good food, excellent service and a pretty cool experience overall. the food was good; i thought my chicken was just a tiny bit dry. my fiance had the salmon that i thought i didn't have enough flavor,…

This utopia is just that...it gives you street cred when you need it and its pathetic that I am just getting to my review. Its true my sister lived right around the corner from this place and never…

Excellent pizza and really friendly delivery guy - pizza comes fast and warm with a yummy crispy crust! I had the turkey ham and pineapple - will be ordering more soon - really reasonable prices too.…

Mmmmm.... panini....   Had a very good mushroom panini sandwich here today.  Such a quaint shop.  Feels very Italian--even down to the sliding ladder they use to stock goods high on the walls.  I will…

Because of the state of mind I was in writing my original review, I will now take the time to clarify and refine my points for liking this place so much:  Tomato basil gravy was slightly sweet,…

Yay! I'm so happy to have such a cozy Italian restaurant in my 'hood.  We just went to Italy a month ago and this place made me feel like I was back there again.  Our server even greeted us with a…

I've been coming here for 15 years or so.   I always get the same thing, the Pork Chops.  I've never had pizza or pasta here but I am sure its good.  The pork chops are better then mamas, and that my…

The only reason I'm yelping this place, is because the manager promised that I would always be able to find a seat here.  I miss it already...and wanna go back!!!      This is hands down the BEST…

Late night pizza to the rescue!  The other night after being convicted of attempted murder of my liver, we thought it best to order a pizza to soak of some of the evidence. I looked all over Yelp for…

We got lucky when we found this place last Friday night while walking from Cal Train to our destination. We were hungry and this placed seemed appealing with it's outside seating area and delicious…

Talk about a go-to.  This is my favorite lunch spot go-to.  Today's menu - (like alot of days) was the chicken parm sandwich.  It's big, it's hot, it's melted mozzarella is fresh and all on the…

I love being introduced to a nice restaurant, especially by people who know great food. The friend that brought me here is very knowledgeable about good food and drinks which are great qualities in my…

I really like having this place just outside my front door.  Coffee is fine... not fantastic, but it's good enough for me if I'm too lazy to make my own. But, the real reasons to come here are 1)…

Good French bistro with a California twist, spoiled only by the air of general panic around lunch time. Best to avoid it completely at peak times, but even during slower times of the day the staff…

Love this restaurant, Italian wine and food in the Mission.  Our first visit was on a busy Friday night, and with reservations we got to our table pretty quickly. Although beforehand we did get to…

This is my new favorite place.   I was wandering south of Market today, a sunny Friday afternoon. Tired of my usual haunts, I spotted what looked like a European sidewalk cafe. I was scoping out the…

I know very little about Italian wine.  Very, very, very little.  Which actually makes going to Bar Bambino immense fun - I just let the server choose all the wine.    Now before you think this is…

I just had the biggest lunch in the history of mankind. I ate so much I cannot even move. I feel and probably look like Jabba the Hut during the middle of his "heavy" phase.  So what I do to help…

I am completely in agreement with Wes M. - the atmosphere suggests a casual bistro, but the prices are more in keeping with a fine dining experience.  I would love for it to go one way or the other.…

Pretty good sandwiches here.

I decided to give this place another chance since it seems like the trend for me lately on my yelp reviews. I was also drawn in because I had seen "prix fixe menu" specials promised on their…

Things I've come into with high hopes and left with broken dreams.... 1. Ford Modelling Audition 2006 2. America's Next Top Model Audition 2008 3. When I looked over at Tony at the urinal last time we…

Desperately searching for food, and having been turned away due to major crowds, E'Angelo was like a sign from heaven calling us into its warm and sweet smelling though cramped space.  Fauzo, our…

The first time I ever at A16 was over a year ago. I was immediately won over by two dishes that I LOVED - the sweet roasted corn and the oven roasted peppers. Well, I don't know WHY, but they've…

Our party of 8 adults (which included 2 chefs and a couple of serious foodies) had 8:00 pm dinner reservations for a birthday celebration Oct. 10th.  A special cake had been delivered for our desert.…

There isn't anything to write home about here. I was pretty disappointed and won't be back for a long time. The food was fair at best and the service was incredibly slow! As a matter of fact, the…

I came to the realization that I like saying "Umbria" a lot more than I like dining at Umbria.  I recently had lunch here after a 5-year hiatus, and I am not in a hurry to go back here again.  If I…

The hostess was more than accommodating to our party of seven (no reservation and we showed up at 11:30 pm).    We ran into a friend at the door who was raving about the roasted game hen.  I was…

They are closed.  I went to Firewood Cafe at the Metreon on Wednesday, September 30 for lunch. As always, it was excellent. The line for ordering was not that long and went really quickly. The rock…

This place is pretty average just a step up from chains like TGI or Ruby Tuesay, but if you stick with simple bar food items, draft beer or wine, they are usually not too bad.  You can be disappointed…

Carb loading is the name of the game the night before running a race. This place was a couple blocks from the hotel  we were staying at so we gave it a try. We ordered the crostini and the bruschetta…

I was completely unimpressed by this place. It is overpriced and the corkage fee is outrageous at $25 a bottle. The cheapest bottle on the wine list is $60.   At around $70 each I expected to either…

This place is fine for anywhere else besides SF. I mean in SF you have all of North Beach to experience great Italian food, why go here?   One plus... I'm not sure exactly how this works but I saw a…

I only go here for deserts, and they are great. Cream puffs, cream puffs, cream puffs!!! How do they make that cream so smooth? I'm getting fatter just writing about this.  I never ate lunch or…

I've been to two 50th wedding anniversaries (my grandparents and my great aunt&uncle) here in the past year. My family owns a warehouse in the flower mart so I guess they're friends with the owner.…

The food is delicious!  I have no idea why this place only has 3 stars on Yelp when there are plenty of janky, mediocre restaurants that are rated better.  So weird.  But maybe I feel this great about…

I liked it! I've only been there once (pushing two months ago) but I got some sort of chicken breast, with broccoli. It was really good! This place is very authentic Italian.   pros: - nice…

This has got to be the worst expensive pizza i've ever had.  The womens shitter wasn't working properly this night, so i ended up sharing the mens john with some drunk bitches.... they ended up…

Their pizza was pretty good.  They do serve alcohol in the mall!  That was pretty cool.  The people were nice and the food didn't take too long to come out.  They gave us the wine immediately.  This…

I can't believe I haven't written a review of Zuppa.  One of my girlfriends used to live right around the corner, so I have enjoyed many dinners at this charming, understated restaurant.  I'm actually…
