Café Arrivederci - San Rafael

Went with family for dinner. Ordered drinks and appetizers. They were served in a timely manner. Calamari was ok. Under seasoned. Ordered dinner and it took a very long time to be served. Pork chop special arrived and food was cold. Finally got servers attention to rerun. When food was returned it was still not hot, potatoes were missing. Halibut special was bland. Added salt but did not help. Two ordered lamb. It was suppose to come with roasted potatoes. One was served with mashed. Everything needed salt. We will not be returning. I advise you skip this place. Also our server never came by to ask if we wanted more drinks or offered a refill on coffee. Under new management? Really.

Food was bland. The ministrone soup was watery and wimpy. The zucchini Parm was all cheese no zucchini that we could find. The Brushetta was bland, fresh toms but no flavor we wereooming for salt and pepper which were unavailable on tables. The bread pedish was dry. And came with a flavorless oil olive dip. Service was subpar. Language barrier big issue.

We ordered scallops and shrimp pasta. The scallops were undercooked which made the pasta taste like seawater.

Place reeks of rug cleaner. Waiters wear cologne. Paninni were not thin and pressed down with a press, but way too thick with bread. We will never go back.

Very good food. Very good service. Great atmosphere. Worth going..
