Kristin C.Kristin Crist: Best Italian Restaurant in San Francisco, small, cozy and DELICIOUS

Daniel P.Daniel Pearson: Great atmosphere for an intimate date, but it isn't the best Italian I've had (even in the neighborhood). If you're happy with good ambience and good wine over perfect food, this is your spot!

Geoffrey S.Geoffrey Spence: Cozy Italian off the main strip. Good was ok - I ordered the Pavarotti pasta and the chicken was dry, sauce was bland. Stay away from that dish and you'll be good ;)
