Great place. Gnocchi was great and the all pastas are fantastic. Just over $140 for 4 adults.

In full disclosure, we ended here by chance. The restaurant we were headed to was closed for a private party. What good luck we had.
Firenze by night is a true family-run (Sister as the host, brother as waiter and kitchen guy), old school Italian restaurant in San Francisco’s iconic North Beach. If you’re looking for “elevated” Italian or groovy cocktail lists, this is not the place for you. But if you’re looking for amazing food and attentive service in a an old school vibe of warmth and authenticity then check it out.
We shared a bottle of wine, and devoured the home baked focaccia. Green salads were fresh, and the dressing was excellent and tangy. My partner had the famous gnocchi and was positively effusive about it throughout the meal. I had the spinach and ricotta ravioli with light marinara sauce… Divine.
Can’t wait to go back.

The service was excellent and energetic, but the portions for the appetizers were shockingly small. $13 for a Cesar salad a little bigger than my palm and $14 for Caprese (3 pieces). Giving it 3 stars because the tortellini and gnocchi were really good.

8/10 a small intimate restaurant in north beach, perfect for a date night.
the bruschetta (9/10) was solid, and exactly what you'd expect from bruschetta lol. idk how you could mess it up, but it was good!
we got the linguini tuttimare (7/10). it lacked a little flavor, and the mussels and clams were fishy and tasted old :/ presentation was great though and it came out hot!
the penne mare e monti (9.5/10). for what it is, it was great. the shrimp was perfectly cooked and the sauce had the flavor that the linguini lacked.
apparently this place is known for their gnocchi so i'd want to come back and try that. i'd recommend firenze! very solid and very reasonable prices in north beach :)
tiramisu (9.5/10). whipped cream was fresh, so good. there was a strong coffee taste and bits of sugar. man, so delicious. my only critique is i wish the bread was softer. it tasted a bit stale

It's a classic Italian-American restaurant with uneven food quality. The fish of the day was excellent! But the salad caprese (buffalo mozarella with tomato and basil had a tasteless tomato, with was criminal as there were fresh, amazing tomatoes for sale around the city -- we had a better salad caprese the next day at home) and the quail stuffed with sausage (the sauce and polenta was excellent but the sausage was bland and the quail added nothing to the dish; it was really a let down to the meal) were subpar. At the price point of this restaurant, such uneven quality is unacceptable. The service and atmosphere was good, but what does it matter if you're being served an inedible tomato?

Amazing food every time, especially the gnocchi trio. Amazing service by Paulo and Fabio and all involved. I have been going to Firenze By Night for about 20 years and it has never disappointed.
This place was amazing!! Food, staff and atmosphere were great. Very much made us think we were back in Italy. Food was incredible! Highly recommend getting the gnocchi

Fabio and Paulo were great. The food was so good that we ate their two nights in a row.
Service was rushed and food came in like 5 minutes, which was clearly not enough time to make 3 pasta dishes (likely microwaved). Fettuccine with seafood was overcooked. $28-30 for a bowl of pasta. Don't understand how this place is 4.7. Maybe we were unlucky
