My husband and I hosted our son's first birthday at Meta last Saturday without ever trying the restaurant. I can't begin to express how much we loved everything about them!! Roberto, the owner, was a pleasure to work with from day 1. He was extremely accommodating and reassuring that everything would be perfect.
The food was outstanding and the services was great! I don't recall the names of the gentlemen that worked the party, but they were very attentive to myself and all the guests. Everything went without a glitch.
I cannot wait to go back!
I recently dined with my wife at Meta Italian restaurant in Oceanside to celebrate my birthday.
Its not the first time we've been there. But as always it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly waitstaff who truly enhanced our visit. The food was exceptional, showcasing the culinary expertise of the kitchen. The wine selection is impressive, offering a perfect complement to our meal. What truly sets Meta apart was the personal touch of the owner Roberto, who take time to visit tables and engage with customers. Its not everyday you find an owner so dedicated to ensuring a memorable dining experience. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, making it an ideal spot with a warm ambiance. Meta is undoubtedly one of the best Italian restaurants in the area. You will not be disappointed.
This place is lovely.
It's super small and intimate.
The food is wonderful.
The little neck clams were flavorful and crunchy.
The rice balls were tasty and creamy.
There could have been more veal parm on the plate but still tender and tasty. Loved the sauce.
Pop Pop's Pasta was awesome! Just the right blend of flavors and the garlic & oil has been perfected. Idk the base for the meatballs but the raisin and pine nut are virtually undetectable! 😋

We ate here the Saturday before mother's day. Made a reservation at 5 for 7 people(two were children under 5yrs). Highly reccomend a reservation because by the time we left it was packed! Ordered the calamari, bruschetta, pot of mussels and crab cappuccino (that was just my dads) to start. Everyone shared and it was just right. The veal chop sole was awesome and filling. The shrimp limoncello and peroni battered shrimp got good reviews from the table. The duck was very sweet and the chicken parm was hearty and delicious. Everything was paired with the Santa Maria Pinot Grigio. My mom was raving for the affagado espresso float but substituted the coffee with Kalua. Overall everyone enjoyed themselves and were happy. Our waitress was awesome as well. Susan I think.
