Appetizers good, Lasagna disappointing
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The appetizers were good, but the lasagna was a significant disappointment. It tasted like rancid beef and cheap cheese, and it seemed like it had been in the fridge for several weeks, akin to leftovers that should have been discarded. Furthermore, the lasagna was served lukewarm.

Overpriced Tap Water and Rubbery Pizza
My experience was that I paid $15 plus tip (which I didn't give) for a Campari soda made with tap water. The pizza was like rubber. Bah.

Disappointing Experience, Except for Bruschetta
My experience at this restaurant was largely disappointing. It felt like an off night, perhaps a night for new chef training, with the food not quite hitting the mark. The pastas seemed unbalanced, and the drinks were ridiculously expensive. However, the Bruschetta was delicious, which prevented a one-star rating. The atmosphere was marred by loud, blaring EDM music, contributing to a "tourist trap" vibe. This was further suggested by the lack of patrons when the rest of the street was busy.

Best Pizza and Top Service!
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. The service was top-notch, with staff who were smile-ing, welcoming, and efficient. I was even able to charge my phone, which was a very nice touch from the very nice staff! The Pizza was hands down the best in town, and the dough was so delicious. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

Great Pizza, Friendly Service
While there was a peccato for the absence of lactose-free and vegan mozzarella, we were still able to personalize our pizza to our liking thanks to the availability of vegan-friendly toppings. The variety isn't huge, but it's enough to find a satisfying option. We really enjoyed the pizza, it almost reminded us of Italian pizza for a moment. The staff was very courteous, and the environment was well-maintained and clean. We will gladly return!

Delicious Pizza, Best in San Francisco!
My experience was truly delicious! The pizzas were succulent, earning a perfect 10/10. I believe this is the best pizza place in San Francisco, and I can only imagine the rest of the menu is just as good, though I didn't get to try anything else. The atmosphere was rated 5, and the service was also a perfect 5. It's a quiet place, making it easy to talk. The food itself received a 5-star rating.

Authentic Italian Flavors in America
What an authentic and unforgettable experience! In this restaurant, I rediscovered the true flavors of Italy. The ingredients were fresh, the dishes were prepared with care, and the attention to detail was evident in every bite. The pasta was homemade, cooked to perfection, and tossed with rich yet balanced sauces. The pizza was light and fragrant, with that unmistakable wood-fired oven aroma that instantly transports you to Italy. The staff was warm and welcoming, always ready to recommend Italian wines that perfectly complemented the dishes. The atmosphere was elegant yet familiar, ideal for both a romantic dinner and a lunch with friends. If you're looking for a true Italian restaurant in America, this place is a must-visit. It's not just food; it's a journey through Italian flavors and traditions.
