    Celebrated a girlfriend’s birthday in the outdoor patio. We had a lovely time. The food was great as well as the service. Since it was Valentine’s weekend we barely managed to get a reservation but the seating area was comfortable because of the heaters even in February.

    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.
