    Negroni, focaccia, and risotto. To share. What could be better?
    Larry C.

    Great spot for a weekend lunch in the sun. Classic flavors and mellow atmosphere with good service. We split the risotto for brunch and got an extra side of focaccia, delicious all the way around. We especially liked the meat sauce on the risotto. I also got their "infinity" Negroni and sadly it does mean you get refills ;) because that aged mellowness was a notch above.

    Salmon tartine

    Good food, but disappointing service We enjoyed the Salmon tartine, and the Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese was pretty good, although it was somewhat oily and the portion felt a little small for the price. Unfortunately, the service really put a damper on the lunch. No one seemed to come by to check on us, and servers would walk past our table without checking in. I had to ask several times just to order, get a menu, and even get a spoon. The final straw was the arancini. We were told it would take about 10 minutes, which was fine, so we ordered them. We waited patiently, but when the server eventually brought the bill, I asked, "What about the arancini?" He looked surprised and realized they had simply forgotten to put the order in. I'm not sure if they were short-staffed, but the service was extremely slow and inattentive. I've been to restaurants that are considerably less expensive with much better service. At this price point, I expected more. There were some good dishes, but unfortunately the overall experience wasn't one that would have me rushing back.

    I've been here a couple of times and the food is always solid. Nothing to write home about but there's usually reservations available the day before and it's a good place to bring folks for very decent pasta.

    Lunch
    Edie N.

    Light and airy Italian restaurant in the Fillmore district of San Francisco with indoor and outdoor seating. What I love most about this place is the floor to ceiling glass windows/entrance that allows a lot of natural light in. We stopped in after doing some shopping as other places nearby had a wait. Pro: No reservation needed for lunch as there were plenty of seats available. Service was extremely bland with us and not attentive at all. It felt personal (as we were the only people of color in there) our waiter walked past us multiple times without checking in on us. Unsure if we were overthinking it, we watched her interaction with other tables next to us where she was more charismatic and joyful with other guests but when it came to us she made zero eye contact, couldn't suggest anything on the menu and slid our check on our table before we could tell her we'd like another cocktail. Very odd honestly and probably won't be back because of how unwelcomed we felt. Now food. We looked up photos of the lunch menu items and they didn't look extremely appealing so we went with some safe bets: bolognese and tortellini all panna (also since our waiter could not recommend a single thing when we asked). Bolognese was not bad! The beef and pork ragu had a good consistency but could have used a dash of salt. The tortellini was also decent although the chicken was a little on the dry side. The sauce/cream saved it for sure! Overall, personally would not come back as we felt extremely unwelcome but if you look like their usual demographic/customers I think you'd be alright!

    Classic Negroni
    Rachel H.

    The atmosphere at The Tailor's Son is lively. It's a nice place for drinks and food after work. With light from windows facing Fillmore in the old Elite Cafe space, it's a handsome setting with high ceilings, a full length bar, and a combo of cafe tables and long communal tables. We started with a classic Negroni (they have a creative Negroni menu) and a Golden Thread, a mix of blanco tequila, saffron, fennel, honey, lemon, and rose foam. The wagyu crostini arrived, and the meal stumbled when a random black hair appeared on the plate. To the server's credit, when we pointed it out, the response was quick. The dish was whisked away, replaced and comped. It was followed by a chicory salad with pear, pecans, and gorgonzola, a rich trumpet mushroom pasta and an unexpected gift: lobster pasta with lobster tail in a lobster pomodoro. It was a peace offering, in light of the earlier snafu. The quick recovery, replacing the offending dish and taking it off the bill, and then offering one of their best pastas as a gift (this is how to fix things & reboot trust!) reset the experience for us, smoothing over a dining misstep, and making for a memorable meal.

    Veal agnolotti
    Alice C.

    We wanted to like TS more but we've had better Italian food in SF. Ordered the focaccia, prosciutto and Caesar to start. All solid, the star was these puffy fried dough balls with the meat plate. Pasta was hit or miss. Veal agnolotti amazing, bolognese was too heavy on the sage and duck risotto lacked overall flavor and depth. Tiramisu was also solid. Service was delayed. Our main waiter was distracted the whole time and we found it bizzare that they took our wine/cocktail glasses but didn't ask us if we wanted another. Busers were efficient and aplenty. The restaurant was packed and lively on a very wet and stormy Saturday night so maybe it was just an off night?

    Brunch menu as of 04/05/2026
    Brandi H.

    My friends and I made a reservation for Easter Sunday brunch on OpenTable. Super easy to do so. We made it for 11 am and the place filled up pretty much at opening. The interior was very eye catching. We all loved the color palette and the aesthetics. INSALATA DI PERE (4/5): We ordered a salad for the table. This had chicories, pear, pecans, pomegranate, and gorgonzola. We loved the pecans. OMELETTE (4/5): The omelette had fennel sausage, kale, fontina with a side of breakfast potatoes, toast, and fall greens. The kale was nicely cooked inside. Loved the toast. I would come back to see their dinner menu. I want to try one of their pastas. I also got a non-alcoholic drink which was nice and lemony. Would've liked if they had a mimosa on the menu. They also have a 5% surcharge for employee benefits.

    Tortellini alla panna, insalata de pere
    Katrina S.

    Beautiful interior and is always bustling, a fun date night or dinner with the girls spot. Had a reservation but was ignored by the hostess for a while after waiting at the door which was a bad experience, but the waiter once seated was friendly and attentive. The food came very fast. We got a few apps including the burrata crostini and insalata de pere. The tortellini alla panna was the standout and a good portion size.

    Negroni Caffè
    Andrew I.

    Visiting SF for the weekend and tailor's son caught my eye for place to stop by, did not disappoint at all. Kicked off with some cocktails (see pictures): delicious, not overly boozy but you still get a bit of a kick from the alcohol. Presentation is nice as well, highly recommend diving into their Negroni list. Got the Forcaccia (side olive oil with garlic, nice kick not overwhelming), burrata crostino (who doesn't like pistachios, honey, and burrata on bread?), and polenta braise (cheesy smooth goodness that mixes well with the pork and egg). Finished with tiramisu, which was delicious and not overly sweet. Service was on point and the servers were very attentive. Overall, great spot to check out in the Filmore.

    papadelle with rage
    Henry L.

    One of the cutest restaurants in SF. I love the ambience and decor. The bar is beautiful, and they have a super charming wall of Italian digestifs/liquor boxes displaying their vibrant collection. seats/tables in themselves are an experience just to dine in. love it. food was very tasty. my partner and I got the Caesar salad, carbonara, and papadelle with ragu for Sunday lunch. Both dishes were very tasty and the staff offered chili flakes to top. very nice. the staff came around and also made sure we had enough water. will be back!

    Seasonal Salad
    Shannon C.

    Finally tried The Tailor's Son on Fillmore in Pac Heights and really enjoyed it. The bolognese was the standout, so good I forgot to take a photo before digging in. The zero-proof mocktails were also a highlight; I had a spicy, margarita-style drink that I'd absolutely order again. The seasonal salad was refreshing, though I didn't notice the pear slices listed on the menu. The focaccia and tapenade were solid, and we left very full by the end of dinner. Service was quick and friendly and we were able to walk in and get an indoor table on a packed Friday night thanks to their efficient table turnover. The space was warm and well lit, and the bathrooms were very clean. Would definitely come back!

    Vibes
    Esther W.

    Came back for dinner and it did NOT disappoint!! Staff were wonderfully accommodating when we wanted to adjust our reservation (reservations strongly recommended). The meatball appetizer was delicious and cocktails were fantastic. I ordered the mushroom ravioli and others in my party offered various pastas. All delicious. The highlight of the night was truly the tiramisu - it was incredible !!! Great vibes all around, we will be back.

Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it

The presumed manager then came over and rather snippily informed us she can't just "ask a table to stop talking", which of course, was misrepresenting our request and framing it as something unreasonable. IMO if you aren't able to speak to guests with kindness & understanding, even if you're unable to accommodate a request, you should maybe rethink your role in hospitality.   We settled on moving outside, which was totally fine, and finished our meal there. We then come to realize the staff knew the loud table next to us. It definitely left us feeling that their personal friendships were prioritized over kindness and respect toward other guests. Food was good but I am unlikely to return!

Friendly bartender and good cocktail menu, they also have a kitchen for small bites. I am definitely coming back!
