When everything else was starting to close, this little oasis was still open…read more Dining Experience After a long day of doing the usual touristy things, we accidentally stumbled across Cucina Verona--and what a pleasant accident it was! It seemed like the whole town was closing down around 5 PM, which happened to be right when Cucina Verona was opening for dinner. We were looking for somewhere to eat and, more importantly, somewhere we could relax and unwind after a long day. The moment we walked in, you could feel the warmth of the room. Everyone was incredibly friendly and greeted us with genuine kindness. The service was wonderful, especially our server, Giovanni. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and personable. His service really matched the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant. We ordered quite a bit: Antipasti di Formaggio, Garlic Bread, a bowl of Minestrone, Wild Mushroom Risotto with added Salmon, the Surf and Turf (lobster and steak), and the Pizza la Carne, which we took home. Yes, that's a lot of food! Everything was prepared and presented beautifully, and the portions were exactly what we expected for what we ordered. More importantly, the food tasted as good as it looked--which, believe it or not, isn't always the case. My wife and I enjoy ordering a variety of dishes so we can experience different flavors throughout the meal. We usually end up taking quite a bit home because we rarely come close to finishing everything. This time, though, we ate almost everything at the table. The only exception was the pizza, which we intentionally ordered to take with us. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and Giovanni had a lot to do with that. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was excellent, and the food was both well-presented and delicious. I don't like to focus too much on pricing because there is a lot of context that goes into how restaurants price their meals. If that's an important consideration for you, I'd recommend checking out their menu online before visiting. For us, it was a great find, and I'd definitely recommend giving Cucina Verona a visit if you're in the area!

Uninspired, misleading menu w/ undertrained staff and overcooked food. Such a shame - came for the…read moreTuesday evening special dinner (family night) where the owner wrote a history of L'Aquila & food from the region, and then the dinner aligns with that. While a table was booked for 6:45 they didn't seat us til 7:!5. The waiter was awful - didn't introduce himself, didn't care about anything (other than maybe his girlfriend in the bar area), knew nothing about the L'Aquila tasting menu and provided no insights to the dishes, charged us $14/martini despite menu stating $8/drink. While the owner's write up and online menu included a dessert (Ferratelle Dolci), no dessert was offered or included at the actual dinner and the server said 'nope - no dessert'. This is so misleading and unexcusable when the promoted dinner menu includes it. Overall a disaster of a dinner - and sadly the food wasn't good either. The tomato starter was uninspired, the pasta cheese sauce hinted of Kraft or pre-packaed, and the lamb skewers were overcooked to the point of being almost jerky. Clearly an owner who spends more time writing his articles than he does training staff, providing food that matches the actual online menu, and ensuring some level of quality. So, can't recommend this place until substantial improvements are made.

After a day exploring the Northern California coast, we stopped at Piaci Pub and Pizzeria in Fort…read moreBragg for dinner. It turned out to be the perfect place to relax with pizza and beer on a sunny coastal afternoon. The beer list had plenty of great options, and the pizza arrived surprisingly fast. We went with a pepperoni pie, and the thin crust was exactly what we were hoping for. It was crispy around the edges with just the right amount of chew and plenty of perfectly crisped pepperoni cups. The atmosphere was laid back and welcoming, making it an easy place to linger after a day on the road. One important thing to know ahead of time is that Piaci is cash only, so come prepared. If you are passing through Fort Bragg and looking for a casual meal with good beer and solid pizza, Piaci is definitely worth the stop.

We also got the Sicilian pizza with sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese -- I loved the toppings, and it was very flavorful. All of that was delicious, but what took away from the experience was the crust, which felt too hard and not very chewy.

Here's a review ready to paste:…read more **5 stars** I can't point to one thing that was "the best" at HarborView Bistro & Bar, because everything was. The food was exquisite -- the crab ravioli and crab cakes were phenomenal appetizers, and my entrée, a fish stuffed with crab meat, was so good I'm still thinking about it. Every dish tasted fresh, and you could tell they're using quality ingredients. The service was excellent. Everyone on staff was friendly and genuinely talkative -- they even kept us updated on the 49ers score. And the setting was something else. We ate outside under the heaters with the fog rolling in over the canal by the harbor and the seals barking in the distance. The air had that slight coastal dampness to it, and it only made the evening feel more perfect. Honestly, I can't fully explain it -- it was just the perfect night. Fresh food, great people, unbeatable atmosphere. We'll be back. Want it shorter, or a different tone?

Go somewhere else if you are in Ft. Bragg.

Not busy on a Sunday evening we were sat at a table in the lounge/bar which was off to the side with a huge window. Pretty much immediately the waters were poured and french bread arrived, not many places starting with free bread these days. M ordered up a Mai Tai and I had a bottle of sparkling water. It took us a bit to go through the menu, I like to see if I can get a variety of items to add some excitement to the palate.... First up the chef's Clam Chowder, this version had some small dice vegetables, was a good medium thickness, and off white in color. Unfortunately the vegetables and diced potatoes made the clams and flavor secondary, in my opinion. That was followed up with six triangle shape won tons with a tasty mix of shrimp and sauce. Dungeness crab cakes were delivered and we each took one of the breaded and fried 3ounce or so cakes, plenty of crab and they were good. Ceviche was great and plenty of shrimps to enjoy with the house made tortilla chips. The Spinach salad hit the spot and finished our buffet of choices nicely. We took a slice of Lemon cheesecake back to the room for a treat later. The service was attentive, average. Everything was good but I didn't feel as though anything was outstanding. Thank you for the meal Martin-Foodguy

I loved how they make a good Asian x Mexican fusion and the examples are their signature coconut prawns and Thai burrito.

Turns out the burrito ingredients are mainly rice with basil and vege. The wet burrito was perfectly saucy. Welcoming service as well.

We ordered the Mayan dip, papatzul, and it was the highlight of our meal. My husband was astounded by the $15 price tag on a few ounces of dip surrounded by housemade tortilla chips that definitely could have come from a bag, ngl. It was pretty interesting and flavorful, but definitely was not good value. I ordered the Mayan tamales and was severely disappointed. Other than being wrapped in a banana leaf instead of a corn husk, this was your average to mediocre tamale. Also I ordered the rajas tamal, one with cheese and one with chicken. I guess I should have known that both are rajas, the chicken one just comes with a handful of (average) chicken tinga on top. My husband ordered the fried cod sandwich which was fine. We've never seen a slice of bread that large, but overall, it was a pretty basic sandwich. Good but not special. Overall, I would definitely skip this place. Try something better!
