Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Hayward

We had a fantastic time last night at Horatio's. The food was delicious and the service was first rate.

Just enjoyed a lovely meal at Paradiso. Everything was excellent, from the service, the drinks, the appetizers, meal and dessert. We were a small group celebrating one of our friend’s 75th birthday. Along with cocktails and wine, we shared the calamari and the beet salad, which were both delightful! The calamari was fried perfectly and the beet salad was so flavorful it was easily devoured. Two of us enjoyed the rigatoni bolognese and one ordered the rack of lamb, which was on the rare side but beautifully cooked. The server was so nice and responsive, it really enhanced our experience. We ended the meal with crème brûlée and Paradiso gifted our birthday gal with a very nice tiramisu. Both were a perfect finish to a great meal and experience at Paradiso. We have been to Paradiso separately and as a group several times over the years. It continues to be a high quality restaurant that is a great place for family or friends to connect over excellent food.

We came in about 5pm, and what stood out right away was any employee that I saw greeted us. Hostess was very nice and we were seated. The service was outstanding! Our host checked on us and our drinks very well! The cook was entertaining, funny and cooked our steaks perfectly! The steak was so good, I didn’t use the sauce! The room and decor is a bit “tired” but did not affect my overall all wonderful experience! I will gladly return for another visit !,

The food is good, but the service needs to improve, our server NEVER stop by after serving our food, didn’t even ask or check on our drinks or water, we always go to this place and this last time is worse service.

This is my favorite local Italian restaurant. The food is just fantastic and the service impeccable.
