    The food, as always, was outstanding, the cocktails stellar, the service, warm, friendly, prompt and responsive. You're always made to feel welcome and part of the family here. It was a delight to sit at the Chef's counter and watch the action, in particular the wonderful Jaime! The crab pasta we had Saturday night was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had, anywhere. We're so lucky to have Via del Corso in the Bay Area.

    Everything about Donato & Co was perfect from the lovely hostess who set a bright mood for our evening, to our thoughtful server Samuel, to Benjamin who was sweet and made sure to run our food to us on time. The food itself was super tasty and there were plenty of vegetarian options. We had Castelfranco (subbed vegetarian dressing); Scarpetta; Arancini; Tortino; and my favorite the Tortelloni. Overall, this place has top notch food and staff and I'm definitely going back next time I'm in town.

    Little Star had good food in generous portions. We had the Vegetarian thin crust pizza and the Little Star deep dish with sausage and roasted garlic. Both well made and delicious. My go to cocktail is the foxhound. Their mixed salad was great, full of walnuts and blue cheese. Look forward to our next visit.

    I lived in Italy for a year and three.one four’s pizza is the best I’ve ever had. The salad was amazing as well. Full bar/craft cocktails, great wine selection, and an incredible dessert menu. We’re already looking forward to returning to try some of their pastas and salads. We forgot that we were there during happy hour and were surprised at how reasonable our check was for such a memorable dining experience.
