“I went here for lunch, and it was quick and filling. I had orrechette with a regular made of veal and tomato tarragon cream sauce. It was delicious and perfectly balanced in flavors. The shrimp and scallop Caesar salad was large and had plenty of seafood but had soggy lettuce, which is to be expected from a hot protein. Everything was very filling. Good lunch on the way to SFO.“

“What an incredible find! In town for the weekend and found this spot based on reviews - and indeed, there was absolutely spectacular food, kind, attentive service, and delicious drinks. If we lived nearby, we would be here constantly! We especially loved the beef ragu pappardelle, butternut squash ravioli, basque cheesecake, and pistachio ricotta cake. Don’t miss this if you are nearby!“

“Our Friday 630PM dinner for four was amazing. That's why I'm taking the time to write this review.
We sat inside. The indoor decor was bright and spacious. It was warm so we didn't sit outside.
Outdoor is a garden setting with many private nooks and many beautiful flowers and vines.
As I waited for my party I sat at the bar and watched the bartender make splendid cocktails.
The dining room was busy with a older crowd of Marin regulars.
I spotted a fellow ex Dipsea runner
at a large family table.
We were efficiently seated at a private side dining area as requested.
Our food came piping hot The portions were large and we shared our entrees.
Everything was extraordinary.
Our server was fun as we chatted and she made good recommendations.
Thank you for a wonderful meal and for holding the bar high on your quality!“

“This place is absolutely amazing. Best value pizza in Marin. I recommend getting Sicilian as it is massive and amazingly tasty. We come back often, and while it’s not Michelin star level pizza, it is very solid and gets the job done.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of options

Parking: Plenty“

“This place was excellent! A little hole in the wall right off of the 101. Me and my husband were driving home late from SF and wanted to grab a bite to eat on the way home. This place is open until 130 in the morning, so makes a great late night option. The crust is made of sourdough and is the perfect amount of crispy and chewy. The sauce was tangy and rich and the toppings tasted fresh. Overall 10/10. The atmosphere wasn't anything to write home about but the food and the guy making the pizzas were excellent and made the hole in the wall vibe. Will go again the next time I'm driving out of the city late at night.“
