888 Ristorante Italiano

The food at 888 is always so fantastic. The care and attention that the staff give while dining there make me return again and again. They are thoughtful in their specials (always fresh and seasonal), as well as their recommendations for menu selections, wine pairing, and the desserts. I can my wait until our next meal there!

Highly recommend to dine at 888: Vince, the owner , is super attentive ; food is great , ambiance is perfect for a small gathering. We will be back soon!

Food was excellent as well the service. Had to commend the crust on the cheesecake as being close to perfection

The restaurant needs to invest in some black napkins for individuals wearing black clothes. The current white one leave a ton of lint all over your slacks or dress.

Great meal enjoyed by all.

Nice outside patio, not too noisy, good for a business lunch.

One of our favorites.

Food is excellent. Service is attentive and excellent. Meal fully exceeded expectations.

excellent service and food, everything was exactly how we "picky" people wanted it, great desserts to top off meal

Amazing pasta and service

It was very nice to eat outside. Our party had no problem with any peripheral noise. The food was excellent and the service very good. Try it, you'll like it! Cheers.

Always a pleasure eating there! The food is delicious and the service is outstanding!
It was the perfect lunch!

888 was great! The service was amazing!

Great food, fantastic host! Best mussels and clams I have had in years, great entrees, and a dynamite bread pudding

Birthday celebration

Amazing pasta and nice portions, not too large. Staff was nice. Outdoor seating was nice.

The owner is moody and on the day we went for lunch was almost surly, telling us the kitchen closed at 1pm, when our reservation was at that time. We felt rushed and thought he was rude. On other occasions have noticed that he is cold with some guests and warm and welcoming to regulars.

We went on a very hot night and I think everyone was overwhelmed by the heat. They did there best to give us a good experience.

Awesome food and service. The waiter was very attentive.

888 was great. We had a delicious dinner. Cheesecake for dessert was fantastic. We will go back.

Standout on San Carlos' restaurant row. Food is authentic and consistently terrific, hospitality and service outstanding, wine list is knowledgeable, diverse and reasonably priced. Always have had high expectations and never been disappointed here.

Three of us dined there and all of our dishes were excellent/gourmet -- from appetizers to dessert! Interesting/varied menu. Attentive service, good wine list. Highly recommend.

Fantastic from start to finish, great date night spot! Everything was so fresh and delicious. On the quieter end of the street, so was able relax and enjoy dining outside.

Wedding anniversary

We visited 888 Ristorante for my birthday celebration. It was the first time eating at this restaurant. It was so good. There is outside seating available but we were brave and sat inside, now that we are able to. There was one other table of people inside. Most people were seated outside. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves! It was a definite treat! We haven’t been out in soooo long! All the food was great. Especially the Veal Marsala! The cheesecake we had for dessert was delicious. The service was great as well. A definite recommend for that special occasion or date night!

Service was excellent and the food was delicious. There were 4 of us and everyone loved their meals.

Calamari appetizer and tiramisu dessert were great., Saltiness of veal piccata overwhelmed the lemon cappers. Service and atmosphere were great.

The food at 888 Ristorante Italiano is always fresh and authentically prepared. It has a friendly atmosphere and is one of our favorite restaurants.

Great neighborhood restaurant for very good Italian food. Good food and good service.
All staff are attentive

My husband and I wanted a good Italian meal and 888 didn’t disappoint. We shared a Caesar salad, the gnocchi, and veal piccata entree. Even though we were sharing dishes, the portions were generous. The gnocchi with pesto sauce was outstanding. The gnocchi were soft and fluffy and tasted freshly made. The veal was tender and flavorful, but my favorite part of the entree was the vegetables - Swiss chard and asparagus—cooked to perfection and so delicious. A wonderful departure from the standard carrots and zucchini served at many restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Delicious food and friendly service. I am a weekly, yes weekly customer!!!

The host was not very engaging when he seated us which did not start the dining experience off to a good start; however, our waiter made up the difference with his friendly attitude and good wait service.....our food was okay....the calamari was excellent but our entrees were just okay, two being the special that night....and dessert was fantastic, the carmel seasalt gelato....

This a fantastic local Italian restaurant that we love and go to often. The food is fresh and prepared in authentic Italian fashion and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Definitely worth repeated visits!

This was a relaxed dining experience. Great food and professional service.

We found for the portion size and overall value, to be on the expensive side.

Excellent restaurant in the heart of Laurel Street. Excellent Italian food, ambiance and quality service!

Great food, friendly service, a favorite of ours

Most amazing pasta ! The focaccia bread melts in your mouth:)

Great place for weekend eating and comfort food. Quiet place to have a nice comfortable evening with your other half. Neighborhood gem!!

My favorite in San Carlos. Highly recommend to anyone.
