Biancoverde at Hotel Mac Restaurant

My friend and I celebrated July 4th here for lunch and loved it. The lunch special menu was varied and very reasonable. We had non-alcoholic drinks, salads, pasta (one was gluten-free) and desserts and enjoyed everything. Service was excellent and the food scrumptious!

The City of Richmond has a reputation for crime, and I would have never imagined what a safe downtown it has. Biancoverde is in a Victorianish building We had a late lunch, and I must say that it was simply superb I had the Antipasti, Crudo Di Manzo. This was simply superb. This beef carpaccio with arugula and red onions , doused wirh a vinaigrette was the best I've ever eaten. What a delicious meal. My brother, a local of the neighborhood, had the Vongole Limone. He enjoyed each bite I have to go back to try more dishes

Delicious meal! Delicious glass of wine! Enjoyed the love booth. Tasty chicken Caesar salad, rigatoni, Panna cotta, coconut pie. Beautiful ambience and excellent service.

Wow, what a gem! We went here for our anniversary and it was simply delightful. The staff are incredibly attentive, the atmosphere is lovely, we even had a piano, violin duet downstairs. Really wonderful restaurant.

Ever since we moved to the Bay I’ve been wanting to try this place. But it closed down during Covid and then opened under new ownership. Let me say our first experience did not disappoint. Cocktails were unique tasty and strong. Food was top notch. Wifey got the beet salad with salmon and couldn’t stop raving about it. I got pizza and it was really good (that’s after coming back this week from the east coast where great pizza is at a surplus). Vibe and service was exceptional. 🙌

Absolutely classic old school atmosphere with great food. Sat at the bar and had the East Brothers Pilsner. Had the minestrone soup and salmon. Love the Pacific Snapper too. Have had it numerous times in the past. Always delicious too. Highly recommend.

Love this old world place! Love the atmosphere, food, service. All of it!

We enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Can't remember exactly what we had...looks like my hubby had lasagna and i had some white fish...The desert was pumpkin cheese cake..Our server was polite and patient.The bartender did a fantastic job on the mixed drink ..:) would go back...

If you're looking for a historic feel, this is the perfect restaurant. It's romantic, vintage, elegant and sophisticated. Great for a date night or a nice restaurant to dine with your in-laws. Point Richmond is also great for parking and the location is right across the Richmond bridge. Convenient and easy to get to. We ordered the steak and lobster ravioli as our shared entrees and I loved the lobster ravioli so much that I sometimes order it on Doordash, lol! For our appetizers, we had the beef carpaccio, clams, and kept stuffing our faces with the bread, lol Food was definitely a 10/10. Can't wait to explore their menu a bit more!

Located inside the historic Hotel Mac in Point Richmond, Biancoverde is a great place to enjoy lunch or dinner. It's been awhile since I've visited so I'm glad I got a chance to check it out. The service was a little slow even though it wasn't very busy but overall we enjoyed our lunch. I decided to try one of the lunch specials and I ordered the Polpette Panini, which is filled with meatballs and marinara sauce. It came with garlic fries. It was good and super filling. So much so that I didn't have room for dessert. Maybe next time!

We haven't been to Hotel Mac for a meal in years, but this new Italian iteration of their restaurant had a delicious looking menu for both cocktails and entrees. I made a reservation through their app which connects to Open Table, but somehow it didn't take. We were lucky to be seated for 7:30, on a Friday for six. This was for my birthday on 2nd of January, so holiday decorations were still up and they were beautiful. It just gave off the most warm and welcoming atmosphere. Very enjoyable. We had bruschetta, steamed clams and beef carpaccio for appetizers. All were amazing - nicely plated and delicious! It would have been nice to have more than three pieces of bruschetta for the order, but they were tasty. Entrees included - chicken Alfredo, mushroom risotto, pepperoni pizza, lasagna, tortellini and on their holiday menu - the pappardelle di aragosta. The sauces were all so flavorful. The cream sauces on the Alfredo and tortellini so smooth and creamy, in a good way. The aragosta was loaded with seafood, even lobster, with sweet tomatoes and a creamy herb sauce. To die for!!! The waiter was friendly, but seemed short staffed, since he had to bus his own tables. It took him a while to take our entree orders, and my drink order was not right. He offered to make it right, aearersr

Biancoverde is located in the historic Hotel Mac. From the entrance you immediately see the large bar with plenty of stools for seating. There are other seats sprinkled throughout the dining area as well. The friendly bartender gave me a few menus; the regular menu, a drink menu and a lunch menu. Everything looked inviting, but I opted for the fettuccine gamberi from the lunch menu. The lunch menu is offered daily and has a variety of items to choose from. The lunch menu is a great value for the portion received. I also ordered a deliciously crafted cocktail. Both the pasta and cocktail were excellent, and the restaurant has the feel of nostalgia so definitely check them out.

Excellent place for a date night. Fantastic service, fantastic food and cocktails. I had the Scampi Di Gamberetti and my wife had Salmone Alla Griglia, both which had great flavor, the chili in the pasta was really good and the sauce on the salmon was also tasty. Fritto misto was also good.

Such amazing food & expert service! We had the red snapper & salmon .........perfectly cooked & sauced! The Agrume salad with oranges & feta was so good! Service was warm & welcoming while remaining professional! Top notch spot in Pt. Richmond .......... Yeh for us! Can't wait to go back!,

A perfect reminder that great places exist outside of San Francisco and Oakland. Welcoming vibe the minute you walk in. From the look and feel to the smiles from everyone. They handled our party of 6 with grace and ease making sure we all felt attended too. The two dishes I sampled in this trip with the classic Chicken parm served with mashed potatoes and sautéd mixed vegetables with still some "bite" to them. Which is how I love them. The chicken was good and moist. The sauce wasn't too sweet and layered with plenty of cheese. My partner had the risotto with halibut and shrimp with lemon and spinach. A nice size portion and the aroma was as tempting and the dish tasted. My hint: order the mixed olive appetizers. Perfect to snack on over cocktails and catchup.

We had a delicious dinner last night at Biancoverde. The interior of the beautiful Hotel Mac building has been artfully lightened and brightened and divided into more private dining spaces. Every staff member with whom I had contact did their job well and was welcoming. The food was excellent. I had a beet salad with an interesting mango vinaigrette dressing, bits of Gorgonzola and chunks of mango. Tasty and healthy! I also got Fettuccine Alfredo with mushrooms that was wonderfully al dente and had the perfect amount of sauce, not a greasy mess like some Alfredo dishes. Quite exquisite. My friend got a Pizza Calzone with mushrooms. I'll be back for the Calzone myself - I got a taste and it was light and tasty - wonderful cheese and mushrooms inside. You can choose among many sauces and types of protein for the calzone and various types of pasta - you can really customize your meal to your taste! All around, I was really impressed and I'll be back!

The food was OK. I really like this seafood risotto. It was delicious and the people were friendly. my deduction of the one star is regarding the building itself. I understand it's pretty old... But it's really in need of a revamp/renovations. My main concern is the bathroom. It smells so terrible! The odor is mostly due to an old building smell with zero ventilation. Just going into the bathroom just made my stomach churn and the food however, delicious... it made the experience bleh... Oh, and the fries... I wish they labeled it as potato wedges and not truffle fries. I thought they were actual french fries and was pretty disappointed. Wedges just are so much more heavy and wasn't the taste that I wanted. They were not bad... it just wasn't what I was craving.

I met Lori and Toni here for lunch. I have wanted to try this restaurant since it opened. It did not seem like a place I would want to go and order takeout. I was delighted that Lori chose this restaurant for our monthly lunch. The Biancoverde is located in the historic Hotel Mac in Point Richmond. The majority of the tables are located upstairs, there is not an elevator. We sat in the bar area. Everything on the menu was tempting me to over-order. As much as I wanted to have at least two dishes, other than my final choice, I knew I could only eat one, and that I could return and order another dish. I finally decided on the build-your-own pasta. My choices were spaghetti with meat sauce and added sautéed buttons and shitake mushrooms. It was delicious. I was pleased that there was a lot of sauce. The serving was so generous I had a full meal the next day. We shared an order of Frito Misto. The squid was tender and not the least bit oily I did not try the prawns. I had to park a few blocks from the restaurant. After lunch, I took a walk around this small hamlet to my car.

Came here for dessert around 8PM with some of my friends months ago and found ourselves wondering why we never visited sooner since we all lived in or grew up in the area! The space is both homey and elegant, and it's a good spot for a nice settled dinner or a cute little date. The ambience is welcoming yet intimate, and the interior design of the place is elevated and comforting. We ordered the following: - Banana Caramella (this was delicious and refreshing!) - Tiramisu (amazingly soft and light) - Panacotta (yummy!) - Cappuccino (excellent quality... and it kept me up to study after!) I appreciate that the service was quick and that the staff were patient, helpful, and accommodating for our group! I'd love to return again to try the meal options in the future!

I've dined here (under whatever name) a few times over the years. Once was Lunch with some Chevron collogues and then there were a couple of dates before I met Gayle. None of these were as remarkable as Gayle taking me here for my last birthday and combined with an overnight stay upstairs at the Hotel Mac. CONS - The private party in the back (2nd Floor) kind of sucked the table service for the rest of us out of the room a few non-critical times. - The 4 women at the booth behind us basically lacked a filter to moderate their volume and allow my lovely Bride and I to hear each other. That mitigated a bit after a few directed stares and them getting past their "what's your problem?" expressions. Without these 2 CONS, this would have been a top notch 5 Star experience. PROS - We scored a very nice table along the front rail of the 2nd Floor balcony. We enjoyed watching the bustle of the room below and the downstairs piano music. - Great food, good wine, tasty dessert, and a wonderful evening with each other. - Very Good service overall (see above). - Great convenience to our Hotel Mac room and for a later hand-in-hand "help the digestion" walk around the neighborhood after our meal.

This was something we saw on YouTube about Hotel Mac and they mentioned a restaurant. We decided to go there and try it. It did not disappoint. First of all I love the setting. The bar and lights were great and the wooden stairs and railings were a nice touch. They have Live Music on Fridays and Saturdays so definitely could tributes to the relaxing vibe. We were seated over looking the bar and downstairs. We ordered to start with the Fritto Misto and it was delicious. But the free focaccia bread stole the show. It was warm and freshly baked. Mama Mia. We ordered the Bisteka and pizzas which by the way were made in their focaccia bread so yeah! Delicious! A dining spot that brings you back in time. Great neighborhood. Great restaurant. Great service. Makes me thankful living here.

Service and ambience was superb. The food was mediocre. I got a seafood pasta in marinara sauce and my wife got something similar and they tasted exactly the same even though they were different dishes. It seemed to me like they make one big batch of cioppino and use it on all of their seafood type dishes that require red sauce. It definitely did not taste like it was made to order. My wife and I agreed that we didn't need to come back. Such a shame because it is such a cute spot and has a nice off Bourbon street type vibe.

Quite possibly one of the best restaurant's I've ever been too. The drinks, the food, the employees top notch, excellent. Great atmosphere. Enjoyed from beginning to end.

After after going for a hike at Point San Pablo, my friend and I decided we wanted a bite to eat. I drove us to Point Richmond to the Biancoverde Restaurant that had recently opened in the historic Hotel Mac that was built in 1911. We walked into the Hotel Mac at around 2:30, and my friend and I agreed that we had arrived at the right place. The bar had bar stools with velvety cushions in rich, warm colors that were very inviting. There were different areas to sit in. We ended up choosing their room with stained glass windows. It felt like we were in Italy. We both had a Mojito that was refreshing. Then we decided to split an Insalata di Barbabietole--it was delicious!!! The roasted beets went especially well with the mango and basil dressing on greens. We also had Ravioli Formaggio with their in-house meatballs and mariana sauce. We were able to choose which pasta with whatever meat/fish and sauce we wanted. It was yummy! Food. ***** Service ***** Ambiance ***** There was free parking on the street. Also, Point Richmond is a cute little town to walk around in.

We have lived in the bay area all of our lives and have always wanted to eat at the Hotel Mac. The structure is really lovely and it looks like an old school establishment. My husband and I have lived and traveled all over the world and have eaten at many wonderul restaurants over the years. The Bay Area has so many good ones and we love trying new places. We finally tried this restaurant simply because the outside looks so charming. I booked a 6:30 reservation for Valentine's Day dinner and we were really looking forward to it. Then, on the day of our reservation, I get an email that says our reservation has been changed to 7:00. Who does this??? I have NEVER in my life had a restaurant just randomly change a reservation time. What is the point in making one? Well, we just didn't let it bother us because we were looking forward to a nice Valentiine's Day dinner together. When we arrived, we loved the inside! It had the deco-style decor and really great ambience on the main floor. The bar area is gorgeous. There was also a piano player in the bar area. Really lovely! Then we were seated right away...on the upper level. In the back there is a very cozy room. We were not seated there...there is an upper level and that area was NOT cozy and very little ambiance. There were some tables that were OK...overlooking the bar area and some next to windows. We literally got the worst table in the entire restaurant and I should have asked to be moved but it looked like there were no other options. All the other tables also had this nice little cozy lamp on the table...ours not only didn't have that on the table, but we were sitting under these overhead, bright lights that were shining right on our table...and right next to a brick wall...no window. It was awful! So...we just got unlucky with that. Literally ...every other table in the restaurant would have been better. Then the waiter brought the menu...it was Prix Fixe and I had NO idea that was the case when I made the reservation. The cost was $95 per person. Way more than we really wanted to spend but thought, oh well...if at least the food is good, then it's worth it. The food was NOT good at all! His salad was OK but very small portion. My soup was tasty but not hot. The main courses-he got the steak that he ordered medium rare and it was very rare...he had to send it back. It was also very thin and had a lot of gristle. My lobster tail was tiny and cold and needed something to dip it in...like butter or a nice sauce. It was undercooked as well. The mashed potatoes and greens were OK. The desserts were fine...not anything special. We were soooo disappointed in the whole experience. However, I saw other people's dishes when we were sitting there as the waiter walked by...and theirs looked pretty good. Who knows...we may have just ordered the wrong thing? Since it's an Italian restaurant, we should have ordered pasta, but since it was a Prix Fixe menu...there was only one pasta option and it wasn't what we wanted. Before I made the reservation, I looked at the regular menu and I saw so many different selections that sounded wonderful and we both had a good idea of what we wanted to order before we arrived. That Prix Fixe menu was a HUGE disappointment but might have been my fault as I don't know for sure if it was advertised on their website that it would be Prix Fixe. I just typed in the menu information on my phone and saw it in that format and it all looked great...then I just called and made the reservation. So, not sure if they actually advertised that menu but if so, we would not have went. And...very expensive at $95 a person. Also, a good restaurant will bring out good bread. There was no bread unless you paid extra for that. It was really a rip off. We felt gouged, and really unhappy with our entire experience. The waiter was OK...but not great. When my husband said the steak was not medium rare...he was inspecting it and kind of hesitated about taking it back. At a good restaurant, he would have immediately apologized and taken it right away. The second one came back medium rare...but the cut of meat was awful. Still thin and a lot of gristle. My husband said it was one of the worst steaks he has ever had. I took a bite of it...it was for sure one of the worst I have ever had. And for me...it was the worst lobter tail I have ever had in any restaurant in my entire life of eating out at restaurants. Will we return? We really want to give it another try because we feel if we were sitting in a better part of the restaurant and ordered an Italian dish...we may have had a much better experience. I see there are good reviews, so I think we just got really unlucky last night. Overall-ambiance is fantastic if you don't sit where we were. Food was not good (at least what we ordered) and way overpriced.

We went over after an amazing matinee at the Masquers playhouse to have some drinks. Ended up staying off dinner. I'm on Keto hardcore right now and didn't think there was anything I could have. But I ended up getting the ribeye with no potatoes. It was outstanding! And a large steak. It was delicious. The bartender was amazing when we were having cocktails. The server was wonderful when we had dinner upstairs. It is a great wonderful spot. And love the piano lounge up front by the bar.

I celebrated my birthday here with family and I must say that the service was impeccable, the wait staff was attentive from the moment we walked in, to the moment we got up from our seats. For starters, we ordered the calamari, and for dinner we had the steak (mushroom sauce was so good), lobster ravioli, spaghetti, and the shrimp scampi. For dessert we had tiramisu and creme brulee. The old fashioned and Margaritas were excellent as well. Such a cute bar area, live music too! My 8-year-old daughters review: 1. Great service 2. Clean bathrooms (always a plus) 3. Delicious food We are definitely going back soon!

Found this hidden gem and so happy I did! It's very easy to book a reservation on OpenTable for Biancoverde at Hotel Mac. When we showed up I was surprised how cute the restaurant was. When we went inside it was still decorated for Christmas which was amazing! We were seated on the second floor at a two seat table. This restaurant is so cute! The pictures on Yelp don't do it justice. Okay okay on to the part you all want to know...the food. My boyfriend and I order our drinks...water and a shirley temple..the shirley temple was for my boyfriend lol We were given focaccia with olive oil and balsamic vinegar while we decided on what we wanted to order. I can't express how amazing and delicious the focaccia was. The bread was freshly made and smelled so good! For an appetizer we ordered the bruschetta al pomodoro. It comes with three and it was good. For our main course I ordered the Lasagne di Manzo and my boyfriend created his own pasta. He got the penne pasta with the spicy arrabiata and added Italian sausage. My boyfriend loves spicy food but he said he wasn't expecting it to be as spicy as it was. The lasagne was so good! I've had lasagne where the inside was ice cold. This lasagne was pipping hot in the center. Of course we left room for dessert. We ordered the creme brulee. It was delicious! I had left overs and the Lasagne di Manzo taste as good as it did the day I ordered it. The waiters that helped us were amazing! Very polite and attentive. I would definitely come back and try the other items on the menu.

Lori, Terry and I met here for lunch today. It was Lori's choice and I was delighted because I have wanted to go back. I drove over and would have been on time if I had been able to find closer parking, but the little lot was full and there was no street parking nearby. I drove down the street past the hotel and found a parking spot near the firehouse, on the opposite side of the street. I made a U turn, actually more of a Y turn and after several tries I made it into the spot, silently apologizing to the people I was holding up. Then I walked down to the hotel. Lori was arriving just as I was. Terry was already there and seated in my favorite spot overlooking the bar at the top of the stairs. I love the energy there. But the stairs would have been too difficult for Lori, who's on crutches, so we were seated in the area across from the bar where Nina and I sat last year. We sat in the window and the chairs swiveled, making it easy to get out. We were given menus and looked them over. We agreed to share a fritto misto to start, We were brought focaccio w/ tiny ramekins of olive oil dipping sauce for each of us and it was much better and fresher than what Nina and I had last year. Our sever was Teresa and she was incredibly patient and upbeat, a real angel. The fritto misto was delivered and it was marvelous. Lori graciously let Terry and me eat all the calamari tentacles while she had some rings. In addition to the calamari there were fried shrimp, green beans and a variety of vegetables. There were sliced red jalapenos. I tried one and found it a bit spicy but not intolerable. I didn't have any more, though. I will let the others tell you what they ordered in their reviews. I ordered linguine w/ pesto and prawns. When it was brought I looked at it and laughed at myself because I had ordered linguine rather than fettucine. It's not the first time I have absentmindedly ordered the wrong thing. Sometimes I will open my mouth and the wrong thing comes out. Alan has confirmed it in the past. At any rate, I much prefer broader pasta. Regardless, the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and it was a delicious lunch in fine company. I have a refrigerator magnet that reads, "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused!" and it's true.

Good ambiance in a charming part of town. Service was excellent. Salad very fresh. Exceptional bread pudding!

Consistently delicious, fresh, succulent food. I'm so appreciative this place exists and recommend it to everyone. A beautiful space to spend time. AND by using DoorDash, I feel like I'm in Italy with room service from a Trattoria.

I have been twice and enjoyed both times. Apps:The Fritto misto is good and the coastal sauce is great. The "L' Insalata di Barbabietole" salad is great. I have added on protein because it won't fill you up by itself. Entree: "Risotto al Frutti di Mare - Salmon, mussels, calamari, prawns and clams, tomato concasse & basil" is fabulous! The lobster ravioli is good, but not spectacular for the price. Maybe sprinkle some lobster meat on top? (I wouldn't have known there was lobster in there.) Desserts: The tiramisu is kinda bland. Ok, but not life changing...could be from the grocery store. The Panna Cotta is just ok. Definitely have the "Torta Tenerina - Chocolate brownie topped with candied nuts, vanilla bean gelato & rum caramel" because that is epic!

Beautiful place in a historic hotel. Loved the ambiance and the server! Thank you so much

The food was excellent! It's my third time trying the salad with mango. It was perfect! We split the risotto with funghi. The service was also excellent! The restaurant ambiance was perfect for a classy weeknight dinner out! https://www.biancoverdehotelmac.com/general-7

I feel slightly bad giving the place 4 stars. The ambiance itself is super cute. Perfect for a date night or with friends. The service was overall good. The hostess was super cute and sweet and had some great recommendations and loved her vibe. The waiter was extremely awkward tbh. He didn't really any recommendations on the food menu also not very helpful on the drink menu either. So just was a little bit awkward. But not the end of the world at all. The food was good. The cocktails were slightly disappointing. Not super bad or anything just nothing to write home about at the same time. I had a lemon drop which is pretty hard to mess up for the most part. It was fine. Food was decent just wasn't blown away either. It is very nice to have a new fun/ cool spot in Pt. Richmond so I am a fan overall.

Finally had the opportunity to try this place. We made a reservation and arrived were greeted and seated right away. Quite a few people dining. The was someone playing the piano in the lounge area. We ordered the bread it was very garlicky and good. Tried a hot toddy with Hennessy it was nice. My husband had the autumn mule it was good too. I had the Shrimp scampi it was good but the pasta could have been a little more seasoned but it was good with good sized shrimp. My husband had the lobster ravioli which was very good. We had carrot cake for dessert a little different than what I am used to but it was very good. We would come back and dine again.

I was looking forward to a cocktail and an appetizer after work. I met some friends at the sparsely attended bar. I sat down right in front of one of two bar tenders. He never even looked at me let alone offered a greeting. Very poor behavior from a service professional. I left after 15 minutes of being ignored. I had been here before and had a good experience. No longer enthusiastic to go back.

My husband and I are in our mid to late 80s, so we're still reluctant to dine out unless there's an outdoor area. We end up having food delivered for what used to be our date night out. Biancoverde has become our favorite restaurant because the quality of whatever we order is really high and the packaging of the food clearly has the consumer in mind. The risotto with seafood is a big hit with us, as is the chicken marsala. But we're looking forward to trying other dishes as well. Bravo to the staff and the chef!

The food was amazing and filling. We got the lobster ravioli and the seafood risotto and ate every bite. We'll absolutely be back!

I have loved hotel Mac for many years and was upset at losing it during covid. Found that Lara was running it then...loved the music, food, etc. Now, I have been there 3 times with new ownership, twice for lunch, Robin the greatest waitress. Have had muscles and wine. Friday night at 6pm . I truly enjoyed the great music from Brad, baritone horn, and Michael, piano. Also, had delicious muscles and Sauvignon blanc again.

We came in a Saturday evening. Space is roomy with a lot of different seating areas, ie bar, lounge, restaurant. We had homemade bread- 3 orders! For the 4 of us, lasagna, pesto pasta, meatball, risotto, salads, brownie and crème brûlée. Everything was tasty and we especially enjoyed the desserts. The lasagna tater good but a bit watery for some reason. Service was attentive and friendly.

Delicious food! Great service! We went there for a Christmas party and the ambiance was so festive.

The ambiance was super cute. Great for date night! I went with 3 other people and we each got a drink or two. The drinks were great! We tried the lemon drop, aromatic gin n tonic, and the sangria, and they were all soo good! We tried the tortellini, the veal marsala, and a pizza. The only thing we did not love was that the pizza was a little on the soggy side. Also do not skip on the garlic bread and the foccacia because they were soo good. Lastly, the service was great! They were soo attentive and would definately go again.

Four of us came for dinner on a weekend evening. To my surprise, it was easy to find street parking near the restaurant. Biancoverde struck me immediately as a big step up from the previous Hotel Mac restaurant(s) in terms of decor and functionality. The inside looks nice, and the place had lots of energy. Most of the tables were full; the crowd seemed happy and fairly young. The servers and host were friendly and competent. The Biancoverde menu is simple -- pizzas, pastas and specials. You can see the same ingredients appearing as pizza toppings and as pasta sauces. I decided to stay simple and ordered a caprese salad (listed among the appetizers) and a dish of linguine with meatballs and spicy red sauce. The caprese salad was OK, but not great -- I was bothered by the industrial tomatoes at a time when there are great early girls to be had in all the markets. I was not crazy about the meatballs, which had more bread in them than I would have preferred. The wine list was definitely interesting. I was delighted to see two wines by the glass from R&B cellars on Canal Blvd. There were also plenty of cocktails to be ordered. We stayed away from the cocktails and ordered only one glass of white wine; that's because our companions brought in a bottle of Bordeaux-style wine that they had been saving for the occasion. (The corkage fee was $25.) If I had to rate Biancoverde on food alone, I'd probably choose three stars. The extra star is for the uptick in decor and energy.

It's been decades since we have dined at the historic Hotel Mac. When we heard that the owners of Mi Casa Grill, which we are a fan of, has taken over the restaurant at Hotel Mac, and reinvigorated the menu and the interior space, we were excited to try it out. We made a reservation for our anniversary celebration. When we got there, we were pleasantly surprised at the renovated interior space. Across the bar was a nice sitting area with a piano (live music was provided the night of our visit). The former dark interior is now brightly lit with new light fixtures and ceiling tiles. The bar is beautiful with modern stools. The dining area now comprised of 3 areas: the mezzanine overlooking the bar, a cozy and larger backroom, and a couple of romantic tables for two by the staircase with red carpets. We chose the mezzanine area as it has large windows overlooking the street. The dinner menu was quite comprehensive, with good list of appetizers, salads and soups, main entrees, seconds, and desserts. We started with the Melon e Prosciutto and Insalata di Barbabietole (beets salad). The portions were generous, and we were already nearly full after we consumed the appetizers. Then came our entrees, which were the lobster ravioli and Linguine Pescatore. The lobster ravioli was delicious, but it was also very creamy and heavy. The seafood linguine had a lot of seafood (mussels, clams, calamari, fish, prawns) and the tomato-based broth was spot-on. The portion was also generous, so I ended up packing leftovers as I needed to save room for desserts. We selected the pana cotta with berries compote, and the coconut custard pie. Both were wonderful and also came in generous portions. The servers were attentive and efficient. We enjoyed our experience at Hotel Mac, and afterwards we walk around the lovely Pt. Richmond square. The buildings looked charming with the spotlights and the illuminated window displays, as if the buildings had make-up on.

2 words. Lobster Ravioli. Get them. I was seriously taken back by the complexity of the dish. Like a flower that slowly opens, I found myself questioning how the chef had achieved such a sincerely creamy texture, while not being laden with a heaviness or oiliness that many cream sauces posses. Before writing my review I glanced at what others had written & I noticed a review that said that the lemon accents overpowered the dish... however I COMPLETELY disagree. If you're looking for basic, then this isn't your place. I am a person who tends to not like lemon on savory foods. Give me a taco & I won't spoil it with lemon. It's a very powerful flavor & can definitely be overpowering as it usually is for me as well. However, I found the use of the lemon to be heightening. It felt like the chef had reimagined a lobster ravioli with citrus notes, garlic & tart sun dried tomatoes that was fun to eat. A new take on a traditional dish that was still comfort food, but more elegant. Jose Luis gave us excellent service. He made recommendations that felt honest & were really helpful. For dessert, I am a bread pudding fan. My partner had the banana one. Holy hell. They were both lovely. I did like the banana a little more, because the caramelized sugar that crunched covering the bananas, with the ice cream & salty walnuts... paired with a rich bourbon that neither of us anticipated made it really pop. About half way through our desserts we decided that these two delights needed a wedding, so we combined them into the banana dish & once the soft texture of the bread pudding was combined with the melted ice cream & bourbon sauce in the dish... the result was nothing less than spectacular. Try it. I dare ya. The ambiance felt like we stepped back into a time when things were simpler, when people loved great food & took their time in preparing & enjoying it with no haste. The owners are lovely. They greeted us personally & I love knowing that the money we spent is going to a sweet local family with kids. Some people just know how to make others feel welcome. They walk with kind & genuinely caring energy & the place is covered in it. Not to mention filled with history. If those walls could talk! Thank you for a lovely experience. Our new date night spot for sure.

I know it isn't fair to review a new restaurant on the first day of a soft opening, but I predict that they will be very successful. The seating hostess greeted us by the front door. The mezzanine was already full so we were brought to a table in the main dining room. Two or three other tables were already seated so it felt pretty comfortable. Complimentary rosemary-scented focaccia and unsalted butter was brought to the table. We started with an appetizer (melon and prosciutto) and two glasses of Sangiovese. We nibbled on that with the bread and looked over the menu, then ordered a few more dishes to round out our dinner. The dishes we ordered were well prepared, fresh and delicious. Their menu offers multiple options - choose your pasta, your sauce, and a choice of protein to go with. You can also customize your own pizza or calzone as well. Next time! Our salads (Insalata di Caesar and Insalata de Barbabietole) were well dressed with a light and refreshing dressings. I thought the Caesar could have used a little more anchovy, but then, I am a girl who eats them straight from the tin, lol. I had a taste (well, more than that) of hubby's fettuccine alfredo. The pasta had a nice al dente bite to it and the noodles were perfectly coated, not swimming in sauce. It was a generous portion and as the sauce was quite rich, we could not finish it all. My veal marsala was also delicious. The meat was tender and well seasoned. The sauce was a bit light on the marsala, but there were plenty of mushrooms and overall was very tasty. The assorted vegetables and mash were also quite well prepared. We ended dinner with a slice of tiramisu and a glass of port. Originally, it was hard to choose dessert (he wanted the panna cotta), but I decided to start at the top of the menu and work our way through it on following visits. Who knows ... maybe I will sit at the bar and order dessert sometime. Although there are a few teeny details to iron out, I have high hopes for this restaurant. The staff is eager to provide good service with a smile. The menu is fairly large and there are good options all around. I believe they are planning to include gluten free options but don't quote me on that. There are definitely vegetarian options, not sure about vegan option as yet. The dining rooms were redone very nicely and are very comfortable. They paid a lot of attention preserving "The Booth", an intimate table for two, where many proposals have been made and accepted. The wine cellar was also revamped and has a bit more room for a private party and can seat up to 16 guests at a beautifully finished live edge table. I liked the touch lamps on the tables. And the bar looks better than ever. Reservations can be made at Open Table (https://www.opentable.com/r/biancoverde-at-hotel-mac-richmond), or you can take your chances with a walk in. Biancoverde definitely deserves a visit, whether it be a date night out, special occasion, or you just want to treat yourself to a special and delightful experience.

This place is fantastic! I ordered the seafood risotto and it was exquisite. I also ordered the brownie caramel dessert and it was fantastic. I really love the environment here at the hotel Mack. This is a great venue. The service here was great and they made sure water was always filled. It's really nice to have something different in the Point Richmond area. Definitely returning to this place.

Exquisite! I just wish they had a kids menu and would leave the water bottle on the table when understaffed. We went to this restaurant to celebrate my in-laws 50th anniversary. I am not a fan of Italian food, but I was blown away by the quality of the food here. I ordered the eggplant lasagna. Each piece of eggplant was roasted to perfection. I could literally taste the high quality EVOO used to roast each piece. It was toped with a sauce that creamy and delicious, obviously homemade by the thyme twig I found in my dish. The only negative was the casserole itself was SALTY. Maybe this is why I ran out of water. I did consider helping myself from the server's station. I called ahead as I have a picky 8 year old. They have no kids menu and were unwilling to make smaller portions. So her buttered noodles were $22. I wish this restaurant would make itself a little more approachable to families. All of our dishes were creamy including the pesto, except my husband's linguini with clams. He finished his portion, and left the restaurant hungry. He said his bowl was mostly clam shells. He finished my eggplant at home that night. Boo! I also tried the caramelized banana. The rum sauce was again, exquisite. Everyone enjoyed their various desserts.

The cost of the food and the drinks do not match the service. The Champagne was served unchilled. The plates came out at different times. Table was not cleared between courses.

I love the decoration, coziness,view of the restaurant. The welcoming atmosphere created by the staff makes me feel happy and warm. The live music is soft, and very romantic. I'm glad to spend my Valentine's here. All the staff are professional. the food is VERY GOOD. I would recommend you to eat here and book their table for any events

I was my turn to Choose a place for lunch for me and my friends Toni and Terry after looking at the menu for months I chose this restaurant, located in Hotel Mac. What can I say!!! This is by far the best Italian Restaurant I have dined in since I moved to Ca. It is certainly On par with any Italian restaurant in NYC's little Italy! The menu is so diverse and filled with many custom choices for pasta and sauces. There were so many dishes besides those i chose that I wanted to try , that i was planning my return trip before eating. We ended up ordering Frito Misto for the table for starters... we were served delicious tender calamari, large shrimp , green beans and zucchini! Aioli and marinara. We cleaned the plate! For lunch i decided on Shrimp Scampi with linguini , perfectly al dente ! And 5 large Shrimp! Lots of garlic and a grilled Meyer lemon to squeeze on myself!!! Terry had spaghetti and meat sauce , i tasted the sauce it was savory and yummy, Toni ordered pasta with pesto sauce and i think shrimp , it was devoured ! Everyone left full and smiling! I will be bringing my friend and family here!!!

Very pleasantly surprised! Beautiful old building with a classic bar and multiple gathering areas throughout the space. Not a hotel lobby restaurant. Active craftspeople behind the bar creating unique flavors. Recommend trying the Clarified Pina Colada. A traditional milk punch process is used which dates back to 1763 by Benjamin Franklin.

We came early 11:30 am on a Friday. The place was empty and the staff was still setting up. The old hotel building was beautiful. We got sat upstairs. The menu for drinks and food both looked good. It was me my wife and my daughter. We ordered drinks and appetizers. The appetizers were bruschetta and beef carpaccio. The bruschetta could have used some balsamic and some salt also only three pieces it's only bread and tomato. The beef carpaccio was decent. For our entree's we had linguine and prawns, angel hair and meatballs, and salmon panini. I think the angel hair and meatball was the best. Although everything was tasty I feel like I was expecting more. I might come back because I feel like there were other things I would like to try.

The Food was very good, the service excellent. it was a great night out. I recommend the eggplant parmigiana

Service was fine, kinda slow with the drinks. Was not impressed with my meal but the people I was with seemed to enjoy their food. Would return to try something else.

My husband volunteers at the nearby Railroad Museum so we were looking for a nice place to dine once he wrapped up for the day. I wanted something healthy and this fit the bill! I recall coming here once a very long time ago, and apparently the place has been updated. It has a clean classic feel, nothing over the top. They could use a more polished hostess ( we walked in @ 5pm on Sunday with no reservation to a sparsely occupied restaurant and she made it seem like she was doing us a favor by seating us, and then did not provide us with the specials menus) but the table service was very good and our server was cordial, attentive to our needs and communicated a brief delay from the bar when it arose. Now the food, I only got to take a picture of the first item served as we were busy enjoying our meal the rest of the evening! We ordered the manzo (beef) carpaccio, the soup of the day -asparagus, I had the chicken piccata for my entree and my husband the linguine with clams. Additionally, they brought a sundried tomato & herb focaccia to the table which my babe fell in love with. All the food was excellent and perfectly prepared. My husband also had a lemon drop from the bar which was impeccably prepared! After dinner we decided to finish with a cappuccino ( for him) and an affogato. The coffees were excellent also. All around a solid 5 stars with just a quarter star off for our hostess interaction. The kitchen and bar are solid, the food was fantastic, the service could go up a notch to make this a stellar tablecloth restaurant but a very nice night out all around.
