“Beautifully decorated traditional Italian restaurant. Great light lunch with a simple Verandah Salads and an added grilled prawns. Portion of salads were unexpectedly big and the grilled prawns excellently cooked. Scampi e Pancrtta grilled prawn wrapped with pancetta great dish.“

“I stopped by this deli, after it was recommended to me. There was a mix up with my order and the young lady at the window was very nice and she corrected my order with no questions asked. The food was fresh, delicious and worth the wait. Great customer service. They have a few tables outside, it was a beautiful day so it was nice. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a good local spot to get a sandwich!“

“I had a caprese salad & a chicken Caesar wrap (I bet that Caesar never ate wraps), cannolis & an Arnold Palmer. All the food was good and the waiter was friendly and they had the World Cup on. There's outside seating that overlooks the Concord plaza. I highly recommend Cafe Napolina if you ever find yourself hungry in Concord, California.“

“I had a takeout pizza from this restaurant last night first of all the customer service was absolutely excellent. The person that answered the phone had a really pleasant customer focused manner , nothing was too much trouble and he was so polite. The pizza was absolutely amazing , I hate anything that is too heavy and it was so light and lovely , the ingredients tasted extremely fresh , I would 100% recommend this place based upon my first experience and I will be back thanks so much 🥰“

“I had a company retirement party lunch. We shared a margarita pizza and salad for appetizer. The pizza was off the charts delicious. The sauce was amazing. We also shared the octopus. The octopus was the best octopus I have eaten in over 30 years. It was five plus stars!!!! However, my lunch entree of halibut chickpeas & zucchini completely missed the mark. The spices and pepper on the halibut destroyed the beautiful delicate fish. The chickpea zucchini and two other unrecognizable, hard bitter crunchy vegetables tasted awful. I was very disappointed at the $32 entree. The person who chose the hamburger said it was tasty but it was huge enough for two meals. The Panini people were so-so. Finally the pasta people absolutely loved their pasta. After tasting the gnocchi it was exceptional, the marinara sauce was off the charts delicious.“

“I really like Pancoast. Wife is a newyorker and Pancoast’s pizza style is right up her alley. They have 4 tap beers and they’re some of the best in Norcal - nice to see somebody cares about great beer. I order to go, get a beer at the bar, and take home. They’re seemingly busy all the time so Pancoast has a following.

Parking sucks, they have to share with their neighboring businesses so plan to get a spot on the street.“

“Just tried Tandoori Pizza for the first time and were blown away. The pizza crust is delicious, not too much sauce on the pizzas, and packed full of flavor.

We tried the Tandoori Chicken pizza and the Butter Chicken pizza. They smelled and tasted incredible. My husband said it was genuinely the best pizza he has had in years. So different yet made complete sense. This is our new pizza place now.“
