First time at Pranzi...loved everything! Ambience, service and food were the best! Our server, Matt, was friendly, knowledgeable and did not rush us. The owner and staff knowing that it was first time, went out of their way to make our experience the best it could be. We will definitely be back soon!,

The warm décor and service - our waiter, Matt, was great - are top-notch. We enjoyed the calamari, the wagyu burger and fries (a seriously hefty burger that makes a meal for two) and the tagliatelle with wild mushrooms, garlic, tartufata and green onion. They are accommodating to diner's needs, e.g., I requested light on the truffle oil and the server immediately understood. Bonus: they serve their own warm, heavenly light, freshly-baked bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar: this is sadly missing from so many Italianish restaurants these days. Service could not have been better. Nice indoor space, and plentiful outdoor seating as well.

Our very favorite place! We love everything about it- the food, the service (nicest people ever!), the vibe. So friendly and they make sure we are always satisfied. The food just gets better and better too!
Valerie
Thank you to the staff for a phenomenal visit celebrating my son's graduation. It was a lovely evening sitting outside with delicious food and excellent service. So rare! See you again soon
Joe
Fantastic experience - we hosted a family graduation party of 8. The restaurant managers works with us to ensure we had a wonderful night. The food is excellent, especially the homemade pastas.
Steve
Pleasant atmosphere, but the kitchen needs help. Order the octopus on the waiter's assurance that it has been tenderized, but it was very tough. The kitchen's problems continued even with pasta.
Linda
What a wonderful experience. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I knew it would be a good experience. The staff was welcoming and so attentive. The food was delicious. I ordered the black squid ink noodles with mussels, clam, shrimp and scallops and it was perfectly prepared and cooked. Loved every bite and if I wasn't in SF for the rest of the week I would go back. A gem!

We had a great time at PRANZI. The food was great, especially the proteins. The service was very friendly and warm. We had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday at PRANZI.

Pranzi consistently provides excellent service and amazingly freshly prepared entrees. We enjoyed shrimp ravioli and butternut tortellini both were perfectly prepared and highly recommended. Definitely we'll return again

Service was not attentive. We sent back two cocktails which were simple old fashions. The wine list was ok. The appetizer of the skillet prawns was good but not Italian in origin which left us hopeful for the main courses. Both were from the specials list and absolutely terrible! The braised short rib ravioli was in a weird not tasty mushroom gravy and the seasonal mushroom risotto was undercooked and had zero flavor- no amount of extra salt and Parmesan helped. I wanted to like but the menu is not classic Italian nor regional Italian or even really Italian at all which connects with the decor which was dark, modern and more Japanese in aesthetic. Won't be likely to recommend or return.
Service was very uneven. Kitchen was backed up. Sat with dirty salad/app dishes for 20-30 minutes.
Deborah
We sat outside, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious! We had the octopus' appetizer, beat salad and various main dishes and all were good. The chocolate mousse was divine. Great value for the money.
Joyce
Lovely and delicious dinner... excellent service and menu... ate in ourside area, which was heated well by the heaters and much quieter than inside, so higlhly recommend outside tables.
Dan
Great experience, excellent service and food, and good specials with a nice wine. Will definitely be back again.
