One of my favorite places in Nob Hill! It's so cozy, but pretty small so sometimes there's a wait. My favorite dishes are the tortellini and the bettola sauce. The chocolate ganache is also to die for- definitely recommend!!

Ordered To-go, it was quick and easy and very delicious! I think I would prefer to eat in next time, as the exterior looked so cute! It's definitely a place you want to enjoy the ambiance. The to-go staff and hostess were quick and nice.

Cute little family spot. Got margarita pizza with sausage and gnocchi bolognese. It was good. Would come back

Amazing. The cutest American Italian restaurant and great service. My fiancé and I just moved in across the street, we popped in last weekend tired from moving etc. and it was everything we hoped our new neighbor would be! The gnocchi was light as a feather and the red sauce was lovely. Not pictured was the wonderful and very flavorful caprese salad - they add red onion and balsamic which gave it an extra kick, highly rec.

Lovely dinner in Nob Hill. We ordered focaccia to start and then had carbonara, pesto and penne vodka. They got one of our pastas wrong and quickly subbed it out for the correct dish. They gave us a free dessert because we had to wait for the corrected item. The chocolate ganache was delightful. Service was great. Highly recommend.

4.5/5 Service: came here for a quick pizza before an event close by. We were able to get seated on a friday 6pm outside right away. We ordered 2 pizzas and it took 20 mins to get the food, but the service was good in between. Food: pizza was veryy good! Fresh and very cheesy. Good flavor. Would definitely come back and check out the indoor ambiance when I have more time. Parking: street, not the easiest area, but was able to find something 2 blocks away. There are parking lots close by too but they're $50

I absolutely love this place! The food is so savory and just so darn delicious. I love the small Italian cafe vibe and the neighborhood is great! My boyfriend and I came here 6 months ago and I can’t stop thinking about the butternut squash raviolis! It was a rainy night and the restaurant lit candles on the table and the experience was for us was romantic and memorable. I’m for sure planning another weekend trip to the city so I can return here for sure.

The carbona flavor was very good, but the pasta texture was lacking. It was kinda soft. Gnocchi was delicious with every bite.

Came on a Friday evening and the restaurant looked pretty full. The staff is very friendly and gave us a list of recommendations and specials for the evening. My friend got Spaghetti alla Carbonara and I got the Risotto del Dia. For the day I went, it was risotto with chicken and asparagus. The waiter will ask if you would like cheese and pepper. The risotto was okay, I wish the chicken had more flavor. My friend's carbonara was flavorful and creamy. Maybe I'll come back to try some of their other dishes.

Always tasty. Love the Gnocchi, Chicken Parm, and Lasagna. Service can be a little uneven depending on how busy - but never bad.

Horrible service, and rude staff. Waiter took our plates before we were done and he poured water all over the table. He snatched the menu before we said we were done ordering too. Do not fall for the good reviews, the service is terrible!!!!

Came here to have dinner with my wife and daughter. We were seated within minutes. The good: our server was very attentive and accommodating. I believe her name is Lisa. She was very upbeat and timely with her service. She is definitely an asset at this place. The bad: The food was simply not good. Like, not good at all. We ordered the lasagna, the fettuccine Alfredo, and the cheese pizza. The food simply was not flavorable. It lacked seasoning and was just not good. The frozen lasagna from the grocery store tastes much better, and little Caesar's pizza has more flavor that what we had. I was really hoping we would have liked this place especially since is conveniently closely located to the Fairmont, which is where we stayed at. The ambiance was nice, but the tables were pretty close together. Overall, we probably wouldn't come back again. I was especially disappointed because I came a year ago and the food tasted much better. Perhaps they just had an off night.
