Consistent. The food is tasty. When I am in a carb mood, linguini and clams with their signature side bread with a nice slab of butter hits the spot.
The large pizzas are attractive and oozing with cheese and flavor.
A great restaurant that has raised the bar in Novato.

This place was cute. I met up with a friend who lived in the area and had never been. Nothing about this place really stood out though. The staff was friendly and the food was good. It is family friendly but I can’t see this place being good for large groups. Overall it was a “safe” option. I probably wouldn’t come back by choice but I wouldn’t be opposed if someone else wanted to go. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t the best Italian I’ve had. Portion sizes were reasonable. Their homemade bread was really good too.

I went here for lunch the other day it was delicious! I ordered the meatball and sausage sandwich for lunch with a side of fries. The first time, my sandwich came out cold in the middle. I informed the waitress and she promptly took the food back and apologized. A few minutes later, my food came out, hot this time, and it was excellent. The bread was nice and crunchy, the meatball, sausage, and marinara all went so well together. Plus, the melted cheese!! I will be going back and ordering it again. The French fries were super crunchy and hot, 10 out of 10 French fry. The service was excellent despite my sandwich being cold the first time and they even gave me a discount on the price. That is what I call excellent customer service. I will definitely be going back and trying the other items on the menu, this is a place you gotta try.

I visited this Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown, and the location was both convenient and welcoming. My group of four arrived without a reservation, but we were seated quickly and without any wait. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I ordered the Creamy Pesto Alfredo, garlic breadsticks, and a Juicy Breeze cocktail. While the cranberry flavor in the Juicy Breeze was a bit too strong for my liking, I absolutely loved the made-to-order Creamy Pesto Alfredo and the soft, fluffy garlic breadsticks. For dessert, I tried the tiramisu, which had a robust coffee flavor that didn’t quite suit my taste, but it may appeal to others. Overall, a pleasant experience with great service and tasty dishes!

Stopped in for lunch. I had the best pizza. Delicious crust! The pepperoni was so yummy it was crispy like bacon. Every bite was scrumptious! I had to control myself to save the last piece. I want to have it for breakfast.
I splurged and had dessert and coffee. Excellent! The bread pudding was satisfying! Done just right!
I want to go back to The Village on Grant Ave again and have their pasta and yes more pizza! But also the Tiramisu.
At some point I hope to return and try having Sunday Brunch.
Service is excellent! Friendly place, plenty of street parking.

Great atmosphere. We had children with us & ordered the pizza. Delicious, hand tossed & fresh. Quicker than we expected. The small house salad was big enough to share. Highly recommend.

Great flavorful dishes. The crust on their pizza is amazing and I usually don’t eat the last part of crust. I devoured my entire Stromboli personal pizza crust and all. The house salad was enough to split for 2. My sister had the pasta of the day and it was a wonderful pasta with creamy pesto sauce and a side of delicious bread. We had a wonderful time. The ambience was very welcoming.

There is a very odd smell which acosts the senses when entering this restaurant through the front door. It smelled like my grandmother’s garage when one of her deep freezers stopped working. So, I decided to stay away from anything with meat just in case. The soup and salad lunch was okay. Very overpriced for what you get. Maybe it would have tasted better if that awful smell wasn’t lingering. I mistakenly thought the garlic bread was the one that everyone raves about in the reviews. It wasn’t. I had to pay an extra $4 for that roll. It was excellent and almost made the awful smell worth it but it was very over priced for what you get.

I took the family to lunch here on a Sunday and it was nice but the staff was clearly overwhelmed. There were 2 waitstaff employees on duty that day and things took a while. There was a big miscommunication on our drink order but the waiter was cool about it and took care of it for us.
The food is/was really good but a little quirky. I ordered a panini but received a large salad on bread. From what I understand this is how their family or province does it. It was different but still tasty.
Now that I know a little more about this place I’ll ask more questions when I go back. I’ll definitely go back.

I had the pasta breakfast with spinach, cherry tomatoes, sausage , bacon and a fried egg on top . It was delightful. The puffy pasta bread they serve with the pasta came with melting butter on the inside with fresh herbs sprinkled on top of a freshly made pasta bread . I also ordered a latte with honey which was one of thee best lattes I’ve ever had . My server was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great barista. I will be back to this old school charmer .
