   I would say the little gem Caesar is one of the best I have had. We didn’t get the pizza as my friend had recommended and that was probably a mistake. But our meals were good. The spaghetti and meatballs were flavorful and delicious. Maybe serve it rather than letting it sit on the warmer? The French dip was super…and huge. The Brussel sprouts were a huge disappointment. The server didn’t say anything as the dish was full when it was taken away (we each had one and left the rest). I guess il we should have noted it to him. Overall, we will go back. Just not getting the Brussel sprouts.

   AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Costumer service was INCREDIBLE! Our friends got lost so were late getting to the reservation time, but the hostess was so kind and seated us anyway. Our Server was incredible, kind and so attentive. The food was OUTSTANDING! We will be back when we visit San Fran again!

   Always a great place for dining. The ambiance, the food and service are all equally exceptional.

   Phenomenal experience from the food to the service! I will let the photos speak for themselves but you can tell they put care into the quality of the food and the ambiance of the restaurant

   Food was great. Service was much slower than usual. Took an extra long time to get the food, refills, and order dessert. I’ve had great service at all of this family’s establishments so this seems like an outlier

    The pizza - excellent. The zucchini fries - Fantastic. Vodka pasta, so good. The service was not good. We checked in and they sat us down. It took a while to get someone to take our order or bring us water or anything. Then we noticed there were two separate couples that got sat after us, one on either side of us, immediately got served chips and water. We never got any. We glanced at a 3rd couple behind my boyfriend (they had just got seated and immediately was served chips as well, while we were still waiting for…someone. We finally ordered an app (zucchini fries) and then maybe 10minutes later the waiter came around again to take our food order. We ordered 1 pizza and 1 pasta. The pasta came out & our app was no where to be seen. I commented on this to our waiter and he brought it out shortly after. We finished the pasta (thankfully we were sharing the pasta and pizza or one us would have either eaten alone or waited and had cold pasta by the time the pizza came out). We finished and then maybe 5-10min after we finished eating the pasta and fries, the pizza came. It was really unfortunate timing and no one seemed apologetic. It didn’t seem like a busy time as many booths behind us were empty and it was 2:45pm on a Sunday. Again, food was incredible but the service was disappointing and I was really looking forward to this incredible meal.
