    With my holiday bonus, I wanted to treat my partner out to a new spot for date night. He actually works at UCSF down the road and he has been eyeing this restaurant for a while. The place is gorgeous, parking is easy to find, and the ambience is striking. The menu has enough options but not too much that it makes choosing an item a hassle. The extensive wine list was appreciated since my partner loves wine. They didn’t have the red wine that we chose, but the sommelier helped choose a similar one. In terms of the food, the pasta dishes were excellent, as well as the squid appetizer. The liver mousse was the best I’ve had in the city. The arancini could have been served a bit hotter since it was a bit cold, but the crunch and filling was excellent. The service staff was very attentive. Please don’t get me wrong, I would rather have attentive staff over staff that forgets that you’re even there. But pouring wine, refilling water, and asking how things are constantly was a little too much. One sip of water, and you have someone refilling it right away. It just cut the flow of conversation on an intimate date night to the point of forgetting what we were talking about because we would pause and thank the waiters every time. Maybe checking in once in a while or waiting until our wine or water cups are depleted before coming back to the table would be appreciated.

    We came here to celebrate my friends bday. We had a variety of items from their appetizers with the focaccia flat bread to their burrata, to their pastas, and 2 entree items of their black cod and their chicken. Everything was really good but we felt that it was a little salty. Service was excellent!

    Pizza is especially excellent but everything we had was delicious. We ate at the bar, where the bartenders are talented and very attentive. Thank you, Igor! Pasta was a little too al dente but they replaced it quickly with a properly cooked serving that was on the house. A wonderful overall experience. Beautiful space…a much-needed addition to the neighborhood. We appreciated the service orientation of everyone and will be back soon. Grazie!

    This was our second time dining here. The service was attentive both times. Like last time, there was a timing problem with delivery of cocktails and first courses. We are people that like to enjoy our cocktail for awhile before food arrives, and that was not the case either time. I ordered the lemon pasta dish again and found it to be just okay. My husband and son both enjoyed their chicken entrees. With the exception of the burrata appetizer, all the starters were good. We found the burrata itself to lack flavor, though the beet and citrus in the salad were good. The desserts were very good.

    It’s been three days since our visit, and we can’t stop talking about our experience! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the beauty of the restaurant and the stunning bar. We were warmly greeted by the friendly staff, who offered excellent recommendations. We were a party of five and wanted to sample a variety of dishes to share. We ordered the delicata squash, which was absolutely delicious, and the sticky bun, which struck the perfect balance without being overly sweet—loved the pistachio touch! We also tried the frittata and the bolognese margherita pizza, and I must say, the dough was fantastic. Alongside some refreshing non-alcoholic cocktails, a mimosa, and a Blanton’s old fashioned, the portions were generous, and we savored every single bite. Throughout our dining experience, the staff made us feel right at home. Esther truly went above and beyond to ensure we had an exceptional time, and that made all the difference. It felt like the entire team was there just for us. My sister wanted to surprise us with the gender reveal of her baby, and they graciously offered us a private room for this special moment. It was so intimate and turned out even better than we could have planned. The whole restaurant cheered for us, sending good vibes and warm wishes. We didn’t want to leave! We even ordered cappuccinos afterwards, which were delicious as well. I want to highlight the outstanding service, the quality of the food, and the warmth of the people. Thank you! You all created a core memory filled with amazing food and love.

    Dishes were not tasty. Many dishes were underseasoned. Pasta overcooked, which feels like one of the most basic things an Italian restaurant should nail. It was also really expensive for mediocre food. Won’t be returning as there are so many great Italian places in SF.
