We had such an amazing time! We ordered the Dinner Party Menu, and it was a perfect mix of everything. All of the food was absolutely delicious, and we scraped every single plate. We also really enjoyed sitting at the bar, and Anthony, the bartender made us some fantastic drinks based on our preferences and what we were eating,

Happy Hour menu on the weekends?! YES please! Just the two of us, but couldn't resist over doing it, easy to do here. 3 apps: Brocoli fritters (delicately crisp, the best way to get a veggie in!) the Duck Liver pate (consistently great), and meatballs w/pesto (crisp, light, consistently good!). I'll definitely be trying to reproduce Brocoli. For pasta, the Casoncelli and Malfatti... both just sublime. Both so gently and thoughtfully prepared, you have to slow down and enjoy each bite and sip of wine. I don't see Malfatti outside of Napa much, and this one is excellent, be sure to get some. You'll be sorry if Chris changes things up. Just one secondi to split, the lamb shank... decadant, rich, melt in your mouth tender, with the tiny style cous cous perfectly sopping up the luxurious, dark sauce. Sampler plate for dessert and short espresso ended things... always a great night at Bellanico!

Who knew Oakland goes off like this? Incredible open space in what I assume is a converted warehouse. I sat upstairs, overlooking the main dining area, which was perfect. Really diverse crowd, fantastic set list by the DJ, great overall energy. Shared the Caesar salad to start, which frankly could have been half the size (it was two full romaine hearts) and the 1lb Ribeye with fries. Finished with the bread pudding. That was more than enough. Great service. Note that 20% gratuity is automatically added, which I was fine with, but just beware so you don't double-tip.

As usual Marzano's is a comfy, neighbor restaurant to go. We had an excellent time, the food came out quickly and because it was so good we ate much faster than planned. We actually didn't feel rushed, so if you are looking for a great neighborhood restaurant this is the one to visit.

Lots of great food + drink choices, so everyone's happy. The service was fabulous. A bit on the noisy side, but we would definitely go here again.
