One of the best Italian restaurants in the Bay area. Everything is great. Favorite appetizers include the mussels, the mozzarella in marinara, and the Calamari. Some of our favorite mains were the pesto gnocchi (so soft!!), and honestly any of the pastas. Some of the creamy pastas they make with a tasty bourbon sauce, which is amazing, but really any dish will blow you away. 10/10, would definitely go again!
The food is delicious and the service is even better. My wife and I ordered a salad, pasta, and a main course. They offered to serve our order as a 3 course meal which we loved. The service was very fast and they made sure to check on us during our meal. Ask to see the dessert tray!
I've dined here before for my birthday and thought this place was amazing! So, I made reservations here for my parent's anniversary. They absolutely loved the food. Staff was super friendly and incredibly kind and helpful in coordinating with me about paying for their dinner. Dad loved the seafood plate. Practically licked it clean! Would be coming back for sure!
This might be the best gnocchi I have EVER eaten. The most melty pillowy potato puffs. We sat on the patio which was made extra cozy by greenery and heaters. Service was immaculate. Will hopefully be able to return next time I am in the area for work. Thank you!
The vibe of the place is amazing for a date night. The service is great, everyone was soo welcoming! We enjoyed the burrata with figs, Gnocchi alla genovese , Penne santa rosalia and chocolate hazelnut cake for desert.
Highly recommend -
Gnocchi alla genovese 5/5 star and,
Chocolate Hazelnut cake - 5/5 star.
Penne Santa rosalia was also our favorite the sauce was soo different and creamy and delicious!
Definitely would love to visit again!
Amazing Italian food!! 😍 highly recommend the vegetarian gnocchi and the santa rosalina! We avoid got the bruschetta and fried mozarella appetizer which were good. Cozy place, would recommend reservation. Server was super polite, food came very quickly even though the restaurant was full.
Highly recommend!
The food was good, service was great and atmosphere was good. Our waiter was super attentive which I really appreciated. The food was good, but I feel like it could have been better for the price? The friend mozzarella on marinara sauces was delicious though.
First time here! My roommate ordered Spaghetti Tutto Mare and I got Spaghetti Porticello. We also got Calamari, Carpaccio, & Tortellini in Brodo as appetizers and soup.
We loved all the dishes as it wasn’t heavy on the sauce. The appetizers were on point too.
100% will come back again!
Good solid Italian food. The fettuccine is a must. Sit outside because inside is really loud. The acoustics are not great inside, but the porch is nice. Nice wine selection. Thank you
I really enjoyed visiting here! The service was good, and even though it was in a small house, it didn’t feel crowded. As far as I can tell, everything was made in house even down to the mozzarella sticks. They are definitely not those reheated microwave kinds, they’re bigger and really good. I will say it’s a little pricey, but if you know that it’s going to be amazing and very high quality, then it isn’t a problem. Lasagna came right out of the oven piping hot, and the Spaghetti Porticello was so good! The Black Forest cake was the best I’ve ever had. Wish it had a few more cherries, but still the best.
