Delicious food. We found the perfect catering for our events and lunch meetings. Rudy and his team are very reliable and the service is attentive and friendly.

I dined here years ago and I’m so glad to know that it’s still up and running. I vividly remember the fantastic gnocchi and amazing tiramisu. I hope to revisit here when I am ever back in the area.

Great food! Loved the fresh salads, side veggies and saffron rice full of veggies. It was a different feel from the delivery we've received from other places lately. It just felt good eating healthy, well cooked food. Great communication and professional staff. They didn't have the dessert on the menu and called to ask me what I preferred. We ate every bite. Bravo! ??

This establishment has a special place in my heart. Their food tastes like a labour of love and tastes like they make their food with love. Their food is amazing! Clean quality ingredients. Makes me feel good every time i eat here. This restaurant is a Bay Area Gem.

I was curious about why an Italian restaurant was showing up as being inside Bladium so I had to see! Was really glad I did, they do delivery and takeout and cater as well. Picked up an order to-go and got raviolis and a pizza with some profiteroles as dessert. I didn’t have to wait long and the staff were so kind. They explained they had lost their main location on Park St. during Covid. Everything was delicious and the Gorgonzola pizza was especially tasty!! It was great to pick up some beers from Almanac to go with the meal too, very convenient. Will definitely be back!

We loved Cera Una Volta when they had their resturant. They now are doing catering and the food is the same quality and selection. I used them for an event the presentation and food was incredible. Everything was different not something I could whip up in my kitchen ! Thank You Cheryl and Rudy your new venture is going to be a HUGE Success !

Simply said, the food is always delicious and the owners are delightful to visit whenever I pick up a meal. I do miss dining at the old place on Park Street, but their new location in the Bladium building is convenient and near the temptations of Spirits Alley at Alameda Point. Most importantly, the food is the same hearty and tasty meal we love. We have had takeout often since the Covid shutdowns began, and these meals have provided a special kind of comfort in these strange times. Over the years, they have catered many client and family events for us, all with happy results. Thank you, Cheryl and Rudy!

The filling become pumpkiny-delicious and now not too sweet. And It turned into such a satisfaction to be offered a GF pasta dish that wasn’t penne.
We ordered the Alameda Meals on Wheels Restaurant Week Special: perfectly cooked filet mignon, lots of beautifully roasted vegetables and potatoes, a huge arugula, beet and pistachio salad, focaccia and tiramisu. The steak was so big, I could make steak sandwiches with the focaccia for lunch the next day. Delicious! Thank you C'era Una Volta for a great meal and for supporting our homebound neighbors! You guys are the best!

Yesterday was the first time we went to this place. But It is surely not the last. We passed a splendid evening with the generous service, with the magnificent meal and booze and with the modest charge. We will no doubt visit there in a short time.

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner delivered as part of a community fundraiser. Signature spinach salad with caramelized onions, walnuts, and mild cheese. Entrees of eggplant Parmesan (with delicious colorful vegetables alongside) and truffled gnocchi with beef sugo both exceeded expectations. Finished the meal with panna cotta topped with fresh seasonal berries -- light, sweet, and perfect dessert for this meal. We like this restaurant and look forward to "take-out" again and to dining on their covered patio soon.

We were meant to be in Italy. Obviously not a substitute but the food is great and the owners friendly. And two three course meals for $35 pick up.

I really like this place. Just off of park street down a bricked lane. Real Italian food done just right This is not the checkered tablecloth and red sauce type of Italian. Contemporary upscale food with a reallly good wine selection. The staff is good with their wine pairing as well.
