Biancoverde at Hotel Mac Restaurant

Get the meat lasagna. It's my favorite of all the places that serve lasagna. The homemade sauce is the key. Yum.

We had a delicious meal on Sunday evening. We were directed to a quiet booth and our waitress was very attentive. Both the food and wine were delicious, and the background piano and violin music (live) was a very welcome addition to our meal.

My wife was out of town for business and I thought I would take my thirteen year old son out for dinner, and I had been craving Italian food for some time. It's probably been 5 or 6 years since I had been to the Hotel Mac and I remembered it was always pretty good, so I spent a few minutes going over the Google reviews and thought let's try it. We started with the calimari which was quite good, then my son had the mussels which was different than he's had in the past, but he loved it, and I had the seafood risotto, now my dish was not what I would consider great, but then again I'm super picky about risotto, but the seafood was cooked to perfection. Now the dessert was spectacular! My son had the tiramisu which he always gets when it's available, and he told me it was the 2nd best he's ever had. I had the coconut pie and I thought it was incredible. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because it took waay too long to get service in the beginning. But I would definitely eat there again.

We love the food and the staff. Brought some out of town friends and they really enjoyed their time.

I have eaten here 4-5?times and each time the food was consistently good. The bar cocktails are also exceptional. The ambience is great and the staff are friendly and attentive.

We celebrated our anniversary tonight and everything was amazing. We shared a bruschetta appetizer which was delicious. We both had the Ribeye Steak and loved it. Super tender and good portions. Jose is always on top of everything and our favorite server.

My friend and I had lunch here on a Sunday before a play and the service and meal was wonderful. We started with the bruschetta and both had the scampi for our mains and ended with the toasted banana bread with gelato and an espresso martini. Highly recommend

Good solid Italian food at a great price. Lots of seating options. Noise level never makes listening to your fellow diners difficult. The place has lots of ambience. During this visit, the restaurant hosted opera singers singing live and ours was a wonderful night.

How much we miss the original Hotel Mac! That said, Biancoverde is a conveniently located place to get a decent meal. And some of the food is reasonably tasty. But as Italian restaurants go in the SF Bay Area, there's a lot that could be improved (and done so with not much effort). The single biggest disappointment is the absence of Italian bread. In its place is a sad attempt at Foccacia. I grew up in a Siciliano-Americano Brooklyn neighborhood where Foccacia was an art form. At Biancoverde, it's merely a cardboard attempt at saving money. Some main courses, like Veal Parmigiana, will keep us coming back (though convenient Point Richmond location remains the drawing card). But, for other standards like Calzone, I'd rather drive to Albany and enjoy that treat at Cugini's. FWIW, the wine list is alright but the signature cocktails are light on the booze and, if you like the description of what is promised in their ultimate Margarita, be prepared to shell out $44!!!

Love this old world place! Love the atmosphere, food, service. All of it!

The entire experience was memorable. The area is so quaint. Parking was easy. Loved the historic building that housed the hotel and restaurant. Ambiance, service, and the food all 5 star! I ate every morsel off my plate; the chicken parmigiana! Delicious! Thank you to the staff for keeping this gem alive.

This is the third time I have enjoyed a meal at Biancoverde. Each time, I have had a sublime experience. The food is amongst the best in the Bay Area. You can tell each dish is prepared with care and intention. The house made focaccia is amazing. The staff are so welcoming and attentive. The ambiance relaxed and lovely.

Pork belly sliders had processed ham in it as well. Totally unnecessary.
