"Rivoli's "smaller, more casual" trattoria sister near the Berkeley Rep serves up "divine pasta" and other "rustic" Florentine-style cucina plus "top-rate" wines at "value prices"." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Parking spots can be tough to find at this popular Italian destination in Berkeley, but the rustic, authentic food is worth a few trips around the block."

"Corso remains true to an Italian vision. If the tonnarelli ($14) is any indication, the pasta cooker is doing its job superbly." Full review
Not For Tourists "Simple Tuscan food with a California twist."
Fodor's "This lively spot serves up a seasonal menu of excellent Florentine cuisine and Italian wines in a sparse but snazzy space." Full review

""Serious sushi and Japanese-food lovers" endure "epic" waits for "outstanding fresh fish", "amazing robata" and "even better" "udon dishes" at this "deservedly busy" "go-to place"." Full review
Michelin Guide "Situated only steps away from the original Berkeley Bowl, Kirala is a treasured local haunt."
Rough Guide Star
"Many argue that Kirala serves the best sushi in the Bay Area. Others claim that it's the best in the world. Moderate pricing, too- expect to pay littie over $20 to get your fill."
