   In town from NYC. Old school Italian restaurant in SF. A GEM! Hope to come again next time we are in town.

   Caprese was a scrumptious app! Appreciated the freshly baked bread. And, the bruschetta, green salad, spaghetti and meatballs, and after dinner cafe drinks were delicious! You feel very invited from the moment you enter until departure. Service is kind, efficient and professional. Other than the tired looking window treatments (which have their own old world charm), this place is a gem which many already know and more should know. If your soul and belly need nourishing, head to Cesario's! Hope to be back many times. There is nearby pkg and location is perfect for pre theatre meal.

   Table set up and ready upon our arrival. Service, spot on. The food was outstanding. Each Entree came paired with a particular Risotto, or Pasta. We were allowed during ordering to trade out a Risotto or Pasta for another selection. Pretty much, everyone cleaned their plates :)

   The rest. was quite crowded. There are tables everywhere and very little room between them. We were seated immediately(had a reserv.). The waitress came fairly soon but the wait for the food was longer than I llke. I had the Salmon Piccatta which was OK(farm-raised I found out). The sauce was not a plus. The spinach was not very edible. The mashed potatoes I had subbed for the risotto were fine. My wife had Chicken Marsala and liked it very much, especially the marsala sauce. It came with vegs. and pasta underneath. Suggestion:if you are having wine, get a 1/2 bottle. It costs the same as 2 glasses and you get more for your $$.

    La comida estaba bien, el lugar pequeño pero bonito. Lo único a una cuenta de 140 dólares nos agregaron cerca de otros 50 dólares en fee y otras cosas. Y además de eso pedían si querías agregar propina. Muy costoso resultó.
