Seneca, a Roman trattoria from the prolific San Diego restaurant/bar group CH Projects, opened July 27 on the 19th floor of the InterContinental Hotel in Downtown San Diego. It’s serving dinner from 5 to 11 p.m. nightly.
The restaurant’s menu feature Roman-inspired dishes. Pizzas, pastas, whole fish with artichoke, bistecca Fiorentina (Florentine steak) and Coda alla Vaccinara (oxtail soup) with dark chocolate shavings are among the dishes created by CH Projects’ Jason McLeod and Kat Humphus in collaboration with Seneca executive chef Russell Rummer, who is formerly of Pizzeria Delfina in San Francisco.
Seneca’s bar serves five varieties of cocktails — spritz, long, fix, gin down and whiskey/agave — created by Anthony Schmidt and Andrew Cordero.
The restaurant’s design — by New York-based AvroKO — was inspired by nautical and shipboard mess halls. It’s at 901 Bayfront Court, Level 19, San Diego. senecatrattoria.com
