“It’s not my first time here. Whenever we come we always get gelato. But this time we ordered food. We got the focaccia and it was really good and of course we got gelato.

It’s a good place to stop if you’re wanting a small snack. But you can order a full meal as well. Both the chef and the woman at the counter are really nice and friendly. They have actual conversation with.

The place does get busy people in groups come and go. The inside of the cafe is tiny but they have outdoor sitting that’s really cute. I’d come here again.“

“Good food..only negative was the waitress didn't come by when my soup ran out. Went someplace with manager and other waitresses just walked by. Need to have team work at these restaurants..if you see something do something. Overall a good meal and the waitress was nice. Forgot to bring our last order of breadsticks but that's okay.“

“Pizza is my obsession. Having lived in NYC I know the real taste of Authentic New York Pizza. When I first moved to the East Bay It was frustrating trying to find a real New York style Pizza until I discovered this amazing place in the heart of Brentwood called AMECI PIZZA KITCHEN. Their Pizza is out of this world delicious and reminds me of old good days in NYC. Customer service at AMECI is always on point and they never disappoint. AMECI team will make everything right and make sure to exceed your expectations. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!“

“Our family recently visited Rubiano’s in Brentwood, California for an early Saturday night dinner to celebrate my birthday, and we had a memorable experience. Our server, Meghan, who also turned out to be the manager, was friendly, helpful, and extremely professional. She ensured that our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable.

I ordered the Pizza Verde, which was simply outstanding. It has a pesto sauce with Artichoke hearts, garlic, and tomatoes, The Caprese salad I had was beautifully presented, although the tomatoes needed significant improvement. They were pale, pink, ice-cold, and too firm. For a delightful Caprese Salad, heirloom tomatoes or at least juicy red vine-ripened tomatoes would have been a better choice.

The atmosphere at Rubiano’s is very family-oriented, which means it can be quite lively with lots of noisy children. However, this adds to the charm if you’re looking for a casual, family-friendly environment.

My wife ordered the house salad, which was generously portioned and could easily satisfy two people. It was fresh and very satisfying.

A special highlight of the evening was when my wife mentioned it was my birthday, and Meghan surprised us with a complimentary dessert. The fried dough with cinnamon and sugar, served with vanilla ice cream, was delightful and a wonderful surprise to end the meal.

Overall, everyone enjoyed their meal, and it was a good time out. Rubiano’s offers a pleasant dining experience with excellent service and great food, making it a fantastic choice for family dinners. We will definitely be returning!“
