First time visiting; the bread was fluffy and crunchy but a tad bland. The mellow saffron sauce pasta and rich braised beef pasta were exceptional great spot for a date night! 10/10 read more

Servino Ristorante is hands down our favorite Italian spot in Marin. It still feels a bit under the radar and a local secret. It doesn't have hundreds of reviews like some of the bigger-name places, but that just makes it feel even more like a local gem. The food is consistently incredible. You can really tell everything is fresh and seasonal. The menu changes often, and whatever's in season always ends up being the star. Listen to your waiters recommendation. Sam was incredible. Pastas are always on point, seafood tastes super fresh, and the specials never miss. It's the kind of place where you order something new and still walk away impressed every time. It also has that "living room of Tiburon" vibe and comfortable, welcoming, and the kind of place you keep coming back to whether it's a casual dinner or something a little more special. I've brought a bunch of friends and family here over the years, and every single one of them ends up loving it just as much. That's probably the best endorsement I can give. read more

A very charming, cozy restaurant on Main street of Tiburon, friendly host and wait or who has great knowledge of the food and the wines. We enjoyed almost all of the meal except the chicken was not as impressive as the waitor advertised. It was a bit on the dry side that evening. We had most of it packed up to go but the staff also forgot to bring it out to us and we too forgot to asked for it, maybe I it was a good thing. We.all enjoy the well prepared, and flavorful, bright yet comforting dishes. The pasta was aldente the way it should be. Overall we had very nice evening and would definitely comes back to try other dishes. Hope it would all be winner the next time around. read more

Came here for a second time and was again blown away by the perfection of the recipes, for the food. Balanced, authentic flavors, good clean food. The pastas, the appetizers, the seafood. - 1 star for the really bad flourless chocolate cake...I ordered it the first time and forgot how bad it was and we ordered it this time, too, oops. It's a way-too-sweet dark chocolate fudge. Too dense, sweet, and sickening. It's not a traditional or even Italian style "flourless chocolate cake". Also the price for a few things are unusually high, but most things are worth it. (the fish dish was too high $44 for a simple low cost lingcod, for example. And almost $20 for each glass of wine? I'll skip drinking here) read more

We were a table of 6 but service was as if we were the most important people in the world. The old school Italian family present treated us like family. The waiter Sam's descriptions were spot on and helpful. His mastery of the Italian language was impressive. Food was over-the top delicious. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this restaurant for ambiance, food and top-notch service. read more

I've passed by Servino so many times and didn't even realize it. Definitely a hidden gem! I decided to check it out on a whim for dinner and accidentally arrived a few minutes before opening. They were super welcoming and seated me right away. Sam was my server and he was amazing! Attentive but not intrusive or rushed. Top notch service. For dinner I got the Insalata di Pomodori (tomato salad), tagliatelle al funghi, and then rounded it out with panna cotta for dessert. All of the dishes were just spot on. Portions weren't huge but also not tiny. I particularly enjoyed the mushroom pasta. House made pasta and fresh, local mushrooms. Just perfection. The vibe inside is Mediterranean mid century. Fabulous spot for date night. Highly recommend Servino. I'll be back for sure! read more

I was blown away by my first visit to Trattoria Servino. Found this location on yelp but was a bit wary since they only had 17 reviews. There's always a lot of fluff reviews when a restaurant first opens. However I decided to give this place a try. Made a reservation on their website which was super easy and got a text confirmation and reminder text. Came a bit early but was still seated and they had our reserved table for us. We devided to order: Fritto Mistro (Calamari): Amazingly fresh--tender without being chewy. The light, crunchy batter was spot-on, and the marinara sauce tasted like it came straight from fresh tomatoes, not a can. Bright, balanced, and not too acidic. Perfect portion size. House-Baked Focaccia: Absolute perfection. Airy but with a golden crust that reminded me of Detroit-style pizza. The sprinkle of salt was just right, but what really set it apart was the olive oil--clean, pure, and honestly the best I've ever tasted. Tagliatelle al Fungi: Generous mushrooms, beautifully earthy, and paired with those same incredible olive oil notes. The noodles tasted freshly made and had just the right bite. Flavorful without being greasy. Piccola Fiorentina (Porterhouse Steak): Large but sliced thin with a perfect sear. It leaned a little closer to medium-well than medium, but still delicious and tender. The sweet roasted onion it came with was such a surprise hit--I don't usually like onions, but this one won me over. Overall: Fantastic service, authentic Italian cooking, and a spotless space in a convenient location. I'll admit, I was cautious about the glowing Yelp reviews since there aren't too many yet--but they are 100% deserved. I wouldn't be surprised if within a year this becomes the go-to Italian spot in Marin. Easily the best Italian I've had in the bay area. Can't wait to come back! Easy 5 stars. Tips: Parking: Tons of free street parking nearby, so you can skip the paid lot. Ambience: Spotless, modern, and welcoming. The space feels new and thoughtfully designed. Service: Outstanding--attentive, warm, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. read more

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner here! The service was kind and wonderful, and very fast! We loved everything we had, the focaccia, pesto tortelloni, and the bolognese. We also had a wonderful signature cocktail. Everything was wonderfully priced and the restaurant had great ambiance. I would recommend to anyone in the area! read more

Trattoria Servino - Italian Near Me - Belvedere, California

Outstanding pastas, some of the best I've had. Service was good enough for the price, no complaints. The accompaniments of the halibut crudo was lacking a bit of flavor though, but still decent. read more

Love this place. Juan is especially kind and knowledgeable. All the food is fantastic. Cute old boat house.

Disappointed owing to the glowing reviews. Food is not bad, but average compared to my daily meal. Way expensive for the taste and portion. Service is barely there. Long waits for the food and service. They should put some padding on the flat wood booth seats (so that the seats are not torturous). No bread included, but you can order $10 of rosemary focaccia. read more

A legendary Servino's has been in Tiburon serving great, tasty Italian food for decades. Hard to single out any one dish since we loved so many but now that favorite Servinos has moved over to Ark Row it's become more intimate & charming & the cuisine never misses! read more

I like their new"ish" location, very intimate setting. The service was solid and inviting. We tried the House Focaccia which was actually a let down - maybe stale...not sure what was going on with this that night, the CROSTINI which was delish, and the Cavatelli al pesto which was also super good. It had been awhile since I had been here but it was as good as I remembered growing up eating there. read more

Went to Tiburon and walked past by this little cute restaurant last month. Finally got a reservation today to try it and it did not disappoint. Couple of highlights: stuffed zucchini blossom was battered and fried to perfection. Light, crispy, fragrant, with melt-in-your-mouth smoked cheese filling, yum! We loved it so much we ordered another one. I wish our saffron arancini would be more crispy but otherwise flavor was spot on. Crab ravioli was full of umami and cooked to perfect al dente with reach and creamy sauce highlighted by salty pancetta. Solid 4.8 for me and would def return to try more of their dishes. read more

Servino is back on Ark Row and better than ever. On the recommendation of several friends, we decided to try Servino for dinner this past weekend. We were a bit nervous when we arrived that the Trattoria side was almost empty, but it filled up during our meal. For appetizers we had the halibut crudo and frito misto. The kitchen was exceptionally generous with the slices of halibut which went very well with the nectarines and tangy dressing. The frito misto was perfect. It was lightly battered and cooked perfectly - the squash was crisp-tender. We had the tortelloni as a pasta course with the addition of some Calabrian chili which gave it a bit of kick. (You have to ask for the chilis, but it is worth it.) My steak was cooked perfectly and the roasted lemons gave an additional brightness. The star of the evening was my partner's pork chop. It was huge! It was easily 16 ounces. However the best part was that it was served hot - really hot. Nothing ruins a breaded item more than sitting under the heat lamps - the breading turns to an unappetizing mush. This one was still crisp on both sides. The banquette seating is their most popular, so plan accordingly. Larger diners may not be comfortable in all of their chairs. (They may not fit in the arm chairs.) We are looking forward to going back. read more

Medium sized trattoria within an easy walk from the center of Tiberon, in a quaint pair of restored buildings. Sophisticated menu and wine list, far better than average for this price range (you can spend $200/cpl including wine). Outstanding seasonal items, I had fresh sardines and local halibut was on the crudo menu. Fresh pasta was delicious. It's a trattoria, so no tablecloths, but excellent service from kind, knowledgeable and friendly people. We did not have a reservation (bailed out of another restaurant), but were accommodated after a 20 minute wait. If I lived here, I'd be back once a week, the menu is that varied and interesting. read more

Dinner was excellent! We had the Caprese salad with a side of fresh baked focaccia, Cappalletti with shrimp, and Pappardelle with braised beef ragu. The pasta is all homemade and delicious! read more

A great place for lunch... but get there early as it fills up fast. Food was good and service was excellent

Overall 10/10 Italian restaurant. All food is made according to seasonal varieties of vegetables, and the ingredients are locally sourced. The staff were all super kind, and our server, Sam, was an incredible young man. The focaccia and olive oil (not pictured) was a perfect starter and the pastas were incredible. The restaurant is small, cute and has a soft cozy vibe. read more

Ambiance was great, the outdoor seating is in a very nice location. Food was banger, honestly some of the best noodles I've had in a while. Would recommend! read more

The best calamari we have ever had in our lives. It was lightly dusted and fried but not greasy or oily. It was the perfect tenderness and texture. It reminded me of fritto misto in Vernazza, Italy. We also ordered the focaccia, which was served with arbequina olive oil. The focaccia was light and fluffy and just right for dipping in our entrees. I had the spinach gnocchi with Kalamata olives, capers and shaved parm. My boyfriend had the eight hour beef ragù. Both dishes were outstanding. We had stellar service in the main dining room. Our server heard us casually mention it was our anniversary when we first sat down. When we ordered gelato, he brought it out with a candle and wished us a happy anniversary. We highly recommend this restaurant and, despite living two hours away, we will be back as often as we can. It was a special experience and we really appreciate their attentiveness. read more

The food is always good and the service is excellent and the bill is very reasonable. Good for lunch or dinner.

We went here last night and it's was just okay. The pasta was fresh but neither entree we ordered was special. Our waitress was great and attentive, but the food was just okay. read more

Hadn't been to Servino's in over 6 months. Food and service were excellent and seemed substantially upgraded from what I recall with lots of seasonal ingredients. Almost all of the pasta is made in house. The crostini was a tasty start. The Ministra soup flavors, fresh squash and corn, stood out. The beef ragu was sublime: beef and sauce were flavorful and pasta was perfectly cooked. The Tagliatelle al Funghi was nicely cooked with just a little crunch. The Torchio Salsiccia was pleasingly spiced with the pasta a perfect al dente. The desserts we tried were the same quality as the rest of the meal. The servers were attentive, knowledgeable and very friendly. To top it off, the prices were a good value for such quality. If you are anywhere in Marin and looking for top tier Italian cooking, try Servino. read more

Our party arrived early and was given a tour by Natale Servino - one of the celebrated owners. Located on Ark Row in Tiburon, the restaurant is amazing. Natale, just back from visiting family in Palermo, shared some ideas for upcoming dishes based on the regional cuisine of his family's hometown and surrounding area. His knowledge of Sicily and the region's history is amazing and he uses that information to provide an original and unique menu. It makes sense, if the dish is going to be prepared correctly, you need the right ingredients - requiring the restaurant to import them from the source. This includes spices and wine. Result: the food was fantastic; the staff were efficient, friendly and professional; and we experienced no flaws in our visit. Everything, the cuisine, service, and ambiance were prefect. Thank you, Natale. read more

The homemade pasta was delicious!!! We had the tortelloni with asparagus and peas and the crab agnolotti. If you have someone in your party that is sensitive I recommend asking for a booth, as their chairs are uncomfortable. read more

We ate dinner at Servino on December 5. The evening ended disastrously! I ordered the Pappardelle Filetto, which the server mentioned was one of the customer favorites. I had planned to run the Peacock Gap Trail half marathon the next morning and thought a pasta dinner would be a good pre-race meal. Instead, I got one of the worst cases of food poisoning I have ever had! Needless to say, I couldn't run the race and almost a year's worth of training turned out to be for nothing. The restaurant should remove this dish from the menu immediately! Even if that happens, I won't be back. Unless you're a risk taker, I would suggest looking elsewhere for your next Italian dinner. read more

Best pasta ever calamari was great and the slow good ragu was amazing blasted with a lot of flavors love to come here again

We ate there last night. Amazing food. Our waiter Sam was very knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings. We took his advice on both the food and wine menu and were delighted with the results. read more

The wait staff is very pleasant and knowledgeable - great explanations to all our questions about the menu and ingredients. The food is amazingly delicious - clearly because they are serious about "farm to table" and the quality of their ingredients. For instance, the tomatoes in the salad were completely ripe and sweet as sugar. We'll be back! read more

Great place for pasta! Service was attentive and the place was charming but a little loud went full. The gnocchi was delicious. I don't normally eat roast chicken when I go out but had to get it after I saw it served next to our table. Excellent. Will go back again to try the other pastas. read more

Tried the Crab ravioli and my husband tried the Pappardelle. He said his was good but mine barely had anything inside. They were almost flat. Not acceptable really read more

Love love love this, food was amazing, ambiance so great-- intimate and great service! Try the Meatball! read more

It's as if you are dining in Italy!! Everything is so mouth watering delicious, it's hard to describe. The olive oil, the Focaccia, the Ragu is the best I've ever had!! It is a perfect date spot or for a guest from out of town or a celebration. The vibe is perfect, not too loud but has a cool energy and buzz. The wine is incredible!! Oh and the dessert!! And the service is perfect. Cannot recommend enough!!! read more

I love Trattoria Servino. We came to celebrate my parents' visit from Italy. I had already gone to their old location but hadn't tried the new one. I had heard so many good things about it, and in fact, it was incredible! I really liked how you can start with a happy hour at the Enoteca and then have dinner at the Trattoria. It's fun and efficient. Great attention to detail, excellent service, fantastic food, and phenomenal wine pairing--a gem in Tiburon. read more

I came here with my husband and some extended family for dinner the other night. I was so impressed with the quality of the food and the Italian wines. We had the squash flower appetizer, which was really tasty. I got the gnocchi plate (I am a huge gnocchi fan!) and it was great. We also met the owners, who were super friendly and who came over to our table after the meal. The restaurant itself was really cozy and intimate. Would highly recommend! read more

I love the new location ! Super cozy and farther away from a lot to the tourist spots. I came here for my birthday with my family and it was super special. Angelo was entertaining us the entire night, and suggested the best wine to us. In fact when we went to Italy this summer we looked for the wine he suggested. The food was super authentic, and i loved the ambience. It's super chic but unpretentious. My favorite place in Tiburon for dinner! read more

Fine dining in a really comfortable, cozy spot. Heard from a friend about the wine selection and it lived up to the reputation. Great selection and great menu to pair. Would be hard pressed to pick my favorite as we tried everything. The staff made the evening feel extra special. It was the highlight of our trip. Highly recommend read more

Wow, Wow, Wow! I came here with a group of girlfriends on a Thursday night and we were all so impressed with the new location of Servino on historic ark row. We feel like we found a hidden gem with the best ambiance, food and service. WE DRANK: We started in the Enoteca bar for cocktails - I had a mocktail and my friends enjoyed their Italian-inspired cocktails including a limoncello spritz and a gin & tonic made from the Amalfi coast (I did not even know that Italians made such great gin)! We moved into the Trattoria area for dinner and sat in a comfortable banquet. The food and service - divine! I also liked the music playing in the background. WE ATE: I loved the focaccia bread and their exquisite olive oil (a must!). The salads & antipasti are all seasonal and have so much vibrancy, energy and flavour. We then tried several excellent pasta dishes including the Gnocchi and Raviolini with Summer Squash (YUMMMM) and the half roasted chicken dish - all were INCREDIBLE! Dessert was flourless chocolate cake- my FAV and the best version I have ever had. I want this as my Birthday Cake :). Can't wait to come back soon and bring more friends to rediscover our new Favourite Italian restaurant and a slice of Italy. read more
