Consistent. The food is tasty. When I am in a carb mood, linguini and clams with their signature side bread with a nice slab of butter hits the spot. The large pizzas are attractive and oozing with cheese and flavor. A great restaurant that has raised the bar in Novato.

This place was cute. I met up with a friend who lived in the area and had never been. Nothing about this place really stood out though. The staff was friendly and the food was good. It is family friendly but I can't see this place being good for large groups. Overall it was a "safe" option. I probably wouldn't come back by choice but I wouldn't be opposed if someone else wanted to go. It wasn't bad but it wasn't the best Italian I've had. Portion sizes were reasonable. Their homemade bread was really good too.

I went here for lunch the other day it was delicious! I ordered the meatball and sausage sandwich for lunch with a side of fries. The first time, my sandwich came out cold in the middle. I informed the waitress and she promptly took the food back and apologized. A few minutes later, my food came out, hot this time, and it was excellent. The bread was nice and crunchy, the meatball, sausage, and marinara all went so well together. Plus, the melted cheese!! I will be going back and ordering it again. The French fries were super crunchy and hot, 10 out of 10 French fry. The service was excellent despite my sandwich being cold the first time and they even gave me a discount on the price. That is what I call excellent customer service. I will definitely be going back and trying the othe

I visited this Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown, and the location was both convenient and welcoming. My group of four arrived without a reservation, but we were seated quickly and without any wait. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I ordered the Creamy Pesto Alfredo, garlic breadsticks, and a Juicy Breeze cocktail. While the cranberry flavor in the Juicy Breeze was a bit too strong for my liking, I absolutely loved the made-to-order Creamy Pesto Alfredo and the soft, fluffy garlic breadsticks. For dessert, I tried the tiramisu, which had a robust coffee flavor that didn't quite suit my taste, but it may appeal to others. Overall, a pleasant experience with great service and tasty dishes!

Stopped in for lunch. I had the best pizza. Delicious crust! The pepperoni was so yummy it was crispy like bacon. Every bite was scrumptious! I had to control myself to save the last piece. I want to have it for breakfast. I splurged and had dessert and coffee. Excellent! The bread pudding was satisfying! Done just right! I want to go back to The Village on Grant Ave again and have their pasta and yes more pizza! But also the Tiramisu. At some point I hope to return and try having Sunday Brunch. Service is excellent! Friendly place, plenty of street parking.
