While staying at the Donatello I came here because of the desire to listen to live music and enjoy some wine. The first night I went down and was told I would need to come back in an hour as there was a large female party. I came back down and was squished into a corner and no one came to help me. The music was overly loud for the small place so I left and figured I would come back another day to try the food. Upon coming back we were the only ones sat in the restaurant at first and service was very slow. The appetizer was overcooked and the tiramisu was greatly lacking, for $15 I expect better than Safeway bakery quality. The pasta was amazing! We loved it so much we considered coming back but the other things made us change our mind. They automatically add a 20% tip in addition to the 5% San Francisco workers fee. Their 20% was barely earned and made one feel even further cheated.

Booked a table to enjoy a meal and music in the last day of our holiday. The front of house was disorganised and threw us to the bar to wait then wanted us to eat at the bar. I found that abhorrent given I booked a nice table For two. Then got told I would have to pay An additional $30 to be near the live music. So we were placed I. A quiet area of the restaurant with no atmosphere. The head waiter gave us a quarter of a glass of Prosecco to compensate. But overall we were unimpressed and would not recommend given the cost and service we experienced

We held a 30-person corporate reception and dinner at Zingari last week. Our guests have shared so much positive feedback on the setup, service and food - all fabulous. As the organizer, I was relieved to choose from so many vegan/gluten-free options on the menu. Thanks Neeraj to you and your team for treating our guests to a wonderful evening - we'll be by next time we're in San Francisco.

This is a gem in San Francisco! Worth michelin star!! After dining in many places around the world, I can confidently say that their high-end dining experience is truly unique. When we went, there was a live piano and violin band that was memorable. The food was great? ?

Our group of 7 tried Zingari on a whim and were very pleased at the outcome. The cocktails were great and the food was nothing short of excellent. It was pretty expensive, so I guess we should expect more when you pay more, but even so, we were surprised at how great the experience was. They didn't have any music playing the night we had dinner, so I can't comment on how that would have impacted the experience. But if you're looking for really good Italian food and great drinks, and aren't on a tight budget, Zingari is a great option.

The weather in San Francisco was quite windy and rainy last night, and we decided to dine at our hotel, The Donatello. We had a delightful evening with excellent service and delicious Italian food. They had a wide range of choices. We sat in a comfortable booth and enjoyed the jazz music played. Everyone that we encountered was very welcoming and attentive. We look forward to our next trip to San Francisco and will be sure to make ZINGARI a regular choice.
Great place, great service. Make sure to pay attention to wine prices on the menu. Prices are not in ascending order.

Very disappointing. Food was average, at best. The service was non-existent, as we saw our waiter a total of twice over 2.5 hours (and it was not a busy night). For the price I expected a lot more. Will not be returning.
This place is amazing!! The food and the service was great. I loved our waiter, he didn't rush us. He helped us pick just the right appetizers share. I had the chicken with feta and spinach, so so delicious. My dining companions also loved their choices. My cocktails was so cute and tasty. This place should be full every night. My best dinner out in the city in Forever. Eat here you won't be sorry. We will definitely be back.
We enjoyed our dinner, and we especially enjoyed the jazz trio performing that evening. Joyce Grant & The Perfect Blend were excellent! We hope to catch them on a future visit to San Francisco.

The best part is the jazz music. We were there on a Saturday and they had a slamming band.
