9/22/26 TUESDAY 6:18PM PACIFIC STANDARD TIME -…read more Reservations were made on Open Table for 6:00PM - Party of four, we were quickly seated, and our waiter Jason, was introducing himself, before I had placed my napkin in my lap. He fetched us waters, and delivered menus. He took our drink order, all the while making us feel comfortable and welcomed with his friendly chatter. He and I bantering back and forth in Italian. Jason, reappeared with our drink orders and received our food wishes. Jason, was very knowledgeable and patiently answered our questions. When the evening ended, we were all in agreement. Jason was a 5 star server. Appetizers / Starters BURRATA CON PROSCIUTTO $19.00 - burrata | prosciutto di parma | arugula | grilled ciabatta | basil olive oil. Creamy and salty heaven with one member of our party claiming she could eat it all day. Main Dish TUESDAY PASTA TRIO $20.00 Ordered by 3 of our party, consisting of 3 different pastas on a long, white rectangle plate. At first glance it didn't appear like much food, but it actually turned out to be very filling. One pasta had a type of bacon, which while being different, was liked by all. Middle pasta came with a pesto sauce and shrimp, while the 3rd was a rigatoni noodle in a red meat sauce. NEW YORK STEAK $49.00 - 14oz New York steak | roasted root vegetables & Yukon gold potatoes. This was your writers choice and it was cooked perfectly. It did need some salt and pepper, but the potatoes were the bomb. Perfectly seasoned leaving me wishing there had been more. As were the carrots, but one of the vegetables left us wondering. Jicama? While being one of the most nutritious vegetables, it wasn't welcomed with this dish. All tasted it and none liked. DRINKS - 1 NIGRONI BIANC $16.00 1 CASAMIGOS REPOSADO $21.00 2 SHIRLEY TEMPLES 12.00 1 GINGER ALE 6.00. Personally, I think their alcohol and drink prices are way to much. Cocktails at home anyone, then dinner? Oh yeah, can't have Italian food without wine . . . Jason, at one point mentioned bread and next thing we new it landed on the table. Didn't know it would have a fancy label - CESTINO DEL PANE $4.00, and served with no butter! Seems like most places serve bread or have bread on the table when your seated, costing Il Fornaio a star. DESSERT - 1 TIRAMISU $14.00 - although having a pleasant aroma and texture, no one thought the serving size was worth the price. The serving also left us debating if it contained alcohol, which is in the recipe of any true Tiramisu. 1 Cannoli (4) 15.00 - flavor was good, quite tasty, but alas, the creme was surrounded by a hard, thick shell. We all agreed, should be 2/3rds creme, 1/3 shell. Il Fornaio is a large restaurant with a bustling, loud atmosphere. This leaves me believing you can find superior Italian food with better prices and perhaps a more romantic atmosphere elsewhere. This was my 4th visit and I probably will not return unless dragged along by the Duchess. I'll leave it to you to decide if it's worth visiting per this review. Chow . . .

Bonus for after dinner back at my hotel was the light and sweet tiramisu. If I lived local this would be my go-to.

It is a average, nothing exceptional. It is possible that I may give them a second chance, but it is not something that left a deep impression on me.Now, as a week has passed, I can hardly remember any food that I ate that I really loved, except for one appetizer. It has peach in it. I don't remember the specific name, but I'm sure anyone can find it on the menu since it's the only appetizer with peach in it. Other than that, one of their desserts is not bad. Those are the only two things I can remember, and I have to think really hard to recall even those.

Calamari Fritti - it was okay. The batter was super crispy but a bit on the harder end which is different from the usual delicate batter I've had at other places We were too full from our meal for dessert, but the owner came over with some almond biscotti on the house which was super sweet of him! Definitely would come back to try their other offerings. Such a homey restaurant with cool vibes.

I do love Slice House and consider it one of my top pizza options in the Bay Area. However I will…read moresay their pizzas are extremely inconsistent, so each time I come I don't know if I'm going to love it or be disappointed. We usually order 3 different slices, and each time they differ in quality. Sometimes one is overdone, one is underdone, and one might have too large of a crust (didn't sauce enough to the edge). Sometimes a slice will be cooked and done perfectly, and when it's done right we absolutely love it. Since they are inconsistent, I hesitate to buy a whole pizza. I don't know what quality I'm going to get.

Can I just say I am so glad Giorgio's is still in business!…read more Formerly Frankie, Johnnie, & Luigi's but always part of the Giorgio umbrella. Four locations total so you have NO excuse not to visit one! The first thought when I walked in? Memories. The Mtn View location is a lot smaller than the original restaurant, a handful of tables inside and a nice covered patio outside. But that music playing? Thats what brought back so many great memories here. That old Italian Crooner and ballads that reminded me of so many late night evenings back in the 90's. A late night go to when we were hungry and wanted a solid Italian restaurant. I decided that on this first visit back (it had been at least 4 years since my last visit) I'd try all the dishes I used to order. - Calamari lightly breaded with a side of tartar and cocktail sauce. Fried perfectly and my son finished the whole dish. - Sausage Bread the signature dish I could never forget. A meal within itself. Sausage and cheese rolled between soft pillows of dough. Comes with marinara sauce. This is THE dish you must try for sure! - Steamed Clams I ate this as my main meal. Clams in a light wine, lemony broth. You can also order a variation with tomato and herb sauce instead. - Spaghetti & Bolognese my son loved this. Simple & full of flavor. Its obvious they simmer their sauce for hours which shoes in their deep red pasta sauce. - Lasagna the sauce is a bit spicy so if you like spicy this is perfect for you. - Brownie A la Mode with or without nuts. Came with two huge slices and was bigger than we needed. But we did try to eat it! If you like cakey brownies this one will hit the spot. - Spumoni Gelato topped with whipped cream and a cherry. This was gone before I could even sneak a bite. - Aperol Spritz balanced and perfect for a warm day. Two will work! Parking was easy there is an outside lot right behind the restaurant and a parking garage a few steps away. Same friendly service, same family owned business. Exactly what I love! Kudos to our exceptional server Will such a polite young gentleman who knew the menu well, offered suggestions and was truly a gem!

We…read morestarted off with their calamari fritti which was great, liked how it came out with 2 sauces & lemon on the side. When our server mentioned the special, it sounded too good to pass up so I ordered that & had a slice of my husband's pizza that was loaded with kielbasa, pepperoni & bell peppers. The dough had good flavor, good crust & wasn't too thick. I thought they topped it too much so it was sort of flimsy. My pasta was delicious, plenty of shrimp, scallops & clams in a flavorful white wine sauce over fettuccine. The food came out nice & hot, we definitely had leftovers from the pizza & pasta. Our server was very attentive & friendly. There were a lot of guests dining outside, including us so he was busy but we didn't wait too long for anything. Will definitely be back & would highly recommend to those wanting to try a new Italian restaurant. The outdoor seating is cute and pretty spacious.

The focaccia bread and dipping sauce was very good to start. We also ordered the bruschetta trio. I hadn't read the menu clearly and they were large pieces of one with arugula, cherry tomatoes and an eggplant and onion bruschetta. I think if the bread was toasted better it would've been tastier. It is a bit difficult to eat as it is packed and wished the tomatoes were chopped up. I ordered the Carbonara Calabrese and never had carbonara with artichokes. It is a smaller portion for an Italian restaurant and unfortunately it was just okay. I really needed the crushed red pepper for more flavor. The guanciale had a bit too much fat for my liking. My friend had the gnocchi pomodoro and we thought the gnocchi was overcooked as it was quite mushy. Unfortunately I was disappointed as I had high hopes for this restaurant but have had much better.

The weather was good, so we sat in the back patio and it was so nice. I ordered the Dungeness crab fettuccine and it was really well made, but a little too salty for me (although I'm very sensitive to salt so it's probably not too salty for the average diner). My husband ordered the short ribs. He enjoyed his dish but wished there were some vegetables in it. My favorite part was the complimentary bread. So warm and delicious. We came for my husband's birthday, so they actually prepared a small piece of chocolate mousse cake with candle for him after our meal, which was a nice surprise! It was very good--not too sweet. Service was also excellent. Gratuity is already included into your bill, and they're kind enough to remind you of it when giving you the check.

The beet salad advertised as beet tartare with apples, walnuts and silky puree was a bed of greens with a small handful of 1" roughly chopped beets. No apple, no walnuts no chives as advertised. It was very disappointing. The serving for $20ish was a very tiny portion (a bread plate salad in a very large bowl). They did have the dressing on the side as requested. Moving on to the bruschetta. Three very small slices of French bread (imagine .25" slices off a 2" round loaf) overly baked to the point you can't cut it and it shatters when you bite in, topped with nice fresh tomatoes and a 1/8 tsp of olive purée left on top. No basil, no olive oil. It came out on a bread plate on a few pieces of arugula to keep it from sliding off the plate. That was $12. The side of asparagus - 5 spears - was quite good - perfectly cooked and seasoned for $6. It was the star of the show. I looked forward to warm rolls dropped off at the table. Ah fail again. They were rock hard - either under the heat lamp too long or over baked but they were dry and tasteless. They had an unnecessary heavy hand of fresh Parmesan on top that didn't stick so just left a trail on my clothes. Service was just off all night. Someone would come by and take a drink order from a couple of people at the table then disappear, not having taken the entire table's drink order. We were just left puzzled. We were in good spirits at our table but meh at best on the food and service. Value was poor, the ambiance lacking as the restaurant was crowded and loud. Parking is across the street at the Computer Museum - the restaurant's lot was full - so it was quite the sport to jaywalk at night across the fairly busy street at night. Not doing that again.

And it goes really well with the fresh bread they offered. The brown layers of the tiramisu it's the kind of cookie called ladyfingers and it should be soaked in espresso for the texture and flavor so the complains of the "wet and moist" reviews don't stand. This is just how traditional tiramisu is made and I absolutely loved it 1/1 star on the service. We came here to eat but their hospitality was so amazing we felt like folks coming home 0/1 for my cleanness fetish. The utensils and scotch glass seem pretty old and chewed up. I would polish them more or maybe replace them with new ones. Also there are small tiny fruit flies towards the end of dine. I killed 2 but 1 kept coming back and taunting me. Overall 3.5, I would lean towards 4 cause the food and overall experience is pretty awesome.
