In Short – The biggest selling point at this two-story bayside restaurant is the setting--each table boasts a sensational view of Jack London Square and the Oakland-Alameda estuary. But that's no knock on the menu, which is veritable hit list of Italian favorites. Offerings include creamy fettuccine Alfredo, robustly flavored with garlic and Parmesan, or meaty veal piccata with tangy lemon sauce. Lobster ravioli in a zesty sun-dried tomato-pesto sauce is a house favorite.

beyond mediocre
by someoneelsesdime
This place has a great waterfront location but the food, service, and decor were painfully bad. The chicken and fish were over cooked, the sauces were salty and tasted canned, the drinks were undrinkably sweet, and the $18 dinner salad was smaller than your typical "free" strarter salad at other restaurants. Not recommended.

Great Pasta!!
by bello_farfalla
I always order the same thing Salmon Picatta. It has grilled salmon with sauteed mushrooms, capers and fresh basil in a creamy lemon, butter, and white wine sauce tossed with penne. To die for!!! If you go on a weekend, make reservations if you want to sit by the window.
- Pros: The food, Overlooking the water and a warm fireplace.
- Cons: No booths

MY FAVORITE ON ALAMEDA
by jcmal
I have been dining here for at least 10 years, first when I lived in NY and visited, and now that I am living here on Alameda. The food is wonderful, especially the seafood ravioli in a wonderful cream sauce. The salads are also outstanding, as are the pizzas. I am a vegetarian and always findsomething wonderful on the menu. The desserts are fantastic too! The owner is a great person, and many of the servers are relatives who make you feel extremely important. Every table has a view of the water, and the fireplace in winter make it cozy and romantic too. Great prices and ambience. Don't miss this one.
- Pros: Great Food, Service and Ambience
- Cons: Would like to see more fish specials
