Banchero's has been in Hayward since 1948. It's a family run, family friendly Italian style restaurant. The wait on the weekends can be over 1 hour but during the week there might not be any wait at all. The dinners include soup, salad, bread, pasta, antipasta plate and then the main course. Food is mediocre but very inexpensive. The service can be slow as it was when we were there recently. We were with a family with young kids and any noise they made didn't matter since there was so much noise around at the other tables. It's an OK restaurant but certainly not one that I'd consider as fine dining.
