    We have been coming to the restaurant since its opening in 1998, me as recently as last October. We felt the kitchen has never been better. We shared anchovies with butter on toast, the spaghetti pomodoro (perfectly executed and still justifying its legend), the pesce del giornio (a 2 pound American snapper) and the insalata di campo (well sourced lettuces and on point dressing). An interesting red from Piemonte. Warm, well informed, attentive service. Still one of our very favorite restaurants anywhere. Will continue to be a highlight of any San Francisco visit. Already anticipating our next meal here.

    Open Table screwed up. When I made the reservation I requested the main dining room, not the very cool outdoor dining area. However, after a long talk with the host, we were seated at a nice indoor table. So, in the end it was a delightful evening. But in the future, I will call the restaurant directly. I never requested an outdoor table for Valentines Day as Open Table indicated

    One of our party has numerous allergies. Our server went out of her way to help her find healthy choices for the guest, including checking with the kitchen to confirm that two pastas were suitable. A wonderful experience, delicious dishes!

    Solid food, with some standouts and some misses. Excellent cocktails. Very efficient, sweet service and reception. Good happy hour menu. Not the "extra mile" we were looking forward to, but we'd definitely go again.
