Café Arrivederci 11 G Street, San Rafael, CA 94901

"We went for a graduation dinner and was disappointed by the food quality. Calamari was good. My linguine vongole was bitter with wine flavor still in it. My daughter thought the fettucine carbonara tasted off (how can anything with pancetta not taste amazing?). Pizza magherita was ok. Their friend came over to our table and her penne bolognese was liquidity. Been here once before and expected better quality food for $120+ for 1 adult and 2 teens, no alcohol. Service was good and food was disappointing."

"Our Friday 630PM dinner for four was amazing. That's why I'm taking the time to write this review. We sat inside. The indoor decor was bright and spacious. It was warm so we didn't sit outside. Outdoor is a garden setting with many private nooks and many beautiful flowers and vines. As I waited for my party I sat at the bar and watched the bartender make splendid cocktails. The dining room was busy with a older crowd of Marin regulars. I spotted a fellow ex Dipsea runner at a large family table. We were efficiently seated at a private side dining area as requested. Our food came piping hot The portions were large and we shared our entrees. Everything was extraordinary. Our server was fun as we chatted and she made good recommendations. Thank you for a wonderful meal and for holding the bar high on your quality!"

"This place is good, we have eaten here a couple of times. During our recent visit the service was not the best but it's a good local Italian place that we will likely continue visiting. The service was good previously but this visit it took a while to get helped, to order, to get bread we asked for butter twice, and then at the end the check never came. We had to go over to the waiter to pay. My cousin and I got salads, I added shrimp, it was good. My uncle got a seafood pasta that he loved. My aunt got chicken that was overcooked. The parking is awful, try to find parking elsewhere."

"We ordered scallops and shrimp pasta. The scallops were undercooked which made the pasta taste like seawater."

"Went to this restaurant at lunch for the first time under new management with my husband. We both loved the food. We were sharing Pappardelle Con Funghi (Wide ribbon pasta, roasted mixed mushrooms, white wine, Calabrian chilies, arugula, pecorino) and Melanzane Alla Parmigiana (Breaded eggplant, mozzarella, parmigiana, marinara) and they were delicious! The restaurant had a good vibe. The staff was nice and friendly. We’ll be back again!"
