   For authentic, Italian food I absolutely love this place. Especially their Napoli-style pizzas— their crust is THE best in the area. Great casual place, that feels homey and genuine.

   Took the family for grandson’s 18th Birthday, We’ve been here many times & frequently order takeout. Food was just so so this time, we actually sent the fish back because it smelled very strong tasted off. Pasta even kinda bland. Disappointed

   So overall, the food was fresh & delicious and the service knowledgeable and attentive as always. (We’ve dined here several times, it’s our favorite Italian around.) however, it’s Mother’s Day, and we had 3 kids as part of our party. (10,7, 4.) one reason we chose Locanda Amalfi was because I knew they offered a kids menu. Today, not only did they say they were only offering the standard menu, they declined to modify some of the regular menu items to be more plain when we asked. This is still a gem in downtown Pleasanton, but if you have young kids, probably best to avoid on busy days like Mothers Day. (Unless they have a sophisticated palate.)

   It is on Mother’s Day. My son ordered a CAPRESE SALAD and SOGNI DI SPAGNA. I ordered a house wine and EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA. They are all good and delicious. We like the bread and flavored olive oil a lot.

    Took my fiancee there for her birthday and it was a hit. Our new favorite restaurant. She's a foodie and we both love Italy and this was like little trip. The waiters speak Italian, the food quality and presentation is spectacular, down to the charming authentic plates, and the atmosphere is lively. It's full of people enjoying food and engaged in friendly conversations. Very Amalfi and truly a delight.

    Everything was wonderful. Loved our waiter who gave us good advice on everything from our drinks to the desserts. The appetizers we'd chosen - Arancini and Cockle were outstanding. All four of us enjoyed our entrees and then chose 2 desserts - the zeppole and the limoncello cake. We decided we couldn't decide which dessert was better as they were both EXCELLENT. Thank you for a wonderful time. We appreciate the you allowed us to enjoy our meal and spend valued time with our friends.

    Had a wonderful, memorable first experience here last might with my adult children for my birthday. The cocktails were unique, reflecting Italian flavors, beautifully presented and delicious. The appetizers were nicely crafted with special house-made sauces. And the meals were equally great. The meat-lovers pizza had a variety of tasty Italian meats, excellent sauce and cheese and just the right amount of charring on the edges of the crust from the wood-fired oven though it was still somehow soft & chewy underneath surface! The pasta was so fresh and tender - I could tell just by cutting through it with my fork, before I took my first bite. The service was so gracious, friendly and fun. I think we were served by one of the co-owners and he was genuine Italian with all the verve and style that you would imagine. He really made the whole experience memorable and special. This is a cut above the other restaurants in downtown Pleasanton, particularly the several other Italian places that range from weak to "above average". This one's first-rate, definitely worth a try.

    Very loud and crowded place with poor quality tables and chairs lined up in rows that resemble a cafeteria more than a restaurant. Very loud inside, especially with the way the tables are packed together. The food was so-so. The pizzas looked good, but the bolognese my wife had tasted like it came from a can. The braised short rib was over cooked and not very flavorful. This was a birthday dinner and had made a reservation noting that and told the waiter when we were seated. Two other tables nearby also celebrated birthdays and had a cannoli and limoncello sent to the table, plus singing from the waitstaff. We got nothing, but the bill. Regardless of this oversight we will never go back because of the atmosphere and poor food quality.
