"Oakland: City of Romance" Quoting Angelino… " we consider this a continuation of the friendship of the people who built our gondola and handed down the craft."
— San Francisco Examiner, May 20th, 1999

" Best Romantic trip to Venice in Oakland." There are lots of romantic things to do in Oakland but few as classically romantic as riding in a gondola complete with hunky boatman."

"The very picture of Romance"
— San Francisco Chronicle, Feb. 14 th, 2000

"Now that's Italian" quoting April… " you have a whole new feeling of culture, of romance. The necklace of lights is like a beautiful string of pearls. Once you are on the lake in a gondola you have a whole new view of the city."
