“Fun neighborhood-type place. We always feel welcome and happy at La Locanda. The Caesar salad actually tastes like anchovies and the Parmesan makes the dressing a little creamy. All the Pinsa is delicious. We've tried them all and enjoyed each variety. Re wine, If you ask for a mineral-ly white, they will recommend and you'll be happy. All the dishes the wait staff carried by us looked tempting. All the wait staff is friendly. One problem: the focaccia is so good that it's hard to stop eating it.“
“Not many places have that old school. Feel to it with the new world charm. But this place does. It's one of my favorite places in marine not because of an nostalgia. But because of quality, the manager seemed nice or the owner. I don't know who he was. But the you made me wanna come back. Food of course was tasty.“
“One of the better pizza places in SF. We ordered the spicy grandma pizza (4/5) and the cheese garlic bread (3/5). Just FYI - the garlic bread has full garlic cloves ?.Parking is a bit difficult to find depending on when you go. Also, I don't think they have a reservation system. You just need to add yourself to the wait-list online probably 30 mins before you plan to go there. Really recommend you get added to the wait-list else the wait times can be really long.Although the pizza was a bit expensive, it was tasty and I definitely plan to come back to taste the other items on the menu.Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options to choose from.“
“One of the most affordable yet delicious pizza in town. Other than simple pizza like pepperoni or combo, they have clam and garlic, which is quite unique. It is a square style pizza so it is a quick thick and filling. Well, if you are hungry, please get two! The staff is quick and attentive as well.“

“Hands down, literally the best dinner I've ever had! From the wine, to Bruschetta appetizer, to meat canneloni and the best tirimissu I've ever had. I'm remember this dinner for a long time! The service was unbeatable as well.. hidden gem!“
“Went here for dinner with my neice, and it was amazing. The staff was very friendly. We were a little cold and the staff brought us blankets. A must try was the meatballs, yummy. The salad was delicious, as was the pasta. Generous servings, and the food was nice and hot.“
“My husband and I really liked it here, came accross it post discovering the bay. We'd walked miles, and fancied some pizza! We chose well.It's a really lovely place, plenty of seating snd they accommodate us walking in on a busy night. The aesthetic is special. All the staff were really great.We had a mix of pizza, with some extra toppings, mozarella sticks and olives. If there's one thing you need, it's the insanely cheesy mozarella sticks! Don't eat here without them.Pizza was really good, crispy and flavoursome. The price is fine considering location, and portion sizes. Would recommend going here!“
“First time eating a deep dish chicago-style pizza as it's my first time in the US, and this was something else. Very nice, definitely different than a good old Napoletana I am used to :) the thin crust pizza was also very nice! For the two of us (one adult man and one woman), we've ordered a 10" thin crust pizza and an 8" deep dish pie (old Chicago style), and it was more than enough for us. The full-sized deep dish pie looked huge so I'm glad we didn't order it! It seemed like it would fill 4 adult men.“
“After 20 years later my husband and I back to enjoy the pizza, a bottle of wine , espresso coffee and they delicious Tiramisu OMG this restaurant sill with the best food and the best service, a Italian gentleman and a Yucatán gentleman make us totally happy with our meal.????“
“This was a fabulous Italian restaurant in the marina! Unfortunately, you can't make a reservation before hand so you need to queue on the yelp waitlist. However, if you're flexible the wait time is not too bad. We were a party of 3 looking for seating on a Saturday around 8 and waited about 30 mins. Besides this, the restaurant is adorable with beautiful dish wear and cute decor. We got some white wine for the table which was delicious and the waiter was great with recommendations. I ordered the bolognese which was so flavorful and the pasta was perfectly cooked. However, I do wish there was an option for more cheese on the pasta. We finished our meal with complimentary lemon gelatos which were very refreshing. Highly recommend Casado Osteria for your next date night or dinner with friends!“
“I liked Za a lot - they have a new york style pie (so, thin) and a cornmeal crust. You have to like that sort of thing, and know how to eat it - newbs let it cut their mouth and cry about it. Don't do that, don't be a newb. The owner was named Buzz, I went their for a lunch slice. Very friendly and toppings came through / weren't overwhelmed by the sauce. Nice neighborhood spot.“
“Napizza is one of my favorite “go-to” restaurants in SF.Their quality of food is 10/10.Their service and attentiveness is 10/10.Their wine list is a 10/10 (primarily Italian reds).I have brought many friends from out of town and guests here to eat, as its ambiance is one of coziness, its intimate (in terms of its size), and fun (they tend to play music towards the evening depending on the crowd / customer vibe).Do go check it out, and don’t hold back on trying different things on their menu!P.s. I love their Caesar salad + anchovies“
“It’s a nice place to try authentic Italian cuisine. I tried the prosciutto pizza. I felt the overall taste was good but the prosciutto was not to the Italian standards. The service was excellent and staffs were efficient. I would go back again to try other dishes.Parking: The location is filled with many restaurants and is quite busy. It gets difficult to find parking.“
“Chico’s Pizza is a longtime favorite for many reasons. It’s one of the only places that’s open until 2am (why does San Francisco insist on rolling the streets) and their prices are reasonable. Love to support a local family business. They have awesome locations in soma and the tenderloin as “
“I really enjoyed Back to Back. The food was great, and the service better. Our server was engaging and fun. The only note is that it was pretty crammed in the little restaurant. I commend the servers for being able to maneuver around the close-set tables.“
“We came for dinner last night and had the margarita, sausage pizza, and winter salad. It was all delicious. The pizza had a nice crispy crust and the flavors were very balanced on the salad dressing. This is a cozier restaurant with roughly 5-6 pizzas on the menu. As others have mentioned, we recommend coming earlier unless you want to wait. We were there at opening and got a table no problem. We will definitely be back.“
“We had a DELIGHTFUL dinner here. We had the beef dish, the catch of the day, broccoli rabe and vegetarian platter with grilled zucchini, eggplant, red pepper, artichokes and mushrooms. The setting was lovely with art on the walls and italian music -- was it an opera?!? on the stereo. Good service, great meal. Enjoyed by all.“
“Piccolo Forno is our go-to Italian gem in San Francisco! Every visit feels like a culinary adventure, with phenomenal service and a staff that goes above and beyond. The food is simply divine, showcasing the freshest ingredients and flavors that transport you straight to Italy. And even our furry friend approves—the meatballs were a hit with our dog! Piccolo Forno truly is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine in the city.“
“Decided to try Delarosa on a whim & very glad we did. Lovely patio seating for our dog, & the service was 10/10. We ordered the meatballs & Brussels to start, hot salami pizza, gold/red beets salad, & Caesar salad. The best.“
“I first came to Tommaso's in 1966 when a student at San Francisco State. Does anyone remember the SF Opera chorus lining the center table and singing? Or the drag queens from Finnochios? There was always a can of AquaNet in the men's restroom. What a great place!“

“Okay I only stopped in a few shots and a couple glasses of wine deep for a slice of pizza late night but honestly that slice hit so hard, delicious with a nice oily gristle to it and the perfect size to fold in half and go to town. The guys working here were friendly too. Thanks “
“Fantastic in every way. Great tap list. Great food. Great service. We had the burrata which was so gooey and nice. And the corn chowder was like life changing. The sausage was amazing. We are visiting from out of town but we will be back for sure. Service was excellent !!Edit March 2024: yep they’re still awesome !! Yay !“
“Battling a serious case of the Mondays and the post St. Paddy's day blues, I had been craving a burger for hours when I remembered I get to pass this San Francisco staple on the walk home. Sam, his son, and the chef's have been grilling up American style cheese burgers over a flame grill in this hole in the wall for nearly 60 years. Their classic recipe is the epitome of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Served on a paper plate with all the fixins, this not a fancy grommet-style meal, and there's no secret ingredient that keeps people coming back for more. It's the back to basics deliciousness paired with the old style feel of diners of the past. Staffed by only one or two people at a time, they're flipping burgers and making them consistently amazing and quick. Sam's hit the spot and 100% satiated my craving. They're open late on the weekends, so I'm looking forward to popping in again soon to round off a night out.“
“I absolutely love this place! The food is so savory and just so darn delicious. I love the small Italian cafe vibe and the neighborhood is great! My boyfriend and I came here 6 months ago and I can’t stop thinking about the butternut squash raviolis! It was a rainy night and the restaurant lit candles on the table and the experience was for us was romantic and memorable. I’m for sure planning another weekend trip to the city so I can return here for sure.“
“Drop everything. Go here now. Order more than you think you can eat (you can always take some home, and you’ll wish you had ordered more to take home). Taste and enjoy everything.Seriously, though….what are you waiting for? Even the most simple dish Chittara alla Pomodoro will knock your socks off. Simple doesn’t mean boring and tasteless. This dish is packed with fresh flavors and the pasta is perfectly al dente.Thank me later.“
“Great american style pizza.Thick dough - but very fluffy and not dry at all. Amazing slices of pepperoni sausage on top - very flavorful and super crunchy. Also very nice tomato sauce and cheese.Must try!I cannot comment on location and service as we ordered via UberEats.“
“While visiting San Francisco I wanted to get a quick meal before arriving to the hotel. I called Goodfella's and they took my order quickly. I ordered a pizza and wings. The pizza was great tasting, but what really took the prize for me was the wings! Has to be one of the best wings I've ever had! They were well breaded, and had a lot of meat. If you're ever in town, definitely give them a visit!“
“Definitely worth a go! We were having a wander after work not sure where to go for dinner and came across this place. It was quaint and nicely decorated and lucky for us they had a table available. Everyone enjoyed the dinner and the wine, and the staff were friendly and helpful.“
“We recently moved to Novato from Fort Worth, Texas and spent a couple of months trying to find our pizza. Well we found it! The pizza at Lo Coco's is delicious, and the staff are super nice and welcoming. I'm pretty sure the owner is there most of the time and knows a lot of his customers on first name basis. I really really really like this place!!“
“Is this place really absolutely fire or is it just 2am and am I just drunk every time I eat here? Who knows but it gets 5 stars from me LOL This place is oh so conveniently located right next door to Del Mar and is open until 3am on weekends!! The pizza is soooo good with a 10/10 gooey cheese pull. They sell a ton of other food too like I vaguely recall them having baklava but nothing sounds better than a pizza slice when I'm drunk so I've never tried anything else. Staff is friendly and the wait is never long (I think). It gets pretty crowded around that 2am mark and there's only a few tables inside but at that point in the night I don't mind just eating outside on the street LOL. Will definitely be back next time I'm out at the marina bars drinking!!“
“Love looking for new places to try, especially when traveling. Provided options to my SIL for her bday dinner and this is what she opted for. We ordered an assortment: beer battered onion rings, ceaser salad, kale salad, clam chowder, mustache pizza and shrimp scampi pasta. We enjoyed everything (no leftovers). We ordered dessert: tiramisu and chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream. It takes about 15 minutes for the cookie as they make it fresh in a cast iron pan so it's served nice and warm. Cute place and great ambiance.“
“The staff of Barbara Pinseria are so awesome. They made my friends birthday SO special and didn't even flinch when accommodating a part of 20 - they didn't seem overwhelmed at all, rather very kind and happy we were there. On top of the awesome staff, the food and drinks are DELICIOUS. There's a million reasons to come here, but you only need one - just do it.“

“Great lunch place M-F in the financial district. All their soup offerings are vegetarian and flavorful. My go to for pasta is their Fusilli Vegetarian. Other pasta dishes have been good. Never had their pizza but seems popular. Nice Italian ownership who knows all the regular customers.“
“I recently took some friends out for Sunday dinner at Giaco's. We had a cozy table right next to the fireplace, delicious food and great service. Recommend the Osso Bucco, the Papardelle pasta and the Blackened black cod. So, so delicious. Wonderful warm ambiance. And...if you like Bloody Marys, theirs cannot be beat.“
“Palio is one of my favorite restaurants. I eat there with friends regularly and will continue to do so. The pizza (Margherita) is delicious and a perfect appetizer -- which is not to say the other appetizers aren't quite good -- because they are. There are always a few specials, a fish special, a pasta special and a meat special. So, even if you don't see something on the online menu you'll be able to choose a special, which is always quite tasty. The selection of Italian wines to complement the meal is quite nice -- and host Martino will guide you to a fairly priced bottle. In summary, I really really like Palio and everything about it and will continue to be a loyal patron. Plus -- easy and free street parking. A real plus in San Francisco.“
“Oh goodness this place was INCREDIBLE! We found it from searching for food in Sausalito and I’m so glad we did. It has the calmest, warmest ambiance and felt welcoming to us with our young kids. The servers and owners were beyond kind and the food was out of this world. The caprese appetizer was extremely flavorful and the pizzas were perfection. Couldn’t recommend this enough.“
“My husband and I reserved Gaspare’s side dining room for our wedding rehearsal dinner. Daniel, the owner, was so responsive and informative throughout the planning process. On the night of our event, the restaurant staff were so kind and attentive and made the night flow so smoothly, and the food was great. If you are looking for a restaurant in Marin to host a private event, I cannot recommend Gaspare’s enough!“
“Absolutely divine✨The pizza crust is incredible. The pizza and the slices are so fresh. The people working here are so sweet and kind. Highly recommend!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. No steps to enter, button to open door automatically, clear way to the register.“
“This is your cue to visit this beautiful location if you haven't already.Wonderful people, an authentic interior, but food! It's beyond words to describe.To believe it, you have to feel it. each dish is cooked to perfection, with an excellent flavor balance. I love it.“
“finished a hike nearby, close to mount tam. Prices are fair for being in Sausalito. We were greeted by Jacob, who was very nice and polite. started off with a Caesar salad took me and my guest two minutes to finish it off. generous portion. Pizza came out subsequently. Biggest compliment you can give a chef is finishing it in five minutes. everything was great about our experience, the weather, food and service. please support.“
“Delicious sandwich. I am obsessed with the dutch crunch bread. The people behind the counter were so nice and made our sandwiches quickly. Loved the essence of this sandwich shop. I recommend to anyone who is visiting Sausalito. The location is beautiful.“
“I ordered a pizza for delivery, pizza was excellent! And I’m originally from the east coast so I grew up eating some of the best NY style thin crust pizza. This pizza is some of the best I’ve had in California and I’ve lived throughout the state over the last 16yrs. Authentic thin crust NY style.“
“Absolutely the best! I had the calzone, and we have had the pizza previously. The food is superb! 000 flour from Italy is a nice touch for the freshly made pizza and pasta. We were enjoying lunch and I couldn't help but wonder why we ever eat anywhere else. The café has a small indoor space and beautiful, outdoor seating. The host/waiter was very kind and patient as we debated what to order. Everything looks so good! As it turns out, I was debating between the salad and the calzone, and the calzone comes with something like a salad on top of it.??“
“If I could give 6 stars I would!!Amazing selection of pizzas that are super friendly for anyone with dietary restrictions, lovely cafe type ambiance with opportunity to people watch folks on the main street, and great service!My husband and I came here on a Sunday afternoon after a quick hike with friends - we were all hungry! The menu offered vegan and gluten free options (including vegan tiramisu!).We went to order at the register and were given recommendations/top sellers. My husband and I love olives so we decided to go with Olive You. The food came out quick! Given our group size we decided to eat at the picnic tables at the park across the street. The pizza was delicious!!! They weren't shy with the olives and the crust was nice and crispy.We definitely want to be back to try other items off the menu!“
“What a great experience. Everything was great, from our beautiful pear salads to the delicious pappardelle, gnocchi, and cavatappi... Oh please get the limoncello pannacotta. If you are lucky, your servers will be the excellent Alberto and Mauricio. They are truly the best.“
“The tortellini carbonara was beyond amazing.The restaurant is very cozy and feels like a true family place. Lights were dim but it wasn't dark. Small place but it didn't feel cramped. Took a bit for food but it wasn't unreasonable and the dish was so good it made sense.While we ate we watched several other diners unexpectedly run into people they knew - that tells you all you need to know about the kind of place it is!“
“Seriously SUCH a good pizza place! I’m from the east coast and it reminded me of classic NY pizza! There were many pizza places I was trying to decide between and myself and family are SOOO glad we chose this place! Also, the staff are so nice and focused on making their customer happy. I’ll eat here again for sure!“
“Best pizzas in the world. They sell slices of pizza of which I had two. My choice was called Peace in the Middle East. The ingredients and seasoning really made it fabulously great. The crust was not hard but a nice texture. I recommend this pizza for all pizza lovers!“
“We have been looking for great pizza since we moved to Marin a little over a year ago. I am happy to tell you that we finally found it! This pizza is as close to Neapolitan style that can be found in Marin. They have unique and well thought flavor combinations, especially the "Pizza of the Month" offering. My favorite is the "Escalle": tomato, house mozzarella, house sausage, Zoe’s pepperoni & fennel pollen. I get mine with extra red sauce. They offer a take and bake option where your pizza will be mostly baked and you finish it off at home. This is a great option because your pizza will be as hot and fresh as possible when you pull it out of the oven. The pasta dishes are also tasty and well thought. If you have a sweet tooth I highly recommend the "Butterscotch Pudding" it is absolutely divine.“
“Amazing pizza and Caesar salad. The Specialized was so good... The sausage and pepperoni were the best I have tasted outside of Rome Italy. Thin and delicious pizzas just like Roma.What a gem this place is... I can't wait to return for the dinner service.“
