Wow what delicious authentic Italian food. It’s a bummer because the area it’s in is a bit sketchy but beyond that I’d highly recommend this restaurant! Great for lunch too.

Excellent food, staff and service. They have a strong wine list, very interesting salads and pizza options.The decor is interesting and old school like from a 60s or 70s movie. The pizzas are named after neighborhoods in Rome.The street it is on is a bit sketchy but once inside it is really cool.Vegetarian options: Salads and many pizzas

Busy little place on a Friday night. But they were able to give us quick enough service so we could be on time for our show at the Warfield. Their pizzas are big enough for two to share. We had the pork belly one. A bit salty but great taste. I love the crust.

We always have a good experience at Montesacro. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, the food is superb and great value. My favorite pinsa remains the one w tuna (seriously it's an edible work of art!) and the pietralata is always a comforting pinsa- it's like carbonara on a pizza (w out the pasta!) stunning food- warm and cozy staff and restaurant!

This is our go to for a pre-theater bite. It's always a lovely experience. The Pinsas are outstanding and we always seem to have lovely service. It's not in the greatest spot (the Stevenson location) so hopefully that doesn't impact business. Love this place!

As a tourist from Europe I wouldn't recommend anyone to go there. I know that I'm supposed to avoid Tinderloin (I found it okish so far) but I didn't know that you are also supposed to skip this area. It felt super uncomfortable. Pinsa was really nice but the place was overcrowded and very noisy (as it is small and obviously favorite place for families with children). Happy to be safely away, good luck for owner.

All around delicious pizza in a sketchy area. The waiter was French and hilarious, very attentive and knew his stuff. I wish he was my friend. Minus one star for the dusty but endearing knickknacks. See you again!
The kitchen closes at 930. They should not accept reservations at 9:15. The experience felt rushed and the staff was ready to go home. I understand the desire to be done for the day, but at this price point I expect a better experience.
We went to Montesacro for a bon voyage dinner. Everything was delicious. The burrata with pesto and anchovies was excellent, as was the kale salad and especially the octopus. Everyone's pizzas were crunchy and delicious. The pannacotta was awesome. I could have eaten two! The service was excellent, considering how crowded and busy it was. We will return again and again.

A favorite spot of mine for pre show days in SF. Tonight was my husband's first visit and he loved it! Service was great as always and the mortadella appetizer was so good we ordered another plate instead of a main course.

The food was excellent overall, great flavors and interesting menu items. The pinsa wasn't as crisp as usual but still very good. I haven't been to Montesacro since before the pandemic and I'm so glad I came back. An absolute gem in a dubious neighborhood. They had live music, a jazz singer with a band (special for Valentine's day). She was delightful, with a NYC East Village vibe. I heartily recommend this place!!

Our Valentine's Dinner was prix fixe with 4 imaginative, delicious courses. The ambience is cozy and friendly. Our waiter, Selby, was attentive and helpful with meal choices and wine pairings. This Italian Roman restaurant, our sixth time here over many years, never disappoints!
Great experience for our first time. Servers were super helpful and friendly. All of our food came out quickly - which was nice because we were on a schedule before the theatre. We learned what we liked about the menu and will be back. Thanks!
