This lively little Italian restaurant, popular with locals, serves traditional dishes that are far better than most of North Beach's more touristy establishments. You can feel the love in the pots and the character in the food! It's a great atmosphere, with authentic decor and a family team who take great care of their customers. Try the chef's specialty, Polpettine Spaghetti, spaghetti with meatballs and flavors that border on perfection. A fine selection of wines from the Botte region are available to accompany your dish.

A nice little hole in the wall Italian spot. Fantastic food. Good atmosphere. Excellent service. I ordered the shrimp scampi appetizer which was great. And then my entree was the fettuccine Verde. So good. Must go back. Will go back! ????

A little bit more personal and genuine than some of the (excellent) establishments which feature all around the Washington Square area of North Beach. Literally one block west from Columbus and suddenly the "tourist vibe" is removed and you're in real San Francisco. This is a good thing!
I hadn't been here before and, on enquiring, it was obviously very busy and the only option was a place at the bar. Turned out to be a bit of a result. I was spoilt beyond expectations by the lovely gentleman keeping bar. And it just felt great.
And then there's the food. This is genuinely freshly cooked Italian cuisine, the chefs clearly working passionately behind the pass, for all to witness. It's obvious the staff have been here a long time. It's got that "accomplished" neighbourhood vibe. Which I love.
Interestingly they offer no steaks. A gamut of pasta options, fish, and much more. I can personally recommend the shrimp scampi starter, pan fried to perfection, and the Saltimbocca, a personal favourite of mine. The devil is in the detail. Everything on the dish is cooked just right. It's not like some places where they add potato to fill up the plate, the potato was in itself delicious. One of my photos demonstrates how much I really mean this.????
I'll be going back here for sure.

This place is amazing. The Roasted Bell Pepper was one of the best appetizers I’ve ever had. It was so rich and full of flavor. The Carlesimo was divine and every bite seemed to get better and better. The Tiramisu was very good as well. The service is outstanding.

What an insanely great meal and experience. When seated we were given a brief overview of the menu and information about what dishes are popular. Based on this information, we started with the Roasted Bell Pepper. For something that seems so ridiculously simple, this dish was just out of this world. There was something reminiscent of a chile relleno. It was incredible and I wish I had a recipe to be able to make something remotely similar to it. I ordered the Ravioli Correnti, which was rich and delicious, but I still wasn’t over the bell pepper. We finished with the tiramisu which again, was great… but that bell pepper… The old fashioned was fantastic as well, especially to was down that bell pepper.
