- DDeborahSan Francisco Bay Area •51 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoNice spot! It was our first time in, we've been meaning to go for ages. Initially, the arrival experience was definitely lacking, but at the table service was lovely and attentive. The menu is smaller, and more California Italian than traditional Italian, but everything we ordered was tasty, and the portions are very generous. The noise level was much louder than expected - it's not a great choice if you're looking to enjoy a quieter conversation - but it seems great for younger families or other groups or 3 or more.More infoCreekwood RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Berkeley•4.7
- BBetseySan Francisco Bay Area •16 reviews4.0Dined 7 days agoThe food was very good. If you are looking for pizza, there are lots of choices. Not so many non-pizza ones. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the food and drink options. It was noisy but not so noisy that we couldn't have a good conversation. Our only complaint was that our table was in front of the door so every time someone came in, we got hit with cold air.More infoA16 RockridgePrice: Expensive• Italian• Oakland•4.5
