Berkeley, CA: Giovanni - "expensive, subpar Italian food "

2009-01-08T23:40:47-08:00

Review of Giovanni at 2420 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704

I am OK with paying a decent amount of money for Italian food, or any food, if it is high quality. But Giovanni’s just fails to deliver. Their meals cost at least 20 dollars, and the food falls far short for me. I ordered chicken saltimbocca, and there was a lack of any flavor in the ...

Oakland, CA: Noodle Theory - "small, trendy noodle restaurant"

2008-10-07T22:04:52-07:00

Review of Noodle Theory at 6099 Claremont Ave, Oakland, CA 94618-1222

by fattiusthebear:

This restaurant is appealing while driving along College Avenue, with it’s intriguing name and trendy looking restaurant. They offer a few unique sounding Asian noodle dishes. While the noodles are pleasing, they don’t have any amazing tastes that put it over the top. The prices...

Berkeley, CA: Chez Panisse Cafe - "a nice, delicious restaurant that is not overly fancy"

2008-10-07T21:56:07-07:00

Review of Chez Panisse Cafe at 1517 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley, CA 94709

by fattiusthebear:

Whenever I mentioned to someone that I was going to Chez Panisse, they would always be shocked and somewhat impressed. The restaurant has such a good reputation for good and priciness (esp for college students), that people are practically awed that you are going to eat there. I decided to e...

Berkeley, CA: Kirala - "excellent, but small rolls"

2008-08-02T16:11:29-07:00

Review of Kirala at 2100 Ward St, Berkeley, CA 94705

by fattiusthebear:

Kirala is not for the cheap eater. Japanese food costs more than average already, and Kirala is on the higher end of pricing. I had to wait 30 minutes, and I got there before the wait got even larger. The ambience is pretty nice, with a modern feel to it.I was pretty sure that the su...

San Francisco, CA: Golden Boy Pizza - "excellent, oily pizza goodness"

2008-08-01T00:05:01-07:00

Review of Golden Boy Pizza at 542 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94133-3921

by fattiusthebear:

Golden Boy is a pizza joint in North Beach. It is not a very big place, and actually is a bar. The pizza is meant to go, or you can eat at the bar on one of the stools. They offer pepperoni, cheese, combination, pesto vegetarian, and clam and garlic pizza.I ordered two slices of the ...

Berkeley, CA: Fat Slice Pizza - "better than blondies"

2008-07-28T22:15:18-07:00

Review of Fat Slice Pizza at 2375 Telegraph Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704-1615

by fattiusthebear:

Fat Slice has better pizza than Blondie’s. Just thought I’d throw that out there. I gave both three stars, but I liked Fat Slice’s pizza more. I performed a comparison of the two pizza places within the span of 20 minutes, and it was better in my opinion. The pizza was gi...

Berkeley, CA: Blondie's Pizza - "pizza on the go part 2"

2008-07-28T22:07:52-07:00

Review of Blondie's Pizza at 2340 Telegraph Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704-1613

by fattiusthebear:

I’ve decided to change my opinion on Blondie’s. Last time I went, the service was not speedy at all. The line took a long time, and it took like 5 minutes to get me a slice of pizza that was just sitting in front of me after I ordered. The cashier also was not friendly at all. ...

Berkeley, CA: Venus Restaurant - "delicious food and solid service"

2008-07-27T22:47:33-07:00

Review of Venus Restaurant at 2327 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704

by fattiusthebear:

Venus a nice place to eat at for a slightly fancier and higher quality meal, compared to many Berkeley restaurants. The all brick walls are a nice touch, and atmosphere is nice without being too fancy or anything. I am not sure if there is usually a line, but when I went in, there was a tabl...

Berkeley, CA: Nanayiro Restaurant - "average japanese with nice environment"

2008-07-26T00:29:46-07:00

Review of Nanayiro Restaurant at 2399 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704-1552

by fattiusthebear:

Nanayiro is a nice little Japanese restaurant in Downtown Berkeley. They have huge glass windows, and a very pleasant atmosphere. The service has been good whenever went, filling the water when needed and being prompt. The prices are pretty expensive, although I guess all sushi is usually e...

Berkeley, CA: Jupiter - "nice place to hang out"

2008-07-26T00:16:45-07:00

Review of Jupiter at 2181 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704

by fattiusthebear:

Jupiters is a huge restaurant that serves items such as pizza and beer. You can eat on the second floor, the first floor, or outside. It’s the type of place that would be good to take a bunch of friends and have a good time. That said, their pizzas are worth trying here. They are bet...
