Fabulous experience. We celebrated three birthdays and it was perfect. The entire staff, led by Benjamin, were professional, warm, attentive, and helpful. The food was excellent. Highly recommend the burrata appetizer, the mushroom pasta, and the warm butter cake. Yummy! It also was wonderful to be in a beautiful and calm environment. The noise level was just right and we could talk with one another without yelling. We definitely will return and are planning our next visit when friends visit from Arizona. Thank you to the entire staff for making our experience delicious and gracious!

Supper was quite good. The wild mushrooms with pasta was quite good, a nicely balanced flavor with the mushrooms. A small fried egg toped the pasta, a nice touch. The owner is quite nice, friendly and accommodating. It was a delight to have him at throughout the meal delivering our food. We had a choice of sections to dine in and chose the library

Bartender and wait staff were very friendly. Great, chill atmosphere as well. Love the Espresso Martini I had. (It was on Nitro!) Also, the Gnocchi Ragù was super tasty and it paired really well with the recommended wine. All in all a great experience and I'm so glad to have a place like this to go to in my neighborhood.

The Crab Arancini and Tuna Tartare appetizers were delicious. The Margherita Flatbread was mediocre. The tomato sauce on the flatbread tasted like it was from a can/jar instead of made from scratch and the basil wasn't fragrant. The entrees were a letdown. We asked for our Steak Frites to be cooked medium but it came out medium rare and the fries were hard and oily. The risotto on our salmon entree was undercooked, it wasn't al dente, it was just hard and unpleasant. Panna cotta was too sweet and too rich, it tasted more like a creme brulee and was covered in a overly sweet caramel sauce. The server saw that we hadn't eaten half of our steak dish but didn't ask if there was a problem. For a restaurant that charges 6% SF Mandate fee plus service fee, I would've expected the server to be more aware. Per Diem used to be one my team's favorite restaurants but I don't think I would be going back.
