Tomatina

Waiter Tristan could not remember our order. Did not look happy to be at work and it showed. Food was cold when it got to the table. Garlic bread was stiff like it had been sitting out and was not fresh. The hard tea tasted like a peach iced tea from jack in the box. Pesto sauce was really good I can say that and Alex was very friendly when we came in the restaurant. Honestly I would not recommend coming here, you'd do a lot better at the olive garden.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful dining experience, thanks in large part to our incredible server, Tristan L. From the moment we sat down, Tristan was friendly, polite, and attentive—never letting our drinks go empty and making us feel genuinely welcome. The food was a mix of hits and misses: the pesto penne was absolutely delicious, and the lasagna was rich and flavorful—definitely a standout! The fettuccine Alfredo wasn’t quite to my taste, but everything else more than made up for it. The true highlight of the evening was Tristan’s exceptional service. He elevated the entire experience with his warmth and professionalism. We’ll definitely be back when back in town (from Seattle) - and hoping Tristan’s our server again!

My daughter and I came here to enjoy some pasta at a restaurant we had never been to before. It's located in downtown Alameda on park. We did not have to wait for seating at lunch time. They have the QR code and paper menus available. We were able to place our orders and receive our food quickly. The menu options were good and the food was delicious. Our server was basically the only one working at the time and she did a great job with drinks and bringing the food while also taking orders.

Thursdays is when we usually frequent Tomatina as they have the children eat free night. As long as you pay for an entree, you can a free child’s meal. So if you pay for two entree, you can get two free children meals. Calzone, pretty much a folded in pizza was delicious. You can select your toppings so whatever you fancy for that day, you can have it. The January special is underwhelming. Seems to be the worst entree I have had from Tomatina. It was bland! So bland that even the Manila clams were not salty when it should have some salty taste to it naturally. Not sure what they did but yuck! Glad January ends tomorrow so they’ll have another special planned.

We ate half between two people so it must be good but $40 for my jaws to hurt, I want to eat more but got tired eating my mouth hurts!! Dates are creative .... Hard pizza 😭

Tomatina is a restaurant that is in the city where I live, I confess that I had never been there one day I said...it's today!! Since my favorite Italian restaurant had closed in the Oakland area. I go to restaurants in almost the entire Bay area, but this one was a pleasant surprise for me and I have been repeating it religiously every Thursday and every day is a surprise in addition to the excellent service I always get from the waitress Cris. It will be easy for you to find out who Cris is, she has a streak of green hair and a kind of Irish and alternative way. But she is an incredibly friendly person, I can say that she is, if not better, one of the best waitresses I have ever seen in my life, simply unforgettable... someone who makes you want to be served all the time by her, because she is wonderful. Not only in efficiency in service but also in immense friendliness. Don't miss out. This is an experience worth differentiating between before and after she met you. The food is wonderful and comes quickly, the attentive Cris always remembers my name and remembers my characteristics from previous orders, like asking for a spoon to eat my spaghetti, something I've done since I was a child when my mother and father learned at school. Italy this. Furthermore, the care with the food, care and attention to customers is something fantastic. Cris has a memory that always remembers her name and her characteristics, food, as well as moving quickly, with a diplomatic education. Everything comes quickly, it's a clean and pleasant place. The staff is polite, the food is to die for and I always pray that I have found a new, better Italian restaurant for you to eat at, finally. I'm a fan of the place, I can't have better reviews than that.

I went to Tomatina’s after a very very long time, and I was pleasantly surprised that the quality of the food and great service hasn’t changed. My absolute favorite thing to order off the menu here is their calzone! It’s a friggin’ amazing calzone! Probably my favorite from anywhere. The dough is chef’s kiss, they give you the option to stuff it with up to 3 toppings and they really load it up to! Also I was ecstatic to find out that they do happy hour here till 7pm!! The drinks are so fun here, I love a fruity drink. We also had the meatballs off the happy hour menu and they were pretty good. Additionally I want to give a shout out to the hispanic lady with the pretty glittery pink nails - sadly I didn’t catch her name but she was soo sweet checking in on us and asking how everything was, really great customer service on her end!

I liked my good, great pasta dishes but customer service here has been horrible every single time I be gone, inattentive, disorganized and rude staff plus long waits (50 mins+). So I decided no more eating there and ordered takeout instead. I encountered different issues, items left out of orders. Orders not ready - had to wait 40 minutes, no apologetic for the mistakes and that itself made me stop going. The right back having to come and get the missing items by the time you go back to your home your food is cold stop here don't realize all the trouble we go through specially when all you're trying to do is feed your kids. I did send feedback to the corporate they don't acknowledge anything not even the 10% coupon or a we're sorry for the experience you had. Won't be going back to this location.
