    We are from Florida and we fond this restaurant by doing a search online for the top rated Italian restaurants in the Bay area. We selected this one because of the Crudo selection and the option to choose a variety for tasting. This did not disappoint. We selected the Oysters, Scallops and Blue Fin Tuna. The Oysters were creamy and the scallops and tuna were tender, full of flavor and did not disappoint. For dinner we ordered the popular Spaghetti, Cantabria anchovy, caramelized onion butter and Rigatoni, duck sugo, brussels sprouts, parmigiano reggiano. Both plates were cleaned! It was very delicious and memorable. The staff work as a big team and are very attentive - even with having a huge table of 16 to tend to. The folks in he kitchen were gong non stop and put out perfection! You wont be disappointed having a meal here!

    Intimate neighborhood restaurant. Beautifully decorated. Excellent value. Friendly and competent service. The owner is actively on-site. I will return again. Discovered the restaurant through the owner’s brother who has Piccolo Forno on Columbus Ave. Another superb restaurant.

    This is an excellent CAVIAR TASTING! They think of everything you need to savor each of their Caviars. We have been seated with Tim last 2 times. He is so thoughtful, personable, & experienced in Caviar Service. We also enjoyed Jaden & Moses helping with our service. Be sure to order dessert! It’s exceptional. Great place for birthday celebrations! We like to come every time we are in SF!
