The pizza was amazing. We tried 2 different pizzas. Visiting from Wisconsin this was exactly what we were looking for. Service was attentive. Had good seating outside available

Food was great and service was great - but why am I being charged a 10% fee before tax and tip. I gave a 22% tip but severely regret that this was charged on top of a 10% service fee for healthcare. Very disappointed and I should have looked at the check more thoroughly.

We stopped there because we heard live music coming in from the inside. Turned out to be one of the friendliest and best places to eat Italian in the area! The staff were very friendly and kind. Thank you Alessandro for sharing your passion!

Great pizza! Last 2 times I was in the area I wanted to eat there but the closed sign is always out. But online says they're open.

It's a total rip off.
First off, I asked for hot water for my parents, and without mentioning anything, they charged us $3 for each cup of hot water! Three dollars for water! It's the first time ever that I saw charges for plain water on a bill.
Pizzas were too salty. It's not the worst pizza I've ever had, but below average for sure.
Then there was a 10% surcharge on the bill. I was surprised and asked what it was. They lied about it being a mandatary tax in Sausalito. I thought it's something new and just paid, only to find out it's a scam they've been running for a long time. If you want to charge more, put it in the menu! Don't ambush people at the end then outright lie about it.
This is a horrible restaurant. Avoid this place at all cost. It's a shame they are allowed to run scams like these in such a beautiful town.

Decent pizza but absolutely overpriced. $25 for a single person pizza plus $8 San Pellegrino water and $6 coffee? No thanks. The place is nice, but I won’t go back at those prices. I live in Italy 3 months a year, and yes, you shouldn’t be comparing prices, but where we live, the same pizza is €6 and a bottle of San Pellegrino is around €1.50
We love Sandrino! It's a special place with amazing people and amazing food. Everything we've had has been top-notch!

Sandrino: Where Sausalito Meets the Soul of Italy Nestled in the heart of Sausalito, Sandrino is more than a restaurant—it’s a sanctuary of flavor, warmth, and Italian authenticity. From the moment you step through its doors, you’re greeted not just by the scent of fresh basil and wood-fired crust, but by the kind presence of Alessandro, the owner whose gracious spirit infuses every corner of the space. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, with soft lighting, rustic textures, and a hum of conversation that feels like a family gathering. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and every detail—from the plating to the playlist—feels lovingly curated. The menu is a masterwork of regional Italian pride. Start with the Bruschetta Tartufo, a decadent blend of porcini and white truffle cream on toasted bread, crowned with burrata and aged prosciutto crudo San Daniele. Or opt for the Mozzarella Speck, where fresh mozzarella is wrapped in speck and paired with oven-baked cherry tomatoes and arugula—an alpine kiss of salt, smoke, and sweetness. Salads here are vibrant and layered. The Tirolese offers toasted seeds and a roasted speck-bread dumpling over organic greens, while the Burrata salad sings with sun-dried tomatoes and basil pesto. Each bite is a celebration of texture and balance. Pizza is the heart of Sandrino’s soul. Alessandro doesn’t do custom pies—and that’s a gift. Each creation is intentional, expressive, and deeply satisfying. The Parmigiana, with double tomato sauce, eggplant, and fresh basil, is a smoky, tangy triumph. The Romeo, topped with 24-month aged prosciutto San Daniele, arugula, and cherry tomatoes, is a poetic blend of savory and fresh. For bold palates, the Fra’Galdino—gorgonzola, onion, and walnuts—delivers a blue-cheese crescendo that lingers with elegance. Desserts are a love letter to tradition. Monika’s House-made Tiramisu is ethereal—light, rich, and kissed with espresso. The Panna Cotta, made with ricotta and layered with pistachio or coffee, is a silky finale that feels like a lullaby. Prices are refreshingly fair, especially given the quality, care, and portion sizes. Sandrino is a place where excellence meets accessibility—a rare and beautiful balance. But what truly sets Sandrino apart is Alessandro. His kindness, humility, and passion for hospitality elevate the experience from great to unforgettable. You’re not just dining—you’re being welcomed into a story, a tradition, a home. Bravo!

Shitty service and explosive diarrhea. Throw in a 10% service fee and drinks that never arrived, after asking kindly twice, and I am certain I will never be back. Could not have had a worse experience, and when I expressed my displeasure not even as much as a shrug let alone an acknowledgment was offered. My partner and I could not be gentler souls and haven't had an experience this bad, well, ever. Oh and she is still on the toilet.
Pizza is really good and staff is friendly
