Jack SattaAugust 6, 2013Their carbonara is, I'm told, the real deal. Roman, made by a Roman. It was indeed fantastic. Not to mention it's where Italian is spoken, and, I'm told, the local neighborhood waitstaff come to dine.
The pastas are incredible (the pappardelle is my personal fav). Always a great meal and friendly faces ❤
Jodie SteinbergNovember 11, 2013The menu is great. I had the homemade tortellini stuffed with veal in a super rich creamy sauce. They do cream sauce right here.- Janice PavikFebruary 26, 2012AMAZING FOOD!!! The tortellini dish is to die for. The service was super slow when it got busy. Be prepared to wait, but it is worth it.
Lia HernandezOctober 29, 2012excellent homemade pasta and sauces. they use high quality parmigiana here, too. lively but romantic place with friendly servers.- AvaFebruary 1, 2015I always get the spinach and ricotta ravioli, their pasta is homemade and perfectly fresh
Shannon LowJune 23, 2014Great Italian restaurant. Almost everything on the menu is great. Reasonably priced too.
Showtime NetworkApril 1, 2011Luckily, you’ve stumbled across a North Beach classic that’s under the tourist radar. If only the Vatican had such a place, the Borgia family would have surely escaped papal stresses and prying eyes.
Lauren BersonAugust 13, 2013The carbonara is unreal. Also the staff is superbly friendly w great energy. Love this spot.
Priya SaiprasadApril 11, 2013Traditional homemade Italian food in the heart of North Beach. Order the Bucatini with pancetta.
Melanie Loff-BirdAugust 9, 2013Grilled calamari appetizer is fantastic. A refreshing break from the usual fried fare minus the rubbery texture
Diana HeidemanOctober 30, 2011Proscuitto and pear starter is amazing, and their tiramisu is the best I have ever had.
VasiliJuly 17, 2011While prices are reasonable the food is average. Pizza swimming in water in the centre, Bucattini ok but very oily and calamari was under cooked.
