- DDebVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •25 reviews4.0Dined todayNote that we went before an event at ACT and were on a short timeline. The food and drinks were really quite good. To be honest, I hadn't expected a lot from a restaurant in that area, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's casual, not elevated in any way, but solid prep and served quickly. There were 3 of us and we shared the Caesar salad - which was fine, a pasta dish that had a taleggio cream, pancetta and hen of the woods mushrooms - also good, though very small, and the salsiccia pizza which was superb - I didn't even get mad about the broccoli that was on it, though I generally am unequivocally opposed to it. I had a Lemoncello spritzer that was outstanding, and a glass of wine. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable about the food, and had opinions on wines, all of which I really appreciate. I think this is a great choice when attending an ACT production! ONE IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW - The restaurant validates parking for 3 hours, but if you stay longer than that, you will pay the full-rate, all-day parking price of $38. That was not a pleasant surprise.More infoCorzettiPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown / Union Square•4.5

- KKathleenNew York City •7 reviews4.0Dined on Jun 10, 2025The restaurant's interior is beautiful. The service was excellent and so was the food. The noise level was much too high, so only four stars. Lunch is served late so next time we will reserve a table a little later to avoid the lively lunch crowd. Otherwise, this was a lovely experience.More infoThe Post RoomPrice: Expensive• Californian• Downtown / Union Square•4.4
- TTerraSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined on Jun 10, 2025This was my first time dining here, and I was thoroughly impressed - especially thanks to Tania, who made the evening truly special. I was celebrating my partner’s presentation at a conference and Tania picked up on the occasion right away, bringing a warm and thoughtful energy to the entire experience. The tuna tartare was a standout; fresh, balanced, and beautifully presented. Tania recommended an N/A wine that complemented my experience perfectly, and her attention to detail throughout the meal was flawless. Exceptional service, great food, and a genuine sense of hospitality from both management (shout out to Tati, Matthew, and Mike!) and staff. We’ll definitely be back!More infoMastro's Steakhouse - San FranciscoPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown / Union Square•4.6
