    Absolutely fantastic neighborhood Italian spot! Specials are always amazing and the sausage/mushroom pasta is the best I've ever eaten. Fresh homemade bread and wonderful service. Will be going back next trip to SF.

    We came back! A few months ago, we stumbled in for a drink and dessert. But this place made an impression on us so this time we came back for dinner. We had wine, two appetizers, a salad and two pastas. We love the calamari. Fresh and delicious. The burrata bruschetta was great as well. Pasta-wise, my friend likes her daily special pasta while I like my spinach pesto pasta. Also, we got the tiramisu to share again because it was yummy. When we first entered the restaurant, there weren't that many diners, but the place filled up fast. The outside dining room by the door was also packed due to a big birthday dinner celebration. On a side note, my phone battery was drained from my frequent use and I needed some charge so I can call a car later. I brought my charger but of course, it doesn't work when it's plugged, so one of the nice waiter/staff (sorry I didn't get his name) helped me out by charging it for me as we ate dinner. Really appreciate!
