L’Ottavo seems to be trying, but the attention is not on details. They serve bread and packaged butter to start; it reminded me of a grocer bread and was not warm, but it was soft. It was served with the gold package individual butters so nothing exciting.

If I could give this Restaurant a Michelin I would in a heartbeat. One of the best Seafood Risotto that I have ever eaten. Come here for the atmosphere and leave fully satisfied. Service is impeccable and their staff is very attentive. I will definitely come back and visit again.

This seemed like a nice restaurant but it made you think twice. When calling to make the reservation and to confirm it, they answered ‘hello’ and with no business name.

The bruschetta we had as an appetizer was warm, which I didn’t expect, but it wasn’t bad, just unusual and very delicious. As the main course I had the Carbonara, which was slightly overcooked but nicely flavored. It also had peas in it which I didn’t mind but also did not expect.

Shoutout to our server Joseph. The interior is bigger than it looks from the outside. Probably the best Italian spot in Lower Nobhill for me. The food was delicious and the serving portions were very filling for us. I will definitely be back

Nice family atmosphere. The service was great and the food was delicious. We had the seafood risotto and was full of seafood and not much of risotto but extremely good. For dessert the tiramisu was the best one I have ever had.

Great food, great people. Went there for pre theater dinner. The service was warm and friendly. The food exceeded expectations – the calamari was the most tender I’ve had in years and the red sauce was complex. Entrees were great and had more nuanced flavors that you normally get. On top of that, we asked if we could get leftovers to go and pick them up after the show. The restaurant closed a bit early, but the owner stuck around to make sure we could pick up out togo containers, which seems like a superhero level of customer care. All in all very happy to recommend this place and looking forward to returning.

Wonderful dinner and atmosphere. The server was so courteous and helpful which added to our dining experience. And the food was wonderful. I had the lasagna and my husband and I both agreed it was the best lasagna we have ever had in our life.

The food was AMAZING, the best fresh pastas you can get in San Francisco. It was definitely a gem with great service. Alphonso was our waiter and he was very attentive. I’m looking forward to visiting again!
