Ole ZoegerApril 29, 2023Food is amazing. We sat on the “bar” right in front of the kitchen. How it is supposed to be ;)
Matthew ChoyJanuary 25, 2013Sit at the bar to see the action. Plus if you're waiting for a table they offer you free wine. Great place.
ChrisOctober 23, 2014Very enjoyable dinner! Friendly staff and a great show sitting at the bar watching the chefs.
T ZFebruary 7, 2016Linguine w clams and Fettucine w scallops were super good though quite creamy and fills you really quickly.- Travis GossenMay 5, 2015Best Italian seafood I've ever had. The half carafe of white wine is an awesome deal.
Katsu GotoAugust 4, 2015A nice seafood restaurant in a nice neighborhood. Risotto or pasta, that is the question.- Lena YeNovember 6, 2014You can't go wrong with the seafood pasta or the seafood risotto. Warning - huge portions!
Eric AndersenJanuary 10, 2013The pasta with seafood is excellent…as is pretty much everything here. Wow!
Natalie KAugust 1, 2018Crab diavolo linguine was awesome. Be prepared to wait “30 mins” (aka 1 hour).
Kathleen ClarkMarch 31, 2010It's all seafood and so fresh. Our server was very knowledgeable about the diff. types of seafood. The place is small, so expect to get seated at the bar. Great place for oysters!
Byron KJune 20, 2015They were not kidding when they claimed that this is the best damn crab cioppino.
MNovember 29, 2011From wine while you wait to a veritable vat of delicious cioppino... Definitely an experience worth having. Staff are a hoot.
Amy ValentOctober 16, 2013Tried sand dab for the first time and very well done. Fresh generous blue cheese with wedge.
schneidermike schneidermikeNovember 19, 2012The cioppino broth is elite if you like it a tad sweet. It doesn't get better.
Shannon MadisonMay 23, 2012Cioppino h8rs shd die. Best SF cioppino hands down, NO "crap fish" just sheer fresh, local, daily seafood love.
Emilio MartínezDecember 8, 2014Order the cioppino. It is utterly delicious!! Service is great and very friendly.
BonobosAugust 15, 2012Bring a friend and share a pot of the cioppino. It's a must for seafood lovers.
Scallops were amazing, in a crack-based lemon butter sauce.- Massi BotteroAugust 6, 2017Stop going there! Seafood is mostly frozen and the service sucks except if you come there as a compliant and admirative. Their pasta is pre-cooked, so never proper. Maybe the crab is ok, oysters too.
Dee PMay 28, 2012The seafood cioppino was definitely worth the wait! Wonderful staff and warm environment..
Exceptional cioppino! Cheap wine! What's not to love?
Sasha HeDecember 18, 2011The cioppinp was off the chizzo fo shizzle! Enough to share between 2 people, and we licked the plate clean. ;)
Mark WestallMay 30, 2012Chefs choice with linguine - you cannot go wrong. Great atmosphere, great staff.
