“Took my friend here for a Mother’s Day lunch. She was feeling blue because her kids didn’t show up. Panini’s was the closest and most convenient since I had to go back to work. I hoped it wouldn’t disappoint and it didn’t. She had a turkey avocado and she said it was just right. The service was spot on&she cheered up a bit. Thanks for that Panini crew.“

“My daughter took me and the hubby here for our Thanksgiving celebration since she couldn't come home (Sac) for actual Thanksgiving, we went to her. This was a night I won't soon forget! Having a nice meal with our daughter was a treat, the service was amazing and the food....OMG! Every bite of every dish I tasted was so so delicious! I can't get the butternut soup out of my head it was THAT good! We all ordered different food & shared bites with one another. This night was so enjoyable! Thank you, Sis & Thank you Mama Oakland!“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food! Outdoor dining, too!“

“The food was great, the service was excellent, I was very satisfied“

“Honestly one of the best pizza crusts I've ever had. I had the focaccia spring special pizza - with squash blossoms and burrata. The Pear Basil Gimlet is one of the best mocktails I've ever had. The brussels are dark brown and crispy and melty. Plus - LOTS of gluten free options!

I rarely have a meal where every single part of it is delicious. This place is a treat, I'd highly recommend it.“

“I loved that the menu happened to be all vegetarian when we went. The fact that they have a seasonal rotating menu will also definitely keep us coming back. The mushroom bolognese sauce was so rich and filled with umami. I didn’t take a picture of the saffron poached pears as I took it home to eat but I really enjoyed it - the flavors were very reminiscent of the Indian dessert Srikhand. There’s limited seating so it felt a little loud and crowded inside but I did enjoy the open kitchen concept.“

“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.“

“We are new to the area/California from NY we were delighted to find pizza as amazing as home! Friendly owner and staff.“

“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 🥰“

“Very tasty and carefully seasoned. All dishes were perfection“

“Went for dinner the other night. Had the Cacio e Pepe, one of my favorite pastas. It was delicious. Wife had the Saffron Risotto, also perfectly cooked. Service was a bit slow but the sever was friendly and the food was a welcome surprise. Only complaint was the chairs were uncomfortable. Will definitely go again.“

“The food is absolutely incredible! Fresh, flavorful, and some of the best Italian cuisine I’ve had. Every dish is made with care, and you can really taste the quality.

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the outstanding staff. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and goes above and beyond to make you feel at home.“

“the New England clam chowder was off the hook no longer do I have to drive all the way to San Francisco have a good piece of sourdough bread dipped in the delicious clam chowder thank you Great Impasta“

“You have to go there from brunch!! The dishes are packed with flavor and love. Fresh wonderful oatmeal, cheese eggs on toast! Omg all so delicious and Donna is an amazing host.“

“great food. good service.“

“I’ve put off writing this review because sometimes when you rave about your favorite restaurant, they eventually let you down. Lo Coco has done the exact opposite. Time after time, year after year, they have been remarkably consistent.

The staff is one of the biggest reasons I keep coming back. You see the same familiar faces, everyone is genuinely kind, and you immediately feel welcome. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. There’s nothing pretentious about the service, even though the food easily competes with restaurants that are.

I also love that they don’t take reservations. It’s first come, first served, and they don’t make you wait until your entire party arrives before seating you.

Now, the food…

The focaccia is incredible. The tomato sauce is one of the brightest, richest, freshest sauces I’ve ever had. Their pizzas are flawless. The homemade pasta is always cooked to the perfect al dente. The meatballs include currants, which might surprise some people, but they work beautifully and feel like a nod to traditional Italian cooking.

I’ve been fortunate enough to travel extensively and eat in restaurants all over the world. Lo Coco is genuinely in my top five. Not because it’s flashy, but because it’s consistently outstanding. Every single visit delivers exceptional food, warm hospitality, and an experience that keeps me coming back.

If you’re looking for authentic Italian food in Oakland, this is it.“

“Food is great, loved the chicken fettuccine, the bread. the place is clean, the servers are friendly and the service is fast. The price is just right. It’s my first time to be here and loved it.“

“There's some slight confusion because ordering from "Slice of Hollywood" from Eat24, you get pizza from Pizza Nation, but that's no big deal. The food is GOOD. Best wings I've ever had delivered, and the pizza is really good as well. plenty of toppings, and so far I've only had great experiences with them. Great combo price deals too!“

“Great sandwiches in downtown Berkeley with a lovely patio“

“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.“

“food was excellent..service was great...if u want excellent authentic Italian food...this is the place for you ..“

“This was our first time. Food was authentic Northern Italian. My family are from Le Marche’. The pizza & polla Parmagano was loved by our teenagers. And the Gnocchi was cooked to order per my request. Definitely adding this to my top 3 restaurants“

“Good pizza !!! Also affiliated with Haddon Hill Cafe. Nice local businesses“

“Excellent dining experience. Top notch food as well as a wonderful staff. Great ambiance too!“

“This is the best place for eating in San Leandro and aokland, the team is super kind and super friendly. I like their pizza very much, it is halal , for family and clean . I recommended this place highly .“

“This is the best for many reasons. The portions are gigantic for the lowest prices possible. Usually, this means you sacrifice flavor and quality... not here. Gypsy's does great meals at low prices and they give you a TON of food. Door Dash or in person, this place always hits. The cheese and Alfredo raviolis are my go-to and I love the bread they add on the side of every dish too. Gypsy's thank you for being here in the Southside! 10/10“

“Been going to Porky's Pizza since the late 60's“

“I was introduced to this restaurant by my other “foodie” friend Maria Vargas. I have been there about 4 times now. I appreciate the fresh pasta, the fresh veggies and the excellent service. Will be back again soon.“

“It was my first time coming to Lucca Deli, and I had a great experience. The sandwiches are delicious, and the quality of the ingredients really stands out. One of the workers, Biduri, was especially helpful. They took the time to explain all the different ways I could customize my sandwich and made the whole ordering process easy. The customer service was excellent, and I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Wonderful dinner experience with wonderful friends“

“Rigatoni’s has homemade Lasagna that is delicious. They have the Combo deal. For $20 you can have a smaller portion of your entree, a salad and a drink and all you can eat bread. You can pick from 3 different kinds of salads. The salad that has tomatoes and lettuce with croutons, or a Caesar’s salad or the mixed green salad which has dried cranberries, feta cheese and candied walnuts. The mixed green salad has become a favorite choice. There are additional food choices under the Combo deal. The atmosphere is nice and pleasant. It’s not noisy. The restaurant is nice and clean making the dining experience a pleasant one. You can also sign up with Toast Tab to earn points on your meals. Since the restaurant is inside a shopping center they have parking right in front of the restaurant. Sometimes if the parking in front of the restaurant is unavailable there is other parking spots close by to park your vehicle.“

“So good tried a classic & a square pizza Recommendation from our Genna server. Definitely be back soon.“

“ok so at first i didnt know this place was even a thing but the pizza we order was very good and there was code on our coupon and we used and it said we could get a free 2 liters bottle soda but we used it to knock down the price and so when we went to go pick up the pizza and we told the worker about the coupon and ect and they told us since we used the code to knock down the price if we wanted the bottle soda we would have to pay 5 bucks for it so we decided to leave the place and we arent coming back to this place“

“Great food and superb service. love the beef wellington!!“
