Cioppino's On The WharfBest Ciopinno everThe food and service was great. The Ciopinno was the best we have ever had and the Salted Caramel cake was great.6/4/2013 12:00:00 AMThe GREAT ORLANDOOrlando has got to be the best waiter. He should be running the place. He is wise, witty and provides great service.5/21/2013 12:00:00 AMFavorite on the wharfAfter much disappointment of trying many other restaurants for dinner on the wharf. We finally found one we would return to! Food was better than average and service was outstanding. My husband loved the pasta and I enjoyed the crab risotto5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMFor weekday lunch/early dinnerGood place to go on the wharf for cioppino and food that's hearty and flavorful. Casual ambiance and friendly service enjoyed.
Parking of course difficult and expensive. Public transportation or by foot best option.5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGood food, casual diningGood soups (clam chowder, minestrone), decent Cioppino and good dessert (tiramisu and mango cheesecake). Kitchen service slow. Environment loud (low ceiling). Waiter service good (apologetic due to slow kitchen). Good for group dining.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat dinning experienceWe started off with some Bloody Mary and my husband, who's very picky ,enjoyed his, as did I. Overall, everything we ordered was very good. Best Cioppino I've had in a long time. We ordered the Tiramisu for dessert and the presentation was very nice. We would definitely go back again.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMNamesake lives up to its name!It is one of the many wharf experiences, and that is a competitive marketplace. Nevertheless, it holds it's own in every way.
Our caesar salads were very tasty, with the right amount of dressing, cheese, and fresh lettuce. The Cioppino dishes are perfect, with plenty of fresh crab, mussels, fish and a savory broth. The desserts are really good... try the warm molten chocolate cake.

The menu had some great items and I enjoyed everything I ordered (Garlic shrimp pasta dish and garlic bread appetizer). The drink menu was also fun with some specialty cocktails. I went with a large group (8 of us) and we had a great table with plenty of room and a great server. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a fairly inexpensive Italian or seafood dinner!3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a great time at Cioppinos.We had a great time at Cioppinos. On Fisherman's Wharf and supposed to be touristy, and we are locals, but we loved it. Decor was wonderful- red table clothes, tables far away from each other, extremely well decorated. Service was fast and waitress was very friendly. Good selection of specialty drinks- the Dark and Spicy was ok, Sangria was really good. Calamari appetizer wasn't special, but ok. Lasagna was excellent and good portion - took half home for the next day. Cioppino comes in two sizes and a choice of in the shell or shelled, which is great. My wife had the smaller size and loved it. Very tasty. She even finished it. Tiramisu for dessert is a must. Very friendly and fun time here. Chianti was about a $1.50 overpriced at $8.3/3/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food!We had an early lunch and the noise level was quiet. By the time we left, the restaurant had filled and it was understandably noisier. The food here is excellent! The cioppino was the best ever! Service was quick, unobtrusive and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant.2/16/2013 12:00:00 AM
