Suong N.: Absolutely delicious Italian fare. My spaghetti with razor clams and sea urchin was outstanding. Great pizza and salumi offerings as well.
Tina D: Paninis for lunch are always good, lasagna is excellent. Seasonal homemade gelato is delish although very expensive. Arancini Ragu is absolute comfort food.
Altaf Kassam: The diplomatico is a must try dessert.

bastylefilegirl: Some great #paleo options & the pasta dishes can be made gluten free. Not to mention so really goo tequila based cocktails. For my carb eaters this place is great! Not to mention the view of the lake!
Zennie Abraham: For fast dinner service, sit at the bar!
Amy Pospiech: Outdoor seating with heat lamps and great view of the lake, excellent service, and wonderful food. I had the pasta carbonara and my bf had the bolognese. A new regular spot for me!

Beer Bar · Old Oakland · 129 tips and reviews
Tom S: One of the best places in the Bay to sample wares from the emerging (in the US) sour beer movement. Try the Russian River Consecration.
Ryan Stark: The sour beers always hide at the back bar, try the Rodenbach Grand Cru.
X: Find a quieter spot between the front & back bars. Free Wi-Fi's solid, too. The wifi name is "OPD" & the password is "drinkbeer". There are also some outlets back here, nice spot to work late & drink.
