Had a craving for some charcuterie and opted to try out this spot. Their charcuterie was amazing- bread was freshly buttered and warm, the spiced jam was a nice touch and the cheese tomatoes were very unique.
Tried 2 of their pastas and they were very flavourful and were generous portions. The only complaint would be the slow service, they were moderately busy but we didn’t get waters or menus for about 10 mins after sitting down. This was quite slow and we also waited quite long for the food after we had ordered.
Would still give them another chance and try other menu items, perhaps before a meal time rush to see if they could redeem themselves on the service aspect. Great food overall.

The Godfather will make you an offer you can’t refuse. Pasta and vino sono divini!

A hidden gem!!! All handmade pasta, the most delicious wine and sauces, and the most lovely owner. Our favorite spot for years!

Best pasta and tiramisu ever

Excellent wine selection but the real stars are the homemade pastas and charcuterie. Unbelievable quality and some of the best pasta we’ve had outside of Italy! Our favorite neighborhood wine spot.

This is a lovely authentic neighborhood spot hidden right in our neighborhood. Giuseppe and his son take very good care of their guests and we thoroughly enjoyed the Italian cuisine including the sizable appetizers, and homemade pasta and desserts. Great wine selections by the glass. More people should know about this place.

Hidden Gem in the Richmond! My husband and I came to Corks after a rec from his coworker. While it's described as a wine bar, don't be so quick to skip out on their food—this place holds its own as a dinner spot.
We arrived pretty hungry after an afternoon in Golden Gate Park and ended up ordering more than usual, which turned out to be good thing...
- Wine: Great selection of Italian wines. I'm certainly no expert, and the staff was helpful in guiding us. - Appetizer: We started with the prosciutto and burrata, served with some bread. It was simple, fresh, and so satisfying. - Mains: We shared the cinghiale (wild boar pasta) from the regular menu and the bottarga special. Both were rich, flavourful, and filling. - Dessert: It was hard to choose just one, so we split the tronchetto and the pistachio cake—neither cake was too sweet and both were delicious.
We got there on the early side so it wasn't busy at first, but the place steadily filled up. However, even at its busiest, it never got too loud inside and it was still easy to hold a conversation. It's a cozy spot, with friendly and welcoming service, and you can get a fun peek into the kitchen too. If you plan to come at a busy time, consider making a reservation in advance.
Overall, I was really happy with my experience here from start to finish and I look forward to coming back soon!
We stopped in here on a whim planning to just grab a glass a wine and ended up staying and having a full dinner. They have a fun selection of wines and authentic Italian food. Pastas are prepared fresh and they have menu items that you don’t see often, like Bottarga! Everything we ordered was delicious and the owner was kind and welcoming. We sat inside by the window because it was a chilly SF evening but there is outside seating and a parklet for a nicer, warmer day. Will return!

Delightful little spot. Great food and wine. Server was super nice and attentive. Very happy discovery.
We'll have to come back for the old school Italian music other reviewers mention. Our playlist was lounge covers of American top 40. I'd prefer Italian!

Came for a glass of wine and stayed for the full dinner. You in Italy without going to Italy. No rush, cozy atmosphere, all old school Italian music hits, unexpected homemade pasta combinations and great wine list. Definitely coming back next time I’m in San Francisco.
