I ordered the squid ink spaghetti but only got 2 clams. 1 mussel, 2 scalloped and 3 small shrimp for $30. The dessert I ordered was the puff pastry Napoleon. It was just puff pastry and whipped cream with an awful orange sauce that came up all night!! There was 1 strawberry on top but I wouldn't list it as "berries" on the menu. The dessert had no taste except for that awful orange. The restaurant was lovely and the service was impeccable. If I came back I would definitely NOT order the same thing. I had looked up the menu online and was going to order the fillet mignon at $37 but was horrified that when we got to the restaurant the price had gone up to $46!! That's way too much. I was very disappointed.

My son picked this restaurant for his birthday dinner. We went on a Tuesday at 5:30 so it was not crowded. They brought us a complimentary flatbread appetizer that was delicious. The calamari appetizer and buratta and prosciutto appetizer were excellent. There were four of us. We ordered the ribeye steak, chicken pasta, lasagna, and chicken parmigiana. I enjoyed the spinach with garlic I tasted that came with the steak. I wished it had been included with my chicken parmigiana. Portions were large. We all left full. The truffle mac and cheese is good, but very hot. If you are a fan of gourmet mac and cheese, definitely get it. We also ordered pomegranate martinis and Paloma Mule cocktails. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive - wish I remembered his name. It is a very nice restaurant but not stuffy or pretentious, and the prices are what you'd expect for the quality of food on the menu.

The food was ok but nothing exceptional. We had a variety of dishes, including appetizers, salads, and entrees. Hot foods were hot, cold foods were cold, but they were just average at best. The bread pieces were odd, more like a cake sponge than a crusty yeast bread, cut into small cubes and presented with oil and balsamic-meh, at best. Based on other ratings, we expected more than was delivered and can't describe it as anything special. Not bad but not a place we will return.

The food was delish and staff was very nice. Be careful with the truffle mac and cheese as it is extremely hot and the cast iron plate holds the heat in for a long time. I learned the hard way but it was worth it 😅.

Lunch at Pranzi was very good. My wife and I were meeting friends that we hadn't seen since the start of the pandemic. Pranzi is on that portion of Laurel Street that is closed to traffic, so we chose to eat outside al fresco. Waitstaff was very patient with us and we spent a leisurely two hours for lunch. The food was very good.

3 of us adults. Appetizer. 4 cocktails. 3 entrees. 2 desserts. Reasonable prices. Burrata app. Delicious. I got penne vodka as entree and was excellent. We all raved about the food. Looking forward to heading back to try the lasagna!! It was a tad noisy and we sat outside. Popular downtown area of san carlos so noise factor was overlooked by us.
