Very good Italian food at a moderate price. The atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable, and the waitstaff is friendly. The menu is pretty extensive, so you are sure to find a dish to your liking.

Although the quantity of food is ample, the food is consistently average at best. There is nothing extraordinary about this place, and you pretty much know what you are getting into when you go here. Standards such as spaghetti and meatballs and fettucini alfredo reign supreme here, but if you want something more creative or adventurous, I would suggest going elsewhere.

I LOVE this place, and the only reason I am giving it four stars instead of five is because the service is inconsistent. I would say about 75% of the time the staff is right there...filling your water, taking plates away...without you having to ask. Other times, it is hard to flag someone down. I really don't understand why! However, I have to give the staff props for getting the food to the table right away. If you are super hungry, you will not be disappointed as you will get your food almost immediately. Speaking of the food, I always order the spring rolls and a beef or curry dish, and I have never been disappointed. The food is excellent.

Although the dishes are very good, what I like most about this place is the ambience. It is very romantic and cozy.

Fresh sushi and really good bento boxes make this a must eat. There is about a ten minute wait when they are really busy, but it is well worth it. Check out their web site at www.e-sushihouse.com for an extensive menu. I drive from Emeryville to go to this place, it's that good. Don't forget to end the meal with some mochi ice cream...yummy!
