    Exellent dinner after a show at the Curran Theatre. Two of us had red snapper that was delicious, two had steak that was excellent, and one had eggplant parmesan that was great. Bathroom needed some attention.

    This is an excellent "have-to-know" location for a great dinner with friends and family. The area is quaint and adjacent to many options for post-dinner dining. Food is always stellar. Service is on par. History is even better.

    Classic Italian! On every trip to the San Francisco Bay Area, this is a must stop. Traditional restaurant with a nice menu of classic Italian dishes and good attentive service. The menu is not overwhelming, but a very nice wine list. Its intimate setting with small tables and white table cloths sets the ambiance. All our food was served exactly as ordered and hot. The proportions are not overwhelming either, but just right. I highly recommend this restaurant!

    Food and service were great. My only issue was that the seating is extremely close. Having an intimate conversation is difficult, but, the food is worth it.
