    We had a lovely lunch here. We sat outside on a very nice spring day. The sandwiches we ordered were great. The server was attentive. We would definitely come back for lunch again.

    We went there for lunch. As it's wet outside, we picked a table inside. The sandwiches we ordered were excellent. Courteous and speedy service. It was a pleasant experience.

    A nice quiet place slightly off the bustle of downtown Berkeley. Good value and a nice place to actually communicate instead of getting drowned out by too much noise.

    Quaint neighborhood wine and small/large plates. Food was excellent, service was great. Indoor and outdoor seating. Close to BART and parking garage next door.

    A great pre-theater option for light bites, sandwiches, and salads. Outside seating is nice mid- afternoon and service was wonderful.

    We come to Heroic Italian before seeing our play at Berkeley Rep and are always so glad we have chosen to eat here. The salads (this time we did the California Caprese salad - sooo good,, and enough for 2) are always hearty and original. The pinsas are a favorite -- we love the crispy crust and the fresh toppings. Serving is prompt and friendly. (and Berkely Rep patrons get a complimentary glass of Prosecco.). No wonder we keep returning!
