Was there for lunch mid-week and only regret we did not find this little gem much earlier during our trip to San Francisco. If you are staying on Nob Hill, then you really must take a meal here. more

Went here the end of July 2009, before seeing "Wicked." Went here based on the reviews. When we got there around 6pm on a weeknight, they wanted to seat us in the busy section right when you walk in. There were just 2 of us and I asked for another table. They had to break some 4's down and seat... more

We ate here the last week in Aug as it was near our hotel on Nob Hill. Got here around 6pm and were able to get a table. Yes, crowded with local folks but the food was really good. Caprese salad, veal picatta, and chicken parm were all excellent, and the prices were terrific! Definitely recommend this restaurant. more

We came here (because of TA) for a lunch time stop after a long morning in town. The food was solid but it can be made by any other cafe/restaurant. The menu was not that extensive and the uniqueness of a respectable restaurant was lacking. We decided on a salad and a calzone. Both were tasty but have the slightest... more

Ok, we had to do the stand around and wait deal, but you dont mind because the old rule 'if the place is full with locals its gotta be good' applies. The pizza was soo damn good we cant stop talking about it. the pasta on the other and nothing great, if I had eaten only pasta I would have... more

We went here as it was one of the few places near our hotel that did not require mountain-climbing skills either coming or going. Fair prices, friendly service, nicely prepared food. I would not go out of the way to go here but certainly would stop in if in the neighborhood for an enjoyable meal. more

My husband and I were celebrating our 35th anniversary with our children. We went their on the advice of a friend and this website.

We started with bruschetta....only the freshest tomatoes & basil were obviously used. My husband chose the from day's specials board & was so glad he did...Tuttomare: shrimp, calamori, clams in a tomato-based sauce, over linguine! MMMMMMM....good! I chose the Angel Hair Pasta with tomatoes. The house wine rounded out the meal. We left with smiles on our faces & full... more
