   They shrank the menu which I guess saves them money, but it makes the food less attractive

   The Marina location has taken a great thing (the original Montesacro) and made it better! The Pinsas are still amazing, and now there is a lot more wonderful food reaching deeper into their Roman roots. Interesting and well-curated wine list and knowledgeable, friendly servers rounded out a wonderful meal. I just wish I had left room for dessert!

   Sadly had a bad experience at a place I used to like. Made a reservation for me and wife for valentines which included a menu with wine pairing. Arrived at the restaurant and was told they were out of it , but “if really wanted chef can make something” .. okay. Proceded to order from menu, they were out of the dishes I ordered. Then staff brought one of the dishes I was told they were out? .. left overs? It did not look appealing.. server noticed and started bringing more free plates on the house , flavors were not there and also ruined what could’ve been a great dining experience

   Ciao Juan, We’re truly sorry your Valentine’s Day experience didn’t go as expected. We understand how frustrating it was to find the special menu unavailable and experience confusion with your orders. That’s not the level of service we strive for, and we sincerely apologize. To clarify, we never serve leftovers, and the dish appearing later was due to a miscommunication.

   Maybe it was an off night; reservation at 6:30 and we have to pick up a kiddo at 8:30pm on 31 Jan. - Seated promptly - Drinks in 15 minutes - Bread to the table at 45 minutes - Forgot our appetizer; offered to remove it from the bill but provided it. (Thank You) - Main course brought at 7:30; informed waiter we needed to leave at 8:15 to pick up kiddo - Ordered dessert to go at 8:00 and requested check - Check received and paid w/tip. - Noticed (after paying) that several courses on our check were not ours (my wife is observant); the appetizer was not on the bill but two other appetizers were - Informed the waiter. - 8:20: no dessert, no adjustment to check - 8:25: dessert brough, not adjustment to check (we paid ~$25 for someone else's meal) Wait staff was very good so assume this was an off night- my bad for not more carefully reviewing the check.....

   Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re truly sorry for the delays and mix-ups during your visit. Unfortunately, we did experience some issues in the kitchen that evening, which affected timing and service, and we sincerely apologize for that. Regarding the check, we regret not catching the mistake right away, but we did adjust it before the end of the night, ensuring you paid the correct amount. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we’re grateful for your kind words about our staff. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a smoother experience next time. Please reach out directly to me at 415-829-7737.

   This place use to be one of our go-to restaurants but on our last visit, the menu had totally changed as had the chef. We used to go for the excellent pinsas, but now the pinsa options were drastically reduced and a lot of our favorite dishes were gone. The food was ok, but not as good as it had been (e.g., the original pinsas and octopus). They also used to accommodate a butter pasta for kids, but this time made it seem like a difficult unusual request. Moreover the saddest part was the decline in the ambiance. The mood of the place was desolate, depressed, no energy with disgruntled staff yelling and overall not an enjoyable environment or experience. Sadly, we will have to find another place for pinsas/pizzas.

   Our servers were delightful- but we were very disappointed that our favorite dessert - pistachio cream on pinsa dough - had been taken off the menu and a new chef was now “entree forward.” My pork shoulder meal was outstanding.
