Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Pacific Heights

Loved it! Little Italian neighborhood gem. Fun vibe, engaging staff, and a fine dinner at a fair price. Will return!

A delicious meal and our server was wonderful! Recommend to all!

Pizza was delicious, but the salads were divine! Cute little locals spot, the beauty of this city is leaving your neighborhood and finding gems like this.

Dining at Barberio Osteria last night was one of the most satisfying dining experiences I’ve had in years!! When I and my two dining companions tried the amazingly fresh bread and wonderfully unique olive oil that they presented us I knew we were in for an unforgettable dining experience. Their sommelier paired our meals with a fragrant and effervescent medium bodied red wine that was perfect. Their pastas in our dishes were fresh and wonderfully textured. I had the Malloreddus while my friends ordered the Pappardelle and Cappelletti. The Papparelle in particular was OUTSTANDING, and I’ll order it on my next visit! We finished our meals with a Meyer Lemon sorbetto and dessert that isn’t currently on the online menu. But the featured hazelnut sauce will stick with me for a long time. The bottom line is this dining experience was so pitch perfect from beginning to end that a day later I am compelled to write this review. I will bring other friends to this restaurant so that they too can have the joy of experiencing it.

The pasta class was an awesome experience! We learned how to hand knead artisanal flour and make 4 types of hand-pressed and 4 types of filled pasta while learning the history/background for each. They showed us the machines they use to make their extruded pasta and freely answered all our questions. Beverages and fresh rosemary shortbread were available throughout the 3.5 hour class. After we finished making our pasta we got to observe them being prepared into the dishes we dined on afterward. Our teachers were very knowledgeable and helpful. I definitely recommend
