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.

They have both outdoor and indoor seating, so there are a lot of options, especially if you're with kids. We ordered a salad with arugula and goat cheese, which I enjoyed, although it felt a bit overpriced. 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.

There weren't a ton of options, so we landed on Bear's Pizza and figured we'd give it a shot. Honestly... I wish we would've kept looking. Ambiance: 2/10 I get that it's in an older town, but the place just felt kind of run down and not very inviting. Nothing about it made you want to sit and relax or enjoy your food. Service: 0/10 This was the worst part by far. No one greeted us when we walked in, and we even stood at the counter for a bit before having to ask if we could order. No friendliness, no basic customer service, just very cold and awkward. We both got the salad bar, and my friend also ordered garlic bread. We were already halfway through our salads when I went up to ask about it. The way they handled it was honestly wild. The woman at the counter and the guy by the oven just looked at each other like they completely forgot. Which, okay, mistakes happen. But there was zero apology or ownership. Instead, they started arguing with each other about whose fault it was while I was just standing there. Didn't acknowledge me again until they opened the oven and found the bread almost burnt. Then they offered to just scrape off the burnt part like that somehow made it better. My friend likes her bread a little crispier so she ended up taking it, but the whole situation was just uncomfortable and unprofessional. Food: 5/10 The salad bar actually had a decent variety, so I'll give them that. It was fine. The garlic bread was just okay. Overall this place left a bad taste in my mouth. Definitely would not recommend.

The place has a laid-back, hometown vibe--nothing fancy, just warm, busy, and welcoming. You can tell a lot of locals come here, which is always a good sign. I tried the chicken pesto pizza, and it really hit the spot. Plenty of flavor, good balance, and you can tell they don't skimp on ingredients. I also appreciated the salad bar--fresh, simple, and a nice touch considering how many places don't offer one anymore. It made for a great combo without feeling too heavy. It does get busy, especially around dinner time, so expect a little wait, but the staff kept things moving and stayed friendly even when the place was packed. Had to ask if we could sit in the "do not sit past this sign" area as the place was packed and needed somewhere to sit. All in all, Bear's is a solid pick for a casual meal in town. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in Fort Bragg.

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.

The food arrived with a very nice delivery guy BUT they didn't put any red pepper flakes or cheese in bag. (This pizza needed both, at minimum). We also got no utensils or napkins. If you are delivering food to a hotel you should assume they don't have a kitchen to grab these items. Had to walk to office to get forks to eat the spaghetti. The garlic bread was ok. Not amazing and not horrible. Just lacking a little flavor. The pizza tasted like a tomato sauce was used for sauce. I do this at home but I add Italian seasoning to give it pizza flavor and not tomato flavor. The pizza was just mediocre. The garlic spaghetti is a hard pass. The noodles were a little under cooked and it was dry. There was clumps of something but one bite was all I had. It needed more garlic, olive oil, salt...so there you have it. If you are in Ft.

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?
