Located in the safe, clean and lively Castro area, this was an amazing finish to our day. If you're craving fresh, quality ?, American Italian food, big portions and a dinning room with a ton of character The Sausage Factory is a sure bet for a great dinner. In a world of restaurants serving swill and disappointment, The Sausage Factory is easy on your budget and will leave you satisfied for sure.

The sausage factory in Castro is a top notch restaurant! The food was great and the service was excellent. The atmosphere of this small restaurant is one of the very best.Booth by the window so you can watch the people move around on Castro street!It’s a must visit and dine , prices a very good considering you are in San Francisco.

The giant salad is a meal unto itself. Still, all of the dishes are generously portioned and delicious. The service is unobtrusive and so friendly. The music playing quietly in the background are oldie goldies everyone hums along to.

This is a wonderful mom and pop shop situated in a building that once housed a sausage factory, kind of makes for a more unique dining experience.How you start a meal is a good indication of how it is going to end, so if you start with a tasteless and soupy salad, chances are the entree will follow suit. That won't be the case here, they can serve a good salad and they can also serve a good pizza. Cheers!

They seem to staff the same whether they have zero customers or a full front and party in the back. Service is passable enough when they’re empty but if they’re even a little busy save yourself the misery. Just left after it took nearly 30min to get a drink order— didn’t want to find out how long I’d have to wait to actually get food :(

Good food and wait staff. This is an iconic Castro establishment, it is a must go-to Italian restaurant!!!!
Fantastic food and great service. We got the extra cheese garlic bread, shrimp fettuccine Alfredo and meatball pizza, and they were delicious and great size portions.

We ordered the cheesy garlic bread, fettuccine shrimp Alfredo and meatball pizza. They were all delicious! The portion sizes were also great. The restaurant had a clean and cute atmosphere, and the waiters were very nice and efficient. Highly recommend this place, would definitely come again.

In a world with overly bougie uni pasta served in small portions, this red sauce joint is a welcome time capsule. Serving up all the comfort classics along the pasta, pizza and calzone spectrum. Conveniently located in the heart of the Castro and reasonably priced (for San Francisco), this is a reliable neighborhood go-to.Alan's Garlic Bread: This really sets the standard for garlic bread. Buttery garlicky spread soaked into the bread, covered in gooey mozzarella and then some extra slices of garlic on top for another zing. Paired with marinara sauce, so it can be pizza-like. I could seriously make a meal out of this.Chicken Parmigiana w/ Penne: The menu lists potatoes and veggies as the sides, but you can get pasta substituted. Which is exactly what I did since I wanted the full nona homecooked experience. The chicken cutlet was crispy and thick, with ample amounts of mozzarella on top. Generous amount of sauce on both the chicken and the al dente penne. Extremely filling and tasty.Lasagna: Generous amounts of sauce and mozzarella on top, which is so nice. I hate when places just give you a reheated cube. Underneath all that wet stuff is many layers of pasta sheets, cheese and meats. Another great comfort food.

A perfect 10/10! The service and food were amazing. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara and was thoroughly satisfied, though the generous portions left me unable to finish the dish.
