I have not been there since they are first opened. Went on saturday night dinner. 1) same nice decor, clean, modern look 2) Waitress is attentive and nice 3) Ordered Gaupacho cold tomatoes soup very tasty 4) ordered mushroom pizza, I have more high expectation, somehow, when they first opened, I felt their pizza is better than saturday. 5) ordered Gnocchi in pesto sauce, very tasty according to my husband. 6) dessert tiramishi's size is very big, good value. read more

First time at Creekwood today and everyone enjoyed their meals. Very easy to make a reservation via calling in. I came in with a group of 6 for my mom's bday and was greeted promptly by staff. We started with the Brussel sprouts and shishito peppers. I got the crab ravioli and they were nicely stuffed with crab. I tasted the pappardelle and next time would get this over the ravioli or try one of the pizzas. The flourless chocolate cake was great, light and not too sweet. The salted caramel and Oreo gelato were tasty as well. Service was nice but we didn't get checked on after all the food arrived. Indoor and outdoor seating available Street parking only read more

I had the absolute pleasure of trying Creekwood after finding it on OpenTable. I had never heard of the restaurant until making the reservation. I was so pleasantly surprised by how absolutely amazing the food was. I told the server who also happened to be one of the owners that the short rib was a dish that I will dream about. The restaurant atmosphere is great, the food is to die for, and the entire staff was amazing. I will most definitely be put back to try more things on the menu and of course to order the short rib again. read more

The service was ok but due to the placement of the store we weren't served as needed. Also some of the menu had different items so it wasn't consistent. The pizza was not good. The sauce was watery and the cheese didn't pull well. The bread was too thick and not too our liking. The gnocchi was good! It was chewy and thick. The pesto was always good flavor but a little oily. The ribeye was ok not our favorite it was just meat. Overall the experience is ok and definitely probably not coming back but maybe since it seems that the menu changes. read more

Came to Creekwood few weekends ago while I was in the area. This place was recommended by a friend that lives in the area and it did not disappoint! We made a quick reservation via OpenTable on a Saturday brunch around 11:45am. Parking wasn't too bad either and parked in the neighborhood area. My friends and I split the eggs Benedict, the sandwich and the Brussels sprouts! Everything was cooked to fresh and delicious! read more

I read the reviews and was prepared for a home cooked meal. I selected the Petrale sole from the menu. It was listed as a large plate, priced at $36. The portion was on a small side. The sole was plain, flavorless wrapped in batter (looks like it was made from a frozen sole filet), it was served over runny mashed potatoes, asparagus was boiled to the point it lost texture. It really did not give the vibe of farm-to-table ingredients and the presentation was not appealing. For that price I was expecting "Skates on the Bay" experience and presentation. On a positive side the staff was really nice and attentive. But I will not recommend this place for the food or the ambiance. read more

Great ambiance and service. In a less glamorous part of Berkeley. Italian with some surprises.

house made gnocchi was incredibly soft and paired perfectly with the creamy basil pesto. I enjoyed a fantastic dinner here and will definitely come back. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food was good. We ordered the crab ravioli which is offered as an appetizer with 3 raviolis or dinner entree with 5 raviolis. Pretty good and came with plenty of sauce which we actually ended up using as a dipping sauce for our pizza. Just wish this dish had a little kick. That would have nudged my rating from a 4 to a 5! The pizza was good as well. We ordered the prosciutto di san Daniele pizza which came with mozzarella, Parmesan, lots of arugula and lemon zest. I think the sauce base was olive oil maybe? Which made the pizza feel light, not to heavy as we were eating it. Little gem salad was probably my favorite dish of the 3 we ordered. Was perfectly coated with the crème fraught vin dressing. The pancetta bits provided a nice touch of saltiness to each bite. I think I would order this appetizer again next time. Service was great and so was the ambiance. read more

We had a really disappointing meal here after a previously delicious one. Really mediocre food that is expensive. I love the flourless chocolate cake, but that's all I will be back for. It's just too expensive for them to be hit or miss. Not sure what the issue is but with the current restaurant prices I feel for places that aren't consistent. Bummed but can't risk spending over $100 for 2 people in a blah meal. read more

The Creekwood manager was very flexible to accommodate our last minute party size changes. The service was excellent, attentive, and very patient while we waited for all of our party to arrive. We never felt rushed. We were celebrating our friend's 80th birthday and selected Creekwood due to the positive reviews on Yelp and OpenTable. I was looking for a place that was more personable, where we would be able to hear each other talking. Creekwood has a nice and varied menu. We decided to eat family style so that we could try a variety of dishes. We ordered PEI mussels, Burrata, Little Gems Salad, and Brussel Sprouts small dishes to start. The mussels were tender and flavorful. The Burrata was delicious and fresh. The brussel sprouts were perfectly prepared and was a generous portion. We ordered the Gnocchi large plate and the Mushroom pizza. The gnocchi was soft and pillowy and the basil pesto was devine. The mushroom pizza didn't disappoint either. I wished we could have tried more dishes! Thank you Creekwood for a memorable meal and evening! read more

Creekwood is the hot and new sexy Italian spot smack dab between Bushrod/North Oak and SW Berk. Came by for a walk-in dinner with a good friend and we were lucky to score a table outdoors. Sounds like it's a spot where most people have reservations. We were flanked by tables of larger (3+) parties, and most people had delicious appetizers and gorgeous pizza's on their tables which made our mouths water instantly. They have a full drink menu on one side and food on the other--PAPER MENUS TOO! No QR, what a TBT pre-COVID times. We easily chose their mushroom pizza (Enoki) and their red-sauce fettucine with broccolini. Great choices for non-meat eats too, which was what we had! The flavors worked perfectly, the truffle mushroom was A VIBE so delicious and savory. The pizza crust is on the thinner side, almost like Naples style. I wish it came out hotter, and the texture was on the dry-er side. Their fettucine noodle was perfectly al dente and I love the uniqueness of a red sauce base. The ingredients are very fresh and we loved that service was so friendly and attentive without being obtrusive. Shoutout to the sweet gentlemen who kept refilling our waters. Of note, they're dog-friendly on their outdoor patio WITH warm overhead heaters! Outdoor seating is close to the street, but not too much so where you feel like a safety hazard. Parking is hit or miss, as you'll probably have to get residential parking, but it gets tough during dinnertime since you're vying for spots with the locals. Awesome spot for date night or gathering with your pals that gives a neighborhood/"down the street" feel with a pinch of elevated aesthetic. read more

Second time dining at Creekwood and it is just such a gem. We got the mussels and could not get enough of their sauce on perfect ACME bread, and the petrale sole dish was faultless and delightful. Their desserts were perfect last time but good luck saving room. Service was excellent and very quick in a packed restaurant. Will be back! read more

Oh my! Creekwood is an Italian restaurant that does it all right from my experience in Italy! Service was welcoming, prompt and friendly . We ordered the Caesar salad with anchovies, mushroom pappardelle and fresh oysters with mignonette. Everything was expertly prepared and served Italian style. Pasta was definitely house made and delicious. Caesar was the best I've had in long time as most restaurants do not serve with anchovies which I love in my Caesar salad, we had the customary bread and butter that was delectable and the wine I believe Verdacchio was excellent. We plan to come back again, very soon read more

Friendly service, delicious soup, crab cakes, short ribs, busy and beautiful place on a Friday at dinner time. We will be back!

If you enjoy perfectly cooked/al dente pasta, Creekwood is the spot for you! They were crazy busy at 7:45pm on a Saturday, and it looked like they were completely packed- reservations are highly recommended, or coming in early. Luckily, they were still allowing takeout orders on Toast, and it was about a 30 minute wait for an order placed at 7:15pm. My order was ready when I arrived, and I tried their Cameroni (Pork Sausage Ragu, Broccolini, Pecorino, $25, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=kWjRkEZ0chDHZMKq8sxYnA&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg), which was very flavorful. I really enjoyed the combination of ingredients, and their pasta seemed fresh- recommended! I would come back to try their pizzas as well as the burrata, rib eye, cheese burger, and fried chicken sandwich. I believe only indoor seating was available. Parking in this area is difficult, and there didn't seem to be much street parking available at that time. read more

I appreciate that Creekwood takes reservations for weekend brunch. Restaurant was packed. We were seated immediately, service was quick and the food was great.

Creekwood - An utterly perfect breakfast sandwich, served with a side of crispy, creamy potatoes. - Italian Near Me - Berkeley, California

2 stars, I really wanted to like this place but it just wasn't good. Side of fries 5/5: this was the only good thing I got. The fries were perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the side. It also came with what I believe is a garlic aioli which paired perfectly. Hands down the best fries I've ever had! Ribeye 1/5: the meat was so fatty, and had this awful sauce poured all over it. When the dish came out, it was visually unappealing and unfortunately it tasted as bad as it looked. There was no crust on the steak, it tasted like it was boiled. The best thing about this dish was the crispy fingerling potatoes as the side. Flourless chocolate cake 3/5: this was just okay. Super chocolately and rich. It tasted like an average brownie. The sodas here are really crisp sorta like McDonald's and the fries are great. However everything else fell short. Also while I was here, someone( I believe the manager) accidentally knocked something over and had a poor attitude about it to his employees. I could overhear the entire conversation and it didn't give me a good impression. For the price, the quality isn't there and the food is below average. read more

stamina across this place fabulous food, fabulous wine, and amazing service. We'll go again.

Most of the time when a restaurant gives you so many different options, the food tends to not be great. This isn't an issue for Creekwood. 5 of us went to dinner and had a great experience. The service was great and the food was excellent. We had the sausage pizza, the pork chop, the cameroni and gnocchi, meat balls and muscles as well. The prices were reasonable. We will return! read more

Ordered the pesto gnocchi and it looked amazing and was prepped very well. But I think the gnocchi pieces were too big and there wasn't nearly enough pesto sauce for me; not a single piece was fully covered in the pesto sauce. in fact not even half was covered in sauce. It's a shame too because if the gnocchi were smaller (like all good gnocchi in Napa and SF) and if it actually had sauce then it would be FIRE !!! who knows maybe yall will see this and fix it ! lol if you do will come all the time and so will others ! read more

They were busy at 6 pm but managed to seat 3 of us. Service was quick, friendly and helpful. We ordered the Italian, funghi and prosciutto pizzas and beet and Caesar salads. The salads are shareable and pizzas were more than enough for three people. read more

First time here and definitely want to go back soon. The service was great and the ambiance very pleasant. The pasta was fresh and delicious! I could have eaten two servings! My friend tried the pizza and she said it was delicious too. The burrata salad was ok. The burrata was not that creamy and the tomatoes were too chunky for my taste. It didn't have any balsamic either. The bread was AMAZING though. read more

We always love going to Creekwood! The food is consistently excellent and creative. We love to order their Brussells sprouts, mussels, black cod, corn & asparagus pizza and hamburger.

I had a hard time deciding where to take a good friend for a very belated Birthday dinner on short notice and after a lot of back and forth I decided on Creekwood. It turned out to be a great decision! Our party had the Little Gems Salad, Burrata, Gnocchi, Cameroni, Wagyu Ribeye and the Corn & Broccolini Pizza. All of the items were between a very good to excellent at a reasonable price point. The show stopper to which my party of 4 agreed was the Gnocchi with Pesto. This was far and away the best Gnocchi I've ever had in my life.. The pesto and seared pillowy potato dumplings were mind blowingly delicious.. The 14oz Wagyu Ribeye at $68 is frankly a bargain in the bay area and something that can easily be shared by two people. The service at Creekwood was exemplary. Out server for the evening was polite, efficient and borderline telepathic... I'm already looking forward to my second visit... Keep up the Great Work Creekwood! 5 Stars All Day! PS: Corkage Fee is $30 read more

the food was good no complaints I requested the fettuccine with a white sauce Instead of red. you could taste the distinct flavors it tasted like it was made with a white white crab ravioli were very light the muscle sauce was also very light on flavor it tasted like a cream butter service was was prompt they were crowded about an hour after opening but the wait was not long I loved the wine selection as well read more

I went for the first time and had dinner here yesterday. It had been on my list and I'm glad I finally tried it. I made a reservation at 730 on open table and I'm glad I did. The reservation was easy to get on the same day but they were also very busy. The host sat us right away, the server was kind and the food came fairly quickly. We ordered the meatballs to start and they were good, just a little salty. Then I ordered the short rib and my boyfriend ordered the ribeye. Both were perfectly coooked and incredibly tasty. We were too full for dessert but I look forward to coming back and trying more things soon! read more
