I’ve been wanting to check out Bella Vista Social Club for awhile after I had read Jinxi’s post about it earlier this year. At the time it was too far away for me to go for lunch, but since our office move to mid-Miramar/Mira Mesa, it’s much closer and easier drive. It’s right near the turn off for the Torrey Pines Glider Port and there’s a small sign out front indicating that there’s a restaurant nearby, otherwise you’d probably never know it was here. You can see a tiny bit of the ocean here. When I revisit, I’d like to take the food to go and then watch the hang gliders or at least check out the view over there! This is inside. There are slats on the wall to the right which let in a lot of light and an ocean breeze. There are large open doors to make it a bit drafty and very airy. I loved it! [ bella vista panini with brie cheese, prosciutto di parma and fig jam / $9.70 ] I zoned in on this sandwich just at the me
Nice spot. I had a lunch qith my husband this place. There is no ocean view but it is nice place for lunch. I ordered margarita pizza ,it was good.
I know the area and I was happily surprised by this place. I enjoyed so much attending an event. Weather was great to be on the terrace. The service is warm and the food is delicious!!. I'll come back angain soon!
Good place to be near campus but away at the same time. Outdoor seating is a great mix of couches and table seating. Wine beer and pasta all great. You can see the gliders floating over the cliffs too.
Absolutely fantastic brunch spot serving up delicious food. Food is slightly on the pricy side and the ocean is barely visible but the decor is amazing and the great San Diego weather cannot be beat. The countertop facing over the ocean is amazing. They even take Triton cash which is nice. Servers are all friendly and food comes out quickly.
The best thing here is the views and outdoor space. Food is good for the most part. Lunch might be better than dinner. Pastas and hummus were good. The pizza crust was a little soft.
Service: the staff are very friendly. The woman taking orders was not clear on the food and it's ingredients e.g. she assumed one dish was vegetarian when it wasn't and we ended up having to send it back.
Great cafeteria place. Options from croque Monsieur to gnocchi and quiches.
Paid parking $1/hour.
Brunch options are only available on Saturdays and Sundays

Wonderful location. Don’t let the paid parking put you off it’s delicious.
It was a chill dinner while listening to Bossa Nova jams by Calling Rio. The Margherita Pizza and Chicken Marsala was on point tasty.
This is a surprisingly good cafe in the most unusual place. They have great Italian food and health foods for lunch, plus some great kombucha tea drinks. However, they're located on a college campus. They have a wonderful patio for outside dining where you can watch the paragliders go by, but you're not quite close enough to see the ocean. There are no other nice restaurants or cafes close by so this makes a good option if you're visit Blacks beach or the paragliding facility down the street.
