A solid Italian spot with great happy hour deals on drinks, though the food discounts come with noticeably smaller portions. * Penne Pasta with Red Sauce ($22.00 - $24.00) - 4 stars: The kids and I absolutely loved this red sauce pasta! The penne was cooked perfectly al dente. * Kids' Menu & Spaghetti with Meatballs - 4.5 stars: The kids' menu here is fantastic! We ordered the kids' spaghetti, which came topped with 4 huge meatballs--it was a massive hit with the children. * Gnocchi ($23.00) - 3.5 stars: The gnocchi with white cream sauce was way too heavy and overly creamy for my taste. * Hot Honey Pizza ($23.00) - 5 stars: The wood-fired pizzas here are always a massive hit, and the hot honey pizza was no exception! * Il Polpo / Seared Octopus Appetizer ($19.00): Seared Mediterranean octopus served on arugula with garbanzo bean purée. It was on the smaller side, but very tasty--most of their salads and small plates follow this same small-portion trend. read more

I randomly went to Doppio zero for dinner yesterday and would say I had a pleasant experience. I was immediately seated by the hostess, who was super kind enough to allow me to select where I wanted to seats and kindly turned on the heater for me. Shortly after I was helped by my waitress who was super kind and helpful, and helping me choose what menu items to select, and also shared that they could make a small chicken breast for my dog. Overall, the service was fabulous, as for the food, I wasn't super impressed. Now, I'm not saying it was terrible, but I imagined it would be much tastier. I ended up getting their fettuccine special, which was recommended by the waitress because it was part of their rotating menu, meaning it would be unclear when this menu item would come back onto the menu again. The reason why I say the fettuccine was not that special, was because I felt that it lacked sauce, my noodles were constantly sticking to each other and breaking apart. But outside of that, the hibiscus drink was great and the service was great, I would probably come back and try something else outside of their pastas. read more

unfortunately had a mediocre experience here. We ate the pizza, the ravioli, the salad, wine, etc. All of it average. There is no room for another average restaurant in San Carlos. The service was very good. Parking as usual is a nightmare. There have been a long chain of restaurants that have come and gone in this location. Not sure what this one has to offer.

I surprisingly really enjoyed our meal here. I've been to the SF location before, but honestly couldn't remember whether I liked it or not. My husband and I were in downtown San Carlos for date night and while we didn't originally plan to eat here, we ended up stopping in and I'm glad we did. It helped that it wasn't too busy, but still a good amount of tables were taken. We started with the cauliflower appetizer and it was better than expected. At first, I wished it were a little crispier, but I realized some pieces were cooked better than others (would prefer if all pieces were crispy!). It was one of those dishes that got better the more I ate it and I think I enjoyed it so much because of the sauce it came with. For our mains, we ordered the fettuccine oxtail or short rib?? pasta and the Doppio pizza and both were solid. It's been hard finding good pizza and pasta around here so I'm glad we found a nearby spot for Italian food! read more

I've been to Dippio Zero in Campbell before, I love their pizzas, calamari and cocktails! This was my first time in this San Carlos location. I know was was late as we were seated this particular Friday night, but the waitress we had was basically missing! Hee. We had to ask for more water from the guy bussing the table and then once we got our food from that food runner, he was more helpful in getting us our bill and a box. I'm guessing our waitress was trying to close out her till or cleaning up in the back, but the 19 year old college student helped us more than she did! I really need to start carrying cash on me, because I would've tipped him $5-10 for all the help we got from him versus tipping her..... ugh. That young gentleman will make it as a server! He was very apologetic, had a great smile and he spoke Spanish too. Knowing multiple languages is always a plus, especially around Silicon Valley! I wouldn't mind trying this place again, the margarita pizza and truffle fries we had were decent, along with my girls Tequila espresso martini and my Wine, but service was definitely lacking! read more

Finally got to trying this place! The location is fantastic and they have great indoor and outdoor seating! Inside is decorated very well and has different seating areas/types. The menu has a good number of options for everyone and prices are pretty fair for the experience/food. Service was good (nothing notable). Wait times were average (except they ran out of bread so that came after our entrees haha). The fried articles were surprisingly so yummy! They were crispy, soft, and flavorful. My pasta was amazing. The sauce was flavorful and there was so much seafood! The pizza was average...it needed more oven time cause the bottom was a bit soggy and light-colored. So that was a bit disappointing! We'll probably come back and try the pizza again (and I'll update my review)! read more

Located in San Carlos downtown, parking is plentiful but busy. Ambiance is not too busy. We had a group of 20 which by far were the largest and loudest...oops. The servers were kind and efficient. There were also a lot of available tables given a Sunday afternoon. Figs & prosciutto (4/5): so yummy. The prosciutto was salty but the figs and burrata helped balance the flavor. The dog was also very fluffy and soft even though it was thin. Overall, Doppio zero has some delicious pizza. Service is spectacular as waiters check in and fill waters as needed. Additionally I want to point out that they messed up one of our orders by giving it to the wrong person. However they rectified it by making a replacement order free of charge. read more

Boyfriend and I were in Redwood City looking for something to eat but couldn't find parking so we went here. Still a little hard to find parking in this area but eventually did find one. It is hard to get a table here without a reservation but luckily, they had first come first serve bar seating so we did not wait long at all. If you do have a big party, I suggest making a reservation. The inside is beautifully decorated and great for date night or group outing. They had outdoor street seating and big inside area. The bar was spacious and long splitting the restaurant in half. I believe I saw a spacious area in the back where you can have a big party. We ordered the hot honey pizza (only a daily special item), fettuccine short ribs, and Brussel sprouts. Everything was super tasty. My favorite was the fettuccine short rib and it had good ratio short ribs to fettuccine. I didn't run out of short ribs which was a great sign. Some places give you very little protein with your pasta but not this one. Brussel sprouts were crispy and not soggy at all. 10/10 would come back again. read more

I had such a wonderful experience here! I arrived close to closing, but Humberto still warmly welcomed me, invited me to sit at the bar, and never once made me feel rushed. Humberto recommended a beautiful glass of Cabernet along with the chef's special: a lightly fried chicken breast served with fresh arugula and tomatoes. It was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and one of the best meals I've had while visiting the Bay Area. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Humberto and Melani were both so friendly, attentive, and genuinely made me feel at home. The ambiance was perfect, clean, comfortable, and inviting. The restaurant is located on a great walkable strip filled with other restaurants and bars, and I appreciated that the area felt safe and had plenty of convenient parking. I was on my way from San Jose to San Francisco airport and happened to find this hidden gem by chance. I'm so glad I did! I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in the Bay Area. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped by Doppio zero in San Carlos the other night for a late dinner and overall had a great time. We got sat promptly and even though it was busy we didn't have to have long for our server (Christan) to come over and greet us which was fantastic. We started with the nectarine salad and the burrata and prosciutto. Both were super fresh and crisp. Great way to start the meal. They have a great bar selection and wine selection I went with a sparkling rose which definitely complimented the appetizers. I then got the wild boar pasta subbed the fettuccine for a gluten-free penne. I love that they have the option to sub for a gluten free pasta it makes it so I have many more options to choose from for entrees. My dish had such deep rich flavors I would definitely come back just for that. My mother and sister decided to split one of the wood fire pizzas the formagio and sage. Both said it had the perfect crunch on the crust and flavor was nice. One highlight is that our server Christan was fabulous he was always readily available and he made sure we had new clean share plates and personal silverware between courses. Only low lights would be the acoustics inside. The restaurant are not very good. You will have a very hard time hearing each other unless you sit outside. Another addition would be giving serving utensils along with personal silverware when sharing dishes. Other then that we had a great night and I hope to be back again read more

This has become a place we go to every time we're in the area. This time we had: 1. Bread and oil/vinegar. The first basket is free, then they charge $2.50 for each additional basket. The bread is pretty good--baked in house daily, they say. 2. Fave e Cavolo, $15. Very good! Tuscan kale with shaved parmiggiano reggiano on fava puree. 3. Cauliflower, $15. Lightly battered and fried cauliflower florets, parmiggiano reggiano, Calabrian chili aioli, fried basil. Pretty good! Not overly battered or oily. 4. Il Polpo, $19. Octopus, arugula, cherry tomatoes, garbanzo bean puree, arugula. I only had the salad portion, but it was very good! My dining companions enjoyed the octopus. 5. Nectarine salad, $15. Excellent, as always! Still one of the best (or the best) salads I've had. I have to order this every time I come. It is somewhat sizable, so could easily be shared between 2-3 people unless you want to make this the bulk of your meal. 6. Spaghetti Pescatore, $26. Pretty good! Slightly spicy tomato sauce, calamari rings, octopus slices. 7. Pulcinella Pizza, $23. Very good/excellent! Probably my favorite pizza here (Margherita is also very good). Tender chunks of eggplant, mozzarella, tomato sauce, little bit of pesto here and there, and some shreds of ricotta salata. 8. Tiramisu, $10. A cup of creamy tiramisu. Nice espresso flavor, but I would have liked more ladyfingers in proportion to the amount of creamy filling/topping. 9. Limoncello cake, $14. Sicilian lemon sponge cake, mascarpone, white chocolate curls, and berries. Excellent! Probably my favorite dessert here. Good balance of sweet, fruity, creamy, tangy. 10. Mango sorbet. Excellent! 11. Cannolo. Excellent, although I'm not really a cannolo person and so didn't love it for myself. This was an excellent cannolo, though! 12. Tartufo (I think) Chocolate/hazelnut ice cream. Very good! 13. Truffle fries, $12. Very good! Overall, my favorite things were the Pulcinella pizza, nectarine salad, and the limoncello cake. Those three alone would be a perfect meal for me. read more

Very happy with our dinner. Didn't want to cook, decided pizza, but somewhere new - wow a reasonable price for two pizzas - I ordered the doppio zero pizza and husband ordered the salciccia - we shared them and still only ate the equivalent to f 1 pizza - really was looking forward to cold pizza for breakfast, but son found it when he got home and snarfed it right down. The flavors are each so good, from the prosciutto to the buffalo to the olives - the only downside was that it was a little salty - but what would I change to make it less so? No idea. This place is a chain, I didn't know that. Pretty good, I'm glad I didn't know because I probably wouldn't have ordered. Oh it came by DoorDash and was still hot! read more

Food was ok but service was nonexistent. From the moment we walked in, we waited for the hostess to get off the phone. When he finally acknowledged we were there, he disappeared I guess to check on the table and we waited longer...so long another server came by and asked if we needed help? Our res was 4:30pm so didn't expect to even have to wait. We were seated in the back, we had several small kids and I asked about where to park the stroller and was met with some ridiculous comment how it was "the size of a car" or something we ended up tucking the stroller in the back. San Carlos is very family-oriented so good luck with that attitude! Server came by, forgot my drink, we ordered two pizzas and a salad to start. Food came fast. The sausage pizza was good, the margarita one was ok, the mushroom was probably one of the more filling and flavorful ones. The short rib ragu was simple. Salad was ok. I wasn't blown away by any of the dishes but literally had to flag down the maitre d and servers every time we needed water, utensils, more food. It was comical. I actually apologized because I felt like I kept bugging them. Overall, I was disappointed in the service. Food was ok. I'm not sure I would go back. read more

The restaurant seemed uninterested in providing good service. It took a long time to bring water and take our order. The kale salad was bland, and the pizza was soggy. When we mentioned it, the server said, "It must be the tomato paste," but didn't offer any solution. Overall, it was overpriced for the quality of the food and service. read more

Food was okay. Just meh. Not amazing. Service was ok. No complaints with service. The music playing outside did not go with the ambiance. Played punk or scream-o type. Weird.

The food is really very good but I've come here several times and only once have I not had someone be rude. I think the workers are stressed as it's clearly a popular place with a demanding workload but the fact it's happened multiple times (workers being rude over the phone, in person etc), it's starting to feel like a pattern. You probably won't have the same experience as me and overall I'd still recommend, but had to mention. read more

Went to dinner on a busy Thursday night. We got seated right away but had to wait for the server to take our order. The potato croquette and Marachiaro (squid ink pasta) was good.

Food - I thought it was great. Pizza was delicious. The branzino was good. Salad and broccolini were delicious. Wine was good and a generous pour. Service - they were on top of it, and everybody was Italian, which made it feel like you might actually be somewhere in Italy! Ambience - this is where they fell down for me. At these prices, and with this level of quality of food and service, it just felt sort of like being in a cafeteria to me. And we were placed at a table which was super awkward, kind of partly next to a wall, partly not, and one of the waiters for a big table behind us literally bumped into my chair every time he walked by, which was super annoying. They have cheesy plastic cards on the table with a QR code that you're supposed to look at for something... I'm not sure what as they actually hand you a real menu. Tacky. All in all, I'd go back though because the food was really good. Maybe try sitting outside and see how the outside patio feels. read more

4.5 for sure! Pizza was so good! 5 stars. A pizza is a must. Their prices are the 4 stars. They are a bit too high, to me. Beet appetizer was good. Our waitress was 5 star+. She was great! The host maybe owner, was pleasant enough, did his best. Place inside is clean & nice looking. If you try this place out, have their pizza. Their dough is off the chart good! read more

We have been to Doppio Zero a few time over the years and have enjoyed the food and the service. The interior is still nice after many years. However, the restrooms are showing their age. It would be a good idea to fix them up a bit. There is a storage area next to the restrooms where the curtains were left open and the impression it made was not in line with the nice dining area. Also, had an issue with some fruit flies buzzing around my cocktail on my last visit. One of the flies landed in the drink, and our server was nice enough to replace it. On our last visit, we liked the squid ink pasta and the potato croquettes. The Rusty Nail was good. We also ordered a couple of pizzas: the sausage with hot honey, and the Margherita. I thought the pizzas were ok, but I felt the wow factor was missing. Not sure if something has changed. I have had great pizzas here before, so I will give it another shot. read more

Came in on a Thursday night and had a great evening with delicious food. I don't usually have Italian cuisine but I was in the mood for it, and I'm so glad I gave this place a shot. To me the star of the show is their pizzas; there's a variety of options and they're each made very well. The pizza had a good snap and thin crust- made it addictive; burrata cheese was creamy and the pistachios were a great addition on the mortadella pizza for added texture. Thursday night still had a decent amount of people so it's a little noisy but I could walk in and get a table no problem. Service was super friendly and my waiter patiently and eagerly explained the menu items to us. read more

Ambiance is fantastic- I'd go back simply for the light and breezy feel of the place. I took my parents for their anniversary lunch and it was a wonderful experience. I really appreciate the two clearly labeled vegan entrees- ravioli and pizza. Couple areas of improvement- while the broccolini and fries starters were amazing, the vegan entrees were quite bland. Definitely could use more flavor- that being said, I got some Calabrian chilies on the side and that really brightened up the dish. Secondly, I wonder what was going on with the service because the restaurant was only maybe 20% full but service was slow, forgetful, and lacked attention to details. We ordered a second glass of wine and it never came and we ignored it, but it was on the bill. I pointed it out and they were super apologetic and said they'd take it off, but when they ran my card it was the same wrong amount. It then took them another 20 minutes to figure out their system and fix it. I'd come back- the servers were very nice and I'd honestly give the benefit of the doubt that maybe today was just weird. read more

Beautiful inside and out -- this is the kind of place that works for everything from a casual brunch to a fancy romantic dinner. Definitely a spot you can dress up for if you want to. The space is huge, with plenty of indoor seating and a large, dog-friendly outdoor patio. Their squid ink pasta seems to be a favorite here, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. I also loved that they offer a nice variety of mocktails for non-alcoholic folks like me. And yes -- everything here is super Instagrammable, which is always a bonus. The service was very attentive. Overall, it's one of those "can't go wrong" spots in San Carlos -- perfect for all-day meals or even just as a meeting place. I'll be back for late afternoon small bites next time I'm in the area. Perfect for: anything from brunch with friends to a romantic date night -- versatile, stylish, and welcoming. read more

Came here on a weekday with family few weeks ago. I also came here last year one time but never had the chance to write a review till now. Parking was easy to find on the streets. We got seated indoors since it was pretty hot that day. We got here right around opening too so barely any customers which was nice. (I'm sure they are super busy at night though) What we ordered: Nectarine salad: So delicious and refreshing to eat on a hot summer day. I am a huge arugula leaf fan so I was excited to try this and it was soooo good. Def a must order! Figs pizza: Mhmm figs + prosciutto! It can't get any better than that. Soooooo good!! Lots of flavor and makes my mouth watery every time I see a photo of it. Overall service & food was great. The waiters came by to check on us, fill our water cups etc. Definitely will be back again soon! read more

delicious modern italian spot! perfect for date night or a nice occasion. i went with a large group for a corporate lunch and while the food was awesome, the wait was not. we waited over an hour for just the drinks to arrive and even longer for the food. we only had one server for a group of 30+, and the long wait times were unfortunate for our midday lunch. the lasagna was hearty and well seasoned. the salmon was also well cooked and delicious. the appetizers (brussel sprouts with bacon and arugula salad) were all phenomenal. lastly, the mocktails were beautiful and tasty! overall, i would give doppio zero another chance with a normal sized group! ps: the floors were super slippery, it seemed like they had been just cleaned or waxed -- i was slipping all over the place and had to be super careful when walking around! read more

Updating my review: After months of trying to resolve this issue directly, I eventually reached out to NBC Bay Area's consumer team. Shortly after that, Doppio Zero refunded a portion of the disputed fees. While I appreciate receiving a partial refund, it came nearly two months after the event and only after outside media involvement. The timing made it difficult not to feel that the refund occurred only because the situation had been escalated. Based on my experience, I would recommend getting all pricing, fees, guest counts, and event terms in writing before booking. Unfortunately, the way this situation was handled has left me without confidence in the business, and I would not choose to host another event there in the future. read more

We came on a saturday night and it was pretty lively. The staff was very attentive and welcoming as soon as we came in. Our waitress was extremely sweet and had great recommendations.

The pasta was al dente just how I like it and the short ribs gave it that wow factor and it just melted in your mouth. The drinks were good as well! The drink I got had a consistency that reminded me of orange juice but it was still balanced well with flavor read more

Another fantastic Italian choice in the Bay Area. This is my third time here, but my first review. If you go, please start slow, take your time, and enjoy some wine and appetizers. Start with some olives and the fried artichoke. It's a Roman specialty and Dopio Zero does it well. Tonight my group had the gnocchi, fettuccini with short rib sauce, and a pizza -- all were spot on. I know I raved about another Bay Area spot fur pizza, but Dopio makes a fantastic Neapolitan style pizza. Gnocchi isn't my first choice fur Italian food, but I really enjoyed what we had tonight.

I heard great things about Doppio and wanted to give this location a try. May be I came with great expectations, and walked out feeling just another ordinary place. I love squid ink pasta and I would order this everytime I see this on the menu. When comparing theirs with my regular go-to place, mine was much better. While their pasta was al dente, but i felt another 30 sec would do the trick. In terms of the sauce and the level of spiciness, they were also a tad behind. Also, the clams weren't thorough cleaned and I had to spit out a couple. While I didn't try their pizza, but it looked great. read more
