“ We had a fabulous private room for our GT's 80 Birthday. What a wonderful meal we all had and such fabulous service by Julia . We will be back soon. ”
“ Went for Christmas and was pretty epic fr they were quick with the service but my damn family were an hour and a half late, so I apologize for that. They kept us busy with bread and appetizers so it was super epic even though they were so late! ”
“ We have had our staff party here for 2 years in a row and both experiences were amazing! This year we had Julia as our hostess and she was very helpful, cheerful and welcoming! I ordered the special which was the (forgot the name) spaghetti with mussels, clams, and lobster in a creamy red sauce. I also had Mexican love as my cocktail which has Mezcal in it so if you are into Mezcal you will like the hint of spice and smokey-ness to it! My food was AMAZING! The lobster is sweet and juicy! The mussels and clams tasted fresh and the sauce compliments so well! I also tried my colleagues' food : the Gnocchi was tender and savory, the Ravioli ala Arrivederci was also sooo good! Its sweet and savory and the butternut squash with bits of prosciutto in it gives that great balance! We had a large crowd so we were in a private room which was great because we were able to celebrate my birthday and do our exchange gifts! The room was cozy and spacious! We ended our night with a tiramisu cake for me! It was a great night! Will recommend Cafe Arrivederci ”
“ Café Arrivederci's service was very personable and attentive. I ordered the Ravioli di Spinaci--the pasta was done perfectly al dente and the tangy Meyer lemon cream sauce was absolutely delirious. My companion chose the rigatoni and a Pinot Grigio. Toward the end of our meal, a live guitarist was softly playing. Nice touch! We were grateful they turned off the last big screen TV when we requested. I found the movement on the TV incongruous to the lovely ambiance. ”
“ Food is outstanding. Service with humor. Outside is lovely as well as inside. We have made it a regular place for dining ”
“ 3.5 so rounded up to 4. An old neighborhood favorite of many, they have happy hour specials I would like to come back and try to give them another chance. More reasonably priced than some other Italian restaurants in San Rafael, their pasta and sauces were ok and hit a spot, just not THE spot. ”
“ I love going to Arrivederci. The restaurant is a hidden gem in San Rafael. The restaurant is well-appointed and spacious. It has a wonderful happy hour with choices of wine and spirits. I have eaten here several times with a group and with friends. The service is friendly and good. If the bar is full, they allow you to sit in other areas of the restaurant. There are a couple of different rooms, a small banquet room that seats about 15 or 20 and the outside patio is very nice, has a friendly setting, and has pergola awnings. The Lasagna is to die for and can easily be eaten for 2 meals. The pizza has generous sausage with added mushrooms and other ingredients. It worth the visit. ”
“ Live music on Tuesdays, jazz on Fridays. Decent size parking in front of their restaurant, ample street parking. The happy hour is super happy with bruschetta, meatballs, strong drinks, etc. Owner Ricardo and staff are gracious and friendly with attentive service. Never an empty glass. Perfect setting for wedding receptions, graduations, birthday celebrations, retirements, baby and bridal showers, etc. 'Til we meet again ~ grazie & see you on Yelp (SYOY)! ”
