Diner Reviews
  • "Excellent service overall. Past, current and definitely future loyal customer. Excellent food and priced fairly compared to other of their competitors. Great ambiance for any occasion."

  • "We first went there January 2014. I had their signature dish (Cioppino) the last time. It was good, but not that outstanding. So I tried the seafood saute (lots of seafood plus Dungeness crab) while she had the seafood risotto. Both had lots of seafood: mine in a pesto cream sauce which masked the flavors a bit, and hers in a yummy risotto cooked just right, nice and creamy. The last time we went she got the same dish and asked for no calamari (as she did this time also). The waitress the last time told her she could have extra of what ever other meat was in it so she go extra mussels. This time she asked the waiter if she could have extra mussels to which he said yes. However she did not get the extra. That was disappointing. Good overall."

  • "We went to Cioppino's for our Valentine's dinner and it exceeded expectations. We had just got off our plane, and were late for our reservations and they still sat us down immediately. Our waiter was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food was amazing and we enjoyed the atmosphere. Next time we visit San Fran we will for sure revisit Ciopinno's, and I highly recommend the Alcatraz Island Ice Tea!"

  • "A cozy place at Fisherman's Wharf. The spouse got the Dungeness crab and the presentation is impressive. The pizza is good, too."
    Dined on 2/12/2014
  • "First if you've never had cioppino your missing out big time! Every time I'm in San Francisco I head to Ciopinno's to have the Ciopinno. I usually have the Crab shucked (Lazy style) so I can just get to eating. Great flavor and lots of seafood in this fish stew. Excellent. I highly recommend!"

  • "We had dinner here and we really enjoyed it. What was interesting was the fact that we looked around at one point and realized that at least four big groups had come in after us and the restaurant was handling them with no problems! Actually, the more people in the restaurant, the better the service. The food was pretty good. Definitely Italian. I had the Cioppino and it was excellent. The small is definitely enough for one person! Another team member ordered the regular and couldn't finish it. Others also enjoyed their food; we had a British member who stated that the Fish and Chips were definitely authentic. The vegan member in the group loved her bruschetta and everyone else really enjoyed their meals (I can't remember what they had.)"

  • "My wife was in the mood for seafood and I don't eat it so we needed to find a place that had a good selection. The food, drinks, and service are very good at this location. In fact, it was so good that we decided to visit this restaurant twice during our one week visit to San Francisco. I had the fetucine alfredo on one visit and the lasagna on another. Both were very good. My wife had cioppino on one visit and one of the fish dishes on another and she stated her food was also very good. The staff were very friendly and made up feel like special guests on both occasions. The drinks from the bar were also very good. I highly recommend this restaurant."

  • "This is a low-key Italian-style seafood restaurant. We eat here fairly often because my husband likes it. It is family oriented (there were kids running up and down the aisle by our table) but it kind of makes sense there. I'm thinking most of the diners are tourists but we're locals and go there every other month or so. I used to think of this place as a good value, but it seemed to me like the prices were substantially higher this last time than they used to be. This is not fine dining, but a fun relaxed place to knock back some pasta and a red wine."
    Dined on 1/12/2014
  • "I ordered the Cioppino and my mate ordered the seafood risotto. Both were very good. Because the risotto was made to order she was given the opportunity to change out the calamari for more mussels. Excellent! The other seafood in it was shrimp which were nice and meaty, plump and juicy. The Cioppino was tasty, but not spicy at all. They had the option to take the crab out of the shell first which saved me the embarrassment of spraying it all over me! Yes they did provide a bib, and I used it."

  • "Reserved thru Open Table -- worked well. Family of 5 for dinner. Ambience and noise were good. Handled our two 10-year olds well. Very nice server and hostess. Sat inside toward the back -- view of dock area. Ordered margarita and did not specify brand of tequila. Came "top shelf" and was not well blended -- felt a little taken advantage of at $9.00 -- should have asked us. Had it re-done but still tasted off so did not drink it. One entrée was requested no cheese -- but came with cheese and had to be re-done (but quickly well handled by server). Food quality was very good -- salads, pasta, swordfish, sausage and clams. Kids mac and cheese was well received. We will return but will be clearer about which brands for drinks."

  • "Everyone from the hostess to the waitress to the busboy gave excellent service. We had a few special requests (change of table, custom salads, etc.) and everyone was happy to accommodate our needs with a smile. The ambiance was family friendly, casual setting, moderate noise level, crayons and kids' menu. The food was good. I was happy with the fried fishermans platter. The calamari was so chewy as to be not edible but the fish and shrimp were crispy outside, nicely cooked inside. Along with the fries, I was plenty full without the calamari. I advised the waitress and she said she'd pass along my comments. Everyone else enjoyed their meals, nothing amazing but very satisfying. Walking distance to Ghirardelli for dessert!"

  • "My husband and myself were both born in San Francisco and know the city restaurants well. It is so nice to have such delicious food and drink in such a beautiful place. The service is always excellent. We go for no occasion or any special occasion. Our last visit happened to be our anniversary and we were given a great table in the back with a romantic view of the bay and complimentary dessert. We have friends coming in from FL next week so we will be returning right away, can't wait. It truly is the best Ciopinno in SF. They will even remove the crab from the shells if you prefer. Excellent in every way."

  • "We had a small group but the waiter was attentive and service was great. Great new place for us. My friends were in from LV and said they eat here again next time in."

  • "We had dinner there while visiting Fishermans Warf. Parking was predictably difficult, but the meal was fine. Menu is all the standards. 6 of us all had different entres'. All service promptly and hot. Would go back again."

  • "We were looking for seafood, moderately priced, w a view for dinner. Trip advisor had actually given 4 star reviews. The place from the outside just looks like a tourist trap. Red checked table clothes, TV at bar. We couldn't sit by the windows to look out on the water bc of a private event. They were out of their daily special appetizer, sweet potato fries. Lastly, the seafood was just meh. IT smelled fishy When it arrived to the table and dint have much flavor."

  • "Great choice when the city is busy or all restaurants are booked. Walking distance from many Fisherman's Wharf hotels and after dinner bars and sights. Perfect for groups or family dining but also quaint for couples."

  • "Went with work-friends for early weeknight dinner - two had the small Cioppino, and it was enough to fill them! Both said it was fabulous! The other had Halibut - really enjoyed it and was such a large piece, she ate less than half. I had the Fried Fisherman's Platter with shrimp, calamari, and halibut over French Fries, and took about one-third home, where my wife and daughter promptly finished it. Very good, friendly service, and priced reasonably. I hope to return soon so I can try the Cioppino!"

  • "Of all of the Italian seafood tourist restaurants along the San Francisco pier, Cioppino's is one of the better places and I have been there several times. I had a small group in town who had never been to the pier and we had a 8pm reservation on a Saturday night in August. We still had to wait about 20 minutes as the placed was packed but they have a comfortable bar. The atmosphere is OK and it is a little loud. There is a limited view from the back but it is in a great location. The service is attentive and the waiter handled 6 different credit cards with ease. The food is good. Not great, but good and dependable. Prices are reasonable for the location."

  • "They made it perfect! Everyone enjoyed their meals. The salmon salad was tastey. My husband had the carbonara pasta which is off the hook! The tiramiso was perfect! Thanks to my blue eyed waiter and hostess who call me back to confirm everything! Cant wait to go back"

  • "Reasonable prices, dock view at a few tables at back of resturant, several tables on sidewalk for people watchers, cioppino and waiter were very good."

  • "We were seated quickly on a very busy night, which was the best part of our experience! The food was bland and not up to wharf standards! The seafood did not seem fresh, but frozen, thawed and served instead. The menu seemed amazing online but did not come close to what we were expecting. I will not be returning."

  • "Walked in for our Friday night reservation and they sat us right away next to a window with a view of a little harbor, looking into the San Francisco Bay(view slightly limited by surrounding buildings)"
