    Doesn't look like much from the outside, but come on in. THE FOOD IS SO GOOD HERE! Pizza, pasta, calzones, appetizers...spot on. Easy parking, a plus in Berkeley.

    Adorable small authentic Italian spot nestled in the unassuming 5th street, harder to find for folks didn't already about it, but the up side is easier street parking which I personally do highly value! Great spot for date or small intimate gatherings! Came here on a Friday evening, only one waiter was present at the establishment for the entire meal duration, but he however did manage to serve all the tables to what I could see very effectively even as the restaurant completely filled up! That said, another wait staff would have absolutely improved the dining experience for the guests overall. We started the meal with an order of focaccia, Sunday salad, and seared Spanish octopus. - Focaccia is very thin which I do prefer since the outside crusty parts are the best! Definitely drizzle some of their delicious house made spicy olive oil on it! - Spinach salad was light and refreshing, tiny extra crunchy croutons provided lovely texture variation. - Spanish octopus with olives were the absolute star of the meal! Octopus cooked to perfection, and the flavor was so well balanced with the olives, potatoes, and tomatoes! For mains, we tried pizza, pappardelle, raviolis, and gnocchi! As someone who is very picky about carbs, I'm happy to report that everything I tried were made with high quality ingredients and worth every calories! Pro tip - drizzle the spicy olive oil on that pizza and thank me later! Don't leave without trying their desserts and/or the most yummy gelato made in the facility just behind the restaurant! Look forward to coming back and trying rest of the menu items!

    If this restaurant were located on Fourth Street or any other bustling area, it would be so much more crowded and popular because of how delicious the food is!! The pasta tastes incredibly fresh and delicate, a quality I surprisingly don't see often in pasta places. This place has an elaborate kitchen where you can see them making their pasta from scratch too! You must try their great spicy olive oil, which adds a nice gentle kick to your dishes. Their mozzarella is also fantastic, especially in their focaccia dishes. Given the price of most dishes here, this place is wildly incredible value for money, and I will definitely be coming back.

    We were served the most delicious lunch - we ordered off the "Berkeley Restaurant Week" menu - and the service was impeccable. We each enjoyed a scoop of the pistachio gelato to finish (included), could not have been better!
