Negri's Original Occidental

We started with Watermelon Margaritas and Burrata, loved the pasta dishes; Ravioli, Prawns with Angel Hair and Gnocchi with the Seghesio Zinfandel and finished with Tiramisu. It was a delicious dinner and my in-laws were impressed.

The food was excellent! Service seemed slower than normal and I wish they would have opened the other side of the restaurant because the small area that is opened got so busy quickly and then it got super loud, you really couldn’t hear the person sitting next to you. But if you’re looking for great pizza and pasta this is a great place to go!

This is my 2nd time eating here and the 1st time was before covid. It was pretty good before covid with a variety of dishes but now there is a limited menu (pasta, pizza). They also closed the main dining room and now you have to eat in the bar area. It was loud and noisy. Tables were spaced out which is good. The food came out slowly. We ordered garlic bread and lasagna and chicken picatta. I thought we would get our garlic bread first but no. It came out with the meal. I also noticed we ordered before one table and they got their food before us. I thought it maybe because they got pasta which is faster to make.
The lasagna was a little too meaty, the chicken picatta was ok. The garlic bread was good though.
I do not think we will be returning. We were a disappointed in the meal.

Great place Great Food. Best Raviolis and Gnocchi and Brushetta! Best of all Great Service! If you miss this place in Occidental then you've truly missed out on such a great place to Dine! Love Love Negri's Original Occidental
Don't pass it up!

Negris used to be my favorite restaurant, but they just aren't what they used to be. Now that they don't do family style it's not really worth eating there. The restaurant is closed so you eat in the bar on uncomfortable bar stools the service wasn't very good at all and the food used to be better quality. It's unfortunate that such a great restaurant has gone down hill so much since COVID

Our friends took us there, for a great dinner experience. Everything was exceptional, the drinks, the food the service. We were having such a great time we closed the place. The staff was very gracious about us hang out. We'll looking forward to trying lunch.
