    Lunch special with Mediterranean salad and Italian piadine
    Julia S.

    This restaurant has been here for a long time but I've never tried it. My friend and I came in for the lunch special where you get an app and an entre for about $14. I wouldn't go here if you're looking for something different or special, but my Italian piadine (hot flatbread sandwich melt) was warm and had a decent amount of filling. This place is pretty quiet during weekday lunch so we were well looked after by staff.

    Luncheon special minestrone

    IMHO My friends and I were the first customers and were greeted as we walked in! We chose a booth. These aren't spacious but comfortable enough. I ordered the calamari appetizer ($15), the luncheon special of Caesar salad and Mama's spaghetti & meatballs ($13.50). My friends ordered the luncheon special of Minestrone soup and Mama's spaghetti & meatballs, and a regular entree of meatballs & bread, with a side of Caesar salad. The calamari was good and came with two dipping sauces. I like tentacles and was happy to see them amidst the rings. My spaghetti was a tad light on the sauce which made it dry, and a little too al dente to the bite. I like my spaghetti to be saucy so I asked our server if I could have a small bowl of more sauce. She happily complied and soon my spaghetti was to my liking. Service was nice and friendly. Where I was sitting, it was cold. I had to put my scarf and coat back on to be comfortable. Will I return? Maybe.

    I love this place so much! If you're lucky enough to come on the day the head chef is here, you're in for a treat. I ordered the portobello fettuccini and added sauce... absolutely insane 10/10! I said easy on the sauce and that's what I got, it's simply perfect. Huge pasta! My partner got the Margarita pizza and loved the dough, he said it hit different. Flavorful, crispy and delicious sauce.

    This place has the best drinks and food specials for happy hour. I also like how they have different specials each week so there is also something delicious to try! I enjoy their Angry Shrimp and Blood Orange Manhattens... their rolls are sooooo addicting as well. I recommend coming here for a casual, Italian dinner!

    I'm not sure why they're rated so low, I love this place! I went with my dad this time, and we got their garlic rolls and their onion foccacia bread. Their garlic rolls are thick and satisfying and soo good. Their foccacia wasn't oniony at all admittedly, but it was still good bread. My dad got their shrimp pomodero and he loved it! He got a bunch of shrimp, they didn't skimp out, and usually seafood pastas don't come with tomato sauce, but this one did and it was actually a little spicy. He loved it! I got their cheese ravioli with creamy pesto, and it was great as always. Excuse the bites taken out of the photos lol. For dessert we got their dessert trio-- the cheesecake was solid, the spumoni was sooo good, and the tiramisu was a bit soggy so it wasn't a favorite but we still enjoyed the experience. Service was a bit slow, but we were having a good time and could have gotten our server faster if we needed to. It's a small cozy place and servers are everywhere so if you ever need help, you can always get someones attention.

    This is the BEFORE of fried calamari we were served.

    The main reason for writing this review is for the insulting dish we were served called fried calamari. There isn't much difference between the before and after pictures I posted because there wasn't much difference. The pieces of calamari were smaller than the breading. We had to crush the coating between our fingers to actually find pieces of calamari. If this is the best fried calamari they can do, the should take it off their menu. We were insulted with what they served us. Other parts of our meal.....Mediterranean Salad was tasty. Minestrone had the usual vegetables but the broth/sauce tasted only of sweetened canned tomatoes, no garlic,, no onion, no spices. Meatballs were average at best. Pizza dough/crust was very good.

    Detroit style square pizza!
    Anthony R.

    Been going to Tomatina's for 20 years ago. Food and atmosphere has always been great. What I wanna talk about is this seasonal item: Tomatina's Detroit style pizza IS THE BIZNESS! It's a lil shorter in height than what I'm used to eating in terms of Detroit style pizzas but the burnt cheese across the crust is AMAZING! It's crispy and flaky after each bite. Make sure to eat it fresh, don't bring it home (if u do air fry it!) Add this permanently to the menu and I'll definitely be there often!

    Baked Penne Bolognese
    John L.

    Not sure why Tomatina has only a 3 star rating on Yelp. Tomatina is good Italian restaurant with good prices and good quality of food. This restaurant is good for a family dinner night or even a date night. I had the Baked Penne Bolognese which was very good. My wife had the Chicken Marsala and she really enjoyed that. The service was really good as well. We had a very large party and our server took really care of our group. We will definitely comeback again.

We walked in around 8 p.m. on a Friday night without a reservation and were seated right away, though it was clearly busy--definitely recommend making a reservation, especially if you're planning to go earlier on a weekend evening. We started with a bottle of wine, and they bring out complimentary bread with an olive oil mix (dangerous if you're like me and can easily fill up on the free bread). We shared the Insalata Cesare, which they thoughtfully split for us without even asking--such a nice touch. For dinner, we ordered the Gnocchi alla Genovese and the Gamberi e Calamari Fra Diavola, and it was the perfect combo. We originally considered two pasta dishes, but I'm so glad we didn't--it would've been way too filling. The pasta was incredibly fresh and packed with flavor, and as a basil lover, this dish absolutely hit the spot. The seafood was also delicious, fresh, and perfectly cooked, and it came with a side of veggies and roasted potatoes that rounded everything out nicely. They also have both a side patio and a front patio with seating, which appeared to be heated--such a great option and would have been lovely to sit outside as well. We loved everything about this experience and will definitely be back soon!

I made a reservation for a Thursday evening, and even though it's right in the heart of downtown, we were lucky and managed to find street parking in front of the restaurant with free EV charging! Right when we stepped in, the interior is decked out in a modern art deco style. Vibrant & fun colors while still maintained a sosphiscated touch. After a few recommendations from our server, we decided to try: Mushroom Arancini (10/10): These are amazing, as soon as they brought it out, we can both instantly smelled the truffle oil. The exterior were crispy & pipping hot, the inside has creamy mushroom. It was certain my favorite of the night! Rigatoni alla Vodka (8/10): A solid pasta! The sauce was great and balanced. There was a good amount of sauce that coated in the pasta. The pasta itself was perfectly al dente! This is a staple dish but I felt like it might lack an interesting flair. Stuffed Branzino (8/10): Another solid dish! The whole were already debone which made it so much easier and fussed free. The skin on top was insanely crispy, the meat were juicy and overall tasted very healthy and fresh! It was a nice paired to the heavy pasta dish! They also gave us 2 cute canolis as a free birthday dessert which were super good! Overall, this is a beautiful spot for a date night and I'm glad I took my partner here! I even got $20 off the bill just by downloading their app and creating an account. Definitely planning to come back!

We started with the garlic bread for appetizers. It was well presented but I think it would've been well paired with some sort of dipping sauce because it was a little dry. My boyfriend ordered the thousand layer lasagna and really enjoyed it. I ordered the rigatoni and thought it was just okay. I didn't realize the dish didn't come with protein so it felt like the dish was missing something. The sauce itself was nice but for some reason, some of the pasta was undercooked and some of it was al dente. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate pudding and tiramisu. The presentation was so beautiful. Both my boyfriend and I loved the pudding most -- I would definitely order this again. The tiramisu wasn't bad but it would've been better if it had a stronger coffee taste and if it was a little more moist. The wait staff was incredibly attentive and definitely made our visit feel special. She paid attention to the small details like helping us label our boxes, which I've never had anyone do before. On a completely unrelated note, I was surprised to find the bathrooms are shared between both genders. While there are separate stalls, the sink area is shared, which I wasn't expecting for a nicer restaurant like this. But I would say overall the food was hit or miss but the service and experience overall was amazing:)

To be honest, when I opened the menu, I thought the price was a bit on the high side, and didn't expect to like it in the "worth it" scale. But hey, for a higher price, they better deliver on the food quality! It most certainly disappoint. The food was amazing. Got the Linguini Fruti Di Mare, the seafood was good quality, the cioppino sauce was intense. It truly is the boss of the sauce. Also ordered the Chicken Marsala, I'm always cautious before ordering because the marsala wine can easily become overwhelming, or the sauce is too sour, or the chicken is tough and dry. I did not hit any of those, but rather, what I got was a few silky smooth and tender pieces of flattened chicken breasts, that is moist and flavorful. The sauce is great too, not to mention the mushroom, that is so fresh and flavorful on its own. Last but not least, their attention to detail went all the way to mashed potato and steamed vegetables. It was truly one of the best. Did I mention the free, fresh baked foccacia? It's among the top 3 I've had in any restaurants, ever. At the end, even it pinches my wallet a bit, it was well worth it.

The 2 page menu has appetizers, salad, pizza, pasta, and 3 entree dishes. Desserts are printed on a separate sheet, there are a variety of choices but a tad too expensive for my wallet. We ordered the Ravioli a la Teresa with cheese and pesto cream sauce, and their signature Sorelle Short Rib Bolognese. After ordering, we were given free bread for the table. The bread had herbs on top and the dipping sauce is olive oil with fried and then mashed soft garlic. The bread looked nothing special, but once I touched it, I was delighted to find out that they were warm and crusty on the outside but soft on the inside. It took a bit of wait for our food to came, I think it meant they were freshly cooked. The portions were big. Once laying down our food, the lady came with a big bowl of cheese and helped us sprinkle on top. It looks amazing with the cheese on top, like snow flakes melting on. I am so impressed with my short rib bolognese. The piece of short rib was sumptuous, a whole piece, resting on top of the pasta that is covered in meat sauce. The meat itself was so soft that it was super easy to tear off and just melts in my mouth. Flavorful and soft and juicy, super yummy! The pasta is cooked el dente, and each bite there's a bit of ground meat coated on the ziti pasta from the bolognese sauce. Very satisfying! I had a bite of the ravioli and these huge dumplings are covered in fresh pesto sauce and very cheesy inside. Although I was a bit confused on the difference between a pesto sauce and a pesto cream. I felt like the sauce was more pesto but we ordered pesto cream. Anyhow, it tasted good but I prefer my short rib bolognese more. Bus boy service is fast and responsive. We had a very enjoyable meal.

The carbonara was amazing--served super hot with great flavor and a solid amount of meat. Easily a 10/10. One tip though: eat it while it's hot, because once it cools down, it's not quite the same. The seafood pasta was also a standout. Everything tasted fresh, the flavors were on point, and it felt surprisingly light for a pasta dish. You know how pasta can sometimes feel heavy? This didn't have that at all. Another 10/10. The pesto pasta (a special that day) was just okay for me. It leaned a bit too oily, and the pesto flavor didn't really come through. They added ricotta, which kind of overpowered everything else. I did like the portion and the amount of meat, but overall I'd give it a 7/10. The ambiance was decent--nothing too special, but clean and comfortable. Service was excellent. It felt like a family-run place--three brothers along with their wives and kids--and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. They gave great recommendations and even helped accommodate my mom by seating us closer to the bathroom, which I really appreciated.

I like the pasta noodle and the combination - which had chicken, mushrooms. I don't go out of my way for Italian food but I'm so glad I found this place! Definitely will be back to try different dishes.

    It's always a good time at Goodtime Bar and tonight was an especially great experience thanks to…read moreChris. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of without being over the top. Service like that makes a big difference--definitely coming back!

    I totally understand how they made the top 100 in the SF Chronicle list, it's so well deserved!…read more I have only heard golden reviews of goodtime bar through peers and thought it was a great time to finally check it out! I came here with a friend on a weekday for dinner and it was not packed at all. The atmosphere was very minimalist and clean, with a cute disco ball in the corner. This establishment requires you to order at the bar (makes sense it's a bar), and then they did you a number for the table so they can deliver your food. Any drinks you order they will make it right then and there for you to bring over. In terms of food, here is everything we ordered and my thoughts! *Deviled eggs: You would think since it's deviled eggs, there wouldn't be anything too special about them but I appreciated the small pops of salmon roe that added a nice textural play with the creamy eggs! * Bluefin tostada: Absolutely delicious with fresh tuna, paired with mango, on a crispy wonton chip. What a rich treat. * Arancini: The twist of fusion flavors was great. I love how the Japanese curry added a nice mix of umami, paired with the sharp creamy kimchi sauce. Definitely a favorite! * Pork belly: Pull apart, juicy, and tender! These paired actually really well with the arancini for a good balance of rice and meat. * Red miso crème brûlée: interesting sweet and salty flavor combination between the red miso and Madagascar vanilla. Not too overpowering tho. A lovely meal was had here!
