Adorable little spot in North Beach that transports you right to Italy :’) The chef and owner is so charismatic and charming, and made us feel so welcome. Their pasta dishes are so down-to-earth, and a great option for when you’re just feeling like some traditional, homey italian food. I loved their carbonara, the beef ragu was so tender and flavorful, and the gnocchi perfectly pillowy. It’s also one of the few remaining spots in the city that gives you complimentary bread, which scores them a ton of points in my book. Will definitely be returning soon!

We had the perfect Pasta today. Aldente, a fantastic Sugo and very good taste. The staff is very friendly and they know what they are doing in the kitchen. It was one of the best pasta dishes out of italy we ever had!

Seriously the best Italian food I had in the US so far! The sauce of the ravioli is so good I almost ordered a second serving. My friend ordered the carbonara and she said it was also amazing. Tiramisu was delicious and definitely worth trying. As someone who often feel American desserts are too sweet, the taste is quite delicate and really similar to the ones I had in Italy. I would definitely return if I travel to San Francisco again. Totally worth the high ratings!

This was the best Italian food i’ve had. We ordered the mushroom gnocchi with truffle and agnolotti with mushrooms and cream!!! it was excellent homemade pasta, and the gnocchi was light and fluffy. The portions weren’t huge but very filling and tasty. The bread was also fresh and warm, very tasty. Our server was so nice, even though the restaurant was packed. We also ordered the caprese salad, tiramisu and panna cotta. Don’t skip dessert here! It wasn’t too sweet and you could taste the quality of the ingredients!

The service here is the best we’ve had while visiting SF! Walked by in the afternoon and just happened to run into the chef/owner. He chatted a little with us and we told him we were in town for an anniversary.

This was the best meal I’ve had in San Francisco. The food was simple but delicious. The pasta was absolutely amazing. The service was incredible and there were no complaints from all 4 dishes that my party ordered. Appetizers were just as good as well as the desserts. Incredible food. Highly highly highly recommend.
