Ti Piacera - Reviews

My experience at the restaurant was great, especially during their happy hour, which runs from 3 to 6 pm. They offer $2 off beers and apps, and I particularly appreciated the chilled glasses for beer. It's the little things that make a difference!

My experience at this restaurant involved ordering two Bruschetta with Burrata and my son had Linguine Carbonara. We also shared an appetizer-sized Calamari. Each Bruschetta order came with two small crostini and a minimal amount of Burrata. My son found the Linguine Carbonara to be just 'okay, but nothing special. ' We both drank tap water. While the food tasted acceptable, the quantity was insufficient to justify the total bill of $76. 00 before tip. I found the price of $26 for four crostini with a small amount of Burrata to be excessive, especially considering the likely low cost for the restaurant. I'm questioning if I'm missing something, as I don't dine out frequently anymore. While I don't want to be overly harsh, the restaurant needs to offer more to encourage repeat visits. On a positive note, the waiter was nice and pleasant.

My experience at this restaurant was largely positive. It's a great little neighborhood gem with a cool atmosphere and excellent service. The wait staff were particularly great. My only suggestion for improvement would be to play music from the Italian/Mediterranean region, as the 70s/80s soundtrack didn't quite match the vibe.

I can confidently say this was the best carbonara I’ve had in over seven years. As a devoted carbonara lover, I’ve found that discovering a truly well-made version on the West Coast is far more difficult than one might expect. Ti Piacera’s rendition was exceptional—the best I’ve tasted since my time in Italy. I ordered mine without mushrooms or scallions. I highly, highly recommend it. I first visited Ti Piacera with a friend for lunch, and one of the immediate highlights was the atmosphere—it’s a rare pleasure to find a restaurant where you can actually enjoy a conversation without shouting over the noise. The carbonara was so memorable that I found myself craving it all week and ultimately placed a delivery order just to have it again.

My experience at this restaurant was truly wonderful. It's a gem of a place with a beautiful ambience. The food was absolutely divine, authentic, and tasty. I particularly enjoyed the chicken parm and the chicken Marsala. I also had a fab cocktail. I would strongly recommend this lovely stop for anyone visiting San Francisco.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The waiter was friendly and the atmosphere had awesome vibes. I thoroughly enjoyed the food, especially the amazing garlic fries and some of the best Italian Sausage I've had on my pizza. I will definitely be back next time I am in SF!

From the moment we stepped into Ti Piacera, it felt like we had found a warm little slice of Italy in the heart of San Francisco. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a sunny banquette by the large windows that’s perfect for people watching on Polk Street while enjoying the afternoon light. 🌞 We absolutely loved the appetizers, including the creamy Burrata over crostini, crisp Calamari fritti, and deeply caramelized Roasted Brussels sprouts. For entrées, the Grilled salmon with vegetables was cooked perfectly, and the Shrimp over black ink pasta was rich and beautifully plated. We finished with light, creamy, and decadent Truffles and mascarpone for dessert. 🥂 The service was friendly, knowledgeable, and never rushed; our server was attentive without hovering and made thoughtful recommendations. 💁‍♀️ While the price is moderate to slightly upscale ($25–$35 for entrées), it was worth every bite. 💸 If you’re looking for a comforting Italian meal with a touch of elegance and a seat by the window to take in the neighborhood scene, Ti Piacera truly lives up to its name.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The environment was lovely, enhanced by a live music band and a great vibe. The food was absolutely gorgeous and delicious 🫶🫶.

I visited this restaurant for a friend's birthday dinner on a whim and was thoroughly impressed. While I hadn't heard of the place before, I was amazed by the atmosphere, food, and service. Our experience was incredible! There was live music playing, and the owner even personally greeted us at our table. The food was exceptionally fresh and delicious, with the pesto ravioli and the Gorgonzola sauce for the brussels sprouts being particularly memorable. Our server inquired about our celebration, and upon learning it was a birthday dinner, he graciously provided a complimentary Tiramisu for the birthday boy, which was a perfect touch. I have been recommending this place to friends and will continue to do so!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. I was initially hesitant to order the spinach gnocchi, but it was impeccable. The creamy gorgonzola and cream cheese sauce was a perfect balance with the gnocchi. The lamb shanks were cooked to perfection, fell off the bone 👌🏻. The owner provided a warm welcome and created a fun environment. They also offer happy hour every day from 3-6!
