   Pizza is especially excellent but everything we had was delicious. We ate at the bar, where the bartenders are talented and very attentive. Thank you, Igor! Pasta was a little too al dente but they replaced it quickly with a properly cooked serving that was on the house. A wonderful overall experience. Beautiful space…a much-needed addition to the neighborhood. We appreciated the service orientation of everyone and will be back soon. Grazie!

   This was our second time dining here. The service was attentive both times. Like last time, there was a timing problem with delivery of cocktails and first courses. We are people that like to enjoy our cocktail for awhile before food arrives, and that was not the case either time. I ordered the lemon pasta dish again and found it to be just okay. My husband and son both enjoyed their chicken entrees. With the exception of the burrata appetizer, all the starters were good. We found the burrata itself to lack flavor, though the beet and citrus in the salad were good. The desserts were very good.

   It’s been three days since our visit, and we can’t stop talking about our experience! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the beauty of the restaurant and the stunning bar. We were warmly greeted by the friendly staff, who offered excellent recommendations. We were a party of five and wanted to sample a variety of dishes to share. We ordered the delicata squash, which was absolutely delicious, and the sticky bun, which struck the perfect balance without being overly sweet—loved the pistachio touch! We also tried the frittata and the bolognese margherita pizza, and I must say, the dough was fantastic. Alongside some refreshing non-alcoholic cocktails, a mimosa, and a Blanton’s old fashioned, the portions were generous, and we savored every single bite. Throughout our dining experience, the staff made us feel right at home. Esther truly went above and beyond to ensure we had an exceptional time, and that made all the difference. It felt like the entire team was there just for us. My sister wanted to surprise us with the gender reveal of her baby, and they graciously offered us a private room for this special moment. It was so intimate and turned out even better than we could have planned. The whole restaurant cheered for us, sending good vibes and warm wishes. We didn’t want to leave! We even ordered cappuccinos afterwards, which were delicious as well. I want to highlight the outstanding service, the quality of the food, and the warmth of the people. Thank you! You all created a core memory filled with amazing food and love.

   Dishes were not tasty. Many dishes were underseasoned. Pasta overcooked, which feels like one of the most basic things an Italian restaurant should nail. It was also really expensive for mediocre food. Won’t be returning as there are so many great Italian places in SF.

   Very good service in a welcoming space. Food is good especially the pastas. Bar is a little slow but good selection of wines and cocktails. Will be back.

   I love this place. It was excellent the food that ambience everything about it and it was very convenient to the Chase center. I was able to catch dinner here right before the Warriors game.  highly recommend this spot!

    We had heard such great things about this place, but I have to say it was a huge disappointment. The chicory salad was overdressed, the pizza came out and it really tasted like pita bread, not pizza. The crust was under done and was flat not puffy. We were wondering if maybe the oven wasn't hot enough. It was really underwhelming. The bolognese pasta was good, but had very little sauce on it. The dessert, a chocolate budino, came out hard more like fudge. The waitress said that's their take on budino, but it tasted like they had made it earlier in the day, put it in the refrigerator at too cold to temperature, took it out when we ordered it, and didn't let it come to the right consistency. Maybe we hit it in on bad night, but we won't be back. Our neighboring table said their chicken was delicious. Maybe we should have ordered that.
