   We had 8 for my mom’s birthday and the service was excellent. Everyone enjoyed the sole and chicken plus more. Cute small place in downtown San Carlos

   The Fettuccine Di Tartufo Bianco D’Alba is outstanding and worth returning for. Excellent service as well.

   Will come Back-loved everything about this cozy restaurant from the delicious appetizers and entrees to the decor, menu designs and music. Wonderful and friendly service and it was a delight to receive the owner Vincente's personal attention and wonderful conversation. Our nee favorite place when visiting the Peninsula.

   Revised review! While it was disappointing - the restaurant was too cold and my red wine was cold! The bread was cold! The carpaccio was ice cold - had to send it back, other the food was good. The Calamari was very good. The pastas were delicious. I had angel hair pasta with fresh tomatoes, garlic, etc., my husband had the special with seafood. The desserts were good too - I had cheesecake - homemade and my husband had crème broulee. However, I doubt we would return. Although, it would be a good restaurant to hold a private party.

   888 Ristorante - A Perfect Executive Dining Experience I recently had the pleasure of dining at 888 Ristorante for a business lunch, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The restaurant's serene atmosphere, with only two other occupied tables, provided an ideal setting for an executive meeting where discretion and quiet conversation were paramount. The dining room's tranquil environment allowed for easy discussion of business matters without having to raise our voices or worry about being overheard. This level of privacy is increasingly rare in today's bustling restaurant scene. The food quality was exceptional, demonstrating the kitchen's commitment to authentic Italian cuisine. Each dish was expertly prepared with fresh ingredients that truly shone through in the flavor profiles. The attention to detail in both preparation and presentation showed a level of sophistication that matches the restaurant's refined atmosphere. Service was unobtrusive yet attentive, striking that perfect balance that's essential for business dining. Our servers seemed to anticipate our needs without interrupting our conversation flow. For those seeking a sophisticated venue for business meetings or important client lunches, 888 Ristorante offers that increasingly rare combination of excellent cuisine and an atmosphere conducive to meaningful conversation. The low occupancy during lunch hours makes it an excellent choice for confidential business discussions.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
