The food here is interesting and very well prepared. It's not exactly your spaghetti and red sauce place but the food will feel familiar and comforting. The services friendly and the waitstaff is knowledgeable about the food and wine. When crowded, it's definitely on the noisy side.

The pork belly appetizer was superb. The fresh little gem salad was creative and delicious and you can't go wrong with duck confit hash. Had a lovely bottle of Italian white wine as well. A fantastic Sunday brunch!

We live in S.F., but would be regulars if we lived in the East Bay. Consistently excellent over the years; great value; a neighborhood gem.
