Excellent service. Great value. Lively atmosphere. Will come again. Grilled octopus was terrific. Linguine with clams cooked perfectly and piping hot. Fresh sourdough bread. Street parking is difficult so best to Uber or Lyft or be prepared to walk up and down Telegraph Hill.

It was our mistake for not saying something when our food arrived :( The ambiance and location in North Beach were great, and our server was very nice and accommodating but the food value and quality were just not it- wouldn't go back.

The Caesar salad is perfect to share. Full of flavor. The spaghetti neri with clams & squid was excellent. And our server was very helpful in wine selection & attentiveness. We will definitely return.

We asked about it when the dish was delivered, but the server just laughed at us. The dish was described as having a lobster sauce and that it came with a side of mashed potatoes but it looked like a dish that was a regular item on the menu (with lemon and caper sauce and came with a side of asparagus).
