The service was excellent, prompt, delicious and hot which was a plus. Overall, it's a very nice restaurant in American Canyon and definitely worth trying. I personally loved their eggplant parmigiana & the la strada pasta. Also, Monica was a pleasure to work with at the American Canyon location. Especially if you are planning an event, she was very helpful with menu options, pricing & going over event space, very easy to work with & very patient & professional. Highly recommend giving this place a try if ever you are in the area.

I've also visited a few times for a date night or a drink with friends. Foodwise, I'm a fan of the salad with shrimp and the meatballs.

I finally found an opportunity to go in person this week. I find the resto very accessible and casual, which is great for a quick bite. Conveniently located on the main street of San Pablo not far from the freeway, and has its own parking lot. You sit at a small counter while you watch them prepare the cheese wheel pasta right in front of you. Servings are generous, and the wine list is vast! Because I love the dish, and it's now to easy to get, I will be back!

Good neighborhood Italian restaurant in Pinole. Very convenient where I live…read more We tried this place a few times and always been satisfied with the food. My go to in this restaurant is seafood pasta, or anything with linguine. Sometimes I change it up to steak or grilled Filet Mignon. The price is decent and the service is good as well! Btw, they do have personal pizza as well to order. Margherita is the one I always ended up ordering no matter how much I tried getting something else. Lol! But for sure will get another pizza flavor next time!

When maps directed me to here, I was shocked. Stepped in there was 1 party so I said great its not busy.

Alan came around and handed us menus and since my little one is into chicken or country fried steak, its the first thing I asked him when he greeted us. Ordered the food and observed hes the only o ne cleaning tables, greeting, processing the online orders and waiting. Hes truly a star and is great at what he does. Food is fresh and delicious. Did not disappoint. Kudos to Alan

I wanted pancakes today... to absorb the overindulgence of cocktails the night before. (Oy!) I…read morereviewed yelp to find something close that maybe we hadn't tried, and I found Mely's with the amazing rating of 4.3 stars. We've lived in Hercules for over 30 years and are creatures of habit, so it was nice to venture the 10-minute drive to San Pablo. We were not impressed by the exterior strip mall building, but the interior of Mely's is very cute, homey, and clean. (I even peeked into the kitchen since the door was open.) I wanted pancakes, but got waffles instead since W ordered the blueberry buttermilk stack. We both had a side of eggs, his scrambled and mine sunny side up. The eggs were delish; mine in particular was perfectly cooked with slightly crunchy edges, a beautiful, silky, runny yolk, and no uncooked whites. The blueberry pancakes are so good! Of course they are huge and I ate some of them in addition to my waffle. We could have split just the pancakes and been perfectly happy. They cook berries inside the homemade batter and top them with a house-made blueberry compote. Maple syrup and soft butter on the side. The waffles are crispy outside with a light, airy, center, dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. I had strawberries on the side (+$5 !!). Since I ate some of W's pancakes, we took half the waffles home. W had a drip coffee--no decalf available so I had the fresh-squeezed OJ. It was a large glass so I took half of that home, too. The coffee was nothing to rave about, but it was coffee. Service was friendly and efficient--there is only one cook and one server, and it seems several of us arrived at the same time on this Sunday morning. Overall a wonderful find that we will return to so we can explore more dishes. We saw omelets and Benedict's come out that looked amazing! Plus, I want to try the dinner menu, which also looked pretty amazing.

Our favorite dishes were the Pasta Norcina, Cavoletti, Carbonara Sbagliata, and Marrcune ca vodka. Every time I've come here, the food quality and service have been consistent. We'll definitely be back!

Amazing food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Can't wait to come back!
