When I lived in San Francisco, this was one of my all-time favorite neighborhood restaurants. It's cozy, the staff are super friendly and it's a genuinely unfussy, American-style Italian place that fills you up with comfort food. Came back after a long time away and nothing has changed. It's still warm and inviting with just the right mix of boisterous and quaintness. Their pasta dishes are pretty generous and well-priced.

After a 16 day tour of USA, this was remembered as the best restaurant by our family. Ate here twice, good area, excellent food, especially the Tiramisu! Really enjoyed talking to Michael, the owner. Get there early when it opens, no reservations and it is popular! Highly recommended.

Despite having to wait outside for over 20 minutes, we enjoyed our dinner here very much. Service was nice and the food tasted great.

Love the food and the service. Warm and friendly. A small cafe that makes having a casual dinner fun and relaxing. Great fresh specials and wonderful wine list.

Excellent service. Great food at a quaint location. This restaurant was very busy the night we visited. The food was fabulous and the atmosphere was awesome. The only drawback was they only serve beer and wine, if that is important to you.

We visited this fantastic city at the beginning of October for the first time and being based in Nob Hill for our stay we discovered this little gem. This is not high end restaurant with pompous decor, it’s fantastic honest Italian style foods made with quality ingredients and a skilled kitchen crew. The meals were so good we visited 3 times in our 10 day stay. I’d get there early as it fills up fast and people will wait for tables. They also do takeaway as a bonus. Well done guys

When a place has a queue outside, it is either a great place to eat or one to be seen at - this is the later, great food and ambience and if you arrive when there is a queue, one worth the wait

Situated in the middle of overpriced hotels in Nob Hill (we were at the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins which was way too expensive for us) we ate here for dinner two days out of three. The food is lovely, servers are polite and friendly and there’s a really good vibe in here. The chefs can be seen from the dining area and boy, do they work hard! Heartily recommended!
Fantastic restaurant. Small and homely. If you need to wait for a table, order a drink and do so, the wait is so worth it. Michael (owner) is an absolute gent and his staff are lovely. Food was as good as we’ve had in SF and Michael ensured our two kids (and us) were looked after from the minute we sat down. Full of stories about local movie locations including a Bullit one straight across the street. Look it up and go, you won’t be disappointed. Fitz’s U.K. and Ireland

The restaurant had a very positive energy going on. The owner, Michael, was our waiter and he was very kind and friendly. The food was also very good.

We walked by the Nob Hill Cafe earlier in the day and overheard someone talking to the staff outside the Cafe. He said, "we always came here when we lived in here back in the early 90's. Absolutely loved it!". Based on that (and online reviews) we gave it a try. Reasonably priced, great service, fabulous food, and great people dining! In fact, a conversation with the table next to us led us to a dinner location the following night. Highly recommended!

Amazingly it’s been about 8 years since we were here. Went back today and the food was as amazing as we remembered. Our favorite type of restaurants are casual but with great food and great service- this little place ticks those boxes
Could be better, still decent but expensive
