Great outdoor patio, food was great but service was slow even though we were there right when they opened and we were the only other party on the patio. We had to go inside to ask for the check.

Sandwiches are excellent. Pinsas and pastas are pretty good. Ambience on the patio on a sunny day is really nice. Service was very friendly, but slow.

We had a very pleasant and satisfying experiencing dining here after Berkeley Rep yesterday. It was almost empty at 6:30 pm, which scared us when we walked in - why aren't other people here? - I don't know why, but for us it was wonderful... Quiet, and we could really talk with one another! The food was delicious, healthy and nicely portioned - not too much or too little. Not super fancy, just interesting flavors and textures, and very reasonably priced. Service was attentive without being intrusive. We were very pleased, and will return!

A lovely experience meeting a friend for lunch. Quiet outside patio, interesting menu for lunch items. Chose the shrimp, prosciutto and burrata pizza, and it was a solid 10. Delicious, and a large enough portion that half went home with me for dinner. Understaffed, but attentive, although a pitcher of ice tea for two instead of single glasses needing refills would have been excellent . Will definitely be back.

Pasta was a tad overcooked and chopped cold cuts in salad should’ve been chopped separately. Lovely outdoors!!

My friend and I ate outside on the patio. There was a couple next door throwing glass and shouting at passersby. I’ve never been at a dinner where I did not feel safe. The woman was ranting and raving, swearing and being generally belligerent. Our server made no effort to bring us inside or call the police. Seems it’s a regular occurrence on Sunday night. Terrible! The worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant in California. I’ll never go back!

So sorry that this happened. I have spoken to the team to call the non emergency call center when guests comment on the rare homeless person that is being inappropriate in front of the library. It doesn't happen often but does happen from time to time. I do wish that you had asked to be moved inside though, as we would have gladly accommodated you.

We always go here for light bites after attending a Berkeley Rep play. This place does not disappoint. The artichoke hears and the giant beans are fabulous. Also the Burrata.
