    Beautiful restaurant. Our waiter was very good and the pasta dishes delicious. The veal dish I would not order again. Otherwise a good meal.

    Absolutely gorgeous remodel of the space. Our server was not only very helpful with suggestions but he was also quite charming and warm. Amazing live music (Tuesdays and Wednesdays). The food was incredible. If you are a Ceasar salad person, this is a must! We had a few different pastas and gnocchi and everyone at our table loved their selection. We shared the stuffed zucchini blossoms which was also delicious but I’m pretty sure that’s only in season for a very small window of time. So very happy that this traditional North Beach institution is carrying on and doing so in such a beautiful way. Will absolutely be back soon

    To be fair the food was delicious, however, I have never been made to feel so unwelcome. From the condescending host to the indifferent server I was perplexed as to what happened. If you read my other reviews you will see I am not a glass half empty person but I feel compelled to point this out so you know the risks. Definitely one of the most bizarre experiences I have ever experienced and hopefully based upon the overwhelming positive reviews, perhaps it was just a bad night,

    My favorite North Beach Restaurant! New owners, new menu. The octopus was amazing. Did you know they make their pasta in - house? No wonder it’s off the hook fantastic!

    They’d do well to remove deep fried food and Fish with bones. Strange.
