The food here is outstanding as well as the people. We ate outside but they have heaters so it wasn’t too cold. Oyster Po Boy, mussels, clam linguini. I had the linguini and it was really one of the best pastas I’ve ever had. I think because it was the broth, packed with so much savory flavor. Tons of quality clams, the toasted garlic bread soaking up the broth was bomb. You could tell their table bread was freshly made as well. At the table next to us (i think the owner) brought out a fresh dead fish with his fingers to show his catch for the Branzino he was going to cook for them.

Delicious, filling portions of fresh seafood – Italian style. The sourdough starter they give you with butter, or dipped in oil and balsamic is so tasty! I recommend the blackened scallops, fish tacos and mussels. And both these dishes came with more sour dough – this time in the form of garlic bread! The owners are very friendly and really appreciate and look after their customers. The place has an old-school, welcoming vibe.

Unbelievably good Italian seafood! The owner was a riot with his stories and descriptions of the food. Really generous wine pours and we all enjoyed the food greatly. Also a great value, four dinners and drinks for $150. If I lived in downtown SF, I’d be there at least once a week. Highly recommended!

Truly one of the best meals I’ve ever had… Evelyn and her husband have created a restaurant that delivers in all aspects – atmosphere, drinks, food, service, etc.

SO GOOD. We ordered fresh halibut cooked with some garlic, lemon, and capers. It came so delicious with potatoes, polenta and vegetables that we were literally sopped up the plate juice with the yummy bread. Can’t wait to return. Excellent service. The Chef is amazing!

Oyster is not too fishy, salsa balance the flavor quite well. The chowder is very creamy I like it. Octopus on the salad is hot, the salad is seasoned with a little vinegar. The pasta I think is too wet, but has a lot of seafood inside and they’re very huge! The lobster roll tastes nice, better with lemon. A little bit expensive but delicious.

Incredible place, outstanding food, quality, amount, flavors, atmosphere…we felt like in a top European Island. The best fish in the US and Franky the owner provide great recommendations. Finally, very cheap place, it is half or less of the price of any other SF restaurant.

Scared by the huge crowd at pier 39, we decided to walk inward for 10 mins to a highly rated Italian restaurant, and glad that we did that. First of all, it was a charming little restaurant and with very friendly and patient staffs. We have to the lobster roll that came with a small cup of clam chowder, and the calamari. The lobster roll was quite different from what I have had before, as it came with much source that made the bread soggy. It was overall quite nice though the lobster was a little salty to my liking. The clam chowder was superb on the other hand. Personally i would think it was as good if not better than those found in fisherman’s wharf. The calamari was one of the best we ever eaten. Crispy and fresh, and the fried lemon and chili were a pleasant surprise. Great meal overall

The fish and chips is definitely the best value on the menu. The sourdough bread they serve is so good! The fried prawns Intrigued us but I would not recommend nor order again. It was really hard to eat and the shell wouldn’t come off. The creamy garlic seafood pasta was good but could’ve used a little bit more flavor. The netting on the lemons to keep the seeds in is genius! Our waitress was really nice and was attentive to us.
