- AAnneVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFrom before the meal through the end, our experience at new-to-us Creekwood was excellent. When we called to say we’d be late because of the weather and traffic, he was extremely gracious and accommodating. The meal was delicious, but an equal highlight was the service; our waiter cheerfully dealt with requests (lots) from our party of three, and our bus-person was lovely as well. THIS is what post-Covid dining should look like! We will return soon. Anne MarshallMore infoCreekwood RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Berkeley•4.6
- LLindaSan Francisco Bay Area •13 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe food was fantastic. The drink and the glass of red wine recommended by our server were impeccable. Our server was very attentive and helpful, with a happy demeanor, one of the best I can recall in many years. Grazie. Staff filled my request for seating away from the front door. We had a wonderful, festive time with friends, and we will return. Soon.More infodonato&co.Price: Expensive• Italian• Berkeley•4.5
- DDavidVIPWashington, D.C. Area •9 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoVia del Corso has become a favorite spot of ours over the past few years; first as we visited Berkeley, and now as we’ve become residents. One of our top choices when hosting out of town guests. The restaurant delivers a consistent dining experience with a menu reflecting the freshest of ingredients available. You will always find reliable standbys, such as Mary’s Chicken Breast, on the menu. In addition, a fine selection of house-made pastas, meat and fish entrees; not to mention vegetarian options. As we often do, my wife and I sat at the chef’s counter, allowing us to observe the meal preparation. Tonight we went with the swordfish entree, which was excellent. We never hesitate to quiz our server about their recommendations; they tend to be spot-on. It is refreshing to find a restaurant that has earned a reputation for treating their staff well; obvious by the very low turnover amongst the chefs and servers. We’ll return again and again!More infoVia del CorsoPrice: Moderate• Italian• Berkeley•4.9
