1991 Santa Rita Rd Suite E, Pleasanton

“What a find! I had been trying a number of pizza places in town (after Papa Murphy's closed) and found some good pies, but nothing that was a keeper. I found my keeper. Ordered the Titania's Bounty and was delighted with the balance of cooked and fresh ingredients. The dough is unique and delicious. The owners are engaging and all so pleasant. They have earned my repeat business.”

Rubino Estates Winery 1188 Vineyard Ave, Pleasanton Wineries • $$
1188 Vineyard Ave, Pleasanton

“We were first introduced to Rubino wines on our wedding day in 2016, and finally had the opportunity to go wine tasting since we were back at the Palm Event Center for family portraits. We stopped by without a reservation. My husband and I shared a landmark flight. The tasting begins with a glass of sparking wine, and loved the refreshing start to our tasting. There is a deli in the front, with mostly charcuterie and cheese that you can grab yourself to be rung up by the cashier.They waive the $25 tasting fee if you purchase 2 bottles. We ended up bringing back a bottle of the sparkling, Landmark Sangiovese, and Landmark Barbera. There's also a small area in the back, if you're interested in hosting a private event. Kudos for allowing kids, so this mama can finally enjoy her wine! We'll be back soon!”

Truva Mediterranean Grill 4501 Hopyard Rd D3, Pleasanton Mediterranean • $$
4501 Hopyard Rd D3, Pleasanton

“First time here. Greeted at the door, given plenty of time to view the large menu. Ordered the vegetable plate (#17 on the menu) came with pita bread & a flat bread, both very good. Ordered #18, vegetable moussaka, on recommendation of cashier after we asked if the cheese was dairy-free as family member dining with us is lactose-intolerant and we were told yes, as it was vegan. When orders were ready, we thought the cheese on the moussaka looked far too much like dairy cheese, so we asked again if it was dairy-free and were told that no, it was cheese made from milk! This was disappointing because it looked really good and we were all hungry, but we would've ordered falafels for our uncle had we known that the moussaka contained cheese. Not sure if it was a language issue, as our family member had actually asked if it was vegan, just to avoid any issues later. He felt that they confused vegan with vegetarian, which makes sense. We weren't offered a refund on the moussaka, which was surprising as Truva is a pricey. We thought the appetizer plate was quite delicious, but certainly not enough for four people for lunch and we never expected that to be enough for our whole group in the first place. We will probably go again to give Truva a second chance as the food was yummy, and we felt very authentic compared to other Middle Eastern restaurants we've tried. Deducting a star since we didn't get a refund on a dish our uncle didn't (couldn't) eat. Parking lot on the premises is free for guests, but we had to wait a bit until someone left. Street parking is available, but tight during peak hours. Lovely outdoor space to eat, and even in cold weather, it was delightful and nicely decorated with real and plastic flowers and greenery.”

“Had early dinner and experience was great as usual. Spiro took time away from his manager position to serve us and was excellent as always. Had octopus and cauliflower appetizers which we love. Two people had the grouper special and two had the lavraki and were able to share dished. Both entrees were delicious. We had a complimentary dessert (Galaktoboureko) which was the perfect was to end the evening.”

“This place is fantastic. Great selection of wine and food, great ambiance, and exceptional service from Scott. We were there for our friend’s birthday and were craving dessert with our wine, which is the only thing they didn’t have (although he said they are working on getting it soon). He actually went to the local bakery (Primrose) and brought us back several dessert choices! 11/10 service, we can’t wait to come back. Was also really impressed with the value for my cab flight and my friend’s bubbly flight with very generous pours.”

四姐 Special Noodle 2693 Stoneridge Dr unit 103, Pleasanton Noodles • $$
2693 Stoneridge Dr unit 103, Pleasanton

“4+ Chinese cafe that seems to specialize in Northern Chinese dishes or noodle dishes and dumplings with some of the signature numbing spice that can be found on the menu. The vibe: located in a new strip mall in the East Pleasanton area that seems to focus on primarily Asian eateries. This place itself feels modern and very familiar to the San Gabriel Valley (SGV) area in Southern California if you are familiar. There's a big screen that splits time between the food items and this anime like character that dances, haha. It's a fun /sleek Asian centric spot. Came here with my brother's fam and I personally got the tomato egg mixed noodle. I had a lot of meat the day before, so was trying to cut back. The noodles and tomato/egg is a classic combo and thought it was very tasty. The pan fried and steamed soup dumplings were really good as well. My nephew was going to town on the soup dumplings. The service is solid. If I recall, you order through QR codes...something that I am getting more and more familiar with (like a lot of places in SGV - where I'm working at the moment. There's a lot of parking because there's a big lot which is normal for the area. I would say there can be times where it's super busy and lots of traffic going through. Definitely a great spot, especially in an area that previously didn't have spots like this.”

Lokanta Grill & Bar 443 Main St, Pleasanton Mediterranean • $$
443 Main St, Pleasanton

“Quasi-mediterranian food in an OK atmosphere. Most people think it's fairly good but I think it's average as the food is not as flavorful as small ethnically-run places - kinda flat. I think that chef lacks flair. I'm part Lebanese and I would like more depth of flavor - more savory. A bit on the noisy side typical of this kind of narrow layout.”

“Food is good, serving staff was great. We had appetizers and 2 glasses of wine. While our apps were tasty, and portions generous, I still thought pricing was too high. Lunches/Dinners range $25-35, even for Salad. Our 2 apps/wine + a dessert to go was over $90 (incld tip).Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options, but the added oils, etc deter from the ‘healthy’ aspect.”

“After having The BECK a few days, I had to come back to try the Pad Thai Fried Chicken. It didn't disappoint I like the fried breaded fried chicken sliced up placed on top of pad Thai. It's a very good and unique combination. However if I can suggest, I would like to try the basil garlic coated fried chicken with the pad Thai. I like the sweetness of the basic garlic chicken. Nonetheless the pad Thai fried chicken is a very good dish. I definitely will come back to try other dishes.”

“Oyo nails it with a unique blend of South American tapas and Caribbean flavors. Starting off with their caprinha, which was a perfect kick-off to the meal, to the Trinidad channa that was bursting with flavor, everything was spot on. The highlight, though, was definitely the ripe plantain pancake topped with marshmallow brulee - it was a showstopper.I highly recommend this for anyone exploring tapas and Caribbean food.”

“Excellent burger spot with lots of good options, and it's halal!My go to since discovering the place is the two minis combo, the crispy chicken and the Americano cheeseburger with (really good) fries and a drink. The crispy chicken is better than the rest, period, I said what I said. Give the Nashville spicy chicken one a try if you're feeling adventurous. The cheeseburger truly gives homemade with the tender beef cooked perfectly. There is nothing mini about these sandwiches but when you're cheating on your diet, the portion is guilt free.I appreciate the drink selection, especially since I'm not a soda fan. Service is extremely friendly whether I'm dining in or taking out. When dining in, space is clean with chill vibes, a great escape from the office.Dietary restrictions: Halal”

I ordered a brown sugar boba with oat milk with 0% sugar and 50% ice. The drink was delicious. The boba was chewy and fresh. You don't need the added sugar because the brown sugar boba is sweet enough. I will definitely come back.”
