    A neighborhood gem. Good vibe as a casual-but-classy "Italian joint" with well made Italian dishes, a good wine list and a waiter that really cared, it was a quiet respite from the streets of SF. Jazz nightly in the other room for an extra fee. We didn't try that this time but may do so in the future.

    We had a group of 12 with various ages and dietary restrictions. From the fried calamari and meatballs, to the pizza and the mushroom and pesto pastas--everything was delicious. Such fresh and homemade tastes throughout. And the service...was fantastic. Incredibly kind, efficient anticipated our needs before we could even request. If you are looking for quality food and service for a group or intimate gathering you won't go wrong with Corzetti. Validated Parking too!

    It was my birthday. Me and my five girlfriends had a table they wanted to seat us at running a bit late. I think the manager was letting us know that we would be seated soon. It was about 30 minutes over our reservation time when we were seated. Luckily we found seats that opened up at the bar because they have a no standing at the bar policy while you wait for your table. Hostess with sweet Server was great Food was excellent, especially the lemon pasta and my birthday dessert! I cannot wait to come back again!

    Food is superb! Our table loved everything we had and the wine selection was small but good and paired well with the flavors. Be sure to check the hours though, they close on the earlier side and when we arrived at 7:30pm for our reservation we were told the kitchen closes soon and last call at the bar was at 8pm. Servers were very nice and friendly, but everything felt rushed and couldn't quite enjoy the full experience. However, great place for Thai food, some of the best I've had in SF, but recommend coming earlier if having dinner.
