Made a same day reservation during the week and sat outside. Super nice spot! The pizza is nothing special. The baby lettuce salad and the vodka pasta, however, were amazing! We also got cocktails which were delicious and nice and strong. read more

Fiorella -Polk - Margherita Pie Radiatore Alla Vodka DiavoloVodka OG Baby Lettuce Salad - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been coming to this location over the last few years and have had a great experience every time! The outside patio is a great place for a dinner on a nice night. However, if you're at the tables against the building there is a lot of foot traffic right next to you. It's been pretty easy to do a same day res, have also done walk ins and have never had to wait more than 20min! My favorite appetizer they have is the herb crusted chicken wings. They are so tasty and juicy, definitely something I get every time I'm here. Favorite pasta here is by far the rigatoni. The sauce is fantastic and the servings are generous. I've tried their pizzas as well, but not many since I always choose pasta over pizza. Their drinks are great as well, I love their spritz and it's a large class for a decent price. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner on a Tuesday evening! It was pretty full, so I would recommend making a reservation! We got a bottle of white wine to share - all of the wine is 50% off on Tuesdays, so definitely recommend stopping by! For the appetizers, we got the brussel sprouts and the arancini - both were incredibly flavorful and delicious! I'm still thinking about the arancini - it's probably some of the best I've had! We got the Burrata Pie and the Tuscan Kale Pie - both were amazing, the Tuscan Kale pie had a nice kick to it with the chili. We shared the Radiatore Alla Vodka Diavolo which was also really flavorful. For dessert, we shared the chocolate budino, which was very rich and decadent! The ambience was nice and the staff was very friendly. I definitely recommend coming here in a group and sharing! Will definitely be back again soon! read more

Rigatoncini Al Bolognese Classico - the pasta was al dente but dry. The pasta dish was flavorful but it needed more sauce. I'm not sure if the transportation time made it dry. I would come back in person to try it again in person. read more

If you want to be rushed for a $250 meal then this is your place! If not- do not go. Went for a friend's birthday dinner. Three of us. Literally took two bites of our food and we were asked for boxes to go. We stayed only 1.5 and were told they needed the table - even though there were empty tables and it was already 9 pm. Food was good. Service not so much. read more

Celebrated my friend's 40th here and we didn't realize it was restaurant week! It was a great coincidence as they have a set menu for the night! I love what I had which included-- prosciutto and persimmons for appetizers, squid ink pasta with shrimp for my main and the Budino for dessert. All good but my favorite was the main! Spicy and tasty and the pasta is well made, the shrimps are large and meaty! We also ordered funghi pie in addition and some Arancinis! Service was great! My friends were a bit late but they were very flexible and did not let us feel like they were in a hurry to kick us out! Ambiance is vibrant and casual! I enjoy those chatters when we are in a restaurant that is so good and everyone seems to be just having a great conversation over a good meal! 4 stars because there was one time we asked some wait staff (not our server) the name of a food that was ordered by another table but she looked so busy and clueless at the same time and we never got a response. Other than that, we had a great time and will come back! read more

Awesome spot! I thought the vibes inside were cute and the wallpaper was super cool. We ended up getting the OG baby lettuce salad, the salsiccia pie and the radiatore alla vodka pasta. The salad was good. Nothing amazing but after reading that it was a creamy avocado dressing we expected the dressing to be heavy but to our surprise it was super light. It looks big but very good appetizer salad. The pizza was great. It packed a lot of flavor and the crust/undercarriage was perfectly crispy. One thing I will note is that it had a lot of oil which dripped out so be careful with your clothes. We got a side of their ranch which was super good. You could taste the dill in it and it wasn't super heavy either! The pasta was probably the best thing we got. It tasted more like a bolognese but super good. I'm not sure if it was ricotta but whatever came on the top made it even better. Wish we got more of it. Overall, the place was super cute and awesome atmosphere. Server was super attentive and friendly which was a bonus read more

This place was so good. We came for a group event and I thoroughly enjoyed everything - we had the salciccia pizza, margarita pizza, cacio e Pepe pasta, meatballs, risotto balls and salad with fennel. Everything was well made and pasta was perfectly cooked. Can't complain! Enjoy. read more

It was a busy night but we got our reserved table quickly. I was excited to try their summer salads. That, with wind and briny olives sounded great. The salads were yummy. Stone fruit with burrata and nuts hit the spot. The farro with asparagus and peas was perfect. My husband had the pepperoni pizza and I was surprised and delighted with how many pepperoni were on the pie. Lots. I was disappointed in the Cabernet I ordered. I told the waitress and to my delight, she took it off the bill. Very accommodating. read more

You must get the radiators vodka pasta here!!! It is so flavorful and the best vodka pasta I've ever had. I'd recommend going to happy hour Mon, tues or thurs from 5-6pm to get it for $15. The pizza here is also good but I usually just get the vodka pasta. read more

Went for brunch with some friends. We tried the cacio e Pepe kale salad which was delicious! We also had the radiatore alla vodka diovolo- the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. We tried the salsiccia pie, it wasn't my favorite, the flavor of the calabrian chilis didn't taste like the Calabrian chilis that I'm used to. The service was great, they were attentive and warm! Espresso martini was also delicious and not too sweet! read more

Out door seating is nice - great ambience, safe, clean sidewalk, lots of foot traffic, plenty of heating for outdoor seats in the evenings. Service is ok. The waiters are polite, but the service is overall pretty slow, it's clear the the restaurant is under staffed. Tried to order the grilled octopus as a starter and they are out of it... it wasn't even 8:00pm, the restaurant seems very popular... Overall the food flavor is a 6.5-7/10, nothing regarding taste really stood out to us. The crab they use for pasta tasted fresh. One redeeming quality for a Italian restaurant is they cooked the pasta perfectly to Al-dente, which surprisingly, a lot of Italian restaurants in SF seem to mess up easily. This alone is the reason why I bumped the restaurant from 3 stars to 4 stars. read more

Fantastic food, great service. We started with the Crostino "Alla Norma." It was absolutely amazing. A tomato fell off and I tried it before I tried the whole dish and it tasted like some of the best pasta sauce I've ever had. The entire dish was perfect. I would do this dish a disservice if I tried to describe it, but it was so good. I saw the pizzas and they looked and smelled delicious but they looked a little on the smaller side and I had just gotten to San Francisco and I was starting. I would have eaten the whole thing and been satisfied but there were two of us and the other one didn't want to let me eat a whole pizza, so we got pasta. I'm sure the pizza was amazing but the pasta was the right choice. I had the Rigatoncini al Bolognese. The pasta was the perfect al dente and the sauce was delicious. She had the Chittara Alla Cacio, and I didn't try it because it was billed as very fishy (not my thing) but she said it was perfect. read more

Such an amazing surprise on my evening walk. Fiorella has amazing food. I had their gluten free cacio pepe and it was by far the best gluten free pasta I have ever had. Definitely will be coming back for more. It has a very relaxed appeal. A little classy with cool seating. I got sat in a booth by the window....immaculate people watching. Our server was lovely and had great energy. Definitely elevated the whole experience. read more

I got sick from the pizza!!!! I have ordered the Margherita before and thought it was super solid. It is my go to -- I do not order anyhting else. I've taken friends, my mom, and my boyfriend. Last week, I called to place an order for 2 Margherita pizzas extra crispy for pick up in 40 minutes. The manager on the phone taking my order sounded like he did not know what was on their menu. On the online order form, it says "Allergies....nightshade." I asked what that was and he was telling me about people who are sensitive to the sun and get cold. I was insanely confused at how this is an allergy that comes from this pizza. I directed him to where it says this on the menu and he said something along the lines of "oh ok let me gooogle it." I was just curious you know because I have never seen this allergy before. This interaction showed me that this Fiorella location does not know and does not have proper training on allergies. Anyway, I decided ok let me place my order I have had it before so I should be good. Me and my bf ate the pizzas all good. It came with some chilli oil and parmesan on the side. Nice and toasty, nothing tasted off. Cool. LATER THAT NIGHT, me and my boyfriend felt super sick and bloated. We did not eat the same thing for breakfast or lunch (I did not have lunch). The only common thing we had was the Margherita pizaas from Fiorella on Polk. We were bloated, felt sick, and regretted eating that pizza. This restaurant is an italian restaurant with prices and a menu that makes customers assume they are on the more knowledgeable, specialized, and high quality side. This is not a fast food chain pizza place. For the price and ambiance we expect a level of service, knowledge, specialty, and FOOD QUALITY WE DID NOT RECEVIE. read more

Really pleasantly surprised by this place! This is the only Fiorella location I've been to, and happened to be looking for a vegetarian-friendly place in Russian Hill with a group of 6 friends. This ended up being a hit. We got 3 pizza pies - a margharita pizza, summer squash pizza, and a salcissia pie. Each one had a nice crispy, smoky crust. The summer squash was really unique and fresh-tasting, margharita was nice and saucy and melt-in-mouth. Also got some corn arancini to split (really nice and creamy) and loved the peach and burrata salad. My favorite was the vodka pasta -- it was creamy without being overbearing. It was a warmer evening so we all sat outside on the sidewalk -- the service was also pretty fast. Would come back and try more dishes! read more

Had to say I was quite impressed with the food here! Appetizers: - Arancini's are nice and crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside, the sauce goes super well with it! - Whipped ricotta crostino was excellent! The ricotta was super light and airy while possessing a nice, rich flavor! The basil oil is a nice touch to wrap the dish together! Pasta: - Radiatore all vodka was great! The radiatore pasta shape (like a radiator) holds the delicious sauce extremely well, very pleased with this one! Pizza: puffy/airy crusts, thin, neopolitan-style - Carbonara pie was my standout, very unique and not overly heavy despite the rich ingredients. The runny egg yolk on top was delightful, guanciale is of course always delicious, goes very well with the pecorino. - Burrata pie was delicious, an upgrade to the margherita but very similar in taste overall...both very good - Salsiccia pie was super interesting. The house-made sausages are seasoned super well, taste really fresh. The Calabrian chili sauce adds the perfect acidity to cut through the richness of the sausage and cheese...very well put together dish! - funghi pie was pretty decent, wouldn't order again though knowing the other options on the menu Great spot, and not overly expensive for San Francisco! I feel confident that this spot will not disappoint! 9/10 read more

I ordered a pasta and salad and both items were somewhat disappointing. The rigatoncini al bolognese had a tasty sauce yet the sauce was disproportionally small to the amount of pasta, so the dish ended up somewhat dry and flavorless. Similarly the OG baby lettuce salad had a small amount of dressing so the bland flavor of the salad came through. So overall the food quality was Meh. read more

I ordered the citrus and stracciatella salad, along with the pea tendril and stracciatella pizza. Both were solid choices, and the service was great. That said, I probably wouldn't return unless it was during their happy hour deal, which is only available Monday through Thursday. read more

Such good food! We ordered the Salsiccia Pie and Vodka Diavolo and both were solid options. The Salsiccia Pie was a new interesting combo for me but they all blended well. The Vodka Diavolo will also be a repeat in the future - the pasta was perfectly cooked and there was a generous amount of sauce on the dish without drowning out the pasta. -1 star bc we had a massive tomato in our dish (probably got missed while blending the sauce). It was incredibly salty and kinda threw off the rest of the dish. I guess the silver lining is now I can verify they use whole tomatoes to make the sauce lol. Came in on a Sunday night and it was packed but we got a table at the bar within abt 10 min without a reservation. Food came out quick and the service was great! read more

Fiorella has been on the list for awhile, and when we were looking for a impromptu date night spot for dinner, we finally checked it off the list because we were able to get a last minute reservation. Since it was our first time here, we decided to try a few things.... We started off with their herbed chicken wings, which came with a side of ranch but we ended up asking for a side of their peppercorn aioli, and found that to be a favorite dipping sauce. The wings were cooked perfectly, slight crunch, juicy, and had great flavor. Probably my favorite part of the meal. For pizza, we got a Margherita pie with extra cheese. The extra cheese is the move because most pies like this are more sauce heavy, and we love our cheese. I'll admit, neopolitan style pizza is my least favorite pizza style, but this was one of the better ones I've had. If you like this style, they do it really well. For pasta, we got the cacio e pepe. The noddles were al dente just like them but I thought the dish itself was alright. I think a little extra pepper would've helped. The portion size is on the smaller side but it was great for sharing with the other dishes we ordered. Overall, glad we tried it, would definitely come back for the wings alone. read more

Great addition to Polk Gulch! Located blocks from Seven Hills, we enjoyed Fiorella. It seems like a less pretentious but more Bay Area (see the wallpaper inside) Italian gem. I loved theOctopus squid ink pasta and my boyfriend devoured his Salsiccia Pie. I thought the Aperol spritz was strong. They didn't give much wine in a glass. Service was very good. Love the outdoor parklet and sidewalk tables. Will be back. read more

I've been dining here for the past couple of months, especially on the last Monday of the month for their awesome Neighborhood Appreciation special priced menu! LOVE it! :0) Despite often getting crazy busy, the entire staff is always friendly, warm, welcoming and attentive. We really appreciate your team and all that you do to keep making us Happy Diners! :0) Thank You! The "Pizzeria Salad" is a variety of healthy veggies served up with a delicious side of super amazing dressing! I can't remember the name of it, but I would love to buy a bottle of this salad dressing if they ever sold it! I finally tried the Cacio e Pepe/Pepper Pasta entree. It's a nice, large, tasty portion served Al Denté. The Pepperoni Pizza is always a winner! I keep forgetting to ask them if they can cut the pizzas into 8 pieces because sliced in 4 is just too large when you're eating salad and pasta too! Thank you for yet another delicious dinner and enough leftovers for a lunch or dinner the next day! Already looking forward to the next visit! :0) P.S. Adding the Margherita Pizza, Sausage & Mushroom Pizza, Meatballs and Arancini Appetizer photos from Nov & Dec! read more

Came here for neighborhood appreciation night! Simply can't beat their special menu prices especially when factoring in the ambiance. Great spot, the separate menu of $10 pizza/pasta options had enough to keep us happy and satisfied. Ended up ordering the pizza app salad, two pasta and a pizza. Everything was solid! Good portions, good flavor - the vodka pasta was the best. It didn't blow me away flavor wise but we didn't splurge for their more special items on the full menu and I'm vegetarian so take it with a grain of lettuce. Service staff very friendly and wonderful. read more

e arrived with a reservation but were informed there were no inside seats available. We were offered the parklet, but it has no heaters. Eventually, the host offered us a 4-top by the front door. When I asked about other empty tables, I was told they were reserved. The most frustrating part: the host gave me permission to consult with my friends (who were currently entering the building) about the door table, but then immediately gave that table away to a walk-in party. When I spoke up, he claimed we "weren't ready." Despite the rocky start, we did eventually get seated and the food was delicious. Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. However, I was disappointed that when we asked for a pizza substitution, she confirmed it was possible but failed to mention there would be an extra charge for it. Great flavors, but the front-of-house management and communication regarding extra costs could definitely be improved. read more

This is the third Fiorella we have been to. They all offer a very comparable if not identical menu why change it if it works. At this Fiorella we got a margarita pizza and a bottle of wine. Again don't fix it if it's not broken. The service Was top-notch. Fast friendly and even funny. Fero just recently opened a new location on 24th St. Looking forward to checking it out. We mostly go to the Farella on ninth Avenue near Golden Gate Park. It's a great location and again top-notch service and food. All locations are nice. But the one on ninth Avenue has a nice fireplace. Protip, eating at the bar is fast and always great service. read more

One of the best deals of SF! It's not widely publicized on their website - but the last Monday of every month is their neighborhood appreciation day - where you can get mains and drinks for $10 each! We've been 2 times now and it's been excellent food for value. We especially like their vodka pasta and all of the pizzas. Service is excellent and they're always willing to accommodate any requests to sit inside/outside. Nice ambiance and not too loud - a great date spot or for groups of friends! Would highly recommend trying it out read more

Fiorella, kind of a slay. We came for the neighborhood night which is the last Monday of every month. One of my friends made a reservation last minute which was honestly the move because it was BUMPING. There's a specific happy hour / neighborhood menu where the pizza's and pastas are $10 and we also had a deal with InKind which gave us $25 off the meal. I love a great deal tbh. We got the meatballs and the arancini for the appetizers which were really good and came out quickly. We then both got the pasta (I don't remember) which one it was and then we got two pizzas. One of the pasta options was the cacio e pepe. Overall, the food was pretty good but the I'd say the appetizers were the star here. The pizza here is always just fine and I just want pizza that has a thicker crust... something about SF pizza places love to make a burnt crust. Also the waiter at the end struggled to give us the bill as well. We sat outside the so the vibes were really good. read more

First time at Fiorella on Polk - I love the one in the outer Richmond. The waiter was incredibly nice and attentive. We sat outside and there are blankets and heaters, so wasn't cold at all.

I'm not being dramatic, but Fiorella Polk is the definition of a perfect SF night out. If you're looking for that sweet spot of "foodie heaven" without having to sell a kidney, this is it. It's got beautiful lighting, super chic decor (the wall art is fire), and the whole place just buzzes with great energy. It's my new go-to for dates and impressing my friends. Let's talk about the food, because OMG. This isn't your grandma's Italian (unless your grandma is a Michelin chef). Everything is elevated, fresh, and tastes like they put actual magic in it. We ordered family style--as any respectable foodie group should--and here are must-haves: 1. Cacio e Pepe Pizza: I know, Cacio e Pepe on a pizza? Trust me. The black pepper crema base, the crispy dough, the perfect balance of salty Pecorino. It is pure genius. Best pizza in Polk Gulch, hands down. 2. The Gnocchi (Seasonal): We got the current seasonal gnocchi and it was ridiculous. Light, pillowy clouds that melted on the tongue. It changes, but whatever they're serving, order it. It proves they know what they're doing with pasta. 3. Polpette (Meatballs): These are the perfect appetizer. Served in that rich tomato sauce with crunchy bread for dipping. Simple, classic, and executed flawlessly. The service was fast and friendly, and while we definitely had a cocktail or two, we stayed comfortably in that $50-$65 per person range, which is unheard of for this quality and ambiance in San Francisco. TL;DR: Fiorella Polk is a vibe. The food is next-level delicious (get the Cacio e Pepe pizza). Run, don't walk. You're welcome. read more

I live a few blocks away and called their number tonight to place a pick up order. When the phone was answered by their AI Assistant, I was immediately turned off and decided to place an online order. While trying to place an online order for their Zuckerman's Asparagus Pie, I saw that it came with chili flakes (I love spice as in flavor but not as in hot - why the heck do so many pizza places add chili flakes to their pizzas when they can be easily added later on if desired??). When I tried to modify the order to exclude the chili flakes, I was informed that no modifications were allowed online. I went back to calling their number - mercifully, their AI assistant's first option was to speak with a host which I requested. My call was answered by Brian (I think) and I made my request. He said that he'd check with the kitchen but thought that they may not be able to remove the chili flakes. After about 5 minutes on hold, Brian came back but I could barely hear him. It look a couple of minutes before I could understand what he was saying. Fortunately, the response was that they could skip the chili flakes. Halfway through our conversation, the volume dropped again and I could barely hear him. Still, he was able to convey when the pizza would be ready. I walked over 30 minutes later, spoke with Brian (he was very pleasant), paid for my pizza and took it home. I eagerly bit into it but my second bite yielded a piece of plastic (see photo). So, I called Fiorella once again and Brian picked up. Once again, the audio quality was awful and we could barely understand each other. He apologized for the plastic and told me that they would be happy to make it again. I said "no thanks" and just asked him to let the kitchen know, which he said he would. The pizza itself was delicious so I'd give the food and Brian's responsiveness 5 stars. The piece of plastic brought it down to 4 stars. The poor (repeated) audio quality and AI assistant dropped it to 3 stars. When a restaurant charges $25 for a smallish pizza, I'd hope that they make sure not to let foreign objects fall into their dishes. Also, please get rid of the AI assistant (it's not useful at all and I assume most callers choose to talk to the host, like I did) and fix the phone issues (maybe get a new phone?). read more
