Tomatina, Alameda CA

Had a pasta craving, stumbled upon this amazing place. Okay service, amazing food. I had pasta with wine. I enjoyed it. Give it a try!

It was Difficult to Order Not To Mention & they Don’t seem see you when your Ordering or you want to go Out after Eating.

Waiting more than half an hour for your food in a restaurant with only a couple of tables occupied may not sound too bad, but the terrible attitude of the woman who was not our waitress and came to throw two empty plates when we asked if there was a problem is UNACCEPTABLE. We feel bad for our server, he apologized many times for the misunderstanding with the order and he really looked sorry.

If you've ever been to the Olive Garden and wondered "where can I find even deeper mediocrity in faux Italian cuisine all while paying more but getting worse service? " look no further. You've found Tomatina.

Came in with a family in party of seven on a reservation. As we were being seated in the booth, the waitress counted our kids (all 6 and under) and told us we needed to sit separately because of Covid rules. Our tables couldn't even be adjacent. If we had six we could all sit together.seven = two separate tables with mom at one, dad at the other. Manager, Francisco confirmed and would not budge. Strangely, he couldn't see how nonsensical this policy was. A family tucked away in a corner booth, or a family split in two in different parts of the restaurant with little kids moving between parents? Which makes more Covid sense? The food isn't bad. It's not great. Decent pizza. But when you try to split of a family in the name of virus-worship, I'm sorry, but after many years, we shall not return.

Great venue to begin our careful venture back into the public dining sphere. Delicious food, friendly, communicative service, and a comfortable, off-street dining patio with heat lamps.

I thought everything was checked before being served for quality, however my DoorDash order arrived with brown molding lettuce, unsure if you couldn’t see the old lettuce needed to be thrown out instead served in my Caesar Salad, leaving me paying for something I couldn’t enjoy because of quality issues, signs of saving everything bag of brown lettuce, all them people helping in the front for? , or the manager should check to ensure safe food as being passed because this is a example of a fail,

Terrible experience, won't go back. They couldn't find my order even though I had a printed confirmation and told me if I still wanted it, I would have to wait along time. Then, they miraculously found it and the couldn't process the gift card. The rude manager somehow ran through a discount but the prices were adjusted higher! Check your receipts there because the often have been incorrect for me. The last time we went, they forgot 2 of the items I ordered and she told me that she doesn't process the orders so she couldn't help me. Linguini's just down the street!

There is no zero star otherwise I will give it to that lady and she's making fun of customers on top of disrespecting me before I come as a customer I'm a chef kitchen never seen that even in the 3rd world countries I feel disrespected like never no one did also was a couple behind me they just come in to take menu she told them can you step outside at what point can you be rude with someone the most important in any business is the customer service if she doesn't know
Tu vien et tu revien le service clientèle le plus important mama, les hôteliers sont les plus éduquées personnes au monde tale it from me

Ordered food for delivery, didn't arrive and person on the phone could not of cared less. Total to get refund from doordash and put phone down.

We saw a movie at the local Cinema and wanted to grab some dinner afterwards. It was only 20 minutes before closing time for the restaurant, but the staff were very kind and seated us without issue. Fast service and the food was very tasty.

Good place for lunch and a place to bring friends and family. The waitress was attentive and on-the-job. The food was well-prepared and the ingredients were fresh. The food is seasoned well thereby no extra seasoning is necessary. I am a lemonade aficionado and I recommend their lemonade. Overall, the restaurant gave me a good vibe. I recommend Tomatina for lunch. I will let you know what's it's like when I go there for dinner.

I really like this place overall. The food is good and fresh tasting. What keeps this from 5 stars is the fact service can be a little slow at times. It should not take 10 minutes or more to get acknowledged for a drink order alone. Though, once you get going, it seems to flow pretty well.

An excellent meal. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed what we ordered. Prices are very reasonable. We highly recommend this place!

Attentive service. Solid food at a good price (especially the pizza). Great location in the heart of Park street. For a great date night, swing by here before catching a movie in the theatre across the street.

There are not a lot of options for Italian food in Alameda. It is definitely not the best, but it not bad. It is however inexpensive compared to the others. Solid choice if you don't want to spend the time or money for a really nice Italian restaurant.

We waited twenty minutes for our drinks. They were served AFTER our meals. We're two ladies of a certain age. We were ignored. I'll never go back.

I've always had excellent service and excellent food here. They have a great kid's menu, but really sophisticated choices for adults, too. Everything is fresh and expertly made, even with tricky seasonal ingredients. I honestly can't think of a bad meal we've had here, and we go at least twice a month. A real treasure!

Went here for my birthday lunch. I love the salads there! Food was amazing. Service was top notch.

Great place overall, although on occasion the staff can be a bit lacking. The food is always great however. I prefer the calzone myself although my husband enjoys the sqlmon and daughter loves the pasta selections.
