When my friend chose to dine here on a midweek lunch, I envisioned the place being on Irving Street where numerous new eateries have and continue to open. After finding a parking space about two blocks away, I reread the address and had a good idea of the location. Then I heard this song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgKAFK5djSk&list=RDRgKAFK5djSk&start_radio=1) as I reflected. This, for many years, was the home for Park Chow, a neighborhood staple for locals and visitors alike, given its proximity to Golden Gate Park. I'd come for random casual dinners and later often for midweek lunches as parking was not very difficult and it was close to home. Fast forward to now and not much has changed aside from the signage as there were outdoor tables near the entrance, the bar to the right as you enter, and a number of tables along the side besides those in the main dining room. We were seated in a middle table on the left near the front and promptly given menus and water for our table. My gracious hosts have never dined at this restaurant and it was my 1st for this location after trying their Clement Street one about a year ago. My friends are both pescetarian and were happy that the menu was friendly to their needs. We decided to order a family style meal so we shared everything that was ordered as follows: Appetizers: 1. Wood roasted broccolini (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=InCrlz3Q1zKl5LQQcMMgSw) - Shaved pecorino and lemon oil. Very simple dish with a good amount of flavor. The shaved cheese gave this a richness that paired well with the char flavor from the vegetable. 2. Tuscan kale with olive oil, poached egg (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=xNHz220dKE2PFbzK-oZP-Q) - Cacioe Pepe dressing, Pangrattato & olive oil poached egg. I found this particularly interesting with the variety of ingredients and flavors. The poached egg helped cut the saltiness of the salad and paired well with both pies that we shared. Pizza: 3. Funghi pie (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=D1vVv1gqEWVEGdAwE2c4jg) - Cremini & oyster mushrooms, rosemary, garlic, Crescenza & Fontina Vat d'Acosta. The mushroom topping is generously portioned and the flavors are on point. The crust is nicely charred and interesting being thin in some parts while fluffier and slightly doughy on the outer edges. 4. Margherita pie (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=jbekDU8pZmnRTep2e7sqvQ) - Tomato, basil, & Fior di Latte. Very simple (sauce, herb, and cheese) yet flavorful. When we arrived around 12:30 pm, there were only four or five occupied tables, mostly in the front area. By the time we left, there were several more parties that arrived while one or two left. I guess people dine for lunch on the later side here. Since my gracious hosts paid the bill, I did not catch our waiter's name but thanks to him for meeting all our needs and being efficient. As we left Emily checked on us and I mentioned that I'd tried the location and enjoyed the grilled octopus. She was also gracious in asking us how we enjoyed our meal. I look forward to coming back and perhaps having a pasta too next time.

Radiatore Alla Vodka Diavolo

Fiorella IS the SF neighborhood Italian spot for a good pasta and a crisp glass of wine when you want to romanticize your life a little. I ordered the Radiatore Alla Vodka Diavlo which easily deserved the 5/5. Perfectly Al dente paste, well seasoned (the ridges of the pasta catch the sauce), so tomato-y yet savory, perfect amount of cream from the burrata. It is some of the simplest and best vodka sauce pasta I've had in the city. Me and friends had a good yap at the bar, and service was prompt and friendly! Even on a Tuesday night, the restaurant was quite crowded (thanks to SF's abrupt transition to spring).

Orange wine!

We popped in for Happy Hour and are very glad that we did! First off, our server was very attentive and helpful. The Happy Hour prices were amazing and the food and drinks were absolutely delicious. Serving sizes were generous. And we loved the neighborhood cafe feeling with cozy fireplace and bar. A definite must-try.

Came here on a Friday night we were seated upstairs right away. The restaurant is very cute inside but the parking was horrible. We drove around for at least 10 minutes looking for a spot. The pasta was pretty good. We got Cacio de Pepe & our waiter was friendly!

After a long walk around GGP, we wrapped up the evening at Fiorella. We were immediately welcomed by a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere that perfectly balanced casual comfort with celebratory energy that created the backdrop for a meal worth savoring. We ordered: - NOPEROL SPRITZ (giffard and martini & rossi, n/a aperitivos, good twin n/a sparkling wine) -- refreshing and thoughtfully crafted - SAUVIGNON BLANC (2024, Walter Hansel, Sonoma County) -- full-bodied with crisp acidity, offering bright notes of citrus pith, pineapple, grapefruit, tarragon, and ginger - NYC STYLE PEPPERONI PIE (Ezzo pepperoni, 'NYC slice' style sauce, mozzarella & grana padano) -- showcased everything Fiorella does well: a nicely charred, chewy crust, rich flavor, and an unexpected hit of garlic slices that provided an extra layer of flavor and personality. Service was attentive and friendly throughout. Overall, Fiorella Sunset delivers on both atmosphere and cuisine, and is a local gem that every Italian food lover should try!

The burrata pie was most excellent.
Wolf H.

The Super Fun Friendship Club finally made it's first visit to Fiorella with a party of ten. We will certainly be back. The staff here is PHENOMENAL. Friendly, efficient, and attentive. Great Italian food with some of the less standard options. The pizzas here are simple and perfect. They really focus on highlighting just a couple of flavors and getting it very right. The funghi pizza, for example, does not distract you from the magic of the mushrooms. It hones in on it and highlights it. Mmmm, yes please! We have a "no cheese" member in our club and Fiorella accommodated them perfectly. Thanks! The burrata tomato salad, when in season, is a mind-blowing taste experience. It's perfect. I highly recommend the arancini appetizer and the Nonna's meatballs appetizer. These are also both perfect. You'll be saying, "Oh my gosh, I am so glad that Wolf told me to order this!" And you will be very right. The only downside here is the noise level makes it hard to have conversations. Next time, we will see if we can dine on the rooftop patio or something. Pro tip: After dinner, walk a few doors down and get some ice cream at Hometown Creamery. This is a great neighborhood to stroll around. Parking can be tricky so come a bit earlier in the evening to get a good spot.

Rachelle T.

Nice spot for a date night! Had a reservation for 7pm on a Friday, and it took a while to find parking. I recommend parking in Golden Gate Park as it's a close walk. The Burrata Pie is a perfect size for 2! Pairs well with 2022 Chianti Colli Fiorentini Red. It was okay to me. Service was quick, but had some minor mishaps with wrong orders coming to our table and an incorrect check. Be sure to double check!

Burrata Pie
Jamie K.

Might be my fav pasta rn - please get the vodka pasta and the squid ink. Both are just slightly life changing and if not maybe ur life is already just good. The avocado salad is also crazy and the servers are always so sweet. Highly recommend for a nice, smart casual dinner.

Nonna's Meatballs
Jade C.

We came here for a quick bite before heading to the Lightscape event at botanical gardens (before they ended up cancelling it). It was one of the rainiest and windiest nights I've seen in San Francisco! The upper dining area is not strongly suited for this type of weather. The "roof" is cloth material that whips around and holds rain water on top that leaks down. Luckily ours didn't leak but the large party to our left had some hissing heaters because of the water coming through. There was only one server on top who was covering 6 tables and we were all seated at once so the poor guy was working his butt off. Because of the cancelled lightscape, we were not in a rush. Pasta was fresh! I don't know if they're all house made but the ones we ordered were. I haven't had pesto in a few years due to overdoing it in meal prep for years and years, and this pesto did not disappoint. So delicious in a house made pasta with green beans. Must order: 1. Meatballs 2. Arancini 3. Wilted chicory salad - hear me out here; chicory is always a bit bitter but they pair it with a warm anchovy vinaigrette. Delicious!

Mushroom pizza with added sausage
Maria G.

We came here for dinner on a Monday evening a little after it opened at 5pm. Happy hour is from 5-6pm. We didn't know this when we chose this place but they had good choices for lower prices. We got the mushroom pizza and the lamb sausage pasta. For the pasta, it was with gluten free pasta which was very good. Good balance of ingredients. Portion sizes were good. For the pizza, the texture was a bit on the chewy side. There's no Parmesan cheese on the table. It's something you need to request. It doesn't cost extra though. I can understand this if it was fresh Parmesan that needs to be shaved at the table but it's not. And they give you a little bit on a small dish. Anyway, the food was good. The atmosphere was comfortable. Service was very good.

Burrata pizza
Tiffany D.

Wow, we had some amazing pizza here. My kid said it was the best pizza she's had in ten years (and she's only 9, ha). We tried the arancini (also delicious), broccolini, burrata pizza, and I had the vodka pasta (cooked perfectly). I also loved the spicy Bloody Mary. Would love to return!

Negroni
Carrie G.

We got there right when it opened at 4:30 which was a great choice. They were getting busy when we left. Our server was very accommodating(we moved tables after being sat by the door upstairs) he knew the menu and was very nice. We got the crostini which was so good. I got a white peach Negroni for a drink. We also got wings and two pizzas. The burrata pizza and a pepperoni. I think I the total bill was over $200 which was a little spendy!! But the food was good. The tomato sauce was very flavorful. I could have had more burrata instead of just one piece for the whole pizza because it was a little bare.

Radiatore Alla Vodka Diavolo
Dhruti P.

Came here for a friend's birthday as a large group, and we had such a great time! We sat on the rooftop, which had heaters and a really nice ambience. The food was delicious all around. We started with the arancini, which was perfectly hot, cheesy, and crispy, and the sauce it came with was so good. The vodka pasta was the highlight of the meal - creamy, flavorful, and super satisfying. As a burrata lover, I also have to say the burrata pizza was fresh, rich, and definitely something I'd order again. Overall, great vibes, great food, and perfect for a group dinner or celebration.

The craft cocktails are fantastic and designed to mimmic Asian dishes…read more Korean Cold Noodles ($19) Probably the most unique cocktail, and equally as delicious. Pandan Vieux Carré ($22) By far my favorite cocktail of the night - very well balanced, spirit forward but also bright and silky. A5 Wagyu & Black Truffle Old Fashioned ($25) This was also fantastic, rich and buttery old fashioned with truffle accents. The A5 Wagyu is sourced from the Niku Steakhouse local butcher shop! Ube Cheesecake ($19) Wonderful dessert cocktail to finish the night. We didn't have time to try the Escape Room connected to the Speakeasy, but we'll be back! There are two rooms, one in the front with a puzzle theme, and another in the back with a Middle Earth (Lord of the Rings) vibe. Staff was friendly and took time to explain the clever menu to us!

Lore's Wonderland escape room was a fun and delightfully whimsical experience. **This review is…read moremainly for the escape room, as we did not order any additional drinks outside of the escape room.** THE SPACE // Lore Speakeasy and Escape Room has cool themed decor everywhere, from the dimly-lit speakeasy/bar room in front, to the Middle Earth/Lord of the Rings-themed board game room, to the individual bathrooms, and of course the escape room's multiple Alice in Wonderland-themed rooms. Clearly a lot of effort went into building these rooms and evoking a certain vibe for each. THE ESCAPE ROOM // The puzzles in the escape room varied in difficulty - some required us to think a bit more, some required our observational skills to work harder, and others required a light level of physical skill/movement. We were perplexed a few times but never got stuck for too long, as the White Rabbit (played by Phoenix, the live actor/puzzle master) would jump in occasionally to provide clues over the speaker or in person. It took us about 1 hr 20 min to finish the entire escape room; I thought the pacing was good. THE [ESCAPE ROOM] DRINKS // Lore's escape room experience comes with "a flight of themed cocktails or mocktails, including "potion"-style drinks that are integrated into the experience as you progress", per the website. We got to choose one cocktail/mocktail option (Korean Cold Noodles) from a list on the website, and the other two drinks are pre-selected to supposedly fit into the Wonderland theme, with the flavors described online as "berry" and "peach". You can get both cocktail and mocktails for your party, in case some people want alcohol and others don't. We all enjoyed the flavor of the Korean Cold Noodles cocktail, which was refreshing and surprisingly a bit minty in the mocktail version. However, we didn't like the two other two pre-selected themed drinks as much. The "berry" drink gave us cherry cough syrup vibes, and the cocktail version of it was quite strong. The "peach" mocktail drink reminded me of canned fruit syrup; we also were missing the two cocktail versions, though we decided not to ask for them as the mocktail version already was less than impressive. One other missed expectation here was the size of the drinks that we received in the escape room. We were expecting full-sized cocktails, like what they serve in the speakeasy in front. Instead, we found out that the drinks are served in small "vials". Given the size of the drinks in the escape room, combined with us not even enjoying two out of the three drinks, I would preferred to go through the escape room without the drinks at all, and likely pay a bit less for the escape room then. OVERALL // I'd still recommend the escape room as a good one-time experience with a date/friends/family. Just don't expect too much from the included themed drinks! The speakeasy drinks on the main menu do sound unique/tasty, so I might come back again to try those sometime.

I liked the cardamom in the Beauty Mark as well that my partner ordered. We ordered shishito peppers and mushroom bahn mi sliders. The mushroom bahn mi sliders were amazing - the quality fillings and taste of the soft bun - I was unexpectedly hit with a bite of spice from maybe jalapeño seeds left but didn't sour my experience. The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat. However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.

This is the second place on this visit that's charging an extra 5% fee so that their employees can have a living wage and health insurance, which absolutely, every employee should have. With the prices they charge, they should already be able to do that, though. I read an article about this fee with many different names and I would rather pay a bit higher of a price and know the employees were taken care of than be surprised by this fee later. Two sandwich breakfasts, a mocha and a danish on top of tax and their healthy sf fee was $63. Steep for the quality we got. Won't be back.

Unfortunately, our experience started off on the wrong foot before we even made it upstairs. When we arrived, the doorman, a tall, heavyset gentleman, was eating and did not acknowledge us as we approached. I politely asked if the restaurant was open, and instead of simply answering the question, he responded that it wasn't a restaurant but a rooftop bar, adding, "I don't know where you got that misconception." I found the comment unnecessarily dismissive and somewhat condescending. As an educated woman visiting with my husband and our minor daughter, I felt there were more professional ways to clarify the venue's concept. Rather than engage further, I chose to ignore the remark. He then pointed us toward the line, despite there being no one else waiting, and pressed the elevator button with an attitude that made us feel like we were inconveniencing him simply by being there. First impressions matter, and unfortunately this interaction left us feeling unwelcome before we even had the opportunity to experience the venue itself. Hospitality begins at the door, and I hope management provides additional customer service training to ensure future guests are greeted with courtesy and respect.

Better drinks and better crowd control and Darling will be just fine. But as I mentioned, they were already packed stem to stern at 7pm so my guess is they're doing just fine already.
