    Delicious meal in a reliable stalwart on Peninsula dining scene. Five star food included best ever pork chop and pasta Vongole which had so many tasty fresh clams. Delicious butter lettuce salad with fine unobtrusive service. Best choice for dining in all of Belmont.

    Everything was wonderful as usual but a private party made the noise level unacceptable. I will always call ahead in the future and confirm no private large gatherings

    Good food. Charging for bread - not good. The service was good. Prices seemed expensive for what you get.

    Few years ago we had dinner in this restaurant and it was exquisite. Today we brought out of town friends here for lunch, but it was Sunday so it was brunch food. Marguerite pizza wasn’t really eatable as far as I am concerned ( each person took a slice, I didn’t need a second bite and we didn’t want the left overs of this pizza). Breakfast pizza was just ok, I had a better quality in Pizza my heart. If you really want to have a good pizza go to Tony’s Napoletana in San Francisco. My French toast was also nothing to write home about. The best part of the meal was coffee. Very disappointed actually. Not sure if it’s a such a drastic difference between dinner and lunch or the chef has changed or perhaps a new owner. But we were regretting bringing out of town guests there.
