30 Best Italian Restaurants near Union City

“While basking under the golden glow of the twin arches I started to ponder on what my 1st and last meal of the day would be. In a final act of desperation to avoid a maybe it's made of a pink paste meat meal I threw my lot in with a rando food near me search. Lo and behold Simply pasta pops up. And it was super close. As I walked in, I was greeted promptly, the lady was very courteous and helpful. My expectations were not high, but WoW, I was pleasantly surprised. My pasta was cooked perfectly. The spinach in my pasta wasn't just an afterthought. The garlic bread was done right. The soup of the day was like a corn chicken Chowder. Something I was shocked to know that I liked. My green apple drink might be my new addiction. Overall this place is a definite 4.7- 4.8. The meatballs in the pasta were so-so. Other than that I enjoyed my meal.“

“I’m always telling my friends about A-Town Pizza in Union City because it’s just that good! Every time I go, I know I’m getting fresh, hot, and delicious pizza. The crust is the perfect balance of crispy and soft, and they don’t skimp on the toppings. Whether you’re into classic pepperoni or something fully loaded, you really can’t go wrong.

But what really makes this place special is the owner, Green. He’s super down-to-earth and one of the kindest people you’ll meet. He genuinely cares about his customers, and you can tell he puts a lot of love into the food. It’s that kind of place where you feel like family, not just another customer.

On top of the great pizza, their wings and garlic bread are solid too. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the service is always on point.

If you haven’t been to A-Town Pizza, you’re seriously missing out. Give it a try—you won’t be disappointed!

“Even though they only had 1 cook the food came out fast.“

“Food was fantastic! Covid has hit all restaurants hard and La Stanza was new to Menlo Park opening in January 2020. The owner / chef has his Italian cuisine dialed. The cesar salad was dressed to perfection served on a chilled plate w/shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.. Delish! My short rib ravioli special was exactly what I was hoping for. Hand made in house pasta baked to perfection. My wife had the sacchettto vegi pasta pocket stuffed w/vegis . The red sauce had tremendous flavor... and perfect to mop up with the bread. 🤪... This place is a must try!“

“Great food, nice staff and Chianti says it all! Oh they have pizza yet you should not hold the image of pizzeria / pizza parlor that leans to the slice o’pie on the east coast. This is nice dining!“

“Todo delicioso y preparado al instante me fascino!!!“

“Great service. Great food“

“Everything on the menu is delicious. The lasagne is my favorite.“

“Solid 4. 75 Stars
We had such a memorable dining experience at Che Fico that we're already planning our next dinner date there.
This place is super trendy and popular with tons of positive vibes. I love the energy from the staff and smiles on their faces.
Dishes were delectable and well presented. Started wth a Caesar Salad. Fresh Romaine lettuce and a tangy dressing with Anchovies. Followed by the Focaccia loaf. Buttery and flaky to the last bite. The Octopus and potatoes were slathered in a lemon Aioli garlic sauce and cooked just perfect. My Chicken Parmesan was packed with flavor covered in a rich Marinara and melted cheese.
We finished with a sweet and crunchy Cannoli and Gelato/Sorbet Swirl.
Sat at the bar and had a couple drinks with our meal and had excellent service from the bartender. I highly recommend you make reservations a day or so before hand as this place is popular. The menu is a bit pricey, but your are served quality food and fantastic service in a cozy and modern restaurant.“

“We always enjoy dinner at Olive Garden. Recently we were here with a group of people and everyone liked the experience.
Breadsticks are always a good idea! We also had various Dips for the bread sticks. In appetizers we had Spinach Dip which was tasty and good quantities too.
Two of us shared an entre of Make your own Pasta. By the way, if you are planning to share it, it's better to tell them while ordering so they will bring it in separate plates.
Service was good even though it was a busy day. However out of 10, only 2 people were coming in another car and they were a few minutes late to the restaurant, others were all present but we still had to wait for them to get a table. So just a heads up for your reservations, that entire party should be present at the restaurant on time.“

“Great for large groups and families.“

“I ordered the make-your-own-pasta bowl with fettuccine and marinara sauce. The breadsticks were amazing and the pasta was pretty good. Our waitress was really nice and we got our soups in about 3 minutes. Even though they didn’t have fettuccine on their make-your-own-pasta bowl, she made sure I got it free of charge. The main course came about 5 minutes later. Overall it was a nice experience.“

“I was out with Triple T, and Eightball, not really bustin things up, but we weren't holding anything back either, and we ended up in Fremont of all places! Well, it not our fault because those pesky Oakland Pinkerton boys told us to get on the hwy going south and don't come back! Anyway..We found Strizzi's Italian Restaurant where we were welcomed like long lost family, and had an Amazing dinner. 5 ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Tastee Lasagne with Meat Sauce. Garlic Cheese bread was good as well. Hot Fresh Food made to Order. Nice Clean Dining Room. Customer Service with a 😊😁. Kind Knowledgeable Staff. Easy to Park. Easy to Find. Take Out Available. Reasonable Prices.“

“Staff was very friendly and I enjoyed the format for a simple and fast ordering.
Prices were reasonable with proper sized portions and the bread bar was simple option if you need a little more food with a simple meal.
The meat ravioli was amazing and the best I have had in Hayward and was perfectly complemented by the Cesar salad.“

“great food, great prices, great service. relaxed atmosphere. Been going there for as few years now & never had a bad meal.“

“Best italian food in Hayward, the food was cooked to order, the spaghetti did not taste bland, and the ribeye steak was very flavorful, the vegetables were very juicy… and we got a special surprise for my bf’s birthday!!!! definitely recommend for a date.“

“I have enjoyed each and every time I have visited. I have had a few dishes off the menu and they have been mouthwatering delights. Everything is fresh and they bring cheese and pepper to grind at the table. Very accommodating for a small to med size group. Staff is very responsive my bread nor my water glass were never empty. The owner is a very nice gentleman and has a lot of restaurant experience, remembered my name and what I usually drink.
Parking is ok, so give yourself a few minutes to get a good spot. The place is decorated in a vintage and reminds me of the places in the Bronx. Handicap seating is available and I would encourage making a reservation. Quiet place for lunch or dinner. Enjoy !!!“

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

“Delicious Italian deli serving sandwiches, appetizers, drinks, ready to heat dinners, Italian grocery items. The quality of food is very good and the staff is very friendly. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I would highly recommend this place.“

“the best chicken Caesar salad and garlic toast - love this Newark location and vibe!“

“Hands down, absolutely incredibly delicious!“

“My son (34 pizza connoisseur) and I went to this place to see what they have. What we found was a family pizza place with some of the best pizzas in the area. From a slice to King Kong, you can get whatever your budget can handle.
Look them up, go buy a slice, and test them out. You won't regret it. I'll be going here again.“

“Came here with my family and the food is absolutely amazing. Very authentic and amazing salsa. If the salsa is good you know the food Is good. The staff are very attentive and make sure your set while you enjoy your food. Best little family restaurant in the area!!“

“Mi fermo spesso da Cafe Borrone per un caffè e una brioche, ma non riesco a trovare il locale nell’app Coverflex: accettate i buoni pasto?“

“This is a well overdue review. My family and I came here a few weeks ago for some pizza to take home and grabbed a beer while we waited. Collin was the one who helped us. Amazing service & very knowledgeable. Our favorites were Purple Potato & Webbs Double Sausage pizzas. You’ve also gotta try their Bacon Arugula Salad…. Fire!“

“Great place for a nice dinner with your love. Patio & service is excellent 🎉“

“first time here - we loved it! excellent wine list“

“My husband and I were craving pizza. However, the places here in Castro Valley have been disappointing recently. We decided to give Villa Roma a try and see how we liked it. We loved it! We ordered a custom pizza and garden salad. Both were delicious. The garden salad was fresh, flavorful, and filled with a scrumptious variety of vegetables. We will be going back soon.“

“My partner and I were out on a bicycle ride on the bay trail and in search of a good lunch spot where we could sit outside. We came across this place and decided to give it a go. We were very pleased all around! We chose the “Veggie Gourmet pizza” and it was just what we’d were looking for! It was made with tons of fresh cut veggies (saw them cut fresh for our pizza) and a delicious mix of cheeses cooked just right. The pizza was super delicious!! Best pizza I’ve had in a while. The 14” was more than enough for the two of us and it’s very affordable. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our pizza and a couple cold Modelos at a cute little table outside beneath the shade of a large umbrella. We loved this place!

Parking: We were on bicycles but there was a parking lot with plenty of spaces.“
