Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in San Leandro

The food is exceptional. Always generous portions and fresh quality. The hostess went out of her way to find us the perfect table to celebrate our Mother’s 90th birthday. Her caring attitude really set a happy tone for the entire evening. Our waiter is Jameson. He made our night even better. Great suggestions, great pairing ideas. Complete awareness of our wants and needs. So happy to have had this waiter for the second time in a row in a 6 month period. I believe it speaks well of the management that the staff remain for extended periods.

We had a lovely evening at Piatti last night. Our table was ready as soon as we arrived, and the timing of the dinner was just right—not too rushed, but not too slow either. My dining companions thoroughly enjoyed the pizza, soup, and salad. One friend even joked that the salad dressing was so good she could lick the bowl! I opted for the pasta bolognese, which was absolutely delightful. I was pleased to learn that the pasta is made fresh in-house. The restaurant was recently remodeled and I feel it’s much nicer now with comfortable chairs. We will be back!

We loved the experience! We went with 4 people, everyone was very happy with their food as it was all interesting, creative and delicious! Service was spot on, great ambience though pretty noisy. It's not cheap, we spent 100 dollars per person including the tip for a shared appetizer, an entree and one drink (no dessert ). It was well worth it and we'll surely come back.

My favorite neighborhood spot for dining. Food and service is always great and the menu changes so always something new to explore.

Phenomenal! The food is really authentic! Definitely worth the trip to Oakland.
