The front door situation kept getting left open so it was letting a lot of cold air in and people would stand in the way right next to the tables where people were eating thought that was something that needs to be worked on other than that, it was good thank you

Tonight, our server was rather slow though and didn’t check on the table to see if our food was good or even to refill water. Calamari Frittata is always consistent and the chicken parm was on point. They were out of veal last night though. The one let down was my affogato as the gelato had been pre servers in the coffee cup and put in the freezer, so when they added the espresso, it never melted the gelato making it hard to eat. And covering it up with whip cream is a crime. Our other dishes were good including the oso bucco and the risotto. Overall, we keep coming back as Arturo and Leonardo make it a welcome environment for all!

I really enjoyed the two meals I had - Fish of the day (I chose the Halibut), and it came with such yummy potatoes! I also had the Chicken parmesan, the right amount of seasoning and cheese, and it was very soft! Also the (non-alcoholic) cucumber sparkling drink! Oh! And that tiramisu was one of the best ones I've tried so far! The bartender, waiters, host, cooks, busser, and every staff member were so nice! And they even recognized us coming back. I want to come back here to try the pastas! Till next time and thank you for such a wonderful time. Appreciation from a family from Oakland, CA! :)
