10. Osteria

Our friendly server set the tone for the evening with her conscientious recital of new specials and attentive but not obsequious care. I had the veal with the Osteria designation; it was an ample portion with garlicky al dente vegetables and polenta while my husband had a goodly portion of ribbon pasta with a meat sauce. Since we split a salad (with anchovies!) and there was a nice basket of warm bread, we were content.I'd suggest reservations as the place is cozy; the chairs make it a little difficult to thread among for wait staff. Note; in the clean but sole bathroom, charming black and white photos of a young Sophia Loren slurping spaghetti greet you. Parking can be difficult in the downtown area; the underground parking under City Hall is immediately adjacent, and usually has space.

Food is decent, service is rushed, careless, ignoring customers. Asked for bread three times to three different waiters, all acknowledged, nobody brought anything. All things considered, quite pricey for a mediocre food and service. I think itâs all about bad management and non professional waiters.

The New York pizza with some additional toppings was a very good traditional pizza. The wings were small, so I suggest the 10 wing order for two folks, but were unique and very tasty, especially with the blue cheese sauce.
7. Pizzeria Delfina

We came on a Saturday night without reservations & luckily got seated within 5 minutes. We sat outside with the overhead heaters. Service was really good. Our server Nick V. was very familiar with what was vegetarian & eggless. We had a napoletana & margherita with mushrooms, along with a grapefruit soda, coke & chocolate pot de creme. The food was excellent. I reserve a 5 start to pizza places if they sustain this on repeat visits, or if they match the quality & taste of the former SF based Una Pizza Napoletana. Having said that, this was the best napoletan pizza places we've been to in a long time. Parking was on the street.

We took our son and his family to dinner at Terun. I started with the beet salad which was delicious...creamy goat cheese, red and golden beets, greens, and a light dressing. I ordered the ravioli which was filled with spinach and had a dollop of burrata cheese on the plate. Great meal but I could have used more than seven ravioli.

This urbane and upscale pizza and Italian small-plates place is something the Peninsula has been waiting for. I'm usually a traditionalist when it comes to pizza toppings, but even their more unusual versions--sausage with honey!--work like a charm and ar

Had high expectations for this popular, upscale pizza place. Was very noisy and crowded mid week. Interesting pizzas with peaches and cherries. Wish the crust was crispy and they turned on the air conditioning on a hot day. Seems like California pizza places under cook their crusts. Good stop after visiting Stanford.

I've taken students in my class here multiple times - at dinner it's probably necessary to have the private room or there's too much noise. Lunch is fairly quite in the main room. The family-style food is excellent for sharing and the large menu offers something for everything. Friendly service, quirky decor, relaxed and fun

Always consistently good, this place is an area institution not to be missed. Their Lasagna, served only Wednesdays and Fridays ranks with the best. They have a stellar wine list and a huge variety of dishes, all of them great. Highly recommended as a staple in anyone's restaurant collection.
