Our family really enjoyed the delicious food and casual atmosphere. Italian food is my favorite and a favorite in my family for generations. We shared and I liked everything we ordered, especially the beef ravioli. I definitely recommend having dinner here. My one regret is that this restaurant isn’t closer to my home.

Blade 1936 hosted a fantastic milestone birthday for our boisterous group of 30 people. We reserved the back room in a custom table configuration. It wasn’t a typical layout but they were accommodating and happy to try our approach. There is nothing more they could have done to make such a great night possible.

Blade 1936 is still a great spot for anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience. The ambiance is cozy and intimate, and the menu is full of interesting and creative dishes. While the cioppino might have been a miss, there are plenty of other dishes on the menu that are definitely worth trying. Blade 1936 is a great spot for a night out with friends or a date, and the food is definitely worth checking out.

Great experience as always! We extra stayed another night after IRONMAN 70.3 to celebrate with good food and a great family time. Bruschetta as appetizer, main courses bistecca di manzo, scalloppine di pollo, pappardelle ai funghi and pizza margherita are family favorites! Can’t pass on tiramisu for desert!

Kids had a pep. Wife and I enjoyed a carbonara pie, with a runny egg in the middle! Beat salad! Lovely service! Highly recommended!

Unfortunately this place is NOT celiac safe! I watched them make the pizzas and the staff is not careful or properly trained with food allergies. There is flour all over the kitchen and the pizza oven and I had to tell them not to use the gluten pizza cutter on gluten free pizza.

Great vibe. Very good service. From what I saw leaving the kitchen in general I’d say the portions are bountiful. I chose pizza which is why I came here tonight.

I lived in Italy for 2 years while serving in the Navy and this place was about as close to authentic italian pizza as I’ve seen so far! The flour is actually imported from Napoli! Excellent food, great service, and owned by a fellow navy veteran! Absolutely will be coming back!

This is definitely the place to eat in Oceanside. The food was delicious! Per the servers recommendation I had a wonderful red wine. The pappardelle pasta with shrimp was really good, I loved the mushrooms in it. I had to try the tiramisu and it was as good as I hoped for. The outside seating is relaxing and perfect for a date night or a small group. Will definitely be coming back here.

Excellent food, drinks, and service. The risotto, pasta, and pizza are all great. We have never had a bad meal here. Just don’t expect to have a conversation. This place gets quite loud when it’s busy.
