"Try the sandwich special and a beer. One thing to note: this isn't the spot to go for a quick lunch. It's meant for people to lounge, relax, and talk with others! As a result, the service is slow."

"Great atmosphere for an intimate date, but it isn't the best Italian I've had (even in the neighborhood). If you're happy with good ambience and good wine over perfect food, this is your spot!"

"Decent ramen if you're in a pinch! The service was great as well. If you're looking for the best, try elsewhere. If you're here, get the Tonkatsu broth w/ pork."

"I live in North Beach (Little Italy) and this is the best Italian I've had in San Francisco. It is the perfect mixture of old school Italian flavored and new school chef technique."

"Yeah, yeah, the toast is phenomenal. What really surprised me was how good the espresso was. One of the best I've had in the Bay."

"Speakeasy-esque atmosphere, craft cocktails, and hipster bar staff. If you're looking for a romantic and dimly-lit date spot, this would be a good choice."
