   Most of the food and wine were excellent value. This is a traditional, moderate priced restaurant. Service was excellent. I wish there were some tapestries or similar to reduce the very energetic noise level.

   The BEST Italian restaurant in SF! Service is incredible, pasta melts in your mouth, pizza tastes very fresh, wine selection is great, and desserts (especially tiramisu) are delicious. All at reasonable prices in the city! This is our go-to spot

   The food was delicious - I had the Spaghetti al Fogone, and the white wine sauce was perfect with the clams and house-made spaghetti noodles. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming. Our server was busy but SO attentive (kept our wine glasses full) and had helpful/accurate feedback about our menu questions. The chef came out to chat with us as we were outside taking pictures and told us how the apartment above the restaurant was the one in Mrs. Doubtfire. Made the perfect ending to our very lovely dinner. 10/10 would recommend (except for the noise, but that can't be helped in a small space with people enjoying other conversations).

   We had a great time and great food here. We ordered the best salmon and the sausage pasta was extraordinary. The service was top notch and personal. It was like we were welcomed into their home. Top of our list of restaurants in SF. We will definitely come back.

   da Scene: Just a little up Green St. you'll find a newer spot: food with heart and wine with legs @ Bocconcino. Smart and stylish interior, surrounded by warm light wood, with a mix of contemporary and old school Italian beats playing softly so you can chat. da Grub: we were asked if this was our 1st visit and if we were in the mood for something different... of course! Out comes thinly sliced beef tongue with some herbs piped on top, not slathered; just enough to complement the tongue. Could've had another plate of that, but since off menu, didn't wanna push our luck! Next up was grilled artichoke in balsamic, didn't see that on the menu either, gotta love summer. Polipo was charred perfection, smokey with a zesty sauce drizzled. Then the Gnocchi in gorgonzola... easily top 3 ever had, the sauce was somehow rich but light and the pillows of potato just disappeared on your mouth. I love gnocchi in pesto, and was tempted to ask for it, but was glad I kept my trap shut! Secondi was a braised pork rib atop the Risotto del Giorno; today was savory and tomato based, not a creamy/cheesy type (sorry forgot to snap a pic!). No fork needed, a spoon was given confidently and correctly used to gently pull meat from bone and sop up the well-rounded red sauce and rice. Many wines by the glass were offered and paired, happy for the suggestions. Finished with a couple of espresso, they know how to use the 3k machine, thank goodness. da Service: Felt like family friends over for dinner as we sat next to the bar, the guy behind it (thought initially was the manager) struck up a conversation as we pondered the menu. Rosario asked if we would like to try some specials... I learned to be adventurous, and when opportunities present themselves, be ready to pounce. We were well rewarded and later found out he is the chef/owner. Just an excellent experience from seating to invoice, folks that felt more like friends than servers. Can't wait to bring my girls, Aloha & Buona Cera!

    I live in Marin, and realized that I have to go to SF for excellent Italian Food. Seafood Ravioli was delicious, Caesar salad dressing spectacular, prawns wrapped in petrale sole, fantastic. We will be back!
