“This is my favorite pasta place because of the Chicken Piccata, do your self a favor and give it a try. You will not be disappointed. In fact I have tried other dishes and they are all amazing. For me it's worth the long drive just to have great Italian food. I highly recommend.“
“It was my first time here and it did not disappoint. I had a late lunch and I just made it just in time to order the vegetable panino (they stop making these after 3pm). It had a nice crunch and tasted amazing, it had eggplant my favorite! We did order the crab balls which were alright but it did come with a yummy orange creamy sauce. The calamari was delicious, always a must. We were a party of 3 and a young daughter and father dining next to us (super empty), I felt the waiter was rushing us! Trending ambiance!“
“DISCLAIMER: I pretty much never order delivery from any restaurant because it is always screwed up. Door Dash, Postmates and even Eat24 (sorry Yelp!) have let me down or forgotten something and took too long. Even my favorite restaurants that I've made glowing reviews over have done me dirty on my delivery orders. So with that said, my review is based on ORDER ONLINE AND PICK UP ORDERS pizza orders at Pizza Hut. The service here was friendly and I was able to put an online order without any problems. When I got there I had to wait a little bit for the breadsticks but they put them in right away and I was out the door in 15 minutes. The pizza was delicious (because let's be real Pizza Hut does it right with a stuffed crust and the buttery pan pizza crusts!) and I was satisfied. From the many yelp reviews (Mind you it is clear many people have low review counts because in general people only remember to review when they have a terrible experience and want to wield their power) you may be concerned. But if you're like me and crave a certain franchise's stuffed crust, this place gets the job done. Maybe just don't get delivery and order online for the best experience. Your stuffed crust cravings will be satisfied.“
“A pizza is not just a pizza at this restaurant. It's very different and very good. They call it a pinsa... cloud like pizza. Their description is accurate. It's crispy outside and soft inside... and delicious. We ordered 2 pinsas. One has the same name as the restaurant and was soooooo good, very tasty. We enjoyed both. Their octopus appetizer was one of the best I've ever eaten. Simple preparation that allowed the quality ingredients to shine. The octopus was fresh and tender... not chewy. My spouse loved the grilled exterior of the octopus. I was sorry we did not order 2 of them. Salome our server was wonderful. Her suggestions about the food and wine were spot on. Her only mistake was not suggesting that I order my own octopus appetizer... Still we hope she is our server when we return. Our next time will be for dinner in order to enjoy their full menu.“
“I love me a good sandwich in any form and when I was in the area I was surprised to see not too many options in Castro Valley. I came close to giving up and driving away right before I found this Italian Delicatessen. Thankfully it met all of my expectations! These sandwiches are LOADED! They are not shy with the veggies or deli-meat. I tried 2 sandwiches, the Dutch crutch was amazinggg. The sourdough was a true sourdough bread. Loved this place and will definitely come back!“
“So, to begin with. When you see the place from a street, it is not the first choice to swing by, yet when you peek through the window, you'll see an open kitchen with food being cooked nonstop, a hood sign.Inside the place seems a bit crowded, yet you could probably squeeze 8n at the bar if you ask nicely even if you don't have reservation :)And now the food, fantastic italian cusine - the pasta is appropriately aldente, tomato sauce is fantastic, the beef carpaccio blows you away.And in the end you feel guilty if you miss the dessert.I would definitely recommend making a reservation and arrive hungry.Parking in a garage nearby is plenty.“
“Went for Tri-Valley restaurant week.. Nice menu of hearty minestrone soup and boar ragu with fresh pasta. So delicious! A crisp cannelloni was the dessert. On a cold rainy night, the restaurant was packed with locals who know where to go for warmth, comfort and filling, homey, yummy food.“
“Brava Garden Eatery was such a treat! We felt so well taken care of by the friendly staff, and the food was absolutely delicious – The vibe was just perfect for a memorable evening out. The only downside was the wine selection, which didn't quite hit the mark, but honestly, it didn't ruin our experience at all. We left with happy bellies and big smiles.“
“The atmosphere in this place is great, awesome beer selection, lots of TVs for sports, small game area for the kids and an overall great place for large gatherings. However, the pizza on multiple visits is just ok. We’ve tried the garlic chicken and a couple of others, maybe the appetizers are better, but so far it’s been hit or miss on the pizza choices.As our daughter gets older and goes through HS, I’m sure we’ll be back to try again.Does anyone have a recommendation as to what the best pizza or food option is at Porky’s?“
“We stopped in on a Monday for dinner. Apparently they host a charity each Monday with volunteer servers donating their tips and 10% of the bill to support a cause. A noble action by the owners to support the community. They serve a limited menu, but had what I wanted - pappardelle with pork ragout. Aldente pasta and a rich flavor on the sauce. I devoured the bowl. The portion seemed small, but was just enough.“
