The Robalitto Soup is hands down the best minestrone I've had in SF. Best thing to do on a date: Both order soup and slit a pasta, like the vodka penne :)
Best penne alla vodka in the country, hands down!
Grab a glass of wine while you wait outside (and there will most definitely be a wait, this place is walk-ins only). The penne and the tortellini w/pesto are amazing, as is the tiramisu.
The salmon penne is a must try.
Love the Penne al Salmone.
The house bread they provide is incredibly fluffy and they pair it with this delicious tomato spread. The portobello mushroom salad and shrimp, scallop and vegetable angle hair pasta are delicious
Get the penne with olive oil, garlic and sun dried tomatoes - then add Italian Sausage. You won't regret it!
Chris is an awesome bartender. Ask him for a shot of Cynar. After you eat the gnocchi!
Pretty good value for the money, and not expensive compared to nicer North Beach restaurants.
Order the green salad and save the extra dressing to pour over the penne alfredo... Yums
Best pasta outside of Italy, especially Pasta Rustica all'Antonio!
Penne alla alrrabiata (?) delicious but it's hot. Take care if you dont like spicy food... Try all the wine you can
Owned by Francis Ford Coppola, director of The Godfather movies. The penne arrabbiata and Syrah wine, both at the waiter's recommendation, were awesome. Definitely coming back.
They claim the Ceaser salad was invented here. At any rate it certainly was perfected here!
Great intimate place with wonderful food. Loved the penne with Italian sausage, mushrooms, broccoli and sun-dried tomatoes
Nice relaxed ambiance here..Order the bruschetta and ceasar salad to start, both are so flavorful & amazing. Also recommend the lasagna and seafood pasta dishes..the tiramisu will melt in your mouth!
This restaurant was run by an Italian family for decades. Ownership, management, and all the recipes recently changed hands--and the service is better. Get the L'Ottavo fettuccine!
Penne (gluten-free) Piccolo Forno! Incredible super fresh and tasty ingredients!
Pasta is good
Great pasta.
Plain penne w vodka and pancetta, and Chianti
Awesome meal, awesome service. We had the calamari appetizer and penne ala vodka. Fresh and authentic. Portions were enough to share between my wife and I. Tiramisu was the best I'd ever had. 👍👍👍
Great place! Ravioli alla Zucca was delicious ... went with my boyfriend we enjoyed it a lot... they offered a complementary antipasti, we tried an Italian option and was very tasteful ??
Don't miss it! Excellent food, the burrata was extraordinary, and the Presidio neighborhood crowd always hangs out there.
Burrata just do it
Chicken Milanese if ur about to get the electric chair
The verdura lasagna is amazing (all the lasagnas are wonderful but verdura is my favorite). For a change from lasagna try the ravioli alla romana... And get some bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Quite an amazing menu for lunch, their specialty, with a dinner menu 'to go' from 3:30-6:30.
You can't go wrong with their truffle ravioli, any of the lasagna, and caprese salad. After the meal, enjoy espresso made all'italiana
Lasagna is certainly their specialty on the weekend. Other dishes to definitely try: gnocchi, risotto and any of their raviolis. And save room for the not-overly-sweet tiramisu!
Great date night spot! Everything on the menu is delicious. Definitely get the tiramisu!
The grilled calamari is amazing
Really great food with perfect seasoning! Clam chowder, garlic roasted crab, and seafood penne, and even just the complimentary bread and butter were all delicious. The tiramisu was great as well.
Sit by the windows during the day and watch the sea lions sunning themselves on the docks below for added entertainment.
Had penne gorgonzola - it was fantastic! Capacina was well done. Good staff, very reasonable prices.
The best American croissant with scrambled eggs! Try!
Great breakfast.
I had a great meal here that now that am back in Miami I still crave. The fried calamari, clam chowder and the half crab and shrimp salad on sourdough bread. with a cold corona beer. Wish I was there.
Take the salad Crab/Shrimp.
Lots of delicious choices
Ok sure the cioppino is great but the chipotle penne is killer too!
Try the Seafood Saute - A generous amount of seafood in this dish. All fresh and delicious.
