Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Haight

Went for my boyfriends birthday, as a first timer it most definitely won’t be our last! The service from Ian was AMAZING of itself but the food was perfect! Such an awesome experience and we cannot wait to come back with friends and family.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Nopa. Beginning with the bread and butter. All I can say is order it. Next we had the Tortelli which was excellent (not to be missed). We also had the Tagliatelle with the bolognese sauce which was very good. For dessert we had the key lime pie which was good but the ice cream that came for the birthday person was outstanding. Our server who was excellent said it was ginger snap but it didn’t taste like ginger. Best ice cream I’ve ever eaten. Can’t wait to go back for my birthday and have that ice cream.

While the noise level is very high, the food and service is excellent!! The beet salad was possibly the best either of us have ever eaten, the agnolotti is exceptional, and the chocolate desert was rich without over doing it! What a fantastic evening we were able to share at a truly exceptional restaurant in SF. Thanks for making it special.

A new owner has taken over this restaurant and has kept its original name. From what I understand, the former spot did not have a particularly good ambiance or cuisine. The new owner introduces us to the specialities of the Puglia region of Italy including some of his grandmother’s recipes. Each of us four had a different dish and everyone was extremely satisfied. The atmosphere is of a quality, neighborhood dining spot. Highly recommended.

This was an amazing dining experience. We love Indian food, and although we are not versed in “authentic” versus what we’ve experienced in the United States, at the very least these are good quality dishes. The service was impeccable as well. The dining area was super elegant with traditional Indian artwork on the walls, fresh roses on the tables, and a view of the chef preparing food. Thank you!
