  • Working through flat-flavored but ample meaty dishes like thick slabs of Roman-style porchetta or wine-braised beef short ribs takes effort, and aquatic creatures are treated little more delicately: a Sicilian-style piece of tuna with vegetables, raisins, and almonds was dangerously overdone, as were the poor pieces of monkfish fish in a cioppino (aka "sapore di mare").
  • The cioppino tasted oddly familiar, since it contained the same scallops and shrimp I had stolen off my dining companion's plate, this time accompanied by mussels and angel hair pasta in a light seafood broth. —  Houston Press | Complete Issue
  • I learned to love cioppino at the Golden Spike in San Francisco, where the spicy tomato-based soup is brimming with Dungeness crabs. —  Houston Press | Complete Issue
  • The quality of the fresh seafood diverted my attention from the failings of the soup, though in truth, the timid seafood broth at Jonathan's is too boring to be called cioppino. —  Houston Press | Complete Issue
  • The cioppino dinner includes green salad, French bread, dessert and nonalcoholic beverages. —  The Record-Courier - Top Stories
