patrick hooker: best tripe I have ever had. Tomato sauce and gorgonzola in a carzuela....soooo goood...
Adelin Cai: Everything is delicious here. Thanks to a friend's recommendation, I now get their tonic (no alcohol) with each meal for $4. Every time it's just a little bit different.
Ashley Mowrey: Get the gin and tonic and pizza with nettles or chanterelles. Everything is so damn good. Get in when they first open, no need to be picky about when you eat, just get in when you can.

Ellen Fremaux: Poached egg with Gorgonzola is the best!!
Liz Pallatto: Perfect little breakfast bites. The homemade jams, giant latte bowls and Eggs Benedict are all good but I think everything is good - it’s hard to choose
Genevieve CW: Ignore the negative tip, new owners are the friendliest people you'll ever meet! New lunch specials everyday - soup is always amazing. And they make the BEST chocolate chip cookies ever!!!

Joel Bernier: Absolutely concur with Ruth S.! The goat cheese cheesecake is unreal. Another must-do is grabbing a bicicletta with a delicious brunch offering like a frittata or eggs florentine. Enjoy!
Amelia Mani: Everything was awesome, especially the burrata and the duck.
Marissa Coughlin: Brunch is excellent - donuts and the hash are killer. Never a wait!

Brian Strauss: One of the elite pizza places in Oakland. Not better than Zachary's, but with a very nice full bar and just as kid friendly, it may edge out Zachary's in terms of the overall experience.
Cameron Wilson: Four of us shared a large meatball appetizer and a large Telegraph deep dish pizza. Amazing value, absolutely delicious.
Matt Opsahl: Sat at the bar on a quiet Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the zucchini flat crust pizza, which was just enough for two. Delicious! Would like to come back for a date night for pizza and beer/cocktails.

Danielle McIntosh: Tortelloni con sugo, tortelloni con panna, pappardelle porcini, and combination pizza are amazing. Try the wine too! The local red and white from Oakland are delicious!
Charlie Penaflor: Cash and check only. Weird. Somebody's cheating on their taxes. Toerelloni con Sugo is great. A small pizza would suffice as appetizers for a party of four. The Bricco Revoira compliments well.
Jeff Wittich: Home made spaghetti is awesome. Cash or check only though.
