I absolutely love this place! The food is so savory and just so darn delicious. I love the small Italian cafe vibe and the neighborhood is great! My boyfriend and I came here 6 months ago and I can’t stop thinking about the butternut squash raviolis! It was a rainy night and the restaurant lit candles on the table and the experience was for us was romantic and memorable. I’m for sure planning another weekend trip to the city so I can return here for sure.

The carbona flavor was very good, but the pasta texture was lacking. It was kinda soft. Gnocchi was delicious with every bite.

Dining alone, no problem the staff and customers alike are most welcoming! I stopped by on my way back from a rain soaked walk and the meatballs app and lasagna were excellent. Across from me a group of Italian exchange students were celebrating a birthday party and shared a pice of excellent chocolate cake, too ! Such a nice time

It's very basic. Good enough. But not great.

Overall not a bad place but nothing to write home about. Everything was good but not great. Strange smell of vomit that I think was a mixture of a bad cleaning product and cheese from the kitchen?

The host (Joey, I think) was an absolute angel. The food was nothing short of spectacular. But when it came to our table service (Amen, I think), it just felt kind of jaded, a bit rude, and short. Don’t get me wrong, he wasn’t mean, but it just felt like a bit of an mis/match with everything else. This place has a lot going for it- I just think (hey management, are you listening?) they need to trim the fat, shed dead weight and breathe a bit of new life and fresh energy into the place with some cool, welcoming servers. Would I come back? Sure, if someone like Joey was our server!

I like to come here often, it's a cool cozy cafe for a romantic dinner and just to talk.

They don't take reservations which I knew befor going. Once we arrived I put my name on the waiting list and was told that the wait would be 30 to 40 minutes. The actual wait was 1 hour and 20 minutes. And once seated we waited another 10 minutes for the server to take our order and then another 20 minutes for the food to come. And we had ordered pasta which we were told was the food that would come.the quickest. Once we finished we asked for the check which took another 10 minutes to arrive. We had a concert to attend so we left without dessert or coffee.

A cosy Italian restaurant serving authentic dishes. Expect to wait (no reservations) but definitely worth it. A welcoming ambiance with a warmly lit interior and an outdoor seating area with a heater for the cooler weather.
I had the Pollo Alla Parmigiana which was nicely presented and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend.

We were seated right away which is unusual for a Saturday night, the food was amazing and our waiter brought a complimentary tiramisu for my birthday... Best birthday ever on the top is the mark, big 4, fairmont, Nob Hill Cafe!

Rushed unfriendly service. Brunch was underwhelming. Pancetta skillet didn’t have any pancetta - mostly just unseasoned potatoes in bacon fat. Overpriced

Bon rapport qualité prix. Le patron et tout le personnel très sympathique. Les assiettes copieuses et de bonne qualité. Bonne adresse

Found this adorable gem while looking for food near my stay at the Fairmont Hotel. I can see why the place filled up quickly after opening with a significant percentage of locals/regulars by the sound of things. The facility is small and simple (continuing with the post Covid outdoor eating hut) with quick friendly service. The vegetable soup and chicken park were authentic and quite tasty. Very much enjoyed the meal and am sure you will too. If I lived locally I would certainly visit frequently

Authentic Italian cuisine, relaxed quaint restaurant. Order the house-made focaccia bread. The calamari steak is delicious. I’ve never heard of calamari steak but apparently this restaurant is famous for serving this unique cut from a large squid (not pictured unfortunately). The seafood with black noodle was also delicious. Nob Hill is walking distance from the Fairmont Hotel. Must visit if you are visiting the area.

Such a great spot ! Feels very neighborly and love that it’s so close to me. Just moved here and everyone made me feel so welcomed. Apparently they just started brunch! Definitely coming back with the fiends :)
