Came in on a Thursday night and had a great evening with delicious food. I don't usually have Italian cuisine but I was in the mood for it, and I'm so glad I gave this place a shot. To me the star of the show is their pizzas; there's a variety of options and they're each made very well. The pizza had a good snap and thin crust- made it addictive; burrata cheese was creamy and the pistachios were a great addition on the mortadella pizza for added texture. Thursday night still had a decent amount of people so it's a little noisy but I could walk in and get a table no problem. Service was super friendly and my waiter patiently and eagerly explained the menu items to us. read more

Food - I thought it was great. Pizza was delicious. The branzino was good. Salad and broccolini were delicious. Wine was good and a generous pour. Service - they were on top of it, and everybody was Italian, which made it feel like you might actually be somewhere in Italy! Ambience - this is where they fell down for me. At these prices, and with this level of quality of food and service, it just felt sort of like being in a cafeteria to me. And we were placed at a table which was super awkward, kind of partly next to a wall, partly not, and one of the waiters for a big table behind us literally bumped into my chair every time he walked by, which was super annoying. They have cheesy plastic cards on the table with a QR code that you're supposed to look at for something... I'm not sure what as they actually hand you a real menu. Tacky. All in all, I'd go back though because the food was really good. Maybe try sitting outside and see how the outside patio feels. read more

Boyfriend and I were in Redwood City looking for something to eat but couldn't find parking so we went here. Still a little hard to find parking in this area but eventually did find one. It is hard to get a table here without a reservation but luckily, they had first come first serve bar seating so we did not wait long at all. If you do have a big party, I suggest making a reservation. The inside is beautifully decorated and great for date night or group outing. They had outdoor street seating and big inside area. The bar was spacious and long splitting the restaurant in half. I believe I saw a spacious area in the back where you can have a big party. We ordered the hot honey pizza (only a daily special item), fettuccine short ribs, and Brussel sprouts. Everything was super tasty. My favorite was the fettuccine short rib and it had good ratio short ribs to fettuccine. I didn't run out of short ribs which was a great sign. Some places give you very little protein with your pasta but not this one. Brussel sprouts were crispy and not soggy at all. 10/10 would come back again. read more

Came in right at 4:30 for happy hour. Some restaurants are very particular about letting me dine indoors with my service dog, but the staff here was friendly about it and very welcoming, which I appreciate. Good to know before going that happy hour is only for the indoor bar area. I got the Gnocchi Sorrentina from the happy hour menu for $12. Large portion and really good sauce. Coming from someone who used to live in Italy, this place is up there for authentic Italian food on the peninsula. read more

Went to dinner on a busy Thursday night. We got seated right away but had to wait for the server to take our order. The potato croquette and Marachiaro (squid ink pasta) was good. Also tried the Diavola pizza, Tiramisu and Hazelnut Tartufo desert were delicious. The desert portion is small. The place is nice and lively. read more

Food was ok but service was nonexistent. From the moment we walked in, we waited for the hostess to get off the phone. When he finally acknowledged we were there, he disappeared I guess to check on the table and we waited longer...so long another server came by and asked if we needed help? Our res was 4:30pm so didn't expect to even have to wait. We were seated in the back, we had several small kids and I asked about where to park the stroller and was met with some ridiculous comment how it was "the size of a car" or something we ended up tucking the stroller in the back. San Carlos is very family-oriented so good luck with that attitude! Server came by, forgot my drink, we ordered two pizzas and a salad to start. Food came fast. The sausage pizza was good, the margarita one was ok, the mushroom was probably one of the more filling and flavorful ones. The short rib ragu was simple. Salad was ok. I wasn't blown away by any of the dishes but literally had to flag down the maitre d and servers every time we needed water, utensils, more food. It was comical. I actually apologized because I felt like I kept bugging them. Overall, I was disappointed in the service. Food was ok. I'm not sure I would go back. read more

My husband, our two kids and myself enjoyed lunch here on Monday. There is not a printed kids menu but they had so many options for the kids to pick from.

4.5 for sure! Pizza was so good! 5 stars. A pizza is a must. Their prices are the 4 stars. They are a bit too high, to me. Beet appetizer was good. Our waitress was 5 star+. She was great!

This was our 2nd time dining here and 3rd time if you include take out. I came here with my wife for my bday dinner. We arrived an hour early than our reservation time and was greeted by a friendly team. They seated us right away in the area we requested which was the side next to the bar. We love the energy and ambiance of that side more than the main room, which is also well designed but a bit different vibe. Since it was my birthday, we decided to order 3 dishes vs our usual 2. We ordered the squid ink pasta with clams and scallops, the short rib pasta, and the margarita pizza. Squid Ink Pasta- the seafood was super fresh and the sauce really complimented the pasta and seafood. My wife and I would have like the pasta a little more al dente but still really good. I also prefer a bit more squid ink for the seafood and tartness it brings. Other than that, the dish was balanced with the creamy spicy red sauce and the buttery scallops and perfectly cooked clams. Short Rib Pasta- this dish is consistently good. It was our second time ordering it and it did not disappoint. I like that the ribs were shredded into the sauce but still had texture and its own flavor. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce had the right amount of acidity to balance out the dish. The short rib was tender and added the richness and the pasta was a great vehicle for enjoying that. Portion was generous so we had leftovers. Margarita Pizza- pizza in its purest form. This is always something we order here. Whether to go or dine in, the pizza dough, sauce and cheese always deliver. There was a nice chew with the dough while also have the char and smoke that we like. There was the perfect amount of sauce, cheese and basil so it wasn't super watery or soggy. Probably our favorite pizza for this style. We also like the fungi pizza from Delfina in Burlingame but the texture on dough is different. Pausa was too salty and not smoky enough for us. Tiramisu- not pictured but they surprised us and comped us our dessert which was tiramisu. The flavors and texture were good. Only critique is for the lady fingers, to not have sugar sprinkled on it. It made the dish a bit too sweet and the crunchy texture of the sugar took away from the dish. The custard and espresso and chocolate were great. The service was good but judging by how busy they were, definitely could use some more staff. All in all, a great experience again and a memorable birthday. Thanks! read more

Ambiance is fantastic- I'd go back simply for the light and breezy feel of the place. I took my parents for their anniversary lunch and it was a wonderful experience. I really appreciate the two clearly labeled vegan entrees- ravioli and pizza. Couple areas of improvement- while the broccolini and fries starters were amazing, the vegan entrees were quite bland. Definitely could use more flavor- that being said, I got some Calabrian chilies on the side and that really brightened up the dish. Secondly, I wonder what was going on with the service because the restaurant was only maybe 20% full but service was slow, forgetful, and lacked attention to details. We ordered a second glass of wine and it never came and we ignored it, but it was on the bill. I pointed it out and they were super apologetic and said they'd take it off, but when they ran my card it was the same wrong amount. It then took them another 20 minutes to figure out their system and fix it. I'd come back- the servers were very nice and I'd honestly give the benefit of the doubt that maybe today was just weird. read more

Beautiful inside and out -- this is the kind of place that works for everything from a casual brunch to a fancy romantic dinner. Definitely a spot you can dress up for if you want to. The space is huge, with plenty of indoor seating and a large, dog-friendly outdoor patio. Their squid ink pasta seems to be a favorite here, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. I also loved that they offer a nice variety of mocktails for non-alcoholic folks like me. And yes -- everything here is super Instagrammable, which is always a bonus. The service was very attentive. Overall, it's one of those "can't go wrong" spots in San Carlos -- perfect for all-day meals or even just as a meeting place. I'll be back for late afternoon small bites next time I'm in the area. Perfect for: anything from brunch with friends to a romantic date night -- versatile, stylish, and welcoming. read more

Came here on a weekday with family few weeks ago. I also came here last year one time but never had the chance to write a review till now. Parking was easy to find on the streets. We got seated indoors since it was pretty hot that day. We got here right around opening too so barely any customers which was nice. (I'm sure they are super busy at night though) What we ordered: Nectarine salad: So delicious and refreshing to eat on a hot summer day. I am a huge arugula leaf fan so I was excited to try this and it was soooo good. Def a must order! Figs pizza: Mhmm figs + prosciutto! It can't get any better than that. Soooooo good!! Lots of flavor and makes my mouth watery every time I see a photo of it. Overall service & food was great. The waiters came by to check on us, fill our water cups etc. Definitely will be back again soon! read more

delicious modern italian spot! perfect for date night or a nice occasion. i went with a large group for a corporate lunch and while the food was awesome, the wait was not. we waited over an hour for just the drinks to arrive and even longer for the food. we only had one server for a group of 30+, and the long wait times were unfortunate for our midday lunch. the lasagna was hearty and well seasoned. the salmon was also well cooked and delicious. the appetizers (brussel sprouts with bacon and arugula salad) were all phenomenal. lastly, the mocktails were beautiful and tasty! overall, i would give doppio zero another chance with a normal sized group! ps: the floors were super slippery, it seemed like they had been just cleaned or waxed -- i was slipping all over the place and had to be super careful when walking around! read more

Food was okay. Just meh. Not amazing. Service was ok. No complaints with service. The music playing outside did not go with the ambiance. Played punk or scream-o type. Weird. Couldn't really enjoy a glass of wine with that music. Probably won't return. If you want a nice meal and a good drink, my preference is Towns. read more

We came on a saturday night and it was pretty lively. The staff was very attentive and welcoming as soon as we came in. Our waitress was extremely sweet and had great recommendations. The food was so delicious. The brusell sprouts were flavorful and crunchy. My favorite dish was the fettucine short ribs. The pasta was al dente just how I like it and the short ribs gave it that wow factor and it just melted in your mouth. The drinks were good as well! The drink I got had a consistency that reminded me of orange juice but it was still balanced well with flavor read more

Another fantastic Italian choice in the Bay Area. This is my third time here, but my first review. If you go, please start slow, take your time, and enjoy some wine and appetizers. Start with some olives and the fried artichoke. It's a Roman specialty and Dopio Zero does it well. Tonight my group had the gnocchi, fettuccini with short rib sauce, and a pizza -- all were spot on. I know I raved about another Bay Area spot fur pizza, but Dopio makes a fantastic Neapolitan style pizza. Gnocchi isn't my first choice fur Italian food, but I really enjoyed what we had tonight. If you're in asan Carlos, don't miss Dopio Zero. read more

Great vibes and delicious food! I really enjoyed the pizza, truffle fries, and croquette that my friends and I got. Service was fast, we got seated pretty quickly and our good came out pretty fast also. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, good quality. Parking is pretty easy because there is street parking and there's also a garage in the back. I definitely would come back here again or eat here if I'm ever in the area read more

I heard great things about Doppio and wanted to give this location a try. May be I came with great expectations, and walked out feeling just another ordinary place. I love squid ink pasta and I would order this everytime I see this on the menu. When comparing theirs with my regular go-to place, mine was much better. While their pasta was al dente, but i felt another 30 sec would do the trick. In terms of the sauce and the level of spiciness, they were also a tad behind. Also, the clams weren't thorough cleaned and I had to spit out a couple. While I didn't try their pizza, but it looked great. read more

I've never had truffle fries better than Doppio's. The fries are thin, crispy, and have a strong truffle flavor. (I believe) Their ketchup is house made and very good. Pizza has a good toppings to dough ratio. The crust is crispy, airy, and delicious. The only thing is that the bottom dough gets soggy, but it's not really an issue in my opinion. Food is on the pricier end if that's a concern. The service is always great at Doppio, and they are very attentive. The restaurant is modern and fits any occasion. Overall, great spot and I definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Pros: great service, decent ambiance, house red was good. Cons: brussels sprouts needed more pancetta, bread was stale, pasta was much too al dente. Only 2 bathroom unigender stalls --so the line was 10 deep, bit pricey. Would not recommend or return with the other choices available. Note: I gave the SF location 5 stars. read more

I've only ever had takeout from Doppio Zero but the food is very good. For pizzas, I really enjoy the creative flavors and the pillowy, chewy pizza crust. So far, I've tried the margherita, fungo, fig & proscuitto and nduja & broccoli rabe but the mortadella is by far my favorite. So good... and all are best eaten immediately. The salads are also great and I really love that lemon honey thyme vinaigrette. It's delicious. read more

Was looking for a spot to dine for late lunch and came across this spot in downtown San Carlos area. I have dined at a similar restaurant before in a different location, so first time to try them in San Carlos. The ambiance is elegant and catchy. The place is clean, fresh with gorgeous design. They have both indoor and outdoor dinning. The host was friendly and accommodating and he was able to seat me to a table quickly. It was almost nearing the time of their afternoon closing in preparation for thier dinner, he explained that to me so I immediately elected to order my drink, my meal and dessert. My server was prompt and helpful. My drink aperole spritz was perfectly refreshing and my gnochi pasta was tasty and delicious as well as my desert was really good too! I enjoyed my time and will definitely return another time. read more

Doppio Zero popped up on my Instagram feed that they offer truffle fettucine made in a cheese wheel on Tuesdays! So I check their website to confirm, and there it is, Fettucini Tartufo Nero for $36. My ten year old daughter loves this dish! The only place we've ordered it from was Eataly, which is all the way in Santa Clara. I was so excited to bring the family so we get to the restaurant last Tuesday at 5pm to take advantage of the Happy Hour menu and my daughter ends up in tears when the host informs us that there is no truffle pasta today and that the website is not up to date!!! What a disappointment! We decided to dine at Doppio Zero anyways since we were already there. I must say they have an incredible Happy Hour menu! Cocktails are $3 off and wines by the glass are $4 off! We ordered the truffle French fries, arugula salad, croquettes, polpettine (meatballs in a spicy tomato sauce), gnocchi, and two pizzas-a margherita and one with chorizo. The menu said the pizzas were 6", but they were more like 8" or 9." It was a total bargain for all that food, plus drinks for about $100! Food was great and so was the service! My disappointed daughter even loved the gnocci, which was served carbonara style. We'll definitely be back! I'll just call next time to make sure they have the truffle pasta dish!!! read more

This was my first time at Doppio Zero San Carlos, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. For a table of three, we ordered a well-balanced spread: a salad, a pasta, and two pizzas to share--and we devoured almost everything (just one lonely slice of pizza made it home). The Beet Salad was a standout starter--fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. I especially loved the creamy cheese paired with the sweetness of the roasted beets and citrus notes. The Figs White Pizza was hands down my favorite dish of the night. Sweet figs, savory cheese, and just the right amount of bite--it was that perfect combo of salty and sweet that keeps you reaching for another slice. We also tried the Fettuccine with Short Rib, which was rich, hearty, and beautifully cooked. The pasta was fresh and the meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender. The Jalapeño Pizza had a nice kick but not too spicy. I liked it but did not LOVE. It. Drinks-wise, I couldn't resist the Dragon Aperol Spritz--so good I had to order a second. Refreshing, slightly bitter, and perfectly balanced. Not too sweet, and it paired great with everything on the table. The only downside: our table was right next to the kitchen, and it got noticeably warm at times. But Overall, the experience was great: friendly service, food that impressed, and a cool, modern vibe. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu! read more

Came in for lunch based on recommendations from a colleague. Was seated immediately and water delivered. Small menu for lunch so I got the meatballs, gotta try meatballs in any Italian place, and the squid ink pasta with scallops and clams. Meatballs were delicious, so much like homemade from my youth. Pasta was delicious, clams cooked perfectly, it stuck to the shells, scallops were cut into pieces but cooked well. Little spicy, really tasty. Pasta cooked perfectly as well. It's nice inside, very bright and open. Full bar as well. read more

Doppio zero has tasty food and decent service. I went for a friend's birthday party and we had to wave down our server on more than one occasion. This upscale Italian spot has nice ambiance and homemade pasta at a reasonable price. I had the doppio bourbon as a drink and it was...interesting. A sangria of sorts but you get to chose how much (and when) to add the wine. It was pretty strong though so that was a plus. In terms of food, I tried the meatballs (3.5/5; nothing special. Sauce needed more flavor), croquettes (4/5; decent. Basically fried mashed potatoes), truffle fries (4.5/5; nice flavor but a little oily), short rib fettuccini (4.5/5, very flavorful with a good portion), and my main was the marechiaro (4.25/5; a squid ink pasta was clams and scallops in a tomato sauce. This dish was quite flavorful and the seafood was plentiful but I honestly felt a bit hungry when I finished). Overall, I had a good meal at doppio zero and the food was reasonably priced (for the area) but the service and cake fee ($2 per slice for a cake we brought!) soured my experience a bit. read more

Amazing wide selection of pizzas and appetizers/pastas, there's something for everyone here! The restaurant is beautiful and has a lively chatter, perfect for a birthday or fun night out. For appetizers we got the Polettine (meatballs), little gem salad (basically a Caesar), and Crostone del Vesuvio. The crostone was a let down, it wasn't bad but there just wasn't much depth of flavor. Pretty much just tasted like buratta with a little salt. La Carne pizza was great, but we asked for some fresh basil and they charged us $1.50 for 5 leaves... I loved my mushroom ravioli w truffle sauce, it was so rich, but here are my criticisms. First off, I think it was overcooked. Not sure if ravioli isn't supposed to be al dente but this definitely was not. And secondly, the flavor is so rich and the texture so monotonous that without taking bites of other people's food in between, it felt exhausting to eat. I would order again, but request it cooked less. read more

This place is really good! We had been to the location in San Francisco and love it. We stopped by here around 830pm on Saturday night and luckily it wasn't too busy that we were able to get seated outside right away. The weather was perfect too so it wasn't too cold to enjoy our food outside. Parking is on the street but we were able to find it right away. We ordered a fig and prosciutto pizza, wild boar fettuccini, and dragon aperol spritz. Everything was really tasty and came out fast! Good thing because we were really hungry! This spot is a must try! read more

Worst pizza I've ever had. The crust is insanely disproportionate to the toppings and cheese. We're talking 12" pizza with 4 inches of it being crust. Their sauce is too wet so you can't pick up a slice without everything falling off, and the bottom is soggy. Sad excuse for "pizza" in any sense of the word. Maybe a wet flatbread pseudo-pizza at best. And we ordered two different pizzas which both suffered the same fatal flaws. In my daughter's words "it's soggy and doesn't have any flavor" read more

Nothing bad, just nothing really good about this experience, either. Grateful I came with a giftcard as I would have been sour to spend $100 of my own money, I think. Pros: Bustling! I liked that there were friends, families and people on dates here. It was a very nice place to see and be seen. They also put the heater out on the patio cause I was cold and the service was nice if not a little frantic. Cons: Price. I just didnt think it was worth the price for the dishes we got. Ordered a pizza and the bison pasta and neither had very good or punchy flavors and the cocktail came with Shutter Home wine. This is a wild choice for this being one of the biggest wine regions in the world. Like, this is below "well" in my opinion as far as wine goes, I would never order a glass of it knowingly. IDK, truly nothing wrong, just also wouldnt go back? read more

The highlights were the entrees and super attentive service. We really enjoyed the... Fungo pizza: Wild Mushrooms, goat cheese, Fontina cheese, thyme, truffle oil, Italian chilies and Marechiaro: Homemade squid ink tagliolini, jumbo scallops, clams, roasted garlic, in light spicy tomato sauce. We were disappointed with the Nectarine Salad: Organic Arugula, Nectarine, Goat Cheese, Pumpkin Seeds, Lemon Honey Thyme Vinagrette. It lacked flavor and was mostly lightly seasoned arugula. We'll be back to try other dishes. read more

Came in with a party of 2 on a Saturday at around 1pm and were sat down immediately for inside seating. The traffic around this time was pretty chill, not crowded at all for inside seating. We got cocktails, apps, and two pizzas, and had a great time! Service was reasonably fast and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the Vesuvio pizza that I got! It's super juicy, creamy, and definitely crave-worthy.I was wondering why this pizza was under the "Red Pizza" section when I didn't see any red, but it was a good thing that I had pictures of the menu for me to realize later that they use yellow tomato puree. Super good! The cocktail I got was super pretty and instagrammable. I was surprised that the restaurant wasn't busier, this location gives off modern/trendy brunch vibes. I had a great time, would love to visit again! read more

I like the food here which is why I'm still giving three stars but was super disappointed in the service we received on Valentine's Day. While I understand that the restaurant was extremely busy it felt like our waitress was annoyed to serve us. When I asked some questions on the menu on some dietary restrictions as I'm currently pregnant she didn't know the answer and responded with a lot of attitude like it was a nuisance to have to go check with the kitchen. Similarly when the bill came for me to sign she was standing over my shoulder and told me I needed to hurry because she had to give the machine back to another colleague which made me super uncomfortable and feel rushed even though I took less than 30 seconds to calculate the tip on my phone. Overall it really soured our meal which is really disappointing as we were just trying to enjoy a nice meal with no kids. read more

I am a big fan of Doppio Zero and nice to see them in more locations. I was here with a big group based on my recommendation. Sadly, it was an off night and though everyone had a good time overall because of the company, the food was not that great. I stuck with my usual Fungo pizza which was too doughy, just like the others who got also got pizza. The calzone was doughy too and flavorless... the pastas were meh too. This was the entire group's feedback. There were a lot of leftovers and something tells me it is all going in the garbage. Service was ok but slow and distracted. read more
