PRANZI

Delicious food, quiet atmosphere, attentive staff. We went on a cold rainy weeknight, so the Tomato/Basil soup really hit the spot. The sole has a nice texture and cooked just right. The seared sole has a slight crispness on the outside and soft flakiness inside. We will definitely be back.

My Friend and I loved, loved Pranzi! The Calamari was a little oily- but we like it like that! The Italian Paella was fantastic - I had to go to the Sous Chef to tell him those were the best-cooked scallops I've ever had. My Friend and I didn't care fir the chicjen pieces which we found bland but swirl it in that sauce and it was fine. Their Mousse Cake was delicious and adding chocolate curls and whipped cream with fresh mint elevated the dessert. We will be back...hopefully soon!

I'm staying at the nearby Residence Inn for business, and this looked like a good spot for takeout. OMG! My salad was ready when I got there, and the pasta was just getting finished - tossed into the box steaming. The server added some lovely focaccia bites. I had the squid ink pasta, and the sauce was exceptional. The shrimp were a little overdone, but everything else was excellent. The beet salad was incredible. I'm not fond of arugula, but I know that a lot of chefs use it for beet salads. It had the usual ingredients - beets, gorgonzola, and walnuts, but I think the dressing is what made it magical. I ate arugula and liked it! Also, I have enough of everything for lunch tomorrow. I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area. Photo is how I plated it at my hotel.

PRANZI in San Carlos is an absolute gem. From start to finish, the experience was pure perfection—delicious dishes prepared with care, rich flavors that felt authentically Italian, and presentation that was as beautiful as it was satisfying. I highly recommend the lasagna and the truffle mac and cheese—both were decadent, flavorful, and truly unforgettable. Every bite tasted elevated yet comforting, and the attention to detail in both the food and service made the evening feel special. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and welcoming, creating a dining experience you’ll want to repeat. If you’re looking for exceptional Italian cuisine on the Peninsula, PRANZI delivers every time.

Dined here for the first time over the weekend. Sat at the bar, and Max, the bartender was really nice and attentive. We had a good time interacting with him. You get their type of foccacia bread with olive and balsamic vinegar that was really good. We started with the Bietole salad that was good. For our entree's, we had the Pan Seared Sole which was really tasty, and you get a nice portion of sole. We also had the Risotto, which was okay, but I'll try something else next time. The desserts are made in house, we had the Rosina Al Cioccalato, which was absolutely delicious!
