The food always delivers here and so does the service and atmosphere. The texture of the pinsas are delightful- chewy doughy and satisfying- and all of the combinations of toppings are well thought out. Thank you. This turned out to be an amazing spot for a “reunion” with friends we’d not seen for ~ 18 years! Thank you for helping to make it special!

We have always very much enjoyed dining at Ristobar, and last night was no exception. What a beautiful and welcoming place! The service could not have been more friendly and attentive, everybody enjoyed their drinks, and our salads and pastas were deliciously rich with nuanced flavors. We were also very appreciative of the many gluten free options available! This is very important for one of the folks in our party, and we're happy she could enjoy her meal without worry. Ristobar is a perfect choice for a pre-show meal before heading over to the Palace of Fine Arts. We very much look forward to our next visit. Thank you very much!

Overall, a pretty good dinner. Good seasonal menu items. The prosciutto and persimmon salad was great; the pizza was a bit undercooked but still pretty good; blueberry lemon cake was ordinary but good. A bit on the loud side, but it was busy so that’s expected. Great service as always.
