“You can't go wrong with Teanis! In my honest opinion these sandwiches are far much better than little Luca. The service is always quick but thoughtful. Although they are always busy I receive my food in a timely manner. I also enjoy that this is a small business & the home feeling the shop's decor brings. These sandwiches are ginormous and one sandwich can easily feed 2-3 people. I always have two meals out of one sandwich.“
“Fantastic experience at Andiamo In Banca! Best Italian cuisine with a nostalgic flair! I ordered the calamari Fritter deep fried calamari served with spicy tomato sauce, Linguine with clams linguine pasta with fresh manila clams in a light spicy garlic white wine sauce and House cured swordfish served with caper dressing and for the final cuisine grilled baby rack of lamb, topped with garlic rosemary and balsamic vinaigrette. Now that's Amore! Romantic atmosphere and good selection of wine and dessert. Highly recommend visiting! Buono appetit!????????????“
“The nachos with carne asada and a michelada! That is a perfect meal.Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian and seafood options.Kid-friendliness: We come with our grandkids and the staff is welcoming to us.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps and the restaurant is at ground level.“
“The chicken marsala was excellent, the tiramisu, however, was bland and tasted mostly like whipped cream, not worth the 12 USD. Even though the restaurant was busy, they managed to squeeze us in. Overall the food was delicious and there was a warm, cozy vibe. Definitely recommend!“
“This is the spot if you are craving munchies when your off the zaza or really hungry. After working a double shift today, I decided to give this place a shot. The lot was small but you were given the option to eat at their outdoor tables or wait in a parking space till your food is hand delivered to you. You drive up to the window and order from there after looking at the menu. I ordered a Philly cheese steak sandwich that came with bussin fries and I believe homemade avocado ranch sauce. Though the sandwich was messy but it was also filling for a meal. The fries were crispy and soft but not soggy or burnt unlike some places. The avocado ranch was great! Coming from a small spot in the area, I'd give them props for holding it the best in my books. I'd definitely come back and try other menu items. Thanks!“
“I love this place. It’s my first time and we will be back. It’s now my go to pizza in the Bay Area. Similar pricing to all the others but you get a much larger and much better pizza. The cheese is salty and I’ve never had anything like it and the crust is delicious. This from someone who usually doesn’t eat their crust. They have beer in bottles and on tap, wine as well. They have a small beer on tap for $7 or a $13 version that holds 3 beers at least. I usually will make my own pizza at home, but this place is a winner, just don’t tell anyone I don’t want it to get cramped in there.I love the quaint homey feel it provides when dining in. They have whatever major football game is on playing on the TV. The booths are kinda slim, that’s the only con. The girl that works there is super nice, she got us everything we needed and she had a nice vibe. Parked in the goodwill/smart and final lot and they caught our eye so we walked over.“
“Really great experience. The staff was fantastic and our waiter was super enthusiastic, which really made the evening even better. All of his suggestions were marvelous and the food was very nicely done. Great neighborhood location with fantastic food, and not crazy expensive. Certainly give it a try. “
“Cotogna was a superb experience from the minute we walked in. Service is warm and attentive, the food is spectacular. We loved everything we ate. The presentation was beautiful and the ambiance was cozy. We couldn’t ask for more. We were there to celebrate a birthday and it really made our night special to be at Cotogna. Thank you and keep it up!“
“We had the best time at Sorella! The food was amazing and we left feeling full. The cocktails were perfectly balanced and delicious and the wine recommendations we had paired with our meal so well. Our favorite part about the dinner though was the service! Our waiter was extremely attentive but not over bearing. He was also hilarious which added to the experience! Everyone was so respectful and happy. Truly a great experience- we will be back!“
“Stopped by Iteia for a nice dinner, the tuna tartar and the salad were lovely, both very fresh and light, and good portions (especially the salad). My husband had the sardines pasta, that's not very photogenic but was very good. I had the beef cheek pasta that was also great, but somewhat heavy. To finish the meal we got a boudino with salted whipped cream, that was great and could feed about 3 people. Delicious!“
“I’m up at 4 am, no clue why and I’m hungry. I scroll through photos of my recent trip to Italy and get hungrier. Then I randomly recall this amazing ragu I had at AltoVino. Such is the rabbit hole of my brain today.I first stumbled upon this place a few years back when my gf and I were randomly walking down this street after exploring Chinatown. Looked good, half empty, so we sat down outside for what was an amazing meal. I recall thinking “holy s***, what is this place and why is it here and why is it so good and why is it…. So good?” Since then we’ve been a few times more, and each time was equally amazing.For me what I find particularly fascinating about this place is its own unique balance across its often refreshed menu. It’s an intelligently restrained yet creative balance of tradition and new “California” flair. One dish may stick rather close to a traditional Amatriciana while another consists of an intriguing mixture of ingredients that just simply makes sense once tasted. There’s something for everyone and everything is excellent.It speaks to the experience and refined palate of the owners. All paired with a fantastic wine menu, your meals will be memorable here each time.I’ve recommended this place to anyone that has asked me, “what are some top places to eat in SF?” And I swear on baby Jesus that AltoVino has come out of my mouth within the first 3 places I mention, each time. And to this day, well I suppose to this late morning - I still don’t know why this place isn’t booked out every single evening. It’s bizarre.So ignore reviews that say “we weren’t satisfied because we were still hungry afterwards.” Which, is one of the dumbest reasons for mediocre reviews because, what, a restaurant is supposed to figure out or cater to your appetite? Ignore reviews that say “oh this place wasn’t authentic.” Hmm what sort of authentic were you looking for? What is authentic at the end of day?Because if authentic is a menu honoring its ingredients, staying true to the local spirit while paying generous and fantastic homage to the cuisine’s roots, then this is one such place.Ok back to sleep.“
“Loved the ambiance here! Would come here for an occasion. Saw people on dates and with their friends/family! Waitress was incredibly nice and lovely. Wasn’t as amazed by food as I thought I’d be but would certainly return.Note: Parking was tough.“
“We ordered what they are known for, the roast chicken, and it was very tasty. Probably one of the best roast chicken I’ve had. I think the thighs were the best part since the breast can be dry, so the bread that was filled in the chicken with balsamic meshed really well with.The chicken has tree nuts!We ordered Caesar salad, the cheese and crackers dessert, bread + butter, and eton mess.The salad was good since the dressing was much lighter and the croutons crispy but not hard.The cheese and cracker with apricot was heavy and strong on the cheese, the preserves balanced it out very well.The bread and butter was ok. Not warm, could have more butter.Eton mess was also decent, filled with cream, rhubarb.I thought it was interesting and probably part of their service that the wait staff remember all your orders without pen or paper. Service was friendly and we enjoyed our dinner here. We lucked out on parking, didnt see many spots.Parking: Depends on time of day. There are enforcement signs for M-F. Please read carefully before parking.“
“The food here was fantastic; everything was delicious. We also ordered the Pezza de Angioni a sa Saba (Seared Lamb Tenderloin Tagliata Sardinian Saba), and one of the specials for the day, which was a pasta with a tomato-based beef and mushroom sauce. Our plates were clean. The bread for the table was perfect for picking up any leftover sauce. We got there right as it opened, and the restaurant filled up as the time went by; the volume in the place slowly increased as we dined there. The service was decent, and our water glasses were filled on a consistent basis. I'm not sure if they added specials for the day as the night went on, but other tables seemed to be told about more than the two specials that we heard when we arrived. I would definitely return at least once more if I am back in the city, as I would like to try the Pasta Cruzza cun Arrizonis (Artisanal Fusilli Sea Urchin Tomato Cured Tuna).“
“This was a great place for a date night. The portions were smaller than we expected but everything was delicious. The papardelle was tasty but we felt like they could have been more generous with the mushrooms or “Funghi.” Even the broccolini portions felt scant. The citrus avocado salad was bright and tasty and the cacio e Pepe was cheesy in the most perfect way. Overall everything was tasty but we wished there was slightly more of everything that were highlights of the dish.Vegetarian options: Cacio e Pepe, pappardelle with funghi, all the salads“
“The owners treated us like we were family! Service was impeccable! Food was cooked to perfection. Big portions, we both had left overs for another meal! Prices are more than reasonable!Dietary restrictions: They were wonderful accommodating my Celiac!“
“Pinsa Rossa is absolutely amazing! Their appetizers, salads, and, of course, the pinsas with their crunchy, flavorful crusts are all top-notch. Ken and his team have done an incredible job creating a dining experience that’s simply outstanding!Dietary restrictions: My daughter, a brand new lactating mom who can’t consume lactose products, asked for a pinsa with vegan cheese, and we couldn’t tell the difference, it was great!Parking: There’s parking available half a block away from the place.“
“Among many excellent Italian spots in the city, this stood out. The homemade pasta has the perfect texture, and the fillings and sauces are delicate and wonderful. Service was kind and attentive, and the space - a favorite when it was Locanda and Ancora - remains intimate and elegant. Looking forward to another opportunity to dine.“
“This place is an absolute neighborhood gem!The only reason I am giving it a 4 instead of a 5 is because it is inconsistent during Happy Hour.In late July, I went with two friends and had the best dry sparkling rose and spritz - appetizers were all wonderful.Today, the sparkling rose on the happy hour menu was $12. I really don't mind paying more because "it's organic and bio-dynamic", but I felt I was drinking a grapefuit juice. The crostini with burrata were not good because the burrata was cold and not at ambiant temperature. I think the staff was not the same as usual and the overall menu was completely off.It's such a great place... I hope it comes back to where it was back during the Summer.“
“I visited last week for dinner with my family. We didn't make a reservation and arrived around 6pm. We got seating in the back, which was an outdoor area. Right away they told us there were reservations so we would only be able to eat till around 7:15ish, which was totally okay. The back area was very cute, and extremely warm with the heater.For the food, we got 2 pizzas - honey pepperoni and the one with mushrooms. They were both good, but the crust was the best part. And the honey pepperoni said spicy on the menu but wasn't spicy at all.For appetizers, we got garlic bread and burrata cheese salad. The bread was on the drier side, couldn't taste much garlic. But the salad was very good.Overall, nice experience!“
“Flour+Water was an insanely great experience. every dish i tried was in the top tier of things i have ever tried. The amberjack in citrus sauce i almost considered just ordered a couple more and eating JUST THAT... but i had already ordered a couple other things. at some point i asked the waitstaff her preference across a couple pasts dishes i was considering, and i think she and i both heard different things - so the happy accident was that she brought all of them... and i ate them all anyway, all crazy good. the caramelle with squash stuffing was divine. Anyway, trying to figure out when i can make it back with more friends and family to be sure they try it too.“
“This is my favorite place for a nice dinner in the Castro. The cozy upstairs location feels miles away from the craziness down on 18th Street. I love the interesting cocktail specials, the pasta dishes, and the tiramisu for dessert. We had an especially nice meal there for Thanksgiving.“
“The lasagna here is indeed special. It might be a bit pricey to my standard but you got a solid, in fact, special lasagna. It is definitely bold yet have the light feeling that you can enjoy the whole way through. The most unique feature of the lasagna here is that it is crispy at the bottom. I asked the shop owner and he did not reveal the secret. I tried tiramisu and it is good as well. When I looked at it, it though it was dry. However, when I tasted it, it was moist enough for you to enjoy, but the fullness of cheese filled your mouth. It is a small cup of tiramisu but it is rich enough that you should share with someone else. In any event, this place is great and the shop owner is very friendly. If you are craving for lasagna, you can come here. Oh the pasta looks amazing too. I should try it next time.“
“Caffè Macaroni continues to be one of San Francisco's very best & most authentic Italian restaurants. Extensive menu, great food, very friendly staff, and a classic North Beach setting. You can spend a lot more to eat “upscale” pseudo-Italian food at places like Aquerello or Sorella. At the latter, the manager will tell you that you need to leave after an hour or so to make way for the next round of guests. Never mind that you're being charged a small fortune for the brief time you're there. Head to Caffe Macaroni!“
“Authentic Italian dining experience. The tonnarelli pasta was incredibly unctuous and savory with the perfect balance of mushrooms, cream and ground Italian sausage. I would absolutely order it again. The rigatoni all'Amatriciana was bright, tart, from the tomato sauce, and offset by the slight salty, savory quality of the pork cheek. Service was just right. The accents of the wait staff charmed. The location is small, a plus, spare, and a bit cool. Otherwise, a nice neighborhood spot, though worth the drive from outside the city too.“
“I'm sad to hear this place has closed. I've gone to this place a good handful of times. The food was out of this world. The waitstaff was amazing. So much energy, genuinely wanted their patrons to enjoy their meal, and experience. I hope you pass your recipes onto someone else. People should experience what I have.“
“Food was amazing also the vibes in this restaurant are spectacular it's very lively. I had ended up having a cocktail over wine of course the gimlet there was bomb I ended up having two. Service was overly great I must say like a little too great not saying that I don't like to be checked up on but any given moment things were cleared and we were asked how is everything ...glasses were always full. The potatoes were alright and the brussel sprouts the same. I wasn't really digging the beef short rib but the agnolotti dal plin ugh was so good I will come back just for this.“
“This was our first visit to Che Fico and we had heard the food was very good. I'd say that was an understatement- the food was amazing! They had a little different twist on the traditional Caesar salad with a delicious crumbly topping. The tagliatelle with ragu was hands down the best I've ever had! The pizza was also something you won't soon forget. The fresh tomato sauce is so delicious I still think about how it tastes and the quality of the Parmesan cheese used is the best. Our waitress really nice and was very helpful with suggestions. The pacing of the meal was very well timed, not rushed but we were not left sitting for a long period of time. All in all a great evening with the food definitely being the star!“
“We had the pan-seared scallops and the Tagletelle special dish: tagletelle, snap pea segments, mushrooms, smoked prosciutto and a light cream sauce. And the Tiramisu for dessert. All were superb! And the service was impeccable. Highly recommend.“
“This was our first visit. Dinner was delicious and service awesome. Top quality! I don't think there is anything on the menu that's not going to be yummy. We can't wait to go back and try more on the menu. The Panacotta was the best we've ever had and we've had a lot . Cheers“
“I had one of the best restaurant meals ever in San Francisco last night at Sorrel. The pictured dish is described as maitake / potato / dashi, the first course of seven and my favourite. The wine pairing was very good, and the service outstanding. Great celiac accommodation for me. Instead of the pasta based crab dish I got a stunningly excellent sun-choke risotto. Highly recommended for a special occasion.Dietary restrictions: I had excellent accommodation for my celiac affliction. Instead of the pasta based crab dish I got a stunningly excellent sun-choke risotto.“
“Delicious warm bread to start the meal. Two of us had the lamb chops with a chimichurri sauce they were tender, delicious, and perfectly cooked, one medium and the other medium rare. They were also kind enough to split a Caesar salad for us. My husband had the homemade tagliatelle (recommended by our server), perfectly al dente. We ended our meal with a lava cake, oozing with melted chocolate, my new favorite dessert.“
“1st time I went, I had seen the price on their online menu. When they rang it up, they upped the price. OK, I told em and accepted they did not set up their website and I learned not to use that pricing.Their Linguine with Clams and pear salad have brought me back a few time. The best Linguine and Clams anywhere.Pacifica is not loaded with good restaurants. Staff is nice, food comes quick and is great for either dine in, or take out.“
“Even as someone who doesn't usually go for pasta, I want to come back here. Really great food that feels like it should cost more, and once you're impressed with a dish, you can then check their counter and take supplies home to have more. I love the energetic vibe, and how they've made use of the space. It's charming to be in a busy, active restaurant, where the staff still presents you your dishes with an explanation and answers your questions.“
“A friend recommended Ciccino and the experience was wonderful. Small, not too noisy, great staff and excellent food. There were four of us, so we did a shared plate meal with wine. Focaccia, scallop skewer, romaine fennel salad, tartare, ravioli carbonara, rib eye, and dessert. The two specials were also exceptional. The oyster ravioli was my favorite. The owner and chef also made it a point to visit each table giving an extra special touch to the service level. Call in advance for reservations as seating is limited. Excellent experience.“
“Loved our experience at a Mano! Our server was incredibly sweet! She gave the best recommendations and really made our experience incredible. We had the steak, cauliflower, burrata, foccacia, lamb ravioli, several cocktails, and a carafe of one of the reds (all excellent recommendations by our server). The restaurant was very cute, clean, and busy, although we were able to get seated right away. Definitely recommend a Mano for a fun evening out. It's a great place to take parents, out of town guests, friends, and oneself.“
“It was a delight to be invited here for dinner. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the service was fantastic and food was unique and high quality.I was thrilled to learn that the flour comes from Italy so my gluten intolerances can be managed with imported flour - what a treat!The liver mousse was an interesting and unique starter and the linguine limone with crab was a solid dish.“
“First time eating a deep dish chicago-style pizza as it's my first time in the US, and this was something else. Very nice, definitely different than a good old Napoletana I am used to :) the thin crust pizza was also very nice! For the two of us (one adult man and one woman), we've ordered a 10" thin crust pizza and an 8" deep dish pie (old Chicago style), and it was more than enough for us. The full-sized deep dish pie looked huge so I'm glad we didn't order it! It seemed like it would fill 4 adult men.“
“We had a wonderful birthday dinner eating at one of the quieter tables and spacious booths. The pizza was delicious. Because the kitchen was slower than usual, they brought us complimentary olives and a dessert. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. A nice evening for special occasion.“
“WOW!!!! One of the best dining experiences of my life hands down! Start to finish this was incredible. Our Server has been there for decades and they are lucky to have him. His friendliness and attentiveness were unmatched, his recommendations and attention to detail were exceptional. We will be talking about and recommending this restaurant to anyone and everyone! Ps- try the gnocchi!“
“This was a fabulous Italian restaurant in the marina! Unfortunately, you can't make a reservation before hand so you need to queue on the yelp waitlist. However, if you're flexible the wait time is not too bad. We were a party of 3 looking for seating on a Saturday around 8 and waited about 30 mins. Besides this, the restaurant is adorable with beautiful dish wear and cute decor. We got some white wine for the table which was delicious and the waiter was great with recommendations. I ordered the bolognese which was so flavorful and the pasta was perfectly cooked. However, I do wish there was an option for more cheese on the pasta. We finished our meal with complimentary lemon gelatos which were very refreshing. Highly recommend Casado Osteria for your next date night or dinner with friends!“
“A sassy classy breakfast! The coffee is straight-up tasty and the butter croissants are so fluffy to the touch. My wife had a polenta breakfast with a large chicken sausage ensconced within and I had a thin flat hot pizza with prosciutto and cheese and two sunny-side-up huevos in the center. Yumm! Service was prompt and courteous (almost courtly, she was so nice). And the atmosphere was firmly on the genteel side. But we needed that that morning. We left the cafe like we'd been to a day spa, ready to face the world!“
“Angie’s is amazing — probably the best thin crust pizza in the city! Wood fired with organic dough is the way. My girlfriend and I have tried almost all the pies on the menu and every one is great. The date + margarita with pesto drizzle are so good. Simple yet delicious apps including mixed greens salad and meatballs are also delicious.“
“The sausage factory in Castro is a top notch restaurant! The food was great and the service was excellent. The atmosphere of this small restaurant is one of the very best.Booth by the window so you can watch the people move around on Castro street!It’s a must visit and dine , prices a very good considering you are in San Francisco.“
“It's always a pleasure dining at Vespucci! Not only is the food amazing and delicious, Francesco and Manuela are just as wonderful! We do not get to dine there as often since we live in the East Bay, but anytime we have, they are always so warm and welcoming and very invested in building an amazing relationship with us and getting to know us.“
“I love Joe's, been going here since I was a kid. It's not the same though, food was alot better before the new ownership, however the food is still good but not great like it used to be.Parking: It's just a busy restaurant, hard to find parking when it busy and that's almost all the time.“
“Honestly the best Italian place we’ve been in SF. We were looking for somewhere close so we decided to give it a shot and the service was amazing. I’ve never had such kind welcoming people at a restaurant. The food was also amazing and so quick. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an Italian place.“
“Value in their serving. Meatball Spaghetti Sauce was balanced and not tangy. The meatballs filling. Dining partner enjoyed his Alfredo. The garlic bread is yummy but best eaten as it comes to the table for peak flavors of so simple an offering. It wasn't super busy when we dined and attention to us was perfect. I had no room left for dessert, tho a latte would have been perfect. Next visit required to try more.“
“After 20 years later my husband and I back to enjoy the pizza, a bottle of wine , espresso coffee and they delicious Tiramisu OMG this restaurant sill with the best food and the best service, a Italian gentleman and a Yucatán gentleman make us totally happy with our meal.????“
“We hosted a holiday party for 325 people and hired Esposto's to cater the buffet dinner as well as provide tables and linens. They absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the beginning communications to the culmination of a spectacular event, the entire team was amazing to work with. The Esposto's team was wonderful to work with, so responsive and so organized. I am so grateful!The catering team who came to support our event the night of was nothing short of amazing. They were on top of everything working like a well oiled machine. The food was absolutely spectacular and plentiful! I would highly recommend them for your catering needs. We will definitely be using them again!“
