Buon Appetito in Hayward

Some dishes were a bit on the bland side. Service was great though. Calamari was ok. Chicken Marsala was soft and tender but a bit salty.

The food here is average, the service was okay as well, could’ve been better when it came to asking for refills. I highly don’t recommend the old fashioned here, I’ve never seen a cherry smashed in one, way too much cherry juice. But overall it was okay place, definitely wouldn’t come back

Celebrated my birthday and mothers day here this year! It wasnt too crowded and the service was excellent. The food was delightful but I highly recommend skipping the ice tea.. it was dreadful. Great dinner!

My wife and I have dined here many times.We dated here prior to our marriage.We had our reception dinner here. We return at least three to four times a year.We find the owner authentic, friendly and interested.The staff is knowledgeable and efficient.The kitchen staff is professional and on point with their preparation of the food.Highly recommended.

Had the salmon e allá griglia. Lightly grilled and seared, soft and succulent on the inside. A little lemon is good but not necessary. Highly recommend.

The place is fantastic. Service was incredibly friendly. The risotto was flavourful and cooked to al dente, and polenta is a must-have. Would recommend it as a weekend dinner or afternoon lunch.

Our server was mediocre. The other gentleman that was just refilling the water was more attentive. The pizza was supposed to be a Margherita pizza. It was a good cheese pizza. The server didn’t listen all the way a gave us an plain Caesar salad instead of the chicken I asked for. But the pasta made up for it. We had the Conchiglie al Pollo & Fettuccine alla Friulana. I ordered a side of Alfredo sauce and added it to the Fettuccine alla Friulana. It was one of the best pastas I’ve ever eaten to date. Both were great flavored. Honestly was the saving grace for the restaurant. I forgot to take a picture but that’s honestly the only thing I’d come back for. The server also shorted my cash back from the food purchase so I took it from his tip. The experience was weird but the pasta was perfection. So hopefully your experience is better than my first experience.

Staff are always friendly. Service is great. Theres a beautiful waitress that knows Im in-love. Kinda. I get like Don Knots when I see her. I look around. Dont see her. Take a big bite of whatever (everything is so good. Pear salad. Pizza) and sure as shhhh How is everything? The great food I managed to swallow? Or the stuff all over my face. That always has the linen napkin covering my face paranoid that shes thinking, Mio dio! What a caveman! I should get him a mop for his mug. Tip very well hoping shell forget the bad. Her retinas are burned by my slovenly appearance 🤣. Try St. James Brewery & Distillery’s Premium Rye Whiskey at the bar! New bottle design upgrade shipping this week! Simply Unrivaled

Very cute Italian restaurant. Close to downtown enjoyed lasagna and ravioli. Good service would definitely return. Kids loved it too and enjoyed the atmosphere and dining experience along with the food.

Table we sat by kitchen too warm. Lasagna ferrere was good, w spinach would be an improvement. Bolognese looked delicious. Italian soda w sberry & cream, great. Spumoni 💕 Nice to meet Martino the owner & chef of Appetito
