Best European Restaurants in Newark

The food is outstanding. I've been here several times and I've never had a bad meal; the food is consistently excellent. My go-to place in the Tri-Valley for a special occasion.

Fabulous interior, super friendly service. Filet was under cooked for both of us (and the table next to us we saw) but overall wonderful gem

I really need to come here more often as it is a true gem in an otherwise less than stellar dining selection in Fremont. The food and the service are top notch. It is a small venue and so reservations are recommended. We dined for Valentine's dinner and between us we enjoyed the strawberry salad and lobster bisque soup, and a crab cake for starters, all of which were perfect. The steaks were tender and flavorful, cooked just right and I am rather particular so was quite impressed. Very nice wine selection, but I do wish they offered a cocktail menu. The topper for me was the chocolate raspberry cheescake. I normally prefer a very traditional and rich NY cheesecake, but this chocolate-infused variant was out of this world and I want to go back soon just so that I have enjoy that again. Il Porcino is a must to try in Fremont.

It was lovely and they made it so wonderful for Valentine’s Day with balloons and everything so festive and so accommodating with my 2 1/2 year-old grandson 

Had early Valentine's Day dinner and this is our go to place in Pleasanton. We are lucky to live only 5 minutes from downtown but would drive here no matter what for the food and service. We can decide to either have leisurely 1.5-2 hour dinner or eat and run in an hour and it is our choice. The service is always great and everyone is so attentive. The food is consistent and delicious. Our favorites are the octopus and cauliflower appetizers and the Lavraki and Halibut entrees.
