Steven HFebruary 8, 2017After living in North Beach for a year and succumbing to so many tourist trap Italian restaurants it is refreshing to discover an authentic one in my new neighbourhood! Tastes of Florence!
Serving Illy Coffee and house made pastries. Soon they’ll add other light lunch options. Comfy indoor and outdoor seating!
Emily LeAugust 29, 2021Cozy ambiance whether you’re in the patio or indoors (they project old films on the walls). Smaller portions + steeper prices than others but you pay for the environment. Order pasta made in-house!
Sabina B.March 12, 2017All of their pastas are super tasty - particularly the squid ink with seafood. Come hungry, you will not be disappointed- Can't go wrong with any of their pasta dishes. The gnocchi antipasti and grilled calamari are also very good. Was not a fan of their cocktails though.
Badger BadgerFebruary 28, 2019If you’re a twink, expect great service. If you’re not like us, expect to be overlooked and wait 90 minutes
Pei 👻 WenApril 19, 2016Mediocre pasta. Great ambience & service though. The window seat was amazing.- Badger BadgerFebruary 28, 2019If you’re a twink, expect great service. If you’re not, like us, expect to be overlooked and wait 90 minutes
- Maya EbsworthMarch 19, 2017most of the food was amazing (in particular the lamb ragu) but the branzino was meh
Showtime NetworkApril 1, 2011This Castro hot spot is known for its good-looking staff… as if Lucrezia needed another reason to re-think her marriage.
The food is genuinely Roman Italian as I remember it served in Rome.
Loren MattiaJune 27, 2013Worst service ever. Was told there was a "5 minute" wait when in reality they meant about 30 minutes. All the while there were about 4 open tables. WUT?
gJuly 7, 2011Incredibly over-rated, poor service and forgettable food. I always give restaurants a 2nd chance, this place does not deserve a 3rd.
Ryan SepanskiMarch 23, 2013GO TO ANOTHER RESTAURANT!! This place is horrible: bad service, terrible drinks, pathetic food, downright lies on the menu...YUCK YUCK YUCK. NOTHING REDEEMING ABOUT THIS PLACE!!!
