Contigo is a Spanish and Catalan tapas restaurant in the Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco. Our menu features rustic dishes inspired by the vivid flavors of Barcelona. In addition, we offer artisanal Spanish and American hams and a daily Catalan coca (flatbread) from our wood burning oven. We cook everything from scratch using the products of our local, organic, and humane farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and artisans.

The restaurant was closed when we showed up. The business closed a week ago and we showed up last night for my Wife’s birthday with no heads up that they went out of business. Why didn’t I get a heads up????

Contigo did not notify me about the private event they were having the night I had booked my dinner reservations. They turned me and my party away because of a personal matter, but the woman I spoke to was not professional at all. I wanted to support their business seeing that I had learned a few days ago they were closing. They should have reached out to me; apparently they “tried” to reach everyone who had reservations. I received zilch on their end. I wasted my time. I’m glad I did not give them my money. I ended up going to an establishment who was indeed worthy of my business.

This is so sad - we had reservations for their closing night but they called to say there was a death in the Contigo family so they weren't doing a farewell service. This was one of my favorite restaurants. The service was always prompt, polite and efficient. The food was delicious and for what you got I think it was reasonably priced. No complaints about the place at all, except I wish I could have had that last meal. I wish them well and hope to get to their new place in Santa Cruz. Somos contigo Contigo.

Great neighborhood restaurant! Tapas are excellent and reasonably priced. The paella was amazing! They say it’s good for 2-4 people but I could eat the whole pan by myself! But seriously if you’re planning on sharing with 3 other people, get lots of tapas!

Jamon was thin sliced like prosciutto , waiter talked too much, too often, had attitude (as in “we serve Spanish wine here” after I tried to order a Malbec). Interesting dishes with unexpected flavors, I expected dishes to repeat a recent jamon iberico experience from Sevilla and that was not happening

Excellent food. The 7 tapas tasting menu was great. Loved the squid especially. Service was knowledgeable and charming. Seating is a little tight.

The food was good but the ambiance was a problem. The main problem with Contigo was the hard seats which were quite uncomfortable. The noise level was also much higher then I liked. And, we were seated next to the door to the deck and we had a cold breeze over us for most of the dinner. We asked that the door be closed and it was initially closed, but as servers went through the door, they left it open and we had a cold breeze over our table for most of the evening. I do not like cold, noisy uncomfortable restaurants. The only reason we went to Contigo was that we were given a gift certificate. Otherwise, we would not have chosen to go to Contigo.

The service was great, nice, quick and friendly. The food was even better. The plates were delicious and came out as described. I would consider this a find in Noe Valley. It's a lively place with great food.
