Awesome spot to spend a beautiful afternoon! Lots of outside seating, great food and drinks, very attentive service. Definitely a great spot for a leisurely brunch! The OMG sandwich was delicious - the bread was a bit on the dry side but a little dressing (I added) was all it needed. The flavors were incredible.

$20 is a bit pricey for me for a sandwich, but quality counts for a lot. This place makes some of the best sandwiches in the area. I've had the OMG (a decadent version of an Italian sandwich) and their meatball sandwich. Both were outstanding. The bread is always fresh and everything is perfectly seasoned. It's a splurge for me, but occasionally it's worth it. Friendly and efficient service. Nice outdoor seating area, good drinks selection.

Heroic Italian in Berkeley is a true find! The lasagna is absolutely delicious—rich, cheesy, and full of flavor. The outdoor seating is super charming, like a little European café tucked away in the city. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere make it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. Highly recommend!

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. If you love Italian food as much as I do, y'all need to check out Heroic Italian! Everything was so fresh and light. It's simply delicioso! OMG! OMG! The OMG sandwich was light, airy, crispy, and delicious; while the Chicken Tetrazzini Rotini pasta was light, creamy, and tasty, it was perfect with the glass of white wine. I love me a good salad, and the California Caprese salad did NOT disappoint. Not only was it beautiful, it was so refreshingly delicious! I want one now. Lastly, the Calabrian Shrimp Roman Pizza was delicious. It was my first time having a shrimp pizza- it had the perfect balance of savory and tartness. Ps. There’s a parking lot next door, and it cost the same as the street parking meter.

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. It is located on the bottom corner of a five story with lots of windows so the restaurant is filled with natural light. There is a large patio outside, so you have the choice of eating inside or out. David, the owner is friendly and loves to share about his business!!! I had an OMG sandwich to go with an Italian Bio drink. I see why it is called OMG--it was very tasty made with fresh bread, Italian meats, smoked Mozzarella, and Roasted Artichoke Spread. Yum, yum!!! They have a large variety of Italian wines to choose from to go along with sandwiches, salads, pizzas, and pastas. This is a great place to come for a taste of Italy.
