The staff delivered the food as soon as it comes out of the kitchen and the food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the Carbonara with bucatini, pancetta, percorino cheese and topped with a soft fried egg $15. This was so delicious and flavorful. The hand crafted Pasta was sooo good. The combination of the soft egg yolk, the savory pancetta and sheep's milk cheese bought this pasta to a whole another level. The same can be said about the Burrata Panzanella $16 made with heirloom tomatoes and tossed in a sherry vinaigrette was sooo good. I could really taste the clean freshness and quality of the ingredients. Overall, a really bright modern interior, with good quality food at great prices. They specialize in handcrafted pasta, so pastas are a must order. Definitely will return when back in the area. I'm hoping Grassa will come to the Bay Area soon too.

I recommend it to everyone who asks where they should go eat! Can't wait to go back.

Already had my menu items picked out but was lured by the grilled peach and burrata. THE martini was the best I've ever had and I saved a bit of the olive to put on top of my olive oil cake which I highly recommend. Let's just pause and give thanks to whoever prepared the short rib pappardelle. I'd kiss you if I could because that was perfection. The flavor of the smoked short rib. The timed noodles. The light yet hearty sauce. The little crisp of bread crumb on the top. I literally had to pause and just savor that bite. Muah. Muah. Muah. The olive oil cake literally had drips of olive oil which I loved and paired with the lightly toasted hazelnuts...... just yes.

The customer service was excellent too! We were given some amazing suggestions on which pizzas we should try. When our pizza was finished it was brought outside to us and we were told it would be best to try it fresh. Since we were going to be walking down the street to our hotel we did as we were told and we're glad we did. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant as well. It's such a cute business. It's a great place for a date night. If you're looking for good pizza, great customer service and a romantic atmosphere try MUCCA you won't be disappointed.

If I love you, really love you, I have taken you to Piazza Italia…read more Let me explain: this is real deal Italian. I've been to southern Italy (Amalfi Coast) and the authenticity shines through. Piazza's menu is northern Italian and traditional the Italian American marriage we all know and love. It's what Olive Garden promises: to treat you like an Italian family member. When you walk in most of the employees snipe at each other in Italian. Cured meats hang from the ceiling and soccer plays in the background. That's like every actual Italian restaurant I've been to. Their wine list is simple and ultimately not that impressive. It's there to accentuate the food. They have a solid spritz. Whether you choose a dish with fresh pasta or dried (they serve both, depending on the dish) it'll be prepared beautifully. I've been coming here for years and I've tried nearly every one on the menu. Last night I even shook it up and got it delivered: the quality still held. One thing to know: that dish that in essence looks like carbonara is NOT carbonara. It is delicious, but be advised it contains ribbons of actual egg.

Walking in, the vibe felt a bit frantic with a bunch of people running around and a lack of overall awareness to the people walking in. There were a couple larger parties there at the time. Eventually we were seated at a 2 top near the bar. Food overall I was a bit disappointed by. We went with the special carbonara like dish and it was heavy, dense, and packed with onions. I understand the use of cream and cheese in these dishes but it lacked some freshness that I would have hoped from a classic spot such as this. Maybe there's some better dishes to order but our first impression was not great.

I prefer the chicken breaded (that might not be authentic, I don't know), but here I couldn't tell if it was. Also, it was kinda tough. That said, the bread was crisp, the cheese gooey, the sauce tangy. Real good, I'd order it again. Friendly service, but I don't care for the ordering kiosk. I didn't see any hand sanitizer. I wanted to try the arancini, but they only sell them in a large order. It was just me so a sandwich and all that arancini would have been too much, and the remainder taken home wouldn't reheat well. I wish there was the option of ordering just one when getting an entree.

We had the beet salad to start which was just perfect. The truffle burrata mousse was something I've never had before and it added a light creaminess to the dish.

Gnocchi was killer and the pizza was pretty good. The service was absolutely meh. We watched a table seated after us get drinks and salads before we even gave our drink order, and they got their meals before we ordered. We were pretty excited to order and stoked for the food here, so the meh service was really a bummer. We also were seated in the back, and it was really hot in that room. If I had it to do over again, I'd request the restaurant area up front. Overall, we'd go back to give it another go. But there was room for improvement for sure.
