Sole (5 stars) - so soft, with slightly crispy egg wash
Daniel C.

Via Piccola is a casual, festive Italian restaurant located within Tiburon's strip mall. next to the Nugget grocery store. Plenty of shared parking, which is always a plus! Our party of three sat near the window, with a good view of the bar and several flatscreens showing the Warriors game. We tend to frequent Italian cuisine a bit more now that our 3yo is beginning to enjoy pasta, especially penne! Definitely recommend starting off with the roasted veggies samplers - you get vibrant, naturally-sweet eggplant, zucchini, peppers, and shrooms. (5 stars) For entrees, the sole with scalloped potato was awesome. Crispy outside, and so soft and lemony. (5 stars) We got the Chicken Piccata with a side of penne. Chicken was moist and they got the sauce right. Penne cooked al dente. Portion a bit small for dinner entree (4 stars). For dessert, I'd recommend Key Lime Pie (5 stars) for that sweet, wonderful cookie crust and nice balance of sweet and tart from the smooth filling. Carrot cake (4 stars) was good too, but definitely on the sweet side and less smooth texture-wise.

Cute. Quaint. Yummy. Reasonable. These words describe Via Piccola when our part of 5 had dinner last weekend. My mother in law made reservations a week before and she came in here for lunch. We started with Caesar salads to share and complementary bread service. Everyone at this restaurant was very nice and we were very well taken cared of. I absolutely enjoyed my swordfish. The way it was prepared was perfect for my liking. Too bad, we didn't leave room for dessert. By the way, if you are looking to purchase art, they have a good selection displayed on the walls. Prices included

Medium Rare Ribeye

Great service. Wines were awesome! Ribeye was on point paired with Pessimist wine. Kuddos to Pedro who even recognize my voice as I called ahead to reserve, and my server Cipriani for taking care of me. Def will walk down the street to come here more often!

We came here for dinner. I like the look inside and the romantic music that was playing (even though it is not Italian haha). A staff member patiently explained the specials. We decided to get their spaghetti rustico, fettuccine with scallops, and veal (the dish name escapes me sorry, but you can find it!) and finished the meals with their tiramisu, panna cotta, and key lime pie. Fantastico! So good! Well-seasoned and not soggy! Even their espresso was smooth and lovely! I would like to come back again! I will try one of the Italian red wines next time...I have been meaning to try one haha!

Next to Us is a cozy gem with a warm atmosphere. The Italian dishes are flavorful and authentic, making for a delightful dining experience. Perfect for a casual night out!

I ordered fish, and it was the smallest piece I've ever had. My husband had pasta with shrimp; unfortunately, they used the smallest and cheapest shrimp available. The Caesar salad was nothing special, no flavor, and we had to ask for extra dressing. The calamari appetizer didn't look appealing and lacked a fresh, vibrant color. Nothing was included with my $44 fish dish, so I had to order a side of roasted potatoes for extra $8, which were not fresh at all. When I asked our waiter, he said they make them daily, which likely means they were made anytime in the morning. Overall, it was not worth the $198 we spent on a tasteless dinner. Very disappointed that we chose Luna Blu for our special day, and we will definitely not be going back. Basically, you're paying for the view.

It also has that "living room of Tiburon" vibe and comfortable, welcoming, and the kind of place you keep coming back to whether it's a casual dinner or something a little more special.

In Tiburon, where street parking doesn't exist, this alone deserves a star. The valet crew was friendly and even recommended dishes. We had a reservation but still waited about 20 minutes to be seated. It's Valentine's Day, so I get it, though it did cost us the sunset we'd timed our reservation around. We didn't get our requested window seat either, but to be fair, you can see the water from pretty much anywhere in the restaurant, and the views are genuinely beautiful. We grabbed drinks at the bar while we waited. Bartender was quick and personable even in the rush. The Mad Men Old Fashioned and Bay Side Bellini were both perfectly fine. Food was good, not great. The jumbo shrimp appetizer was the standout: fresh, big, well prepared. The crumble cheesecake was solid too. The Kurobuta Tomahawk pork chop was a bit dry and could have used a sauce to go along with it. My Chicken Milanese had nice texture but leaned a little heavy on the vinaigrette. Mashed potatoes on both plates were good. Prices are above average but not unreasonable for waterfront dining. Staff was friendly and professional (tuxedos and everything), and the food came out faster than I expected for how busy it was. The waiter seemed a touch stretched thin, but that's a Valentine's Day problem, not a service problem. Jazz music, big windows, candlelit waterfront vibes: the ambiance delivers. One note: the restroom could use some attention. It was not in great shape when we visited.

You would think this establishment that has been around for decades should have it down to a science especially with the first impression, wrong! We came here to celebrate our milestone Anniversary and we were hoping to be "wowed" since it was our first time. We ordered the Grilled Ribeye Steak, Kurobata Tomahawk Pork Chop and Olive Oil Crispy Roasted Vegetables and Potatoes. We'll start with the Ribeye...was it even a Ribeye? It had no marbling and was not a thick cut, not even tender and had very little flavor. Kurobata Tomahawk Pork Chop...although great in presentation, and somewhat flavorful, it was mostly dry and overcooked. Don't bother with the side of the Olive Oil Crispy Roasted Vegetables and Potatoes, they were terrible and far from crispy, more like limp vegetables from the end of the day that needed to be discarded. Since it was our milestone Anniversary and there was a mention of it on the reservation, there was zero acknowledgement of it when it came time for dessert. That was a bit disappointing when it came to attention to detail. The positive in my review was that the service was satisfactory and from where we were seated the views of San Francisco Bay were spectacular! I know this is a harsh review but it's important to know for the price point, it does not live up to the quality you would expect!

I had made reservations a week before our trip, for our Anniversary, to guarantee a nice table with the best views, and that's exactly what we got.

Their menu isn't as big as their San Francisco location, but it offers the most popular items like their famous ciopppino and many other dishes. We were brought ice waters and sourdough bread and butter. The bread was so warm and fresh. Very comforting. My husband ordered their special of the day, which was the grilled wild California king salmon. And I ordered the linguine con vongole, which is linguine with clams. Our food came out fresh and hot. My husband loved his salmon. My linguine and clams were good but overly salty. Our waiter noticed I wasn't eating my dish and asked if everything was okay. I let him know that it was very salty. Without hesitation, he removed my plate and had the kitchen remake it for me. He was so nice about. My remade dish was brought out to me and it was perfect. There were a hefty portion of the clams and the linguine was cooked at a perfect al dente. The manager came out to apologized for my first dish being overly salty and wanted to be sure the remade dish was just right.

The manager (name sounded like "An-Gloria," based on what I was told) came across as unprofessional and visibly overwhelmed. Instead of supporting her staff during a busy time, she was speaking to them in a harsh and dismissive way, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere for both employees and guests. It's never a good sign when staff look stressed and unsupported. On top of that, when I asked for a wine refill, her response felt rushed and came with unnecessary attitude. I understand that restaurants get busy, but how you handle pressure is what defines good management--and this wasn't it. The food and setting were fine, but the service experience, particularly from management, really took away from the visit. I hope this is addressed because it impacts both the staff environment and customer experience.
