We decided to check out Heroic Italian in downtown Berkeley, next to the library! The outdoor patio was so relaxing on a hot summer day.

Heroic Italian is located next to the Downtown Berkeley Library on Kittredge Street not far from BART. There is free 2 hour parking on the street, and there is a parking garage close by.

Great Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Berkeley. I was there with a large party and everyone was impressed by the quality of the dishes. The OMG sandwich was so good that I wanted to get another one for to go. We did not all get our dishes at the same time, but that’s perhaps a consequence of the online-only menu. I would much prefer the old fashioned personal ordering.

Wow, I expected a monster sandwich, I make larger sandwiches for my 9 year old. 20 bucks for that…sad!!! Not sure how to respond to owners response but I’m from Philly and east coast. I know good meats and great bread. The taste was there, bread ok. But never in any world should a sandwich be 20 bucks. I make a killer hoagie, I’ll charge you 8 bucks

I got takeout spaghetti pomodoro and thought it was pretty average. Noodles were average and over cooked. Sauce was tasty but I would’ve enjoyed more of it. Meatballs were very good.

Delicious food and a spacious outdoor dining area. The portions are all very generous and shareable. During the summertime I bet this place will be very popular.

I came here and I love when I can order and dine on my own time. I think that’s a perk of post pandemic dining. I ordered the Osso Buco Ravioli and I really enjoyed it. The waiter was friendly and checked on me a few times while I was there and I was able to get my own water and napkins. I will be coming her again to try another dish and a different drink, although the Arnold Palmer was very good!

Fabulous! Little place serving up amazing pizzas, antipasti, salads coupled with a great wine list. Friendly staff and good service. We went for an early dinner before a concert at the Greek Theater.
