Wow, just wow. Absolutely phenomenal dining experience. Beautiful restaurant. Incredible service but most importantly the food was 100/10. Every single thing we ate was perfection. -prosciutto app is a must! Simple yet perfect. 10/10 -bread with anchovy infused olive oil. Bread was really good but the lemony salty oil was the star. 10/10 -pappardelle. Rich and flavorful 10/10 -angolotti al plin: light and fresh 10/10 -affogato dessert 1000/10 an absolute must. The ice cream is actually perfect and holds up beautifully against the smooth espresso -espresso tonic is very light and yummy - i had one of their vermouth cocktails, the name escapes me but it had a sugar rim. It was perfect Honestly just go here! It truly is THAT good. read more

This seems like a good date spot. Dim lights, nice wallpaper, intimate setting. Overall, I thought it was pricey for what we got so I will file this under a good place for an occasion, but likely won't be coming back unless the pasta portions are bigger. We got - - tonno e fagioli - this ended up being more like a tuna salad than what I was expecting. It was fine but not what I would order at a restaurant - malloreddus - super tasty pasta and you can tell it's well made. I just wish the dish were bigger - agnolotti - same as above - panna cotta - what can I say, I love a panna cotta read more

Came for mom's birthday and overall, some aspects of Barberio Osteria were excellent whereas other parts were just ok. First off, upon walking in, the majority of the tables were open so it was kind of odd to be offered the one right by the bathroom. Why? Then, when the waitresses came over, we began by asking if the bread of warm but instead of realizing it was a question the waitress noted "yes we can warm the bread" which implied we now ordered it. Welp, it's ok. At least it's Acme bread. As for the warming, it was put over the grill which added an interesting char flavor that actually complemented the olive tapenade quite well so secret menu ask I guess? We also added the citrus salad which had arugula, radicchio, pistachio, and a variety of citrus slices including oranges and grapefruit. It was a nice light and bright salad! Next we went with the 40 yolk pasta and the pappardelle. Between the two, the 40 yolk pasta was my favorite. The fresh sage really elevated the Parmesan. The pappardelle was also very good but it didn't have that unexpected pop of flavor. We also added the whole grilled red snapper which was grilled to perfection. The meat was sweet and tender and really tasty! I especially enjoyed it with the green sauce that accompanied it! Unfortunately neither of the desserts on this night spoke to us so we didn't order it. Overall, dinner for 4 came to just under $170. read more

Good Italian food, excellent service, nice interior. We weren't very hungry on the night of our visit so we had an app and a main - a tuna and bean dish, and a pork also paired with delicious beans Both choices were a win and seemed like the menu is very thoughtfully arranged. read more

The food, service, and execution were spot on. They source from local farms and the steak was grilled perfectly!

Romantic, trendy spot on Valencia. I'm surprised at how easy it was to get a Saturday night reservation the day-off, but it was to my benefit -- would definitely come back for dinner with friends before a night out. Great wine list, excellent pastas and the market fish was super filling. My personal favorite was salty, rich mushroom ravioli, but others really liked the red sauce. read more

Barberio Osteria has been on my "want to try" list for a while, so I was excited to see them on the Restaurant Week lineup. My husband and I decided to go and noticed there was plenty of reservation availability online, so we opted to walk in. We were seated right away, although next time I might book ahead since it looked like reservations offered more options (e.g., counter vs. standard seating). No big deal though - it was fun watching the hustle and bustle of the open kitchen (even if it got a little warm near the wood-burning grill). Since there were two of us, we were able to try almost everything on the RW menu (everything except the cappelletti), while also getting glimpses of other dishes being prepped in the kitchen. As a pasta fan, I was especially excited for the pappardelle with bolognese, and it did not disappoint. Everything we tried was delicious -- shoutout to the tonno e fagioli too! Even though it was a busy night, the staff were attentive and quick to respond. I'm looking forward to coming back soon and trying some of their non-RW items! read more

Went to Barberio Osteria the other night to celebrate the end of our honeymoon, and it's definitely an underrated gem ! The location is beautiful, the design of the space is modern yet comfortable, and there is adequate space between the table. Both of our servers were very kind as well. We ordered the anchovies as an appetizer that came with a delicious tomato and pepper accompaniment, a flavor with anchovies that is never had before but really enjoyed. My husband then ordered the papardelle with the bolognese which was insanely delicious. I try not to eat pork but had a small noodle and the flavoring on it by itself was remarkable. He absolutely loved it. I ordered a pasta dish with tomato sauce and summer squash which was perfectly cooked Al-denté and very well spiced. We then finished with the chocolate caramel budino which was a lot more delicate than other budinos I've had, but not too sweet. We truly had a wonderful time. The only thing I will say is that even though we said we were celebrating the end of our honeymoon in the reservation, nothing was really done to agknowledge it, so I might maybe not go for a life event, but the food more than made up for it and I can't wait to go back. read more

Super cute hidden gem! This dark romantic restaurant is tucked away on Valencia, great location to get a dinner before going out in the Mission (we ate here before going to a movie at the Alamo). We had an early reservation so it wasn't super busy. Service was quick and attentive. For 3 people to share, we ordered: - Panzanella di drupace / stone fruit salad (a surprise hit!) - Acciughe / house-cured sardines (it's great it you like sardines) - Doppio / double-stuff pasta (a little too sweet for me personally) - Branzino fish special (great for sharing, and looks impressive!) A cute spot definitely worth a visit for a date night or a friend's dinner! read more

Barberio Osteria @barberiosf 557 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110 Haha! We were totally blown away by the sister restaurant Altovino @altovinosf before, and now we're in the Mission district! We liked Altovino a bit more because that truffle appetizer was just too good, seriously ! For the appetizers, we loved the Prosciutto di Parma--super cool with all those textures, the crispy crackers with the salty ham were awesome! The tuna dish, though, was kinda meh. For the pasta, Strozzapreti was our fave--even the veggie version was packed with flavor from the veggies and creamy vibes. Seems like they switch up the veggie types now and then! The menu now is different from what we had back then. Pappardelle was as tasty as always, and the Agnolotti had this unique pasta texture that stood out. The grilled fish was a bit pricey, and the portion wasn't huge! The Panna Cotta felt like it had a smaller serving compared to the sister spot, kinda sad about that You can save 20% using @inkind App 之前吃過姊妹店 Altovino非常驚艷，這次來mission區～我們喜歡Altovino 多一點，因為前菜松露那道真的太好吃了 前菜喜歡Prosciutto di Parma，有各種口感，脆脆的餅搭配鹹火腿好讚！另外一道鮪魚就比較普通～ 義大利麵最喜歡Strozzapreti ，即使是素的，蔬菜跟奶香味味道很豐富，他們好像會定期更新青菜種類～菜單現在上面的跟我們當初吃的不一樣！Pappardelle一如既往的好吃，Agnolotti 的麵口感很特別 烤魚價格偏高一點，份量不算特別多！Panna Cotta比起姊妹店份量好像比較少 #winnie_date #winnie_sanfrancisco #winnie_eat #infatuation #infatuationsf #sanfran #sf #sanfrancisco #sffoodie #sffood #bayarea #bayareaeats #bayareafoodie #sfbayarea #italian #italianfood #pasta #sfeats #weekend#pannacotta #truffle #appetizer #italianrestaurant #sffoodies #foodspotting #舊金山 #灣區 #海外生活 read more

My colleague from Italy said it was the best Italian he's ever had in SF. We ordered the top three recommended pasta dishes. Intimate and cozy vibes, and making a reservation last minute on Friday was very easy. I forgot what the arancini-like appetizer was called, but it was soo good, creamy and perfectly fried. My favorite pasta dish was the 40-yolk egg pasta with truffle. The pappardelle was great, and I loved the noodle texture of the spinach/olive pasta. We were so full at the end but will definitely come back to try the rest of their pastas. It was a pleasure meeting the owner Saul. Amazing/extensive wine selection. Friendly staff read more

Made a reservation for two on a Thursday night at the chefs counter, arrived a little early and was promptly seated. Restaurant had a few other people but plenty of space. As the night progressed more guest trickled in but plenty of space for walk ins. Drinks: Amalfi Sunset - well balanced and refreshing a little salty, sweet and bitter, nice starter beverage Insalata - solid mixed salad, with Asian pear and pomegranates, lightly dressed which is how I prefer my salads Suppli - very good - comes with two to an order, fried crispy with no greasiness, filled with risotto and cheese, the truffle aioli worked nicely with this, rich but delicious Agnolotti - fantastic, pasta was perfectly cooked with a slight al dente texture, the creamy mushroom filling was liquid almost like a sauce on the inside, the asparagus, onions, peas and brown sauce were a nice compliment Tagliatelle - a miss for me, overly salty, pasta was well cooked but a bit too many flavor component with olives, lamb, preserved lemons, fennel and mint would skip this one Service was excellent, staff is attentive and friendly. Water was refilled throughout our meal, plates were replaced between courses and staff checked in throughout the meal. Overall a solid spot for Italian in SF, nice variety in the menu. Besides the tagliatelle, everything else was outstanding, worth a try. read more

This place was INCREDIBLE, and I mean incredible! After attending an event at Manny's a block away, a friend and I wandered down the street looking for a place to have dinner tonight. My friend is a a long-time, uber-foodie with incredible taste, and he said "let's pop in here." I am not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best meals with impeccable service that I have ever had. It was my first time here, but I'm ready to book my birthday for next year and become a regular! It was truly exquisite. Simply put, their homemade pastas are to die for. It was hard to decide between the 40 yolk linguine, or the butternut ricotta ravioli with hazelnuts, pomegranate seeds, brown butter, and sage. We went for the ravioli, and it was the best I have ever had. We then shared their generously cut pork chop which was out of this world and cooked to absolute perfection. We polished everything off with an affogato al caffe dessert which hit the spot and was superb. The food in and of itself was truly fantastic, and I rarely comment on service to be honest, but the service here was top notch. The wait staff were exceedingly knowledgeable about all the dishes and their recommendations, and they were incredibly attentive. There was never a crumb out of place or a spilled droplet of water that wasn't tended to within the blink of an eye. Again, I tend to focus on the food itself, but I have to say that the service matched their top tier food experience beautifully. So bravo to this incredible restaurant. I know I am carrying on a bit with this review and I promise I don't have any affiliation with or know anyone at this restaurant. They truly deserve all of the accolades out there, and how lucky am I to have stumble across this experience. Ten out of ten all around! PS I just checked out their website for the first time and noticed that the menu they have posted is different from tonight's menu, so it looks like their menus change along the way. I wish I had taken pictures because the presentations were beautiful. read more

Great food, the bolognese and proscuitto are my favorites! Service is nice and amicable. Decor is pretty and modern. Definitely come and enjoy their pastas! The hanger steak was very tender as well. The manager always very warm and welcoming. Checked in on us as well. read more

Barberio Osteria - Italian Near Me - San Francisco, California

I think this place has reoriented my baseline for five star reviews. The quality of the food, dark and moody ambience, and immaculate service made this a dining experience that I would like to repeat over and over again. Is it traditional Italian? No, but you don't come here for that. You come for the innovation and creativity! Not one dish disappointed. Every dish was at least one person's favorite at our table. For the antipasti, we ordered the Acciughe (anchovies) and the Sformatino (honey nut squash custard). The savory-sour hit of the Acciughe was an explosion of flavor while the Sformatino brought a delectable creamy experience. For the primi, we ordered the Tajarin al Burro e Salvia, Malloreddus, and Pappardelle. My god, the Tajarin al Burro e Salvia was simple but RICH and my favorite pasta of the night, a mix of a very eggy thin noodle, melted better, sage and cheese. The Malloreddus made for lively discussion at our table, a saffron pasta dish with sausage and a crunch(!). The Pappardelle was the most classic dish of the night and well executed with premium meats. For dolci, we shared a Budino. It's described as a chocolate hazelnut pudding, but I would liken it more to a cross between custard and flan. It was rich, creamy and NOT TOO SWEET! Finally, our server Emmelle was a standout. She was attentive and patient and did a great job walking us through the menu. I'm itching for my next visit here. Make sure you drop by too! read more

Tried Barberio Osteria recently. The pasta was pretty decent, no complaints there. But the appetizers were kind of underwhelming. The anchovy dip with veggies didn't really work for me. The paste was too liquid, so it didn't stick to anything, which made it kind of annoying to eat. I get that it's meant to be creative, but it just didn't land. Wine selection was good though, and the place itself has a nice vibe, amaazing service too. I'd give it a 7 overall. Might go back if they change up the menu a bit. read more

So happy for a yummy and well decorated Italian restaurant conveniently in the Mission! Barberio Osteria has amazing pasta and the most wonderful service. We came on a friday night (without reservation) and were seated right away. The restaurant itself is very spacious, pretty dark (so excellent for date nights?), mansion-feel, there is a large section in the back and in the front as well, and plenty of bar seating. For our first visit, we came for pasta and were very pleased. The menu seems to be updated with the latest seasonal offerings which is so exciting because this means, we'll get to try new things every time we visit :) We ordered these pastas and highly recommend: - Cappelletti (filled with autumn squash, mascarpone, parm, and serviced with brown butter, sage, toasted hazelnuts, pomegranates, and saba. If you take a look at my picture you'll see how beautiful each cappelletti is (they are a little bit bigger than a tortellini and have thicker dough, reminded me a little bit of wontons but with ticker dough). LOVED it, we wanted more. It was rich but not overwhelming, every bite left us wanting more! - Maccheroni alla chitarra (guinea fowl ragu, fennel, red onion, chili, porcini, tomatoes, roaster sweet peppers, capers, olives, parm). This was divine. The pasta was like thick spaghetti, and the ragu itself was well-balanced with all the other ingredients in the dish and every mouth was a little bit of a flavor and texture bomb For our first visit, we didn't make it to secondi but you bet we'll be back! We wrapped up our wonderful dinner with a strawberry sorbetto and you get two lil scoops of the most fresh and fruit-foward sorbetto you can find around town *CHEF's KISS* overall read more

We tried Barberio because my favorite Italian restaurant, Cotogna, was closed on Mondays. Spoiler alert-- Barberio is a top contender for my favorite Italian restaurant now. Our meal there was the best one we've had in SF in YEARS (of any genre/cuisine). Prosciutto was hand sliced, thin and sweet, paired with perfectly fried and seasoned gnocchi fritto. Poached tuna with gigante beans were delicious. The hangar steak was cooked perfectly. Tender and infused with almond wood smoke from their live fire grill. It was a erved with wood grilled radicchio and a mixed mushroom cream sauce. 40-yolk tajarin pasta with sage butter had a wonderful aroma, though it was a little heavy on the cheese that overpowered the noodles. The fresh noodles were also a little thinner than what we usually see. Agnolotti del plin was a little thick on the edges. Filled with truffle and mushrooms, the generous portion size seemed to be double what we've had at other places. Buttermilk orange flower water panna cotta was beautifully plated with flowers, pistachios and pomegranate seeds Gonzalo the server was fantastic--welcoming and professional without hovering. Manager/owner Saul was also warm and professional. We'll be back! read more

Service: From the moment we got inside, everyone was so kind and welcoming. Our waitress, Emma, was very attentive the entire time, making sure our waters were always filled as well. Food: we ordered the insalatina, pappardelle, the branzino daily fish, and affogato & panna cotta for dessert. Everything was coursed out perfectly and the food was cooked well! The insalatina was fresh and had a good balance with the strawberries. The papperdelle was chefs kiss -- perfectly cooked pasta with a good portion of meat. The branzino wasn't seasoned too much itself but came with a lot of pairings like salsa verde, chilis, lemon, salad, and olives to season how you like. The affogato and panna cotta were just a perfect dessert to end the night. Ambiance: elevated Italian. Can be a nice date night or semi casual catch up with friends as well! Overall, would come again! read more

4.5 STARS As we were savoring the food at Barberio Osterio, waves of pleasure rolled through my body while I tried to hold in my creepy, euphoric Mark Wiens face. And, then one lady's raucous laughing shook the dining room and cut that 'gasm real short. Whomp whomp. As with any new hip resto, Barberio Osterio is very lively so it may be it's best to dine right they open on a weeknight or during lunch to have a more enjoyable experience. We had 5:30 pm rezzies on a Friday, and by 6:30 pm...the noise level was too much and we couldn't hold a convo. Opening mid-September, Barberio Osterio is already the "IT" spot on Valencia. And, for good reason because the food is remarkable. So, def make those rezzies on Resy esp on the weekends. They're open for indoor dining only. M E N U Regional Italian Cuisine using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Pastas are homemade. Wine (all iItalian) and low abv cocktails (vermouth, sake, etc) only. No full bar but there's plenty of bars within walking distance: Blondie's, Dalva, Mother, ABV, The Valencia Room, etc. 6% SF health mandate added to bill. F O O D * Complimentary Bread w/ olive dipping oil: https://tinyurl.com/52rv5jvk Fresh crusty country bread served with a briny, fruity olive oil dip. * Sacchetti: Pasta parcels w/ slow roasted stemple creek lamb, pecorino romano & rosemary, zucchini & pecorino fonduta, peperonata, shaved summer squash, herbs ($26): https://tinyurl.com/29wb4mut Don't let this "healthy" looking pasta fool you...it's filling, deliciously satisfying, and well-balanced in flavors. Al-dente chewy pasta parcels generously filled with savory, meltingly tender shredded lamb with a creamy cheese sauce and tangy peppers for a bite. One of the best pasta dishes I've had to date. We used the extra bread to sop up every. last. drop. of sauce. GET THIS! * Papparadelle: 10-hour bolognese-rossotti ranch veal, schmitz ranch dry aged beef, stemple creek pork, prosciutto di san daniele, soffritto, baby spinach, parmigiano-reggiano ($25): https://tinyurl.com/ycxubfve A signature dish at their sister resto, AltoVino, this was our least fav dish of the night. There just wasn't enough bolognese to coat the long, wide sheets of papparadelle so it tasted on the plain, drier side. * Pesce al Sale: Black cod roasted under salt & herb crust, roasted summer squash, frittella di zucchine, cherry tomatoes, capers, castelvetrano olives, young onion, soft herbs, cherry tomato passato ($39): https://tinyurl.com/yvumnudb Carved and plated tableside: https://tinyurl.com/yjr4rcsc, the pesce al sale is NOT to be missed. If you know me, I prefer raw fish and I loathe olives...yet I found myself going back for more...and more. The black cod was silky, moist, and effortlessly flaked off with the brush of our forks. The accompaniments added freshness and texture...those crispy zucchini fritter tho...so good. The bursts of salty umami from the ikura completed this dish. GET THIS TOO! * Zabaglionep: Nectarine zabaglione, citrus granita, macerated berries & stone fruit ($12): https://tinyurl.com/p6mutzk9 To end this awesome dinner, we wanted something light and healthy...and the zabalionep delivered. Fresh, ripen strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, nectarines with refreshing granita and mint paired with an airy nectarine infused cream. S E R V I C E Welcoming, gracious, and attentive service. Everyone from the manager, server, food runner, and bussers were so kind. Food service was prompt and courses were well-paced. A M B I A N C E Rustic modern charm with an open kitchen. Good for solo dining at the bar or date night. P A R K I N G Very challenging street parking (avoid driving through Valencia). There's a parking garage in back, at Hoff and 16th (Wells Fargo alley). Overall, in a city that excels in both old and new skool Italian food, Barberio Osterio stands out for their upscale Italian fare that pays homage to the classics while adding a modern flair. Mmmm, still thinking about the sacchetti and pesce al sale. Def a great addition to The Mission's food scene! read more

The brilliant team from the beloved AltoVino restaurant on Nob Hill have expanded their magic to the Mission! We tried many plates from the menu & the kitchen executed them all with flair & precision. Fresh and seasonal Italian food (with a modern twist), whole wood grilled seafood, handmade pasta, dishes created from locally sourced ingredients paired with an expansive wine list is the concept & it works. We tried most of the appetizers but the Smokey N'duja pate with pickled onions, assorted peppers & grilled bread was my favorite. The whole grilled mackerel accompanied by a crisp, zingy, herb & fennel salad, buttery castelvetrano olives & a bright, herbaceous olive oil rich salsa verde was the star of the night! The braised lamb filled sachetti were tender pasta parcels served with a light zucchini fondue...I loved the velvety rich textures & bright individual flavors that brought together this earthy but elegant dish. The salt cod & potato filled pasta with fresh clams were my favorite. This plate was stunning in its beauty & relied on all natural components that made this dish pop! Desserts are simple & light, all made in house. There are so many new plates to try & the staff will welcome you so warmly, you will never want to leave this pristine, professional & lively new space that is much needed in the community. read more

Stumbled upon this new restaurant bc we were craving Italian food. Overall would recommend and would come back! Upscale modern chic type of ambiance.

Our 6-top of world travelers/eaters was very impressed! We shared several appetizers, pastas and 2 whole fish. Every dish was a hit! The whole fish were cooked perfectly - a notable feat on its own. Wine list combined reliable favorites (prosecco, Lambrusco) but also broadened our horizon with lesser known delights from Italy. Bottle list had good range from weeknight dinner to special event. The space is lovely - a blend of traditional with a splash of modern, great ambiance and we were delighted to find them showcasing local painter Robert Perkins. We're excited to see this locally owned new find on our map! read more

Extremely limited vegetarian options on Valentine's Day.

Had dinner here with a friend in July 2025. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. The bufalo mozzarella with sliced tomatoes, basil and balsamic vinegar was perfect. Fresh tangy bread and delicious butter and olive oil for the bread. Best most flavorful tomatoes I've had this summer. The server found where they bought them so I could buy them. The pasta dishes were delicious and the white wine selection the server recommended was a perfect fit for our entrees. The dessert we shared (chocolate confection) had the perfect balance of sweet and stronger chocolate flavor. We had a miss with off flavors with the 1st pasta "special" we ordered but they replaced it no problem with another selection. We had a back table with low level of noise and the background music was at just the right level! 5 STARS! read more

My high expectations for Barberio Osteria, with the several attestations to authenticity/provenance of this Italian food, were matched by their high prices, yet only by 60% of their food quality (60% great - 40% not so). The place itself is cavernous, and I spotted two couples with lightly complaining babies, which is what babies can be, yet it wasn't a problem because of the size, and it was a warm family touch. The 10 hour Bolognese Papardelle was very tasty, so that's 40% of the food, and so was the Beet Salad which was the other 20% (though, a small-ish portion). What was actually unpalatable was the Tajarin al Burro e Salvia, the person who ordered it said their tummy hurt, and then I ate it and shucks, same symptoms, so maybe some ingredient was having an off-night. The service did not match their prices though the host was very pleasant, but our server said hello and then was very busy bustling in the front (there were like 5 tables only) and so ordering took way too long and afterwards, the not-our-server was very kind in stepping in and clearing plates and getting us dessert menus. For $100 including 15% tip and tax for 2 people with just a (pretty flat, I have to say) $9 bottle of sparkling water, I expected better. Pastas $27-$29, salads $17-$19, desserts $15-$19, wine $17. read more

Exactly what I was looking for when I wanted Italian for Sunday lunch. We ordered the prosciutto appetizer, strozzapreti, and pappardelle. Everything was delicious; the pastas were cooked perfectly and their respective sauces were flavorful. We also ordered the espresso gelato which was a great ending to the meal. Service was friendly.

One of my favorite new Cal-Italian restaurants around. Chef Nick is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and opened Altovino about 6 years ago. It's been crushing it, and I was excited to see this new restaurant open up closer to where I live since Altovino is far away. The service was amazing, all of the wine is Italian and carefully sourced, and the pastas were really special. I'd really strongly recommend the pappardelle bolognese and the agnolotti - both was so flavorful and cooked perfectly al dente. For dessert, the affogato had the perfect creamy texture and the coffee is a nice pick me up after giant plates of pasta (portions are not tiny!) read more
