   Nice place for lunch but a bit expensive. Wait staff is very attentive and food is very good.

   First time for us. The Mamacita Bonita cocktail was hard to enjoy - too strong of grapefruit and with an almost salty finish. I requested an additional touch of agave nectar and it improved greatly. She had a glass of the Black Trumpet syrah: horrible, astringent, no pleasure whatsoever in that glass...for $19? The brussel sprouts salad was alright, but nothing special; the pizza was outstanding; her rabbit pasta dish pretty tasty, while my chicken liver pasta was basically one-dimensional; hard to argue with quince upside down cake. All in all, the dining experience came up short and did not provide the totally delectable dinner we had expected. Kudos, however, to the wait staff! Everyone who came to our table - 5, 6 different servers, bus people, etc.? - aimed to improve our evening in any way possible.

   As always impeccable food. Attentive service and very nice atmosphere. Started with the delightful fennel salad. So fresh and tasty. Enjoyed the quails next - perfectly cooked and splurged for dessert and it was worth it.

   This is such a fabulous restaurant. The service is always impeccable, the food is always outstanding. It's our go-to for any special event, great for non-special events too. (If you're celebrating a birthday, and they know the celebrant's name ahead of time, they may even have a surprise at your table.)

   Special Occasion Bday. We reserved 2 spots at Chefs Table but hosts made an error, so we ended up with a table for 2 by the bar. Server Ben was gracious, timely, and explained menu well. Skip the fennel salad- little bits of fruit spread across a plate- almost comical. Carpaccio had too much parmesan on top to taste meat. We were tempted to order Bistecca, but started with pastas. They were savory and delish. Pinot Noir Ben suggested was a perfect compliment. Leave room for the mountain of gelato served table side doused with grand marnier. Friendly fellows celebrating next to us ordered everything on the menu and gave us bites of the bistecca. It was huge, good but not great- glad we saved our $$.

   Cotogna, located in an historic and lovely walking neighborhood -- downtown SF's Jackson Square -- is a warm and elegantly rustic Italian eatery featuring wood oven and hand made pasta specialities, housed in a brick wall, wood plank floor and wide window for street view design, and which is hosted by service members whose crafts are relayed with an abundance of care. One of our favorite places to place ourselves for nourishment and celebration, when we are so lucky.

    Small portions of well prepared, unique plates makes this restaurant one for special occasions. The wine list is well thought out too.
