“This is the quintessential local authentic Italian spot! The food is amazing— favorites include the arugula and fennel salad, spaghetti with clams, eggplant side dish with balsamic and the incredible homemade tiramisu! But you can’t go wrong with anything. Try the pecorini wine or the mushrooms. This small spot is cozy and welcoming and the owner is the best. I am only in the city every few months but this spot makes it into my rotation each visit!“

“We feel so lucky to have had Trattoria da Vittorio cater our wedding! The food was absolutely phenomenal—our guests are still raving about the fiochetti pasta and the sausage ragù. Vittorio himself was a joy to work with: warm, accommodating, and incredibly generous throughout the entire process.

He welcomed us into his amazing restaurant for a tasting that felt more like a celebratory dinner than a formal event (we’ll definitely be back), and went out of his way to accommodate our guests with dietary restrictions. He even surprised us by offering to make custom shirts in our wedding colors—such a fun and personal touch that truly went above and beyond.

On top of all that, the pricing was very competitive and the entire experience felt more joyful and authentic than anything we saw from other caterers. We couldn’t recommend them more highly—thank you, Vittorio!“

“West Coast Cafe is a wonderful spot with delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu offers a great variety of fresh and flavorful dishes, and the service is friendly and attentive.

“I love the food here so much I ordered the make your own and got spaghhetti with pesto and it did not fail. It was so good and I wouldn't want it any other way. On top of this the waiter there remembered us from our past visit she is very nice and attentive. Overall will definitely come back here again.“

“Hidden gem on 24th st. I ordered the spaghetti and my bf the Ragu and Caesar. Everything was delicious and hearty. When he took a bite he immediately said that it was really good and tasted like homemade comfort food and he was right. The servers are nice and attentive!

They also have an amazing deal from 3pm-5pm 35$ for a 3 course meal!!!“

“Our meal was really delicious. We had two appys and two entrees. The beet salad and seared scallop appys were very tasty. I had the scampi over mashed potatoes with broccoli. My date had the filet mignon with brlue cheese, also with mashed potatoes. So delicious. Perfectly cooked. We also enjoyed a great glass or two of Pinot Grigio. We will definitely be back.“

“Great food and service. My wife said it was the best spaghetti she ever had.“

“Haystack pizza is an institution and Noe Valley staple! We came here on a Monday night for a third grade end of season soccer celebration and it hit all the marks. The pizza, pasta and salads were delicious. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. The location was perfect with a post meal playground right next door. We definitely came in hot with 40+ people, but they handled it. We are eternally grateful for the smiles they offered us and we loved all the delicious food we continually ordered for our insatiable crowd. Thank you for welcoming us and hosting us Haystack. We will be back!“

“A nice added gem to the Noe Valley neighborhood! They have wine cocktails, wine and beer. I love the elderflower cocktail. The pizzas and pasta are delicious - no surprise from the Fiorella brand. I love being able to look into the kitchen and large wood fire oven. A cozy space to get together with friends.“

“I almost feel bad giving it 4 stars and that is based ONLY on a couple of service blips with our food & drink order. Neither was a huge issue but ones that shouldn't have been made. We ordered two espresso martinis and got two "espressos." Not exactly what we were looking for and my guest ordered dressing on the side and got none. Like I said not huge issues but can't give 5 stars. BUT I will be back for sure the food was fabulous!“

“Really nice fair..lovely Americana incredible surprise in the Sunset.exactly what soccer player needs for good fuel.from salads to wings to DIE FOR!!!this place is 55.or even 5.2/5..craft well and sauces..REALLY...great street vibe or in back quiet.“

“As someone raised on the east coast, I consider myself a decent critic of what makes a sandwich shop better than what you can make at home. Number one is bread that isn’t something that can be bought at your local grocery store. Check that box- I don’t know exactly how to categorize their sub roll but it’s crusty, chewy and all the things that mass produced bread can’t be. Number two is the prep of the ingredients- at home we can all put a lettuce leaf on a sandwich, but that just creates a barrier between bread/sauce/meat. Here it’s thinly sliced and perfectly married to the importance of sauce…which they also nail. All I can say is WELL DONE!“

“Went there for date night. Between the food, the service and the atmosphere, we were both made to feel special. Thank you Buon Gusto!“

“Food was great. Service was excellent even the restaurant was packed at height of dinner. Great food!“

“The Brazilian food is amazing especially the Moqueca and the Feijoada ((:“

“Such a special place. Similar to La Ciccia, Binu Bonu maintains a lovely neighborhood feel. Huge selection of wine (all of it new to me and something I really liked), wonderful charcuterie type small plates (out of this world olives). The stars are the husband and wife that make the magic place happen.“

“Have been to Vega thousands of times, feel like it’s the second home to me:) I am not a huge pizza lover but I really love Vega’s pizza:) it’s very thin yet super flavorful. My favorite dish there is the secret menu dish Squid ink pasta, definitely on the savory side but super umami 😋“

“Great service, delicious food.“

“Super friendly and welcoming staff! Had the bacon and turkey deluxe sandwich on a Dutch crunch roll. Bread came toasted and meat and cheese melted. Was going to save the other half when I saw how huge it was but I shamelessly devoured the whole thing. Cannot wait to be in the area again. Highly recommend.“

“Great service I highly recommend!“

“One of the best served Pizzas in SF... will def go back with friends Friendly staff too“

“I love supporting small businesses and this place is the Best! I love their Lavazza cappuccino and pastries especially the cannolis! Got to try the vegetariana sandwich today and it was the best vegetarian sandwich I’ve had! Super cute spot and very kind people!“

“We love the crispy pizza crust the cheesy polenta & ricotta cheesecake! We appreciate that the staff is really fun and friendly as well. we love it here!!“
