“the ambience and great cuppachino“

“Stopped there for lunch and it was delicious. Lasagna and Cioppino was delicious 😁“

“Great dinning experience Must try“

“Delicious food and wonderful ambiance. Loved by locals and tourists!“

“A “5 ⭐️” Seafood Favorite: Picturesque SF atmosphere, friendly service, unbeatable cuisine. Simply the Best!“

“The restaurant is lovely, it feels like a small small trataria Italy. The service was perfect, very conscious of the customer's needs. The burrata salad was delicious as was the pizza. The pizzas are cooked, as one would expect in a wood fired stove and are absolutely the best in every way. I want to go back and go through the menu and eat every thing.“

“Great ambiance , lively and friendly !“

“The food is amazing! Mauro Dosolini and his staff are the best!“

“Great leisurely lunch with girlfriends. Staff was friendly attentive. The butternut squash ravioli was to die for! Nice ambiance (we sat outside). Enjoyed!“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“Our waiter was friendly and helpful. The pasta is very good as you might expect but I think to be completely full, a couple should order a pasta per person and an entree to split. The citrus cake was amazing and the Gnochetti’s texture was also amazing. The tiramisu also looked incredibly good but unfortunately they sold out, so I’d definitely recommend the desserts as well.“

“The outdoor area is hooded, though you can still occasionally feel the draft. The restaurant staff was very friendly and welcoming to our pups, and they arranged our seats in a corner so the dogs could use more space to rest. The food is exquisite as usual. We especially love all the seafood dishes.“

“Had a luncheon @ Perbacco with my 9 coworkers and Manager to say “goodbye & farewell” to a retiring coworker and “welcome” to a new coworker. Started with a round of hors d'oeuvre’s. The thin sliced veal with a sauce and capers was delicious! The fried shrimp, veggies and olives/anchovies…also with a sauce was awesome as well. For my main, I had CRESTE DI GALLO - semolina pasta - wild mushroom ragu - spinach - ricotta salata. Our waiter was the best! I saved one of the sugar cookies from my deserts…Burnt Carmel Gelato. Mentioned it to our waiter and as we were leaving, I heard “Sir! Sir!” He brought me one of their meringue cookies to also share with my partner! I thought that was just awesome! Top notch food and customer service. We’ll be back!“

“Food was very tasty and well prepared, staff attentive and responsive, ambience is perfect“

“everything about the restaurant, from the heated outdoor dining, people who work there, the food so deliciously great especially the one that prepares and cook it, THE CHEFS, amazingly incredible they are and not so pricey above all.“

“The best pasta and sauces in San Francisco. Authentic Italian cuisine! Highly recommend. Father and son team are amazingly warm hosts!“

“This is our favorite and go-to restaurant for a special occasion. For the first time in over twenty years, the senior server for our table was so rude, made us so uncomfortable, that we almost got up and walked out. The food was superior, and the server that this guy was training was charming, efficient, friendly and did a great job.“

“Excellent food and service. My friends from NYC enjoyed their dinners as well. Will definitely be back!“

“Excellent service and great food!“

“It's been a classic in SF for so long for a reason. This is a must visit. Book early or you will not get in. If you fail to get in look up their sister restaurant penny roma, also incredible. The best deal here is the tasting menu. You 100% get your money's worth and get to try several off menu items. I live a 2+ hour flight away and I'll always try to get a table when I visit.“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“I’m here for business from Canada. Was taken here for supper by a coworker. The quaintest little restaurant, the owner and his wife are just awesome. The food is gorgeous! And his limoncello is the best I’ve ever had. Will be going back before I head home. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Food was amazing! Great atmosphere and friendly attentive staff!“

“Always a hit! You are welcomed like family!“

“It was our first time and the service was amazing. Our dinner was more than excellent, the grilled pork chops with sweet potato puree best ever tasted. Great selection in red wine and great atmosphere! Owners were there and were very welcoming and down to earth! 100% recommended“

“Great neighborhood restaurant. Attentive service, great food. We started with the frittura mista - calamari, prawns and zucchini lightly breaded and crispy. Served with a delicious slightly spicy marina sauce. One of the best I have had. Also had the beef carppaccio, very generous serving with perfectly sliced parmesan cheese and lightly dressed arugual with balsamic. Main course was buccatini amatriciana. Seasoned just right and a perfect portion size. HIghly recommend Amarena!“

“Simple, Delicious and Friendly!
Stopped by Golden Boy Pizza and tried their Veggie Pizza in a small size — and it absolutely hit the spot! Tasty, fresh, and just the right amount of satisfying.
What made the experience even better was the staff courteous, helpful, and genuinely great at walking you through the options and recommendations. A small touch that goes a long way!
Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. 🍕“

“This is a classic Italian restaurant with a lively atmosphere and excellent service. The portions are generous and the food is delicious. We ordered the classic pepperoni pizza, the classic cheese and bacon pizza, as well as the lasagna and carbonara. The pizzas were cooked to perfection, with a crispy and delicious crust. The pasta was cheesy and filling.“

“My wife and I went here for a Italian supper and wow was it good! Only good things to say about this place, and the best service we have had In years. We were very impressed!“

“The food and service here are just outstanding. The staff is very attentive but not hovering. The food is perfectly cooked and so very tasty. The kitchen is quite accomodating when it comes to requests. I highly suggest ordering the Caesar salad (definitely one of the best I have ever had), the Ravioli di Pesce and the lamb shank with polenta. You will not be disappointed!“

“The food is absolutely stunning. Everything is fresh and the flavors mix amazingly“

“Great team of real Pros! Husband Chef, Wife Wine Steward & Saul, my friend, Front of House…Outstanding!“

“We had a superb dinner at Rose's Cafe last night. All of the dishes we ordered were delicious, and the whole staff was extraordinary. Everyone, especially our server, Layla, made us feel welcome, comfortable and unrushed even though we arrived only twenty minutes before the kitchen closed (not on purpose, we were delayed arriving into SF). This lovely neighborhood eatery will be our go-to restaurant from now on while visiting our kids in SF. I enthusiastically recommend it !!“

“Delicious food, great drinks and amazing service.“

“Truly authentic Calabrese style Italian cuisine takes us back to Nonna’s kitchen“

“My husband and I enjoyed our dinner very much! He had the Paparadele and I had the beet salad and pizza. They were both delicious! We definitely will be going back!🍷“

“(Make a reservation)
We arrived at Capo’s around 7:20 pm on a Saturday and were told we would have to wait 40 minutes for a table.
As hungry travelers, we said thank you and as we were about to leave, the hostess finds a nook and sat us down outside. I appreciate the fact that she did us that favor.
There were no patio heaters, so if sitting outside or walking in during busy hours, expect to dine outside in the cold with no heat (during winter).

(The Staff)
It was a very busy night, but the staff did a spectacular job in checking in on us.

(The Food)
The appetizers come in a reasonably sized portion, we ordered the garlic bread with mozzarella and was given a complimentary dish of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
My partner ordered the meat lasagne and I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka with smoked pancetta. The food was really good, it’s unlike anything I have ever had.
Take in mind that the dishes do serve up to 2 people, on busy nights it make take a bit to get your food, and regular pizzas take up to 20 minutes to bake, deep dish pizzas take up to 45 minutes to bake (but they look like they are worth the time!)

(Conclusion)
I would have loved to sit inside, the vibe is really nice. If you are looking for authentic Italian food with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, book a reservation at Capo’s.“

“Great food. Great experience“

“Excellent espresso coffee, friendly service and a lovely brunch menu. I look forward to returning sometime for dinner. The chef’s were prepping a range of fresh looking ingredients and the smells emanating from the kitchen were beautiful!“

“This was our first time here, but definitely won’t be our last! The pinsa was SPECTACULAR and you could tell a great amount of care went into each one 🥰. It was a phenomenal experience and we can’t wait to make it a staple for when we make it out!“

“Awesome yummy food with a friendly atmosphere and Great Service“

“Great food and great service“

“A wonderful first time experience at Luna Blu with my sisterfriend Betty on Wednesday, June 29th. Excellent, friendly service by Chrissie and she was kind enough to make suggestions since I am a Vegan. THANK YOU Chrissie. The owner took a moment to come to our table and we expressed our satisfaction and delight with her. Plan to visit again. Smiles from Baltimore.“
