“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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.

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 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.“

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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
