We had 45 minutes to kill before our bay cruise so we swung in for a bite to eat…read moreThe restaurant was empty on a Saturday at 1130 so we were seated by a window and quickly ordered some drinks, which came fast. I had the Italian Mule, hubs ordered a beer. We took a look at the menu and nothing was labeled gluten free - grrrrr After so talk I decided on the Caprese Salad - apparently they offer 2 sizes 2 or 4 slices, it being tomato season give me 4 please!! Hubs got the calamari The restaurant was quickly filling up with other people from the boat so we were happy to have already ordered as there was only one server I think, he was HUSTLING along with the other employees who were assisting The food arrive and I was pretty sad to see not ripe tomatoes on the caprese but was still excited to dive in - it was good, but lacked the tomato flavor, the dominant flavors were the balsamic and the italia dressing they added to the top. It was good, just not great Hubs said the calamari was eh, he ate it but not something he would go back for. I would swing by again as the views were pretty, the drinks were okay and the good did it's job

The food was delicious, the service was friendly and efficient and the prix-fix menu made it simple to decide what to order.

Will definitely be back again soon!

We arrived for our outdoor reservation, which is situated on the sidewalk. There was a nice heat lamp set up but the traffic on the road was quite loud. The service members were really delightful. We informed them that we had to jump online to sign up for kids aftercare classes at 8pm to make sure they didn't think we were being pretentious d-bags at that time, which they all understood and encouraged us on. The menu is short and concise with three courses, each with a couple options. The wine list was very extensive and offered a ton of choices. We both decided to start with the Gazpacho and I ordered the Sugo pasta while my wife ordered the risotto. To finish I ordered the chocolate tart while my wife had the sorbet. First off, the gazpacho was amazing, easily a 10 out of 10! The flavor and texture was simply perfect. The Focaccia was also really good and an order must. The mains were good, but didn't quite hit the spot for us. The risotto lacked a bit in flavor, considering all the ingredients it consisted of. The Sugo sauce was good, but I found the pasta to be a bit undercooked; it was a thicker pasta that needed a little more time and didn't really adhere to the sauce that well. Overall I am giving it 4 stars, but this is mainly due to the mains that were served. The service staff were 5 stars as well as the gazpacho!

I will be the first to post a review, and sadly it's not a positive one. GrubHub was offering $5.00…read moreoff to try this new restaurant. So I ordered "Spaghetti with Meaty Marinara and 3 Piece Meatballs" for $15.99. What I received was spaghetti and meatballs, no meaty sauce. The flavor was bland and nothing to rave about. The 3 meatballs were tasty. The pasta was a little dry. Perhaps you should put a scoop of sauce on top of the pasta before you seal the container. Also, they use a foil container, not a microwavable one. The dish itself tastes average, nothing special. For $15.99, you should add extra sauce and add a free dinner roll. If you do a little research, you will find that "901 Marina Village" is the Straw Hat Pizza Restaurant. I don't know if this is a shared kitchen, a ghost kitchen, or just a menu option at Straw hat in Alameda. Would I order again? Nope, not worth $15.99, even with $5.00 off. 901 Marina Village is the Straw Hat Pizza in the Marina Village shopping center. Free parking. Near the Alameda Tube.

When it did arrive, I received the completely wrong item. So I called the restaurant, and they seemed to realize before I even finished explaining, because clearly another customer had received my order. I confirmed the item I ordered and they said they'd re-deliver. I live 10-15 min from the restaurant. 35 min later the re-delivered item arrived.... still not correct. I ordered "Bruschetta Chicken Pasta" and there was no bruschetta. The food itself was also pretty mediocre for the price they're charging. My husband was unimpressed with the quality and scant portion of his meatball spaghetti. The portion of my re-delivered item was ok, but the earlier (wrong) item they delivered was a tiny portion, the container barely half full. GrubHub provided a full refund for my Bruschetta Chicken Pasta, at least. Also as others have noted: the restaurant address is actually the address for VJ's Sports Bar, formerly Straw Hat Pizza, so not sure what's going on there... Bottom line: avoid this place.

Belotti Bottega does it again! This has become my go-to spot for authentic Italian food in Oakland…read more The pasta is always fresh and so good. They also sell fresh pasta and some of their sauces to take home. The restaurant itself is small and cozy, with a great selection of Italian dishes. I've tried quite a few Italian spots around the Bay, and some have been hit or miss, but Belotti is consistently good. I always leave happy!

Anchovy pasta had good flavor and fortunately wasn't too salty, as anchovy pastas tend to run the risk of. But the bottom of the bowl had about a 1/3 cup of oil left. Basically so much oil that the sauce had separated. It was off-putting. I felt like it was some kind of college student takeout food. Which is fine, just price it accordingly. IMO this is too pricey for what you get. And not worth the calories.
