Located in the heart of downtown South San Francisco owner John Akkaya and Executive Chef, Angelo bring together a taste of Italy with a Mediterranean twist. Akkaya has been in the restaurant world for over 30 years with two additional Bay Area restaurants, Cafe Figaro in Burlingame and Don Giovanni in Mountain View. As he says himself, Andiamo In Banca is how he is celebrating years of experience in industry by combining the authentic Italian taste with hearty ingredients without losing the cozy experience.

The food was delicious as usual. But it was freezing cold inside, and everybody had their coats on, and one person was even wearing a ski hat. The people that came as our guest kept talking about how cold it was. I know it cost a lot to heat up a place with high ceilings, but it was freezing. We love our waitress. She’s so sweet.
Andiamo In BancaResponded on February 21, 2025
Thank you for your feedback and for your continued support! We’re so glad you enjoyed the food and that your waitress took great care of you. However, we sincerely apologize for the temperature being uncomfortably cold during your visit. We understand that a cozy and comfortable atmosphere is just as important as great food and service. We’ll definitely take this into consideration and look into solutions to keep our guests more comfortable, especially during colder days. We truly appreciate your honest input and hope to provide a warmer and more enjoyable experience next time. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!

We had a reservation but had to stand for 20 minutes before being seated. There was only one server in the entire dining area. She was professional and worked very hard but it made for long waits and no check-ins to see if you need anything. The food was good and plentiful on the plate but nothing extraordinary. If you are looking for a nice place to go for Italian-American cuisine, this is a good place if you are not in a hurry.
Andiamo In BancaResponded on February 21, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the wait time despite having a reservation and for the slower service due to staffing that evening. While we’re glad to hear you found the food enjoyable and portions generous, we understand that the overall experience was not as smooth as it should have been. We truly appreciate your patience and your kind words about our hardworking server. Your input helps us improve, and we’ll be working to ensure better staffing and efficiency, especially during peak times. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future for a more seamless experience. Thank you again for dining with us!

Enjoyed the 3 course lunch special. Seafood was fresh although a little under seasoned. The calamari was fresh could use a bit more salt. The restaurant is high vault ceiling and the seatings are very comfortable.

Beautiful place to have a special celebration, but the food just doesn’t live up to the hype. There is nothing on the menu that is Italian. Andiamo In Banca is not ready for prime time.
