A disappointing experience. Despite the delightful location, I see no reason to choose this place over any of the other wonderful restaurants in the vicinity.It’s lackluster Italian food — a step above Sbarro.
We just stopped in to have a glass of wine and a snack as we pub crawled our way down to the waterfront to watch the fireworks. The carafe of wine was fine. The caprese was really bad. It's summer in California so there's no excuse why a place would serve horrific unripe tomatoes for their pricey caprese. Little insignificant shreds of basil topped off salad. I had to request some balsamic. The pictures show it AFTER I drizzled balsamic on the salad as it was just served with olive oil and maybe salt. Luckily it was a gorgeous day and it was fun to sit outside but I don't think I would eat a full meal there if they can't even serve a proper caprese in the summer. I mean if it's Alaska and someone orders caprese in winter then maybe this is acceptable. But not in SF.
Decent burgers for the price. We watched the NBA finals here and the vibe was great. Good drinks also.. Will return to try other dishes. They also had extremely friendly staff, thank you so much!
Amazing authentic Italian food! Our server was very friendly, kind, and accommodating as well!
Really fantastic restaurant with very pleasant waiters and attentive busboy. The food was just so nice and really enjoyed sitting outside and watching the hustle and bustle pass by while sipping a lovely glass of wine. Woukd highly recommend.
Very good Italian cuisine. Fabulous pasta with nicely-seasoned meat and sauces. Portions were proper, the server was very friendly and helpful with all the questions.
We had a great dinner at Piazza Pellegrini Sunday night. Very relaxed atmosphere, with attentive service and delicious food. The staff discouraged my wife from ordering a certain pasta dish, telling her she could do better with the ravioli. She said it was delicious. A helpful wine recommendation also came in handy. We’ll be back!
Food was excellent. I had pappardelle pellegrine and the flavour was beautiful. The Caesarea salad to start was good and the affogato to finish perfect. Service very good.
My wife, three very picky-eating daughters and me were exploring San Francisco on foot and popped into this airy North Beach restaurant. Two friendly older Italian men ran and served at the place. Indoor and extensive outdoor seating on a busy neighborhood street across from the Washington Square park and St. Peter and Paul's Church popular with locals. Handmade pasta, fresh baked bread, wine, and much more. Popular with locals and Italian families, and seemed to be good for people out on dates. Food and atmosphere so good that we came back two more times over the next week at my daughters' insistence. This NEVER happens with my family. Beautiful place.
We found this restaurant on the way to the Coit Tower. The food was delicious and the service was excellent.The pastas were very good. I remember that the Alfredo Pasta was very tasty and flavorful. The Fetuccini Bolognase was meaty and tasted really good.The bread was tasty and the soup had some type of bread and gnocchi in it.We liked the outdoor sitting, it is right across to a park.
