Disappointing Pasta Experience
Overall, I was disappointed. The pasta itself was decent, but the price did not justify the dish. Pasta dishes range from $26 to $27. I ordered the pesto pasta for $21, and for an additional $6, I added burrata, which I regretted. For that price, I received the equivalent of a tablespoon of burrata. There were four of us: one beer, one glass of wine (the children drank water), and four pasta plates, totaling $150. I found this to be excessive. However, the staff was friendly and the setting was pretty.

Delicious Food and Great Service!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely wonderful. The hostess was friendly and seated us at a nice table in the back. Justice, our server, was incredibly helpful with his recommendations. The food was delicious, and the cocktails were equally delicious. The atmosphere was great, and I'm eager to return to try their pizzas.

Authentic Italian with Great Service
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. They serve authentic Italian cuisine that is not revisited, made with genuine products. The staff was very kind and friendly. Considering it's San Francisco, the prices were not exaggerated, especially in relation to the quality of service provided.

Impressive Pizza, Pasta, and Cocktails!
My experience at the restaurant was very positive. I was particularly impressed by the pizza and pasta. The Mule at Capri cocktail was also exceptionally good. Furthermore, Erick at the bar provided top-notch service. I would return specifically to visit him and enjoy his cocktails.

Happy Hour Pasta and Tiramisu Delight
During happy hour, the restaurant was not crowded, and the service was fast. We enjoyed several appetizers and the three pastas offered on the happy hour menu. The pesto pasta was my favorite. For dessert, we had the tiramisu, which was so good we finished it in under 2 minutes.

Absolutely Outstanding Fresh Pasta!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely outstanding! I can confidently say this is one of the best fresh pastas I have had in the city. I ordered the Arrabiata, and my fiancé had the clam Vangale. Honestly, I'm afraid I'll never try anything else because it was so insanely good! The food was exceptional, and the service and atmosphere were also top-notch, both receiving a perfect 5/5.

Amazing Service and Delicious Lobster Ravioli!
My experience at the restaurant was amazing! The service was outstanding, and having pizzas as the appetizer for our large party was a fantastic idea. The lobster ravioli was absolutely incredible – holy cow!

Italian Food: Service Good, Food Mediocre
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the service was good and the waiter was really nice, the food was just fine, nothing spectacular. I ordered a pasta, a Cesar Salad, and a pizza. The pasta sauce was a little watery, and the Cesar dressing was heavy on the anchovies, which was a bit fishy for my liking. The pizza was pretty standard. I believe there is much better Italian food elsewhere, and if I were back in SF, I'd skip this place.

Disappointing Service, Good Gelato
I initially chose this restaurant because it looked appealing, but I regretted my decision almost immediately. The server exhibited a very bad attitude, evident in their facial expressions, making us feel inferior. They failed to offer additional bread or inquire about cheese or chili peppers. In contrast, another Latino waiter was attentive, offering us everything and clearing the lemon gelato served afterward. It's understandable why the restaurant was so empty, especially with the added fee for dining in. When questioned, the server cited healthcare and restaurant support, as if the already pricey food wasn't sufficient. I must admit, the gelato was very good, significantly better than the food itself.

Authentic Italian with a Lovely Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was quite positive. It's a good place with a lovely atmosphere and authentically Italian food. The menu offers big variety, and the food was pretty tasty, prepared freshly made with intriguing accompaniments. While the service was a bit slow, it was still rated highly. It's not the absolute best in the area, but it's definitely worth the visit.
