It's always a pleasure dining at Vespucci! Not only is the food amazing and delicious, Francesco and Manuela are just as wonderful! We do not get to dine there as often since we live in the East Bay, but anytime we have, they are always so warm and welcoming and very invested in building an amazing relationship with us and getting to know us.

As a vegetarian we are always looking for places that serve delicious Italian dishes. We found that here! The eggplant Parmesan was off the charts! The spinach ravioli was perfection. Combined with the service we felt like we were indeed back in Italy!

Always a wonderful experience at Vespucci Italian Ristorante. Small town enough but not to small. The food is consistent and good portions sizes. Fresh ingredients. I went for my favorite eggplant Parmesan, but saw the short ribs with polenta go by! I should have tried that. The lasagna was a bit of a surprise as it had some pesto on top this time. Our two guest had a chicken dish that they liked and would order again. Vespucci is a local favorite, make sure you make reservations as they are quite popular and they are going to be featured on the American Dream TV show soon.

This restaurant was amazing, service was amazing as they always filled up our water quickly and ensure our meals paced well. We came on a Friday night and it was a little bit quiet, but it was perfect for just chatting. The food was really good, except their pastor was a bit sweet for stew since they’ve added one onion, but you can tell the owners have a lot of consideration for the regulars, and it looks like a lot of people eating knew the owners.

First timers! Celebrated our anniversary here on a Saturday. Really cute place. Staff were very welcoming, including the owner. We ordered calamari (fresh , tasty, crunchy), mushroom soup (very earthy & yummy), risotto de mar (lots of seafood, saucy), black ink pasta de mar (super yummy). Everything tasted fresh & delicious. Wish I had taken pictures, but as soon as the food arrived we just dug in. Give this cute place a try. You won't be disappointed.

I am Italian burn and raised and love to cook, therefore I almost never go to Italian restaurants, but I make an exception for Vespucci. The food there is authentic and delicious. This time we tried the calamari appetizer: light and perfectly seasoned. We also tried two pasta dishes: the carbonara and the mafalde alla genovese. Both very well done - especially the carbonara is better than what I have eaten in Italy! The portion are abundant and the service is warm and welcoming - I can't wait to go back again.

Vespucci is our favorite Italian restaurant. The food is always fresh and delicious. We had the branzino special and the petrale sole dinners. They were both excellent. Topped it off with limoncello sorbet for dessert. We always appreciate the warm welcome from Manuela and Francesco and look forward to the next time!

Food, service, vibe, everything perfect. The owners personally accommodated a gluten intolerance at our table. Our waiter was also hilarious. They are METICULOUS with bringing classic Italy!!

The food was delicious, the customer service was casual, and I had a good time.
All their foods, salads, pastas, desertes, and appetizers were fantastic. Even the owner of the restaurant's hospitality was great.
