From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and elegant. We were seated in the back area, which was stunning and provided the perfect setting for a relaxing family dinner. Our server, Beto, was exceptional. Friendly, genuine, attentive, personable, and welcoming, he made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. As parents of young children, we especially appreciated how quickly everything came out without sacrificing quality. The food was outstanding. I ordered the Laconda salad with salmon (on the side), which was incredibly fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. The special house made gnocchi with various cheeses was fresh and delightful. We also enjoyed a cheese pizza and the spaghetti and meatballs, both of which were delicious and expertly prepared. Every dish tasted authentic, fresh, thoughtful, and full of flavor. What stood out most was how effortless the entire evening felt. Great service, beautiful ambiance, and excellent food came together to create one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. Locanda Capri has firmly reclaimed its place as one of my favorite restaurants in the area. We left happy, impressed, and already looking forward to our next visit. * A special thank you to Beto for making our evening so enjoyable. Outstanding service can elevate a meal, and he did exactly that. *

We had dinner with friends and we were seated at a booth, which are 2 tables pushed together with…read moreeach table having 4 legs. Trying to get situated was difficult trying to maneuver your legs through the legs of the tables. We ordered our drinks, which were enjoyable. Our meals were delivered and there are no complaints. Hot, and very tasty. We were all disappointed in the ambience of the restaurant. There was no light music playing. People were enjoying themselves - some more than others. The restaurant definitely needs noise buffering so patrons can carry on a conversation without having to talk loudly across the table to be heard. Felt almost cafeteria-ish. We won't be back because of this. When paying for a nice dinner, we expected for the surroundings to be enjoyable as well.

It…read morewas such a nice surprise to have a restaurant like this at the streets of Brentwood for once with amazing food and service. Although people post pictures of the food-- the menu is constantly rotating and changing on a day-to-day basis and a seasonal basis so the food you see might not always be the same menu. I really like that because it makes it a consistent date spot because the food is constantly changing and it's a new experience every time. The food itself was amazing because everything's handmade and farm-to-table. Everything is seasoned so nicely, presented, with super fresh quality ingredients. You can tell the kitchen staff are highly trained and have exquisite taste buds. Would recommend for anyone looking for a new date spot, cocktail bar, or special restaurant for a special occasion!

As someone who grew up Sicilian with my Nanu (grandfather) cooking traditional meals, I can…read morehonestly say Caffe Paradiso captured that same authenticity. The flavors were identical to what I grew up with--simple, rich, and full of love. I finally had the honor of trying it for the first time this past May on my birthday, and it instantly felt like home. Walking past recently and seeing the restaurant completely cleaned out was heartbreaking. I truly hope the owners are doing well, because what they created was something special. If they ever decide to reopen--especially in downtown Brentwood--they would absolutely thrive. People that come to downtown Brentwood appreciate authentic, high-quality food, and at the value Caffe Paradiso offered, they would have completely crushed it. Thank you, Caffe Paradiso, for giving me one unforgettable meal that brought me right back to my roots. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that this isn't the end, but just a pause before an incredible comeback.

I love that they have so many pizza options to choose from, and honestly, picking just one is the hardest part! The variety keeps things exciting, especially when you're in the mood to try something different. And the spaghetti deserves some love too! It's the perfect option when you want something comforting and filling alongside your pizza. Everything makes you want to come back and try another combination. MELOS PIZZA is definitely going on my list of places to satisfy my pizza and pasta cravings. Come hungry because choosing what to order might take longer than actually eating it!

Stopped by Melo's for a quick lunch after peach picking at brentwood! When we went it wasn't even…read morenoon yet, so the place was pretty empty. We got the brussels sprouts, prosciutto and arugula pizza, four cheese pizza, and the pasta with bolognese sauce +meatballs. The brussels sprouts was what came first.. appetizer! The outer layers of the brussels sprouts was mostly burnt, while the insides were pretty burnt. I can't blame them though, most restaurants can't do brussels sprouts perfectly. I always order brussels sprouts when I see them on a menu, but very few turn out to be very good. Also, be aware that Melo's go heavy on the vinegar on the brussels sprouts. The prosciutto and arugula pizza was a personal favorite, as I am a great fan of arugula.. gotta love that unique sesame taste! My only complaint is that there is not enough prosciutto in the pizza. I have no complaints for the four cheese pizza! It did not disappoint at all! The cheese is really rich and there's a cheese pull for each slice you pull out. Though a cheese pizza appears to be underwhelming, the four cheese pizza here at melo's is perfectly heavy, and you get a different taste from each bite of your slice! On the other hand, the bolognese sauce and meatballs were not bad, but nothing new. Though the add on of meatballs were 7.50$, we only get two meatballs! Pretty pricey to be, especially cause they're nothing special. Maybe even overcooked, cause they were unnecessarily dense. However, thank you Melo's for a generous amount of pasta sauce, and the consistency of the pasta is perfectly al dente. Melo's, not bad at all!

A little on the salty side but tolerable For improvement: 1. The food (main dishes) took a little longer to serve. Luckily we were busy chitchatting and we had our starters served quicker to tie us up while waiting for our main orders. Our food came good so perhaps you can't rush quality anyway. 2. It looks like it's on the pricey side but if the food is good, it should justify that

The ribs were delicious! I ate all my vegetables even though I usually don't, Lol. The mash potatoes were great too! My man ordered Prime Rib Dip Melt and he loved it. He killed it! I would definitely come back. The environment was nice and the vibe was chill.

I ordered on the Slice App, so it was pretty simple and straightforward for me. Vegetarian Calzone: I am mixed when it comes to eating calzones, but this one was really good.

Still, it was delicious overall and I thoroughly enjoyed what I ate. I can see myself coming back here again.

The caesar salad was just that, I suppose it was okay ‍. Both were presented in a large bowl but there was a lot of "food padding". Now, I was born and raised in San Francisco, so the crab louie threw me off. I'm use to ice berg, egg, tomato and a pile of Dungeness crab. The Dungeness sat on top (not really a lot), then there was iceberg, onion, cucumber, egg, tomato, mushrooms and artichoke (lol). It felt like they threw in everything but the kitchen sink. There was a lot of lettuce piled at the bottom. I didn't eat much, I had to bring it home and try to fix it. The dressing was good, although it was thousand island, which has sweet pickles and traditional louie dressing does not. I would go back and try something else but not the crab louie.
