Not a repeat! This restaurant has been in business for 137 years. Visiting the city, we figured it must be good. It was a big disappointment. The service was excellent. However, the food was forgettable. Filet of Sole was frozen fish—not fresh at all. Drowned in butter and oil with no flavor. Calamari appetizer was mediocre. The Caesar salad was very tasty and quite small for the price. The noise level was overwhelming in the main dining room. Not conducive to conversations. So many great Italian restaurants in the area. We will not return to this one.

The Burrata, Tomato & Garlic Bread Buschetta and the Caesar's Salad were outstanding appetizers. We chose the vela chop, which was cooked to perfection, and the veal piccata was delicious, very tender and both were served piping hot. The accompanying vegetables were also cooked perfectly. Our server was attentive and delightful.

We really enjoyed our dining experience at Fior D'Italia. With a fine selection of everything from starters to desserts there really is something for everyone. I ordered the rabbit with mushrooms sauce on polenta that was just beautiful, all of our group loved their meals. The staff were all extremely attentive and courteous. I love the building and decor and look forward to dining here on our next visit to San Francisco.

The host greeted us warmly, but his approach was not reflected by our server. Our party of three was seated at the corner window, which was a perfect spot. Our server always seemed to be moving on the the next thing without pausing. He seemed impatient & would come back. The food was delicious; the rabbit, lasagna & half children. This is a great place we come back to for those reasons.

Very disappointed. Came in on Valentine's Day and took about 80 minutes for our waiter to take our order after getting seated, which only happened after multiple times trying to flag him down. Didn't see him until he brought the check, didn't check on us once and had to order additional drinks and dessert from the people bussing tables. I understand it's Valentine's Day and is slower than normal, but a table of 4 got their food the same time as us despite sitting down almost an hour after us (table of two). Unlike the other review that enjoyed their time, we ended up spending over two hours at the restaurant but most of the time was spent waiting around to order drinks and food. Appetizers not being served for over an hour and a half (sat at 8:00pm so it's around 9:30 at this point). The food was decent, but I would not recommend this restaurant based on the poor service. There are plenty of restaurants where you can go get great food at the expense of the quality of service, but this place is not that. There are many great restaurants in north beach with atleast equally good food that actually has some level of service. We will not be returning.
