review: i can ' t imagine what those other folks are thinking of. my wife and i have eaten here for years, and we think it ' s the best italian food in alameda. portions are uncomfortably huge. next time we go, we ' re going to ask them to halve it (we ' ll pay the same - it ' s simply an obscene amount of food). prices are very reasonable and service has always been great.
i recommend you order the lasagne

review: great fresh food with a ton of menu choices. everything we (party of 6) ate was wonderful. prices were very fair and the service was very friendly. authentic italian pastas and tasty pizzas. huge portions and we will all be back. the ambiance too was very accomodating to us as it has to parts to the restaurant. a sporty side and then a semi fine dining. can 't wait to go back.
i recommend you order the pescatore, burina, chicken marsala, any of the pizzas, house salad

review: recently attended the much hyped wednesday all-you-can-eat pizza night. quite possibly the worst service on the planet, expect incorrect order taking, some people in your party not to be served for nearly an hour. if you have the " nerve " to state your concerns to the manager, expect an argument, no concession for the bad service and to have the bill overcharging you for the incorrect order expected to be paid in full.

review: used to be good, but a recent experience leads several in our group to pledge to never return. the service was abysmal and slow. took about 30 minutes to even take our order. then the pizza was nothing to be excited about, in fact several in our party later reported gastric distresses. sadly, despite complaints to the manager, they insisted on enforcing a mandatory 18% gratuity for a party of seven. overall, our worst dining experience in years.
i recommend you order the none

review: intentionally negligent service, questionable food quality (several in party were immediately ill afterwards), uncaring waitstaff, and an indifferent arrogant manager made our group night out quite memorable. never again!
