“This is my favorite place to get a Cesar salad. It’s not your ordinary salad. I’ve been to other establishments and it tastes bland. However, the flavor of the dressing tastes here tastes so authentic. I always add chicken and it’s super filling! Also, get the mango Italian soda. So so good. That is both my takeout and dine in order! I am also a very big fan of their pastas!! I recommend this place to everyone.“
“This was a celebration of International Women's Day for a group of close neighbors, some of whom had not experienced Corso before. The hostess greeting was perfection, as was Vito, our server, Michael our expeditor, and the food was superb❣️ The perfect evening for gratitude to our Women!“
“First time I had Lucia's pizza was at their pop up at the Grand Lake farmers market in oakland, and completely fell in love with the 4 cheese pizza! Decided to try the restaurant a couple of months ago and the didn't disappoint! Pizza was delicious and staff were super nice and friendly! Totally recommend them if you're looking to have a legit Italian pizza experience!“
“Very delicious food! I would definitely recommend coming here anytime of the day. Their breakfast, lunch and dinner is amazing and they have a variety. The service is fast and the waiters and waitresses are very attentive. The location is a small hole in the wall. It's very delicious and would recommend to stop by and try!“
“My new favorite pizza place in Vallejo. The pizza I ordered was made with care and attention to details. The toppings were evenly distributed, the crust was perfect - not too thick, the cheese and the sauce were applied evenly covering the whole pizza. Great price, generous amount of toppings. I’ll definitely repeat.“
“Great people and even better food! The place isn't much on the outside but we've pick up once and had it delivered and both times did not disappoint. We love their bread and everything seems fresh and tasty. My hubs likes the Dutch Crunch and I like the regular French Roll. We will be back!“
“Wonderful place to have a cozy lunch with a friend, or a peaceful cup of tea and a snack on a rainy day, or a celebratory brunch with mimosas .The Cafe at the Inn has plants, flowers at every table, and multiple spacious airy rooms so you can choose which type of ambiance you want.The service is friendly and attentive- but not too attentive-and very fast. Order at the counter and then sit at a table to wait for your food, but it doesn't seem like one of those places. I wouldn't shy away from taking a date there because of that.Parking: Free parking spaces behind Inn“
“Date night with the lady and we decided on pizza. We did a quick search and found nothing but over priced greasy choices in our local area (Walnut Creek, Concord). We found four corners pizza n pasta and the pictures and reviews sounded good. We ordered the Papa Charlie’s pizza and a Caesar salad and it had exceeded our expectations. Home made Caesar and ranch dressing, fresh toppings, evenly spread, and crispy crust. You can tell they take pride in their food and it shows. Lots of open seating, great atmosphere and clean. We will be back to try the rest of the menu. This is my new favorite pizza spot and I highly recommend it.“
“Always a great time. This day, we ordered birria consome and pollo verde huarache. Not only were they delectable, we got to sit next to a big Mexican themed nativity scene with three Our Ladies of Guadalupe!! Everyone comes here, families, working ppl, the whole neighborhood. It's located in a quiet side street off the main strip.“
“I visited the restaurant before the renovation and, despite having a retro decor, wasn’t impressed by the food.This time around, under new ownership and renovation, I was pleasantly surprised. First, food was really good. Huge portions, homemade personalized cooking. I hope it stays the same way, there are a lot of seafood items I’d like to try. I got seafood risotto, it was really good; husband got a huge calzone and said it was amazing.Ambiance is lovely, live piano adds to the charm.Lastly, service was good. Will be back!“
“This is my all time favorite restaurant. I've been coming to the Casa since I was 21 years old, im 70ish now. Food is always great, never a bad one. Try to get there at lease once a week. The hostess are so wonderful, call you by name. All around the best!“

The staff is friendly and attentive, always making sure that my experience is top-notch. The cocktails are expertly crafted and delicious, and the food menu is also impressive. Whether I'm looking for a chill spot to relax after work or a fun night out with friends, La Starda never disappoints. I highly recommend this bar to anyone looking for a great night out.“
“Seeking fantastic southern Italian foods? This is the place! My 1st time here.. they had newly opened on a Friday, I came in on Saturday back in the 80's... I've been returning ever since. The meatballs are Off the Hook! For sure You will find something you like! No disappointments here!“
“Vegetarian options: I had the Mount Etna salad and it was one of the best salads I've ever had! Really colourful with interesting textures and flavours, and warm ingredients were welcome on a cold rainy day! There were lots of other vegetarian options that looked tempting too.“
“Excellent pizza, cute atmosphere, and good service. The Neopolitan pizza (i.e., The Benchmark) was excellent as was the caesar salad. Been here twice — the first time the pizza crust was a bit hard, so I wish they would make it fluffier Italian-style, but the second time it was more on-point. Would go again!“
“We came here for a business lunch, we had reservations at 11:30am. They were quick & easy to make online. It just opened, so it wasn't too busy, but you can see they get packed closer to 12-1230pm. We sat right at the window table. The view was amazing. The service since we walked in was great. Everyone smiled & greeted us. The waitress was great at her job. I really wish I had remembered her name. She interacted with the table, and it was a pleasure to have her serve us. The bussers made sure our plates were cleared & were on top of refilling drinks.We had the prawns & Bruschetta bread as appetizers, delicious! We had the special, which I believe was a spinach noodle w/sausage, mushrooms & tomatoes. It was really good too! Overall, I would definitely visit again!“

“We did take out of a pie - large - and haven’t eaten it yet. Very soon! We took a chance with the online number guess and lost. Our consolation price was a free large salad - Yay. Because the place is so new the manager didn’t know about the salad offer but as soon as he read my offer on my phone he had staff make up a beautiful salad for us to take home. Nice customer service.“
“Gypsy's Trattoria Italiana at UC Berkeley is a total win! Always hit them up for their lasagna or Godfather pasta - never disappoints. Fresh, fast, and oh-so-good. Bummed they stopped Uber Eats to my area, but still worth the trip. Also, check out the pool hall across the street. Solid gold!“
“The BEST pizza ever!!! Crust, toppings, seasoned oven.Oh, and the MINESTRONE!!! I aspire to make a vegan soup as delicious.Service is EXCELLENT!!!Lovely friendly atmosphere.Hometown is the word to describe the whole real deal.Vegetarian options: Pizza...choose toppings, which are many... also other vegetarian options. Minestrone is vegan.“
“This restaurant is a gem. If you sit by a window in the bar or dining area, you'll have an lovely view of the Bay at the Richmond Marina. A convivial atmosphere. The owner, Lara, is usually present, and may sing an aria if she stops at your table. A mostly Italian menu, the food is always great. In addition to crab Louis, I had one of the best cooked T-bone steaks I've ever tasted.“
“Incredible service with authentic Italian dishes. I shared the prosciutto appetizer with my eight year old daughter, who until now ate store-bought prosciutto. She actually noticed it was better, and commented on how the tomatoes and cucumber and fresh mozzarella made the perfect bite.My chicken piccata was the best I've had outside of Italy. Her Bolognese was fantastic, and she ate so much she regretted it!Service was excellent; friendly staff, great starter bread, and an overall atmosphere as completely casual with elevated food and service!“
“Hello, I am a traveler of Argentine - Italian nationality.I came across this very particular place.A cozy restaurant with a very pleasant atmosphere.Its owner and chef Ramiro was very kind and welcoming to me and my wife.They let us choose our table as we liked.As soon as we sat down they brought us water with lemon and hot bread with Eggplant Caponata (amazing )We then tried a Calamari appetizer (abundant and tender) and then Fettuccine Alfredo and Salmon Dill (5⭐️)The food is prepared at the moment and in front of the customers.Each main dish comes with a soup or salad (you can add protein or different types of salad for a fee).Both the waiter and the assistant were very attentive and friendly.RECOMMENDATION!!This is NOT your average American restaurant.You should arrive prepared to have the experience of a European restaurant, where one goes to enjoy, relax and eat delicious food.The attention is personalized, so it takes time.Patience and understanding where one went to eat is important.Thank you so much.We will return, without a doubt!“
“I tried pizza from here for the third time today, and This is the best pizza I have ever had. I think they have a different kind of pizza sauce or cheese which makes the pizza that delicious. First, two time it was cheese pizza only, and it tested great! I ordered their special pizzas for my daughter's birthday party, no any complaints at all, it was delivered on time and the food was fresh and yummy! My favorite pizza place from now.“
“A Birthday Celebration to RememberI recently celebrated my girlfriend's birthday at Passione Emporio, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, it was evident that this restaurant knows how to make special occasions truly memorable.The food was simply amazing, and the service exceeded our expectations. Our server was not only attentive but also took the time to explain each dish with great detail, enhancing our overall dining experience. We opted for the trilogia and the pork belly, and both dishes were nothing short of perfection. The flavors were rich, and the presentation was impeccable.The dessert menu offered a tempting array of options, and we decided to indulge in the tiramisu and profiteroles. Each bite was a delight, showcasing the skill and expertise of the kitchen. It's evident that Passione Emporio takes pride in offering a diverse and delectable selection of desserts.To complement our meal, we explored the extensive wine list. The variety was impressive, and what stood out was the honest pricing. Passione Emporio offers a wide range of wines that cater to different preferences without breaking the bank.Overall, our evening at Passione Emporio was a delightful celebration. The combination of fantastic food, attentive service, and a well-curated wine list made it an experience we won't soon forget. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy an exquisite meal, Passione Emporio is the perfect choice. Five stars without a doubt!“
“I had first tried Little Star pizza during one of my lectures at CAL. I took the left overs to my husband and we both agreed that this is the best deep dish pizza in the Bay Area. We decided to dine in recently and felt a bit off that we had gotten seated in a distance while other customers were seated closely near the bar. Although the food is great, my husband, who has worked in restaurants before, can agree that for the time we dined in (which was slow) we had alright customer service.“
“It is music to my palate, when you come to Zarri’s and find in the simplicity of a local store , the quality that fully satisfies you. I had an amazing Tuna Melt with Fontina. The texture contrast between the bread and the contents was superb. The tuna contents where full of flavor!And In addition the person I was with, had a Lettuce Wrap, that could be considered a Keto nugget -Double Pastrami ( made in house), Provolone and Avocado.We felt at home and nourished .I am great full for places like Zarri’s, real people, real food and delicious!“
“They were 5 stars pre-COVID, but they went down during the "world tour". This is through no fault of their own. Getting quality ingredients was tough.It's greatly improved and they're working their way back up to the five star rating.Love the calzones and the pizza-definitely not missing the pools of fat from a 2022 pizza. The lasagna and ravioli don't have the five star flavor they used to have, yet. I don't miss the prepacked salads in the styrofoam cups.I can't wait until they're fully back at 5 stars! Keep it up!“
“Think of a place that always makes you happy. Shhhh. Don't tell anyone our secret. It's our close-by under-rated go-to Italian bistro that's always glad we're there, for ritual unwinding on Friday nights over food and wine with a staff that gets our affection for the comforts they bring, certain that we won't be disappointed with anything. Expensive? Not. Behind that modest storefront is an intimate atmosphere, service as near to perfect as I know and that Italian cooking like mama's home made. The cook/chef is a real pro. I haven't had everything on the nicely-balanced menu but what treats I've had. Properly prepared and completely satisfying. They have a short list of moderately priced wines and good selections by the glass, the most expensive under $10. It's not a place I would go for a cocktail unless I'm sitting at the bar watching basketball. I'd like to see one or two different desserts and maybe a different table bread. And that's it. Can't wait for Friday night to roll around.“
