“Service was great (friendly bartender and waiter... At least ours was; the waitress at the table next to us had a face like she just caught her boyfriend sleeping with her best friend... That or she hated her job, but our waiter was cool, calm, and helpful. Food was above average with great seasoning and flavor, and the drinks were good, but pricey for the size drink. Looks like a good, quiet place to go on a date (romantic, soft music, space between tables to say sexy things to each other without worrying about the table next to you listening in), but not the best place to hang out with friends unless you don't care everyone staring at you laughing like you were at an Improv Comedy Show but no one else thought the joke was funny. Still, I do recommend this place and would go back on a date.“

“My wife and I had dinner tonight at Patria.We enjoyed the food tremendously. The tomatosoup, Pork Chops and Ahi Tuna special were fantastic. One of the best meals we had in a long time. The service wasn’t great but nowadays I know it’s to be expected. We will be returning for sure.“

“Stopped by here on a trip and was very satisfied. The food was a really good portion and full of all the fixins (plenty of shrimp and sun-dried tomatoes in the Donatello). Service was quick and the pricing was reasonable. Didn't really have a place to sit (other than a couple of tables outside next to a giant parking lot) so we ended up taking our food elsewhere, but it was delicious and I'd definitely go back.“

“As an Italian, like all Italians who are typically very demanding with food, I can say that here you can find excellent dishes, with typical original recipes, without the classic "slip into American style", which most Italian restaurants in America have.The staff is very kind, thoughtful and available for suggestions, helping you with the choice of food.Absolutely recommended, if you want to try real Italian cuisine, with original products.“

“Great food, decent happy hour specials. Entrees are a lil pricey but large portions so it's worth it. About 17-24 bucks depending on what you order. The pizza, chicken Parm, and Alfredo pasta with chicken is yummy. Cool vibe, depends on the day but can be a bit noisy in the evenings. Overall good food if you like pizza or Italian. My hubby loves their sandwiches. Limited parking in front.“

“My experience here most recently on 12/03 Sunday to attend a Celebration of Life hosted for a family friend. While over there, it was also a 49ers VS Eagles game so the place already having lots of SF 49ers fans to support and cheer for their team. Amidst all our Hi and Hello to our friends and family, I unknowingly had left my sunglasses someplace on the delivery counter while grabbing plates or drinks and not realized it wasn't on me anymore. Party finished in a couple of hours for us and we left but lots of other people were still there till closing time. That was Sunday. Today is Wednesday evening and all through Monday, Tuesday, I kept looking for my sunglasses and kept thinking I could have left it here or there but never found it at any of my usual places i thought I had left them. My wife traced my events since Saturday the day before Sunday and all through today but couldn't nail it until she tracked it to the Sunday Noon when we were at Pizza Factory. She insisted that we place a call to Pizza Factory to see if it was left there and someone found it and turned it in to management. She called and spoke with a Crystal (not sure if I spelled correctly) and asked if someone found sunglasses left behind on Sunday. She confirmed and asked for Make And Color. My wife confirmed that it was my Sunglasses and told her we would be promptly over to pick them up. I went there got my sunglasses and thanked them but they didn't know who found it or turned it in. ***** The time I'm taking to give them a review is to highlight that even with a busy game day weekend and 3 days after, the honesty still prevails here for my sunglasses to be found without anyone giving it away or just taking it since someone left it. This Honesty here with the staff is just my personal reason but before this incident I've been here several times before as I live in the area and the Food and Beer here is amazing. Service is top notch and we have had Fund Raising Campaigns for Mayoral Candidates, School Cross Country Season End Parties and not to mention everything in-between. What I'm trying to say by this review is that my visits here do no justice to the place and it's people that work here. Go ahead and give them a try and you will not be disappointed. What Goes Around Comes Around and what is meant to be, nobody can change it or take it away from you. The sunglasses were a Father's Day Gift from my Daughter, Son and Wife and I will definitely cherish finding them back because of Pizza Factory and their wonderful staff. Oh my wife too for not giving up finding them. 10/10“

“The short girl with the thin black hair and the girl with dark brown hair with chunky blond highlights were extremly rude. I cant believe they are in customer service. We usually come in and have a nice time but those girls ruined it. Not sure if I will come back if they continue to work there. Its ashame because the food there was great. I loved the salad.“

“I've been here a couple times and I'm glad I found them. I think I saw them on a youtube video on "must see" places to check out. The first time we came w got the cheesy garlic bread which was very good and they didn't skimp on the cheese. The artichoke soup was amazing. It has a couple pieces of artichoke, cream based broth. I got the linguini and clams. They definitely don't skimp on the clams... you get our monies worth for sure. My mom got the chicken parm and kept having to stop herself from eating it all because she wanted to take some home to make a sandwich later.“
