A lovely place for team-building. They gladly accommodated 15 of us and were super hospitable. The menu is authentic north italian and they served us delish italian wines with our meal. Everybody loved their steak. All of us loved the dessert options as well - the apple strudel is something you will have to go experience here - probably the best I've had. Highly recommend - A+++Suggestion - I wish they had more enticing options for vegetarians. Right now, it's couple of simple pasta and 1-2x gnocchi :(
Came through on one of the first warm nights this year (mid May) and while I’ve known about this place for a while, I was encouraged to check it out again on a recent Friday night thanks to a review mention that this is a good place to take kids.Food was good and filling, table service was good, overall customer service was excellent!The dining room manager / host helped make the e evening especially memorable, he made sure to welcome us warmly when we arrived, promptly set up a table for us out on the patio, then checked in with us later on to make sure we had a good dinner and (correctly) pointed out what a beautiful evening it was. His singing was really good too!Thank you to the entire staff for a great evening.Bonus: our kids loved seeing the trains go by every so often too.
Terrific Italian food on the busy Castro St. They have wonderful al fresco dining, we went on a Friday evening and it was a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy the delicious food. Plenty of seating both indoors and outside.Their complimentary bread and oil was better than most I've tasted, ate quite a few of those! I got the gnocchi al pesto while my friends got fettuccine alla diavola, chicken parmesan, and penne con pollo. We all really enjoyed our dishes from start to finish. The only reason I'm docking 1 star is for the service. Our waiter took quite a while after seating us, and we never felt properly attended to, even though they weren't too busy. Perhaps it was a one off because otherwise this is a wonderful restaurant!
If you miss family and the joys that come with a family celebrating food, music and wine today, then a dining experience here is a must.Food is delicious and there are also fantastic veggie options for the vegetarians in the group.
Carbonara and the free focaccia + dip is great
Really good food and service.Great:1. The oil dipping served with the Bread basket, yum.2. Caprese was fresh.3. Ravioli tasted amazing.Not so great:1. Chicken was a bit overcooked (but I always say, its better to eat overcooked Chicken than undercooked one).2. The layered cake had a little too much of baking powder in it. (I know this because my wife bakes really amazing cakes and I'm the one who usually taste it :P)We were pretty comfortable sitting outside even though it was a bit chilly and there was a drizzle. All thanks to really powerful heaters they had installed outside.
This is by far my favorite little Italian restaurant in the area. The atmosphere alone is amazing. The owner, chef, and staff are all amazingly polite and friendly. The food is just a bonus to top off the amazing atmosphere. And the food IS amazing!!! I leave smiling and with a happy stomach every time. My go to Italian restaurant whenever I can make it in.
great ambience. good food and music. Loved the vibe of this place. Ample outdoor seating available. the food was good. The penne alfredo was not good but gnocchi was great !!! Dessert options was less but then it was good. Candle light dinner with music at its best! definitely coming back here.
Went there for my birthday and had the best restaurant experience that I've had in longer than I can remember. It was truly a joy to dine there. The staff is extremely friendly and just made the experience even better. Food was also delicious and was not disappointed in anything that I tried.
The food was well made and hearty with generous portions. The complimentary bread and dip was so good. The service here was wonderful. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and attentive.
