    Like some far flung outpost of North Beach, this 'old school' Italian is a step back in time. Kitschy decor galore - but the food is good and authentic, as is the hostess' sincere 'grazie' and 'prego'

    I don't know why this was rated 7.3. It's clearly in the 9 category. The ravioli was amazing. The pasta was so fresh. The sausage was divine. The serving size was a little small. But so worth it!

    Magnificent. Have been disappointed by Italian food so much in the city, but this place is delectable. The Lasagnetta is incredible. Quima Vignabaldo is prefect as well. Definitely nom here.

    I really enjoyed my meal. Its just solid Italian-American food. A bunch of other comments say cash only but it's not true. They take credit cards and reservations on OpenTable.

    My go-to Italian place in SF for over 6yrs. Delicious fresh made pasta. Gnocchi is my fav, but many other delicious pasta dishes are available too.

    Italian, charming european place! Romantic and cosy. Traditional pizza, great pasta selection, good wine, fresh bread with olive oil.

    Some of the best Italian food I've had! The candle-lit atmosphere was perfect, and as far as I could tell, I could have been in Italy!

    Not sure why the ratings are not that good. It’s a very nice, cozy Italian restaurant very centrally located. Lamb chops and tiramisu were good. Service was attentive.

    Had the carbonara. Not 100% authentic (it's Italian-American) but it was delicious

    I loved the Pasta Primavera here. I know ... basic dish ... but many restaurants screw it up. This one doesn't. Very small restaurant but more cozy than cramped.

    Horrible place. Dark & hot. Bland overpriced food! Propriator adds auto tip of 15% to your bill and doesn't even tell you about it, just presents it on an unreadable chicken scratch handwritten paper

    They accept credit cards, but wouldn't split the bill onto two or more cards.
