Very charming Italian restaurant very well located on Sutter Street, three minutes' walk from Union Square. Very rich Italian food, prices in line with the usual in San Francisco....if you are Spanish it will seem expensive....but they are not so much compared to the rest of the city. Very professional service

Very disappointed with my tuscan chicken. Poor balance of flavors. The chicken consisted of 2 cutlets and they were dry and tasteless. The veggies that came with it were from a frozen mix. My husband ordered the linguine with clams. Not enough linguine and bland taste. Too bad as it is a sweet place inside.

Service was great! UNFORTUNATELY, the service could NOT make up for the lousy food! You think you’re in SF, it’s gotta be good? NOPE. Crab cakes burnt/overdone, Eggplant parm soggy, Penne pasta rubbery. Definitely will NOT be coming back. Still gave the waitress a 25% tip….not her fault the food is disgusting!

We had a wonderful experience! You can tell this is a local favorite. Small corner restaurant in a convenient location. Waitress was very quiet & maybe a bit shy. Starter bread was ok. Absolute best chicken picatta I have ever had! Steak was wonderful as well. Fresh veggies cooked perfectly. Pasta was simple & tasty. The crème brûlée & tiramisu was fabulous & generous potions. Definitely give it a try!

Best Italian restaurant I have ever been to! Service was quick and so so amazing! Host/hostess takes you to your table and you are served immediately. You will never run out of water since they bring it to you before you run out! The atmosphere was amazing. I loved their music, it simply just added to the experience. The food was cheaper than you would think! Especially since it was so high quality. (If you are planning to get bread appetizers know that there is free bread.)

Food was ok but way too much sauce, too much cheese and lacked flavor. My Italian wife fancied some decent pasta but was disappointed overall. Over priced, not authentic and average all round.

Really bad food. The meat was raw and the service poor. Everything tasted liked warmed up food and not with fresh ingredients.

The food was really delicious, however the service and the fact that the waiter wore black gloves felt like we were not welcome and acted unprofessional.

I got the carbonara and I was not disappointed. The food was fantastic, the service was friendly and fast, wonderful spot for people watching by the window. I am looking forward to testing the truffle gnocchi next!
One of few places open near Union Square on a Sunday night. Service was great, but food was very mediocre. Everything tasted like it was manufactured, meat had artificial grill marks and was strangely textured... prices weren't too bad, so I guess there's that? Y'all seemed like a lovely little neighborhood restaurant, but sorry to say I would not return.

This is a quaint, charming corner restaurant with white table cloths. My wife and I were expecting a delicious, home-cooked Italian meal. The salad was okay, but the eggplant Parmesan was warm and rubbery. Probably should have had a pasta entree. We were unimpressed.

I had come to this absolute gem years ago, but forgot about it during the Pandemic, and only recently returned. I can say as an Italian it is without question one of the top 3 Italian places in SF. Outstanding lobster ravioli, outstanding service, and extremely reasonable pricing.Super affordable and exquisite lunch menu. Can't recommend this place enough.

The most inauthentic Italian food I have experienced. Poor commercial bread, about very hot Lasagne that was limited meat covered by lackluster cheese without being served in the usual heated porcelain dish. Very disappointing overall.

Service was good, reservation was honored. However, the lasagna arrived lukewarm, and the vegetables were cold. Dessert appeared to be leftover from day before. Owner(?) offered to make it right next time, which I will not be. Do not recommend this restaurant.
