was slow, but the people were nice. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! Decent gluten-free offerings too!

The chopped salad was delicious and the waitress was very nice! Ambiance was great too, and as a mom I appreciate them having a diaper changing station in the women's restroom! Overall great experience and I'll be back! My only wish is that they'd have a gluten-free oven so that I could get pizza, but oh well.

First - the good. Went here on Saturday (March 2nd) with some friends to try something new and close to home. Our waitress was amazing and the food was tasty. Four of us shared three appetizers: chips with guacamole and queso; caprese; pesto with mozzarella. One of us has Celiac and the waitress was very helpful in discussing the gluten free items. So why 1 star? Here’s the bad - Yelp lists that the place is open until 11pm on a Saturday. No hours are listed on the door. At 9:30 pm - a lady (not our waitress) yells out at the top of her voice, hand cupped around her mouth, that people need to pay and leave because they were closed and wanted to go home. We had already paid for our bill. There were other people still at the bar. There were two smallish children running around the restaurant. We had no idea they were closed. Rather than politely coming to us and letting us know they were closed, they chose to assume we should have known this and we were deliberately preventing them from leaving. We were aware that the kitchen had closed but thought the bar was still open. There are two other bar type venues close by. While we did think it strange the kitchen was closed but the bar remained opened, we thought maybe they stayed open to compete with the other two venues. Especially since it was a Saturday night. Even though the rest of our experience was good - I won’t go back. It was so unprofessional. I would have given 5 stars had they simply come up and said something like “you might not be aware since our hours are not listed, but we’re closing at this time.”

Our family group had a get together at Eugenio Italian Ristorante this past weekend and it was truly a treat! Eugenio is a hidden gem in San Marcos. I have traveled the world and eaten in countless fine dining establishments. Eugenio's food stands up to the best of them!! Their service is great and the variety of beautifully prepared dishes for varied tastes is impressive, including for those who have gluten tolerance issues. I would highly recommend Eugenio's Ristorante, truly a worthwhile place for excellent food and atmosphere!!
