After reading the reviews here I expected something at the level of Bianco or Cibo. But my pie (called Forget About It) had the taste and texture just marginally better than Domino's pizza. Seriously.\nThis pizza had a bunch of stuff piled on and I think that's what might've killed it. It was just too much overcooked meat on top of overcooked cheese, on top of mediocre dough. \nThe tiramisu was amazing, however. Very large, not soggy at all, just the right texture. Not too heavy not too light. \nTheir house cocktails are good and strong. Try the Ciao Bella if you're in the mood for something sweet and citrus-y with a major kick. \n\nThe restaurant itself is nestled in the Esplanade complex. Since most of it is empty, you might think the whole place is abandoned. Not so. Find the AMC Theatres sign, and you're in the right area. \nDieci has mostly just tables and chairs, no booths. Everything feels pretty small and cramped compared to many similar restaurants in the Valley. \nOverall neither me nor my guest were impressed by Dieci."^^ .
