Reviews
Dinner was SOOOO good and service was awesome. Thank you, Kelsey, for being so attentive to our group, and thank you for being very knowledgeable; we asked so many questions and she had all the answers. At one point, my group was talking about how great it would be to have another order of bread so we can use it as a vehicle to soak up all the pasta sauces; Kelsey kindly brought us another batch on the house. I will have to say, the portions are not huge, but they are not small either. I could've used one more item but it's all good. Didn't leave feeling so full I could not walk and got to taste a few different things so I am happy. Food was really really good and you can tell the ingredients are of high quality and fresh. We did not have cocktails so I can't comment on that, but we did bring our own bottle of champagne. When I called prior to our visit, I was told the corkage was $30, however we were charged a whopping $45; that is the most I have ever paid. Didn't want to make a stink about it bc dinner was just so good, it superseded the extra we paid for our champs. Would definitely go back. Great for family, girls night and date night.
We had a great experience on New Year's! It was a five-course dinner (I think), and the lobster lasagna was hands-down everyone's favorite. The cheesecake with bourbon caramel sauce was the perfect way to wrap up the night. That said, there were a couple of quirks. The servers brought out each course but didn't tell us what we were eating, and since none of us read the fixed menu ahead of time, we were just along for the ride! Also, our waters were almost always empty, which was a bit frustrating. When we were leaving all of our waters were empty, and they probably were for the past 30 minutes. The 20% auto tip and 6% SF health living wage charge felt pretty steep, but putting that aside, the food was fantastic, and it made for a really fun New Year's.
Pricier than other similar Italian restaurants in SF but certainly the best pasta for when you're looking for something special and a little nicer. All of the pastas are excellent, the portion sizes are reasonable, and splitting an app, two pastas, and a dessert along with some bread between two people is plenty filling. I really enjoyed the focaccia and the carne cruda, the pasta menu changes seasonally but always features local, seasonal ingredients. The interior is nice, not too quiet but not loud enough that you have to yell.
Came here for their $1 oyster happy hour! It's 5-7pm Tuesday through Thursday at the bar, limited to 6 per person. I really enjoyed the oysters, it's probably the best deal in the city. Also had a chance to try their pastas - while good, I wasn't blown away
Came here for a weekday dinner. Gabriel was incredibly patient and understanding. the vibe here is nice and clean. Tables are a little too close together -- so don't expect much intimacy unless you get a booth for 2 people or a trouble. Food was incredibly curated for flavor and texture. I loved every bites. gnocchi and seafood pasta were incredible. We will definitely be back. Then, the highlight; the stuffed calamari. WOW - to make stuffed calamari takes a lot of effort and skill. The filling was fantastic and they were cooked to perfection. Loved it all. Thank you Gabriel and team for a wonderful night.
