Tuesday dinner at 5:15pm in September 2026. Went in with no reservation, the hostess provided a couple options since tables do get booked. Weekday happy hour is from 5pm - 6pm, only on beers, shots, and a couple cocktails. Order 2 apps (garlic bread and wings) and 1 entree. If you get the garlic bread, please get it with cheese and sauce. The bread was a bit dry. Wings were pretty good, does have a spicy kick since it is with Calabrian chili oil. Wings were unevenly grilled/charred. The rigatoni bolo bianco pasta was delicious. AL DENTE and giant pasta. It's a tomato less bolognese, big chunks of meat. Couldn't taste the lemon, but the sauce was good. The restaurant is boisterous and eclectic. There's even a photo-booth in the back, so don't forget to take photos like I did. I'll definitely come back for the food and photos next time. read more

Me, my husband, and 2 of our friends came on a Monday for the "Monday is for Lovers" deal - $60 (CASH ONLY) for two appetizers, one entrée, one dessert, and a bottle of wine. Each couple did the deal and it was a perfect amount of food! You really can't find anywhere with this great of a deal - such a bang for your buck. We ordered the spicy caesar, cauliflower arancini, meatballs, and semolina garlic bread with sauce for the appetizers. I think the cauliflower arancini was my favorite out of the 4! It came out so fresh and the parmesan and marinara dips went perfectly with it. SO GOOD! For the main we did the rigatoni bolo bianco and chicken parm. Both were so good - I think the chicken parm might've been my favorite out of the two. The chicken was so flavorful. We ordered the house white for the wine, which went perfectly with our meal. It was light and refreshing. The meal ended with a peaches and creme panna cotta with some bread crumbs on top. SO DELICIOUS! Our waiter was amazing - it was our first time and he pretty much gave us the rundown on what he would get for first timers doing the Monday is for Lovers deal, which we ended up doing just that. He was so attentive and friendly. The ambiance was so cool, it felt like NY vibes in there - I loved it. This will definitely be a spot I'll take friends who are visiting out of town. Overall, I had a great experience! read more

I came here for a friend's birthday dinner, and Emmy's Spaghetti Shack absolutely delivered! We had a group of 22 people, and they were so accommodating from start to finish. They reserved a private covered patio area for us, and it ended up being the perfect space for such a big group. The heated lamps nearby kept everyone comfortable, and we ended up hanging out for about three hours without ever feeling rushed. We decided to do family-style, which was the best way to experience the menu since we got to try a little bit of everything. My favorite was the chicken parmesan--honestly, it was the pasta that won me over. The sauce and pasta were so flavorful, and they paired perfectly with the crispy chicken. I also ordered the rotating boozy slushie, which happened to be a piña colada, and it was refreshing and delicious. Meanwhile, the other table kept ordering the mystery shots, which made the birthday dinner even more fun. The service was excellent, especially with a party of 22. The staff was friendly, attentive, and kept everything running smoothly. The atmosphere was lively, and they even have a cute little photo booth that was a fun touch for our group. The portions are huge, the prices are very reasonable, and the overall experience was great. I'd definitely recommend Emmy's Spaghetti Shack if you're planning a group dinner or celebrating a special occasion! read more

This spot is so fun and really just incredible overall. Recently a few friends and I made reservations ahead of time for a Saturday evening table inside for dinner. The restaurant was full of life, excitement, and impeccable vibes..essentially it checked every box we were looking for. Also ironically, we were seated by a shrine of Dolly Parton (what our bachelorette theme was). The service was amazing and we loved everyone that came to our table to make our party feel so special. Special shoutout to the cocktail menu (my cocktail had a piece of parm on top!), and food-wise we def had a great assortment: prosciutto zeppole, semolina garlic bread, spicy Caesar, shrimp scampi toast, meatballs, and spicy vodka fusilli + stracciatella. We feasted! I believe there is also an outdoor area and late night weekend menu including meatball and chicken parm subs. Sunday brunch is a thing too, just not sure if it's every weekend. All in all, take a ride share, grab a babysitter, and enjoy the surrounding area of the Mission/Bernal Heights. If waiting for a table, pop over to the Royal Cuckoo for their red margarita. For our friend whose name is actually Emmy, she also approved tenfold. Delish and such a breath of fresh air for the Bay Area foodies looking for something uniquely special. read more

Finally, I visited to try their famous Monday for lover's special! $60 cash only for two appetizers, one entree, one dessert, and a whole bottle of wine. Wow what a deal! We were worried at first if it would be enough food, but I felt stuffed afterwards and needed to walk it off. We got an early reservation but the place really filled up as it became prime dinner time. Highly recommend booking ahead of time if you want to come on a Monday. Staff seemed to be quite busy, and we had to get their attention a couple of times. The space is cool and had bar seating, booths, and a back patio area. They have two pin ball machines and a photo booth as well, very fun. For food, our two appetizers were the chicken wings and the caesar salad. Both were spicy, but not that spicy. Instead of traditional croutons, they added bread crumbs on top of the little gem lettuce. I enjoyed their take on a caesar, though it felt pretty heavy, much like the rest of our meal and the menu haha. The wings were delicious and my friend and I fought for who will take the last one. Spaghetti and meatballs was a very size able portion for two to share. We ordered the grandma's meatballs with the spaghetti and meatballs which had a different recipe, I believe crushed cashews are added. I enjoyed them, were not wowed, but very filling and hit the spot. The peach panna cotta was delightful! We savored each bite. My friend doesn't even like peaches that much but he really enjoyed this dessert. For wine, they have two house wines to choose from, a red and a white. We chose the red to pair with our meal and we liked it! I would definitely return for this dinner special. read more

Came in for the Monday deal! It's 2 apps, 1 entree, 1 dessert and 1 bottle of wine for $60 cash only. We got the spicy caesar, grandma's meatballs, the pasta bianco and a panna cotta. Also got the bottle of red. The vibes are very dive bar-y but I love it! Had a lot of character and the service was good. Spicy caesar wasn't spicy but that works out for me because I can't do much spice and it was just a good caesar. Grandma's meatballs came with 3 large meatballs and they were very tender. I got the pasta bianco because it was the most unique sounding and honestly was delicious, the pasta was al dente. Our server also told us the wine is made for them and a server designed the wine bottle label which is super unique and pretty decent wine! Overall had a great time, I could tell they were rushing us out a bit at the end. Would come back for the deal! read more

This place has the cutest little menus and labels on the wine. Everything is hand drawn by one of the workers! We came here for the $60 meal deal, it's cash only but they have an ATM if needed. It comes with two appetizers, one entree, one dessert and one bottle of wine. We chose the chopped salad and the buffalo wings as our appetizers. The buffalo wings were regular and not too spicy, however my partner did enjoy it. The salad was very acidic which was not what I expected. I personally did not like it and neither did my partner. The lasagna was pretty good. It was covered in sauce, ricotta, and pesto. I wish there was a little bit more meat in the lasagna. The pancotta was the favorite. It was very silky and smooth. The strawberry lemon syrup was a good pairing! The server we had was amazing. She was super sweet and knowledgeable. She made our experience. All in all, the food here is ok, but the service and small details were excellent. read more

My friend introduced me to this spot in Bernal Heights and it wasn't too crowded on a Friday evening. The inside is dim with mood lighting, and there a lot of Italian classics on the menu. We got the spicy caesar (which had a nice anchovy kick) and the spaghetti with grandma meatballs. The meatballs were definitely the best thing on the menu -- had a lot of flavor and the pine nuts added nice flavor/texture. The spaghetti was good but nothing crazy (my expectations were maybe too high given the name). Would classify this place as more of a cozy eats spot than super trendy, but it was refreshing given all the gazillion trendy Instagram hyped spots in the city. If I'm in the area would come back again for a meal! read more

Overall such a cute vibe! I didn't take a picture of my pasta but I got the fettuccine alfredo and it was the best I've had in a whileee we did order the garlic bread and it never came :( but the pasta filled me up so maybe it was a good thing. If you're going at night dress warm because the door stays open so the wind draft gets you! Drinks were okay but definitely a user issue because I should have known it was going to be strong lol read more

Emmy's Spaghetti Shack - Spaghetti Negroni and Old Fashioned Piña Colada - Italian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Emmy's Spaghetti Shack was...amazing. Like my friends and I were either relishing our food in complete silence or talking about how impressed we were at each dish. The Monday night $60 meal deal was, in fact, a steal. recs: spaghetti and meatballs, cadillac lasagna, buffalo wings, strawberry panna cotta (ok basically everything) price: ~$30/person - Buffalo Wings: The first buffalo wings I've had that were grilled instead of sauced up. The sauce on the side was deliciously creamy and paired really well with the dry spice on the wing. Absolutely delicious! - Caesar Salad: Each lettuce leaf was well-dressed with grated parmesan, breadcrumbs, and dressing. Super easy to share, and every bite was delicious. - Garlic Bread: Cheesy, straightforward garlic bread served with marinara sauce. If you're able to hold onto some of the bread, it is amazing with the lasagna vodka sauce. - Grandma's Meatballs: My friend prides himself in his meatball recipe and really loved these. They hold their shape and have a great texture -- definitely a recipe that's been perfected after over two decades. - Emmy's Spaghetti and Meatballs: We all loved this one. The flavor is very well-balanced, and the sauce sticks to the noodles so perfectly that there's hardly anything left on the plate to clean up. We were impressed that this pasta dish didn't leave us feeling super heavy afterwards. And also, more meatballs to enjoy if you ran out of the appetizers. - Cadillac Lasagna: A dish I don't think I can order anywhere else -- this is an al-dente (!) lasagna bathed in vodka sauce, pesto, and ricotta. The texture of the lasagna pairs so well with the soft creaminess of the ricotta and the vodka sauce. My personal favorite of the night! - Strawberry Panna Cotta: Unsure if this was on the menu, but it was a part of the Monday meal deal. This was one of the best panna cottas I've ever had and beats anything I've ever made. Sweet, but not too sweet, and never boring, even on your fifth bite. The restaurant was vibey, the place was packed, and servers were friendly. We loved this so much that we immediately booked another reservation lol. So yes, we'll definitely be back! read more

Went to Emmy's for their Monday $60 deal and thought it would be a great addition to weekday deals! For $60 (cash only fyi) you'll get two appetizers, one main, dessert & bottle of wine! Basically the dessert and wine are free :) Vibes were very charming with lots of decor, reddish lighting & cozy atmosphere. Wait was as expected as host stated near an hour without reservation but it lowkey felt like we were waiting for parties without reservations because their name was on the waitlist and they were waiting for those parties to arrive. Got seated at the bar which I don't mind but I felt like there was little to no interaction from the staff. It was up to the point that we just wanted to pay and leave because the lack of service prolonged our visit. Because the kitchen steps away from the bar, we can see orders piling up and it questionably took us 20minutes to receive our spaghetti. They usually offer complementary bread but I guess they ran out for the night :/ Onto the food!! Emmys spaghetti: 4/5, portion size was okay and meatballs definitely tasted fresh in house but there wasn't really much of a wow factor with the spaghetti itself, sauce was delicious to carry it overall. Spicey caesar salad 100/5: this was actually the star of the show... it tasted like an authentic Caesar salad wowwww. Side of meatballs: not a bad as a side as they use a different tomato base sauce, wish there was bread to soak up the saucy goodness. Overall, probably won't be back for a while but it's a deal worth scratching off the bucket list. read more

Although Emmy's has been around 25 years, we visited for the first time on a recent rainy Friday night. We didn't realize they accept reservations and were put on a waitlist. We had some drinks a few doors down at the Cuckoo Club and were finally seated 45 minutes later. We were seated at the bar/counter, which was a little strange because the bartender was making drinks directly in front of us and was not very friendly. The restaurant is dark with a red glow in the bar, with Xmas string lights throughout. My husband had the "Nona" spaghetti and meatballs ($25) and thought they were pretty good, and I had the tasty 5 layer Cadillac lasagna which was a little al dente. It included Pork + Beef Ragu, Beschamel, Pecorino, Vodka Sauce, Dollop of Ricotta and Sunflower Seed Pesto Drizzle ($26), served in a pasta bowl. We also split a spicy Caesar salad salad ($14) which was quite good and a bottle of red wine ($50), which decent tasting. If we go again, we will definitely make a reservation and perhaps bring a group as it's very fun atmosphere. In the back they have a private small room that is just beyond where two pinball machines are. The wait staff was friendly, but it's more for young hipsters than 60 year olds like ourselves. Parking can be difficult. read more

We were able to make a same day reservation for Tuesday night just a few hours prior. We walked in and the host was able to sit us immediately. The food itself was good and portions were big! The grandma's meatballs were also worth the $1 upgrade with the spaghetti and meatballs dish. We also ordered the cauliflower arancini and the rigatoni bolo bianco. Everything was super filling so we even had leftovers! The restaurant itself was super cute and the real star of the show was a $5 photobooth at the back of the restaurant! Highly recommend:) read more

I was super excited to try out Emmy's but I was a little underwhelmed with the food, I got the classic spaghetti and my friend got the spicy vodka. The classic spaghetti was fresh and the spicy vodka had a nice kick to it, but to me the pastas lacked in flavor. The pasta was cooked to a really nice al dente and the portion sizes were huge which I appreciated. The garlic bread was a table favorite but again just lacked flavor, the bread paired with the marinara sauce made up for it. The service was good we made a reservation and we were seated very quickly our server answered all our questions. The ambiance really does take the cake it's such a funky, fun place which is why I was a little sad I wasn't blown away by the food but happy I tried it read more

Emmy's is the most adorable spot in the mission! Came here for dinner for my friends birthday and loved the vibe off the bat. Super colorful inside with lots of fun art and the photobooth in the back is definitely a highlight! We took around 10 photos and managed to shove four of us in with no issues. Food was amazing, we got garlic bread with cheese and sauce and a spicy cesar to start - both to die for I would come back just for a drink and a cesar! Main courses we got to share were the lasagna, chicken parm and the fettuccini alfredo with shrimp! It was all so so good but the general consensus of the group was 1. fettucini alfredo, 2. lasagna and 3. the chicken parm! Will be back for more and maybe pick up an emmys shirt as well! read more

We ordered the meatballs, the spicy ceasar, the arancini and the chicken parm. Everything was absolutely delicious, and I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! Definitely a new favorite restaurant! I also had to buy the wine glasses because my friends and I are always I'm glad they sold them! read more

Did Emmy's change ownership? The food was so appalling that I'm still stunned. The Cauliflower Balls were burnt. Still, we scraped the burnt part off one of them to try it. The white sauce that came with it was sour and off. It tasted like fish. The Spaghetti with 3 Meatballs was mushy. The meatballs were also mushy and filled with small green pieces, maybe lentils? The Semolina Garlic Bread was a toasted roll akin to French bread rather than the sliced semolina bread they've always used. We ordered it with cheese and sauce, but that didn't even happen. The Chocolate Truffle Cake was more like a fudge cake and had whip cream on it. This used to be a small cake and is supposed to come with a berry sauce and ice cream as described on the menu. This is the worst meal I've had in years. I've been a customer of Emmy's since they opened. I've eaten there, taken friends there, and ordered from there countless times. We tried a bite of everything and then threw it all out. read more

We had a reservation here on a Friday night and were quick to get seated. I've had Emmy's on my list forever, so I was excited to finally try. Our server was really friendly and we ended up ordering the chicken parm, rigatoni bolo bianco, cauliflower arancini, and the garlic bread. We also tried the boozy frozen coffee. The chicken parm was pretty standard, no complaints. I'm not sure if it was just my spice tolerance, but I felt like there was a tad bit of heat in the sauce, which was unexpected. I did feel like the rigatoni could have been more seasoned and it came out warm, not hot, so it turned cold really quickly. My favorite was the cauliflower arancini. It was really cheesy and still crispy at the same time. The garlic bread was simple, but good as well. And to note, the frozen coffee was pretty strong. Overall a good meal if you're in the area! Not sure if I'd go out of my way though next time, since there's so many other good spots as well. read more

Starving as walking an been wanting to come here again. I have been here several times over the years . Now the menu is a little different since last time which is a few years. It's a little spicier although they had a dish which I loved gone wax very spicy. Still good just different. I ordered the marinara pasta it has a slight kick of heat in the taste . A half Cesar which is a good size and also with heat . Grandma s meatballs to go. Service was stellar and friendly in a pretty busy place for a Friday evening. It has a very nice atmosphere there is a Photo Booth in the back and garden seating if you like. Reservations are highly recommended cause luckily we sat in the window area the rest of the place except probably the bar area and garden were all reserved. They change the menu every two months I hear so I will check it out again . The pasta was the fusilli marinara and delicious. Fabulous place to visit. read more

We came to Emmy's on a Friday night around 10:30 PM after struggling to find anywhere still open, and I'm so glad we stumbled in. The service was incredibly friendly from the start, and the vibe was so cool -- think Italian hipster. Every dish we ordered was genuinely amazing. The meatballs, spicy Caesar and the Rigatoni Carbonara pasta were the standouts for me, but honestly you can't go wrong here. I'd come back every week if I could. read more

Best EP I have ever had - crisp on the outside, tender on the inside. All the sauces were delicious! The place was PACKED on a Friday night, but our waiter was very attentive!

Okay, so firstly I apologize, I did not take any pictures of the food. I was so dang hungry that I immediately dug in to the shrimp scampi toast and the chicken parm. Both were chef's kiss great, and the portions were just right for two hungry people. Our server, Atilla, became my best friend. He was super attentive, very honest, and had a great sense of humor. My friend and I sat outside in the patio (we got there at 6ish), it was a nice day and we were the first ones to sit in there. Him and I like to talk over each other so I can imagine that when the patio is full, convos are the rage. Inside is super vibey, very dark, and decorated with nostalgic pieces. The price point is very generous, considering the portions and quality of the food. This is also a late-night spot, so either way, come hungry. I ordered the basil sweet tea (deep breath), and it was so refreshing and tasty. My bonus kid texted me after I got home to ask me of any dinner spots I would recommend and I IMMEDIATELY sent him my recommendation of Emmy's Spaghetti Shack. read more

Great Monday night dinner deal - $60 cash only for a bottle of house wine (red or white), 2 appetizers, 1 entree, and a dessert! We were able to make a res in advance and the restaurant was still fairly empty when we arrived. We shared a bottle of their house red and then ordered the grandma's meatballs, cauliflower arancini, and cadillac lasagna. Loved both apps, the meatballs were tender and in a great tangy flavorful marinara. The cauliflower arancini which nice with melted cheese inside. The lasagna was definitely the star as the pork + beef ragu was so yummy in the creamy and tomatoey vodka sauce. The ricotta and pesto topping added a ton of extra flavor and the pesto was just perfect and really fresh. Bonus points for the crunchy lasagna bits at the corners of the slice, really the best parts! Dessert was a cheesecake covered in strawberries. Nothing too special but a nice sweet treat to round out dinner. Overall such a good deal and a ton of food! Will definitely be back to try the spaghetti and meatballs.

They have to hate children. Yelp says they are family and children friendly but their menu has a whole set of rules for kids and says they will kick you out. I just don't get how a "restaurant" that basically only sells spaghetti can be weird towards children. They should really just list themselves as a bar because that's what they are going for. The food is bland and basic (perfect for a child's palate) and the staff is subpar. No one was rude to my kids but you could tell they weren't thrilled to have tiny patrons. The kids were well behaved and they liked all the lights but I don't think we'll be back. Maybe try Original Joes if you have kids with you. Updating my review to one star because the owner wants to be an arse. Yes, this is offensive. If you hate kids just say that and don't allow them. read more
