                  A great pre-theater option for light bites, sandwiches, and salads. Outside seating is nice mid- afternoon and service was wonderful.

                  We come to Heroic Italian before seeing our play at Berkeley Rep and are always so glad we have chosen to eat here. The salads (this time we did the California Caprese salad - sooo good,, and enough for 2) are always hearty and original. The pinsas are a favorite -- we love the crispy crust and the fresh toppings. Serving is prompt and friendly. (and Berkely Rep patrons get a complimentary glass of Prosecco.). No wonder we keep returning!

                  Great outdoor patio, food was great but service was slow even though we were there right when they opened and we were the only other party on the patio. We had to go inside to ask for the check.

                  Sandwiches are excellent. Pinsas and pastas are pretty good. Ambience on the patio on a sunny day is really nice. Service was very friendly, but slow.

                  We had a very pleasant and satisfying experiencing dining here after Berkeley Rep yesterday. It was almost empty at 6:30 pm, which scared us when we walked in - why aren't other people here? - I don't know why, but for us it was wonderful... Quiet, and we could really talk with one another! The food was delicious, healthy and nicely portioned - not too much or too little. Not super fancy, just interesting flavors and textures, and very reasonably priced. Service was attentive without being intrusive. We were very pleased, and will return!
