Opinion Worth a Thought
Good ambiance with bright and airy decor. We went at night and didn’t get to see the view of the bay. Might visit later during the day to see the view

Food was hit a miss. Sauce of the clam appetizer seemed watery and diluted. Didn’t get much taste out of it. Fried sand dabs and grilled salmon were good, though. My friend enjoyed her spicy seafood pasta with just the right amount of heat which doesn’t overpower the pasta sauce

Service was polite and attentive, but was a bit on the slow side. They were very busy, but looked to be understaffed

Had the calamari, the sand dabs with pesto spaghetti, and the fettuccine with seafood. Location great, food great – I’m very particular about calamari and this was cooked quite well, the sand dabs are absolutely fantastic! Only one thing I could ask for was the lights to be a little lower so we can enjoy the view. We went well after sunset, dark outside and way too bright inside. Other than that, great staff, food, and will be back on our next trip down from the Bay to try other things on the menu!

A Little Slice of Italy by the Wharf ✨
This spot has it all — a great location, authentic Italian dishes, and even a waiter who speaks Italian (which makes the pasta taste extra legit!). The wharf views are absolutely stunning, with a possible visit from an otter.. If you’re celebrating a birthday, get ready for a fun surprise — they’ll serenade you with “Happy Birthday” in Italian! And whatever you do… save room for the cannoli — that creamy filling is worth every bite.

Being a low to no carb foodie I always judge these Italian joints by their steamed baby clams, fried calamari and meat options. Their steamed clams in white wine were to die for 9.5/10. Their calamari was tender, well seasoned, lightly battered and not oily at all 9/10. They did have a NY steak option which although I asked for medium rare it came out medium well. They did ask me how I wanted it at first. After it was brought out and I seen how it was prepared I got the feeling that’s they way they prepare it for everybody. Nevertheless the steak had excellent flavor was nice and juicy and the fat on the outside layer was well rendered. I also got a hint of dry aged flavors 8.7/10. Would definitely come back again.

Warmly greeted upon entering. Choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Ocean views. Great staff recommendations – was even told soup or salad should be skipped to safe room for dessert. Lovely delicious tiramisu and creamy spumoni.
Will definitely return for other meals.

This place is a great find in a location that’s not crowded like cannery row or the old historic pier.
The service was great, friendly, and attentive. The food was really good too. Had the spaghetti alle vongole and it was a good amount of nice thick egg spaghetti with a garlic light cream sauce that had just enough flavor to not be overpowered. Would definitely come by again if I’m ever in the area.

Plenty of parking spaces but it’s a paid parking lot. This waterfront Italian restaurant has a lovely, chill, and relaxing vibe with beautiful views. Unfortunately, the service was very slow-the server hardly checked on us, and we had to chase them down just to order more drinks and food. Overall, it’s a chill spot to grab a few drinks and relax.

Staff was attentive and friendly. I ordered the bruschetta classica and sand dabs. Both were delicious! It was my first time here, but I will be back next time I am in the area.

Great place near the water, paid parking lot. Service is always excellent. Quality food. Our 3rd time here. We did have one issue with how our one of our dishes was prepared, but the Kithen fixed it immediately with. Love coming here and will be back. If you can make reservations do. There are stairs to get here. They have outdoor seating with heaters but still might need a jacket if the sun starts to set .

This restaurant is absolutely divine. We’re on a mini vacation from the bay area and left today open to pick random restaurants, whereas I planned/reserved other ones yesterday. I picked this place because it had good reviews and is walking distance from our hotel. In hindsight, I would come here even if I had to drive from my hotel. It is SO good.

The server first of all was amazing. No chit chat really, just straight to business, very responsive, paid attention, punctual, and quite handsome with an Italian accent. He was personable and had friendliness in his eyes.

We had the polenta to start, 2 specials for entrees, and affogato for dessert.

The polenta was perfect – a little grainy, paired with a creamy sauce, cheese, and mushrooms. Well balanced, earthy, delicious.

The 2 specials we had were the Swordfish and Lobster with gigantic ravioli. I dont order swordfish often, maybe once every other year, and truly this was the best swordfish ive had. It was served over zucchini with tomato and capers and risotto with spinach.

The lobster was cooked absolutely perfect, seasoned simply, was slightly sweet and very juicy. The tail was served over the gigantic ravioli, I forget what the filling was, but they were amazing. Walnut pieces were sprinkled over the ravioli which was a great touch of crunch to an otherwise smooth meal.

The espresso over the house made Gelato was the absolutely perfect cap to the experience.

Finally, the interior of the restaurant is warm, homey, inviting, cozy. The chairs were comfortable, every staff was friendly and smiled, and the lights they set out on the tables for the evening when the sun sets create ample cozy light at the table.

If youre looking for a meal that won’t disappoint, and an atmosphere that feels like family, this is the place.
