    Maybe it was an off day for them but we disliked our meal. We actually stopped by this place on accident because the restaurant we wanted to go to was closed. My pasta dish was chewy. Not cooked properly and the dessert was horrible. They dorn have fresh lemonade. It's the San pellegrino from a can that they charge a lot for. My coworker had dessert too and a glass of wine and just was complaining about the panna cottage having no flavor. Our waiter may be the owner. He is super friendly with the regulars, but kind of cold with us. Didn't offer us a box, not that we would want one because it wasn't good. Had to chase him down for the check, and the water was lukewarm. Won't be back.

    Wish this place is close to my home. Such a charming place. Very small place but food is excellent. Not many choices but everything is delicious. Highly recommended.

    I really wanted to like this place because of the raving reviews, but my pasta was really overcooked and tasted like a microwavable pasta. I got the amatriciana and would highly not recommend. The service was very backed up as well and I had to ask to order, get the check (twice). I could've looked past the service, but the food was disappointing for $24 with a small portion.

    I've only been to Italy once and I've been thinking about how godlike the food is ever since. And eating here, literally, flooded my brain of memories that I've been chasing for. The food is very rich in authenticity and crafted with such care. I recommend the fried zucchini antipasta (appetizer). So good, and it comes with sweet red bell peppers with like cheese inside it. Oh my lanta. Y'all might get triggered about the wait for the food but depending what you want takes time to make. So wait because it's worth it. The vibe at least we went was low key. My wife and I love going to Bella Trattoria, but we now found another Italian spot where the vibe is more calm. It's like a quiet coffee shop vibe where you go to have a nice glass of wine and eat good pasta after a long hard day/week at work. I got the vodka cheese pasta I forgot the name and puttin disrespect on the name but it wen very well with the red wine, I think the Lincongiello. Something like that. Will definitely be back.

    Cesar salad

    This place feels a little bit like a Twilight Zone. Just something about the service and the menus was a little off. We did get a great table right by the window. We received 2 menus that had about 85% overlap of VERY similar dishes. When we asked about it - the guy wasn't very clear, but kinda said the one menu was a newer version and we could order off the new one - OR the old one (which had a few extra dishes) - That they were kinda working on fixing and creating an even newer menu to include everything. But even so, the entrees on both that kinda sounded the same didn't have the same description (leaving out important facts, like a beet flavored pasta on one for instance). It took a bit to get the real story from the server...just weird, give me one menu with everything offered (and maybe an extra with only specials) We ordered the Cesar salad to split - it came in a bowl, but he gave us TEENY little bread plates to each get out halves on there. WAY too small a plate - it was small for a bread plate. Anyway the salad was okay - a but under-dressed. My man and I each got a pasta, I got the one with the prosciutto and he got the one with the tellegio cheese. We each had bites of each others, and you know what was the best? It was mixing a bite of each together. I tell you this too - the service was S-L-O-W. I didn't mind it one bit, but if you like to "giddy-up" with ordering and being served, this is NOT the place to go. I am happy I tried this place, but prefer a place like Jackson Fillmore for my local neighborhood pasta needs.

    The food is delicious and so fresh. I got the gnocchi and the burrata & prosciutto appetizer. The space is very small and intimate; but don't worry, it's not overly hot. It can be a little claustrophobic initially. Our dishes took a long time to get to the table but it is worth the wait.

They made recommendations that were exactly what we were looking for (crisp white wine, not too dry and a good red). Our favorite part was that Happy Hour is 25% off everything! We scored a bottle of Nergomaro wine for $45, which was a steal. We sat on the patio, staying toasty under the heated canopy while we enjoyed the sights and sounds of Cole Valley. TLDR: great wine, wonderful Happy Hour, and lovely staff.

    Overall a 3.5 star but going to round down bc the wait was exorbitant and very mis-quoted and the…read moreservice was super sub par. Came here the other night for dinner. We were told 10/15 minutes for a table. Took 50 minutes - nearly an hour! We totally should have gone somewhere else but alas we eventually were seated. I got pasta and also and some of the pinsa (Roman style pizza). Also had the meatballs. Everything was just so so. The pizza almost tasted stale - someone mentioned it is supposed to be like that but I've had pinsa a few times and that was not my experience. The pasta was pretty good - a red sauce. Nothing special. Meatballs also solid. Somehow my pasta came up 12-15 mins after everything else's food which was entirely confusing but oh well. The wine was good. Overall a cute little wine bar in CV, would def come back but nothing to write home about.

    Mother's day brunch (be prepared for a wait to be seated!)…read more Eggs Benedict (2) - Albert and Divorce' - I had the Albert and wife and sister had divorce. The hollandaise was perfect and the bacon was thick cooked to perfection (wish I ordered side as well) Scramble - (Dad) - Fontainbleau - Mushrooms were excellent and the amount of spinach and cheese was perfect to balance OG French Toast - (Mom and kids)Toasty on the outside chewy and soft on the inside, butter was fresh and perfect to taste , excellent syrup as well. Smoked Salmon Sandwich -(Teenager) It was larger than she expected somehow, she normally finishes everything, she also had a lot of capers which she doesn't like too much of, so that I am sure threw her off. On the flip side if you like a good portion of salmon and capers you won't have any issues here Side of Chicken Apple Sausage- I wish it was smokier and less sweet Bloody Mary - The best bloody mary I've had on a brunch that I can remember, I would drink one rn, lol Mango Juice and Orange Juice - Odwalla - so yum! Excellent service, perfect meal, I will be back :) Thank you for a memorable meal Zazie

    It was okay overall, but nothing particularly special. Unfortunately, I found a hair in my food,…read morebut the staff handled it quickly and replaced the dish without any issues, which I appreciated. We came for brunch, and the food was decent. One thing to note: if you'd like to add an extra egg to your meal, it's surprisingly expensive--almost $10 for a single egg. I understand that gratuity is already included in the pricing, but $10 per egg still felt a bit excessive. The service was a little slow, but we weren't in a hurry, so it didn't really affect our experience. The restaurant itself was reasonably clean, although the bathroom could use a bit more attention. Overall, it was an acceptable experience, but not somewhere that particularly stood out to me.
