    We flew into San Francisco during the atmospheric river for a 70th birthday celebration. The weather was disappointing but our waiter was over the top great. He was friendly, informative and made the night special. The whole staff made us feel welcome and the food was outstanding. We even received a special birthday treat! Highly recommend this restaurant!

    We walked here after seeing a play at the Curran! The place is small but cozy. We had the pear salad, meatballs and got the main entrees - lasagna, gnocchi and a clam linguine. Everything was delicious. The waiter suggested an Italian wine that was wonderful with the dinner and no headache the next day. For desert, we had lemon cake and cream brûlée! The brûlée was extra delicious!
