    The service was impeccable. The noise was horrible. Conversation was out of the question. Valet service was excellent . Food was good. The noise was beyond “energetic “, it was excruciating .

    Have been going to Cotogna for quite a few years, very consistent, perfect when you go to the Embarcadero cinema, lunch or dinner with friends, is opened through the day which makes it very convenient. Love their pasta and steak!!!! Delia

    Food was great - but loud, overcrowded - on top of the next table. Hard to hear your own conversation.

    I could only get a 9:45 pm Rez on Saturday but it was definitely worth it. Started the meal off with Kampachi Crudo with Oro Blanco, radish & mint and a hint of citrus which was superb. Raw fish & radishes are an awesome combination I would not have thought of but works very well. Wood-fired Sopressata & Brussel Sprout pizza, Agnolotti del plin (veal, pork & rabbit) pasta & dessert were spot on, but the Bistecca Alla Fiorentina (porterhouse) was the highlight! Delicious & melt in your mouth tender. (I apologize for the candlelight photos - doesn't do the food Justice).

    Quite enjoyed our recent dinner at Cotogna. The prosciutto and gnocco frito appetizer was surprising and generous. Pizza really good with the best thin crust. Enjoyed the rabbit dish; the bean side was great and porky, but the rabbit, although moist and tender, was not as flavorful as expected. Service was efficient. Pretty small glasses of usual draft beer. The wine list was certainly more creative than the beer list.
