DonaldAugust 2, 2013A really nice romantic restaurant. At night they show classic films on a huge screen on the wall. Plus, the Food taste great. In fact I recommend the veal tortellini with Alfredo sauce.
Kerry HassenSeptember 8, 2014Pizza was yummy and a couple of slices more than and individual (at least for a girl). Staff was friendly and prompt and the house wine was a good recommendation.
maldar OTMOctober 15, 2013Came with a group of 8 and shared the eggplant vegetarian Main course dish with my mom and we left some of the spaghetti on the plate. Everyone seemed happy, even the Italians.
Cat CatSeptember 1, 2013Wonderful restaurant and atmosphere! Tony, the owner is a doll. Ask him about skydiving. Raymondo (sp?) is an amazing server. Get the Lasagne and let him select your wine!
Thomas MarksMarch 25, 2011Came to a birthday party for a good friend. Everything our table of 15 ordered was very good and the service was amazing! Highlights - Gnocci agli Spinaci, Osso Bucco and Pasta Vongole.
I've never had a bad item on the menu here. Tony and Maurizio and the rest of the staff really do create the most homey atmosphere in North Beach.
AppeteasersUSAMay 30, 2012Tony and Maurizo make you feel at home here. Truly authentic italian dining. Everything is delicious especially the Meatballs.
Nathan BeardmoreOctober 21, 2014Food is excellent, but they're misleading with drinks - they'll tempt you in with the promise of $4 cocktails, but then charge full price
Alix BloodworthJuly 7, 2012Amazing tiramisu and coffee. Loved sitting outside and people watching. Staff was so friendly.
Brent ManuelApril 3, 2011Absolutely my most favorite Italian restaurant in north beach. The spinach gnocchi is fresh daily and amazing. Highly recommend.
Ryan AngellApril 10, 2011House red is great. Food is amazing. Antonio, the owner is extremely nice. If you're in North Beach looking for food your search is over :)
Vincent TangMay 7, 2012Agreed. My friend had the house red; good stuff. Try sitting outside on a nice day.
Jenny A.August 18, 2014My homemade linguine with mushroom was way past al dente, very disappointed in this mushy dish.
Jennifer MaioMay 29, 2011Service wasn't slow at all! Can order from the lunch menu until 4 even on the weekends. Tiramisu was delicious!
David BlakerOctober 14, 2013Wouldn't go again. Food was actually quite good, but service is absolutely awful. They obviously like to treat it as a tourist destination - all one and dones, no repeat customers.
Naw MoneyOctober 14, 2013Hostess is cracked out. Service was very slow. Food was so-so. Very "meh".....
