    We had a friend’s birthday dinner here and it was the perfect place. Restaurant gave her a birthday card as she sat down and made her feel special all night. Food was fantastic- great pacing of service and friendly staff throughout. Will definitely come back here again.

    Food was a let down. Expected much better from an Italian restaurant in sf where this is a lot of competition already

    Was hoping it would be amazing, but it just wasn’t. Had a great table, and while the service was good, it was a bit overbearing. Too much chit chat and excessively long food descriptions. Cocktails were all good! Pizza was ok, but lacked seasoning. The chicken liver had great flavor but was served on overly oily toasted bread. The risotto special wasn’t so special, especially at $48! Clumps of rice and again, lack of seasoning. Fish was the best dish of the evening.

    It was my birthday. Me and my five girlfriends had a table they wanted to seat us at running a bit late. I think the manager was letting us know that we would be seated soon. It was about 30 minutes over our reservation time when we were seated. Luckily we found seats that opened up at the bar because they have a no standing at the bar policy while you wait for your table. Hostess was sweet Server was great Food was excellent, especially the lemon pasta and my birthday dessert! I cannot wait to come back again!

    Very beautiful restaurant and atmosphere! Also, very friendly and attentive staff with quick food turnaround. Only setback was that the dishes lacked flavor (we had the Arancini, Squash fritto and Yukon gold pizza). Would come back for drinks!

    We visited La Connessa to celebrate a birthday and was blown away by the service from the door to the table. the hostess greeted us with a smile and allowed us to sit at the bar while we waited for our table. the drinks we ordered were perfect! the staff did their best to help us celebrate with small gestures and phenomenal customer service. our server obviously takes pride in their job as the professionalism was beyond outstanding. would absolutely return as well as recommend to others looking for an unforgettable dining experience. Thank you again to all of the staff at La Connessa for making my lady’s birthday dinner extra special.
