It's a lovely little place, cozy and elegant, and the servers were quick and on the ball. We had lasagna and chicken parmesan with pasta and it was delicious.
When we arrived, the host seemed a little put out that we didn't have a reservation, which felt very awkward and unwelcoming, but they seated us anyway. There were several empty tables, even with a few being reserved, so I'm not sure why we were received like that, but the meal was delicious anyway. Moral is, they want you to have reservations apparently.

We visited here for lunch with few friends. We were able to secure table without reservation. We ordered several items like Tuscan chicken, panini, pasta, salad soup etc. there is a large selection of drinks on the menu. Food was very tasty. Service was pretty good.

Authentic Italian gem in union square. We had our thanksgiving dinner here and it was a cozy and charming atmosphere. The food was excellent, bruschetta, veal saltimbocca, linguine carbonara and lemoncello cake and tiramisu for dessert. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. Would visit again if only I lived there.

We had a wonderful dinner a few moments ago. Our Uber driver recommended the location in the afternoon and he was absolutely right. There are only a few tables, the ambience is great. The service is superb, the staff is very attentive. Our waitress Lara did a great job - thanks a lot. Don‘t want to forget the food - it‘s delicious. We had a starter, main course and dessert - it was perfect.

Very authentic and wonderful Italian meal served to us by a very polite and we'll trained waiter. Atmosphere felt like stepping into little Italy. The food was fantastic, you can tell the sauce is made from scratch.

This is a quaint, little spot downtown. Didn’t have a reservation on a Friday night and the older gentleman told us when to come back. He was absolutely lovely, there’s probably 12-15 tables max, easy to see how the wait can be long at times. The service was impeccable, the other reviews had a different experience or expectations, yet for a nice dinner out for 2 we had a great time. Lobster ravioli, Parmesan bread app and calamari very tasty.

We love Italian food especially spaghetti carbonara and I must this was probably the best spaghetti carbonara I’ve ever had! Granted I got it without peas (I despise peas) so I didn’t technically get it exactly how it should be prepared. I don’t think I’ll ever try anything else there again because of how amazing this dish was!! Do yourself a favor and go if you are on the fence. 10/10!!!

I had the turkey panini and the lobster ravioli and both were delicious. The bruschetta was a miss, the bread was hard & cold. You can get better quality in Little Italy at a better price. The service was great, very welcoming. I’ll definitely be back. Edit 3/31/23 I’ve tried the Appetizers: calamari, the crab cakes & the garlic bread. The garlic bread was the best of the 3 and I wouldn’t order the other 2 again. Dinner: I also tried the dinner portion of the lobster ravioli & for some reason it comes with 2 shrimp instead of lobster. The lunch portion is cheaper and about the same size. I think a squeeze of lemon makes it better, your choice. I also tried the chicken basil I w/penne pasta & the portion size was big enough for two meals so totally worth the price @ $24. The chicken parm is straight up nasty and underwhelming. Desert: Frutta di Bosco was lacking flavor & not worth the price. Ask for the table bread to be heated because it’s not as good cold. If going for dinner check to see if you need reservations. Dinner menu doesn’t include panini’s & check prices for lunch/dinner as they are slightly different.

Good value for money in the centre of San Francisco.
I ordered the lobster ravioli and my friend the caprese salad. Regular pasta dishes like penne looked good from other tables and the portions are bigger than the raviolis I ordered.
We had wine by the glass and it was ok.
