The Tuscan-infused menu is meant to pair with an assortment of wines, with samplings from Italy and California. In the spirit of the Tuscan Trattoria, everything is meant to be authentic – the pasta boiler and the pizza oven came direct from Italy, brought here to guarantee a perfect plate of “al dente” pasta and a perfect slice of thin crust pizza.

Great little restaurant in North Beach. We had the meatballs and the special which was osso bucco and it was delish! The wines they offer are great value as well. We will be back the next time we are in San Francisco.

The service was great and most of the food was very good. Salmon and crab cakes, fettuccini excellent, as were the lobster ravioli. The halibut however was a bit dry and bland this evening. They only serve wine and beer, although they had some quite nice selections there. The dining room is rather small, brightly lit and very simple, almost diner-like. The value was very good for the money. I would likely return.
