We went to Enoteca Molinari because a friend of a friend, ..Karen the know it all “said it is lthe best Italian restaurant in Oakland” Well, I don’t normally listen to Karens, but for some reason this time I did. And…darn happy I did because the food, although simple and regionally authentic was amazing! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆

Fabulous place from start to finish. Amazing wine list and dishes to go with it. Fabiano was the superb server holding down the whole restaurant by himself. Quality and great service takes time. The asparagus burrata was delicious. The pasta ragu to die for. We finished off with the super moist almond torte. This gem is worth driving to from SF.

Food: Good but not great. Was expecting more given we’ve tried to ‘walk in’ several times only to find out that reservations were needed…we got lucky this time. Had the Arancini (golden fried croquettes and the Asapragi con burrata (Asparagus with burrata) for apps…both were yum, but ask for bread with the burrata. I had the Tagliatelle al ragu’, which really didn’t pack the flavor that I was expecting. Wife ordered the Orecchiette con le cime di rapa, again…not a meal with WoW. Both were OK/good, but not great. The Pacific swordfish was also ordered at our table, and that was given very positive reviews (thin cut of fish, not your typical thick steak). Atmosphere: Good place for conversation, the meal was quite long (over 2 hours)…the waiter was very friendly and made suggestions as requested, but was in no hurry. That part of the meal does feel a bit authentic Italian. Decent wine list with many Italian options.

This is a perfect neighborhood Italian restaurant. The food is excellent, service is friendly and attentive, and the space is welcoming and unpretentious. I had the gnocchi, which was cooked perfectly and the sauce was outstanding. For dessert we shared the panna cotta with figs that was out of this world.

Just great. On a street full of Italian options, EM flies under the radar. Five of us shared five appetizers. Arancini were really great — and we’d all just been to Sicily, so we were calibrated. Pecorino, gem salad, both excellent. Sardines were a bit small, but tasty. Cauliflower was a B. Saltimbocca, swordfish, gnocchi, and oreccietta with rabe were all nicely prepared and the desserts did not disappoint. Service and pace were relaxed. We would all go back — and will.

They know what they are doing with the food. Very good, authentic Italian. That’s why you might go. The atmosphere is nothing at all and the service is fine. People are nice and relaxed.

What a cute Lil restaurant! They have a small, but utterly delicious menu!!!!

I should have taken pics to share in the review but I didn’t.

At any rate, the food and service was fantastic! Give this place a try.
