Shared a few dishes and loved my huge blue lagoon spritz mocktail. - Chef's loaded fries: 5/5 my favorite bite by far, crispy potato spirals in a cheesy sauce - Lexitini penne: 4/5 tandoori flavors but didn't really stand out much to me after the tasty chefs fries. Not that much chicken when we added it on, I realized later I didn't even eat a single piece. - Champignon risotto: 4/5 Both me and my friend lowkey read this as chanterelle mushroom risotto and had to check the menu when the dish came out. Still tasty and well cooked. Both pastas came with a lovely slice of garlic bread.

I expected Gordon Ramsey to come in screaming at any moment. Then the menu was like...all over the place?! Like having an identity crisis. Anyway we got a few pizzas and a side of curly fries and also the salmon plate and well that shut me up quick. Everything was so good, especially the salmon! Bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The pizza was solid, we even got a paneer one which was unique and tasty. Curly fries were crispier than jack n the box.

This place (obviously) has great reviews so I decided to go. And it certainly meets the hype The staff was very friendly--I let them know it's my first time there so I needed a bit of time to look over the menu--and they were very helpful letting me know the options. I got the Friday I'm In Love and it was amazing. Great size, absolutely packed with meat, amazing flavor. This was a 10/10. The garlic spread was delicious, the slaw was seasoned very well, and everything was very fresh and flavorful. Dutch crunch also had great texture. My only possible complaint was that the meat wasn't very evenly distributed as you can see in the pic, but that's a very minor complaint. To reiterate, this was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Unfortunately I'm not very close to Livermore, but anytime I'm close by in the future, I absolutely want to stop by again. I highly, highly recommend this place for a sandwich!

    De La Torre is one of those places you would probably drive past without realizing what you are…read moremissing. It is tucked into an unassuming shopping center, but absolutely worth seeking out. Once inside, it feels less like a restaurant and more like you have been invited over to a friend's dining room. It is warm, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming. The service hits that perfect balance. It is friendly, attentive, and never overbearing. You feel taken care of without it being a production. The food really delivers. The special, chicken thighs stuffed with smoked ham, was standout and memorable. The margarita pizza is exactly what you want it to be. It is simple, well executed, and perfect for sharing. Do not let the "small" size fool you. It is easily enough for two, maybe even three if you are catching up over drinks. Portions across the board are generous. The fish entrees are especially impressive. The salmon alone felt like it had to be close to half a pound. All of this comes at prices that feel more than fair for the quality and quantity you are getting. This is definitely a spot worth returning to. I am already looking forward to coming back to try the paninis for lunch.

    I wouldn't rave about this restaurant but it's not bad either. It's just your plain Italian food…read more More like Olive Garden but more expensive. I would recommend the hostess that greets you to have a smile or be more pleasant. The food like I said was average. We each had appetizer and main course. Bread is free for first serving but $4.50 for more. Steep for cold bread. Salad was delicious but the bruschetta was horrible. Capellini was bland. We skipped desert. If you have nowhere else to go, okay to come here but I most likely won't return.

The restaurant was empty, which would normally make us feel like we did not choose wisely; however, the tables were all set, the ambiance was comfy and music was playing.

Parking in the area is not bad; you'll have a small walk since this is in the downtown area, but there was a parking lot across the street. The bread was really good with the olive oil and vinegar, and turned out to be the best part of the meal. We were tempted to get a refill, but the menu said that they charged for bread refills so we declined. Nevertheless, they still refilled our bread and didn't charge us for it (maybe they forgot?). I tried their risotto con pollo and short rib papardelle. The risotto was alright, not the best I've had and portions were small. The short rib papardelle was way too salty. Also, it felt really sketchy when they handed us the bill with the total amount and tip already hand written in on the customer receipt by the waiter. Besides this, I would say skip their mediocre and pricey food.

We started our meal with appetizers--Mama Carmela's Meatballs were three oversized meatballs in tomato sauce, topped with Parmesan and crostini (garlic toast); the Fritto Misto was a plate of lightly breaded Monterey calamari, tiger prawns, zucchini, and artichokes, served with a side of creamy capri sauce for dipping; and the Octopus All'insalata was a salad of lightly dressed arugula, olives, cherry tomatoes, and fennel, topped with tender pieces of octopus tentacle. The appetizers were decent, but the real highlight of this restaurant was their freshly-baked pizzas. The Amalfi was a light, summery combination of yellow San Marzano tomato sauce, fiori di latte, burrata, pesto, and red Sicilian Datterino tomatoes; and the Norcina was an aromatic, umami combination of truffle crema, fiori di latte, Italian sausage, and mushrooms. Both were absolutely delicious, and the best part was the authentic Neapolitan pizza crust--thin, light, and chewy all at the same time! Overall, this was a fantastic dining destination with quick, friendly service and a beautiful atmosphere too.

When making the reservation, I specifically noted that this was a birthday celebration and selected covered outdoor patio seating through the reservation system. When we arrived on time, we were told there were no tables available in the area your reservation platform had offered us. To make matters worse, after a staff member asked us which available table we preferred, we pointed one out, only for another waiter to immediately give that exact table away to a smaller party while we stood there as a party of six. That set the tone for the evening. Service throughout the night lacked professionalism and hospitality. One male waiter, approximately in his 40s with slicked-back hair, was consistently rude, dismissive, sharp in tone, and visibly uninterested in helping our table. His behavior affected our entire party and made us feel unwelcome. Management should seriously address his service etiquette and overall conduct toward guests. The most disappointing part was the complete lack of acknowledgment of my wife's birthday. Throughout dinner, we watched several other tables celebrating birthdays receive desserts and recognition from staff, while our table received absolutely nothing despite the restaurant being informed ahead of time. At the end of dinner, we were simply handed the bill with no acknowledgment whatsoever. My wife even turned to me and asked, 'What about my birthday?' and honestly I had no answer for her. The evening felt careless, disorganized, and poorly managed. We did not receive the seating we reserved, experienced rude service, and the special occasion we communicated in advance was completely ignored. Overall, it was a poor dining experience and not somewhere I would currently recommend."

I've always enjoyed the Rigatoni Bolognese and their take-and-bake options (during the pandemic) along with complimentary bread bar. My recent visit was for the (limited time) Holiday Menu: :: Chicken Dijon - seasoned chicken cutlet tossed in butter, breadcrumbs, parmesan, Dijon sauce with a side of rigatoni bolognese. Chicken was nicely prepared and enjoyed for take out. Rigatoni bolognese could've used more sauce. 3.75/5 :: Seafood Cioppino - bay scallops, shrimp and Manila clams in a spicy red sauce over spaghetti - clams were tiny and hard to find and seemed like a bunch of shells. Some were found in the sauce but hmmm. Flavor-wise it was good, tad sweet with a detectable amt of dry wine. 3.75/5 *** 3.75 - 4 stars *** Overall, dishes enjoyed and would repeat. If you have realistic expectations you'll enjoy their Holiday Specials. Of course, best for dine-in but traveled well for take out. Restaurant is clean and organized, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
