Hippo restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with its amazing food, excellent drinks, and top-notch service. It represents Californian-Italian cuisine, where tradition meets fresh seasonal produce. Favorites include the Hippo rolls, broccolini ravioli, chicken thighs, and crudo, along with wonderful housemade pasta like the duck ragu tagliolini, which features tender al dente noodles and a hearty sauce. The staff is accommodating and sweet, making it a great spot for fancy to casual dining. The ambiance is wonderful, with a large interior space adorned with funky designs and high ceilings, though it can get very loud inside, making conversation challenging at times. Guests have enjoyed the tasty food and drinks, mentioning the delicious bread with honey butter and the wax beans as favorites. The focaccia is also noted for its suppleness and rosemary flavor, perfect for sopping up sauce. While some dishes, like the scallops and steak, received mixed feedback, the butterscotch budino dessert has been praised for its smooth texture and balance of flavors. Despite the busy atmosphere, service remains decent and attentive, especially at the bar. Overall experiences have been positive, leaving diners with happy bellies and a desire to return.
