The shopping center across from San Marcos High School is not much to look at, but don't overlook the new Italian restaurant, Eugenios. Everything is made to order, so don't go if you're in a hurry. If you want some great Italian food, good wine a big menu, go to Eugenios.
We started with drinks, with wine well priced. House wines were $8-9, and other wines by the glass were around $11. They even offered individual single serving bottles of Prosecco. We shared an appetizer special, thinly sliced beef, tomatoes, and a large ball of fresh mozzarella, served with toasted bread. It was delicious. For entrees we had the smoked salmon pasta in vodka sauce, just delicious. Also, the chicken piccata, served with mashed potatoes and veggies was beautiful and so tasty. The short rib papparadelle was outstanding.
Eugenio, the owner, spent the last 10 years at West Bistro in Carlsbad. He opened the restaurant and was executive chef for the past 10 years. He is the only cook in the kitchen, so everything is made to order and is delicious. It's a big menu, with many appetizers, soups and salads, homemade pastas for the pasta dishes, entrees and pizzas. I don't know how he does it, but everything is good. Be sure to make a reservation, and enjoy.
