Reviews for Massimo's in Fremont, CA
First off let me say that the appetizer set a good note for the meal we had the crab and artichoke fondue that was delicious.... Everything after that was unremarkable, the pork chop which came really highly recommended was slightly undercooked and justseemed like a generic ham not very well prepared, the mashed potatoes could have come out of a box. Then the braised short ribwith pasta, that's just pot roast with noodles pretty sure you could get the same thing at any diner. There was a couple thatwas professional diners at this place, they ordered their food as they walked in before they even got their seats, they bothordered the filet, they told us that's the only way to go... On on the upside the service was good and the drinks werereasonably priced with a good wine list. I would say go here and just get that crab and artichoke fondue with a glass of winebut I don't recommend it for dinner. Also I would like to add that we came here for a celebration of a promotion, we made areservation in advance and we did not get seated in anything that looks like these pictures in their website where there's likea dining room with tablecloths, linen and good quality furniture, we were seated in a room that basically had linoleum tablesthe kind you see at Denny's, very basic.

Good Italian restaurant in Central Fremont area. Their quantity and quality of food is decent. Ambiance is also nice.
Food and service were both good. And dessert was very yummy. Mango Souffle cake - see picture
Haven’t been back to dine in since the pandemic started - they’ve made changes to the decor, there’s now open spaces... between the bar and dining room which brings a nice lively environment to the dining room. Ordered table side Caesar salad ????,I’m a huge fan of dinner and a show items like this, this style of showmanship has been going away over the years in manyrestaurants and I was glad to see that they were still performing it!! Bananas foster isn’t being offered any longer :( butwouldn’t take away any points on the rating due to this. Had calamari steaks (reminded me of a all time favorite dish of minescalone steaks (scallops & abalone) with delicious mash potatoes and fresh green beans with carrots & clams and pasta (theirwere a ton of clams on this dish it was delicious!!) When we were done and got the check, we scanned the QR code on the checkand we were able to pay via Apple Pay!! Service was fantastic, Food was delicious, Company amazing!! Stay Safe out there andGod Bless Read more
Good food if you crave for an Italian cuisine. Very nice cocktail menu and food spread. Cozy place. Was busy on Saturday... evening. Fresh and crusty house bread. Food was delicious and service for A+ Read more
One of the perks of traveling all of the time is getting to try some amazing restaurants - and this one did not disappoint! Nice... ambiance, excellent service, of and the food was pretty amazing too. We started with the Seafood Louis Salad. My host had theChicken Marsala and I stole more than one taste. But Scallop Risotto is one of my favorite dishes and this one may be one of thebest I have tried. Read more
My first time here despite having been in Fremont for quite sometime. So the experience here starts right at the door with the... nice ambiance and interior. Next up was the host and she was super nice. She got us the table and checked in on my kid brother.She asked how his school went and what he learned. That was an excellent touch and probably the best part of the entirevisit. Next up was the service and the food. Now the food was good. I can’t say it was great but it was pretty good. And forthe price they are charging the portion size was pretty decent as well. Now moving on to the negatives. First of all we got thebread and butter after getting our appetizer. The second issue was the slow service. At one point we were ready to pack our foodand order some dessert and the server just didn’t show up for around 15 mins. The entire dinner from getting table to payingthe bill took around 1 and half hour, maybe a bit longer. This was a problem as my kid brother had to get back and finish hishomework and get to bed since it was a school night. Overall I feel it’s a decent place with some room for improvement. Idefinitely plan on coming back after sometime to possibly try a few different items on the menu. Read more
The food was good, we ordered risotto and liked it a lot. Service...have a mix feeling. The reception was excellent and... friendly. Waiter was friendly but a bit pushy on ordering drinks. He also gave me second drinks even though I didn't ask for itand charged me for that drink, which doesn't feel very good Read more
