    Atmosphere, antipasti, pasta (primi) are amazing! Tiramisu is just OK, wine far too expensive (cocktails instead). Excellent service too!

    Very tasty! Everything! Appetizers, pizza, trout and desserts! One of the best Italian restaurants in SF 😍

    The bolognese pasta! Tastefully done and perfectly cooked. As well and the fried frog legs.

    This is the place! Great service, you can always sit down if you wait a few minutes, and the food is absolutely amazing.

    The zucca tortelli are divine. And get some house bread with butter to start.

    Truly rustic Italian food from a 2011 James Beard awarded chef, this place has my heart. Like Delfina, Cotogna makes delicious simple pastas and pizzas.

    Fichi with ricotta and honey, and Strozzapreti "cacio e pepe": the perfect dinner at this lovely Italian place!

    Must try the Farm egg raviolo with brown butter, ricotta cheese on crostini with honey from the beehives on their rooftop, the smoked salmon pizza, the flank steak and the donuts. Excellent!

    The taglierini with dungeness crab & squash blossoms was out of this world! Great ambience and service, too.

    When it's chilly out, sit at the bar and enjoy the oven fire.

    Wife says it was the best pesto pasta she's ever had. Excellent service! A little cramped for space, but worth it.

    The filled pasta I had was unusual and incredibly tasty. But there was so little of it, it was gone in a breath. Incredible flavour. Poor value. But: I didn't feel stuffed or over-full either.

    They personalize your menu AND your dessert if you come for your birthday. Call in advance, or reserve online.

    You really can't go wrong with this menu but if you do, the arborio rice pudding with pistachio and dried cherry will save the day at the end. Amazing. Come here.

    Liked the agnolotti better than the tagliatelle. Tremante cocktail was pretty good. Wine list was ridiculously overpriced for what was on offer

    Amazing, fresh pasta. Lovely service. Solid veg options. Great truffle tagliolini!

    The gnocchi and raviolo are amazing! The asparagus and egg was pretty good. But the lamb carne dish wasn’t that great.

    Best pasta in San Francisco. Yes it's better than Flour+Water.

    One of the best restaurants ever. There's a reason why it's so hard to get a table here. Get one of the pastas, a bottle of wine and enjoy :)

    One of my faves! Ordering tips: 1) The simpler the better, they are wonderful at simple. 2) Best dishes are veg, seafood, meat -- in that order.

    Try the Raviollo Di Coda - The runny egg and brown butter was delish. Ask for bread to soak up the sauce!

    Cheaper than Quince, but similar in quality. Great for lunch! Awesome casual Italian food. I'd definitely return.
