   Absolutely fantastic! A new dining experience with food that was delicious, surprising in the combination of flavors and so filling. The service was incredible, we celebrated our anniversary here and can't wait to go back.

   Great establishment with clean interior. Excellent service and ambiance. That said, their fusion needs some work, in both their dishes and interior design. Some flavors and textures didn't come together well. At times, it felt like I grabbed a little of two separate things and shoved them both in my mouth rather than then arriving prepared in one dish. While tasty, the roll tasted like a regular sushi roll. The Japanese-American flavors overpowered whatever Italian elements they tried to incorporate. Still a delicious dinner overall. The space offers little noise insulation, so you either need your outdoor voice, or get real close to your date.

    We went to Pesce e Riso for our anniversary dinner while in San Francisco and we were so happy that we did! We got there a little early and they were able to seat us immediately, which was great because it was raining and it would have been cold & wet waiting outside (it's a cozy restaurant and there isn't a waiting area really). There's a good ambiance and even though the restaurant was packed it wasn't too loud to have a conversation. They even surprised us with two glasses of champagne on the house for our anniversary - it was wonderful! The food was amazing. Somehow I had missed that it was Italian-Japanese fusion and so that was a pleasant surprise. We had the tempura misto appetizer which was so tasty - I'd never had tempura fried asparagus and it was amazing! Especially dipped in the aioli sauce - yum! For our entrees, we had the ribeye and the risotto, both were excellent, along with a delicious side of cauliflower. We were stuffed by the end of the meal. The service was great - everyone was friendly and the orders were correct and showed up quickly. The waitress was attentive and the host stopped by occasionally as well. They also have a great wine list. We will definitely come back next time we are in San Francisco and would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good meal.

    This is a little gem of a restaurant. Each dish was unique and varied in its flavor. Even our three teenage daughters loved their meals. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The only minor minor fix would be the temperature. The restaurant was quite cold inside. I would highly recommend that you give Pesce e Riso a try. You will not be disappointed!

    This was a last minute booking on a busy night in North Beach and man it worked out! Ambience from the hardwood floors to the wine racks and window to the street. Eclectic fusion of Japanese and Italian food prepared with skill, thought and respect, combining ingredients in interesting ways. Risotto, tempura, pasta, fish, oysters all realistic portions, interestingly curated wine by the glass list and an amazing server (originally from Eastern Europe) who was thoughtful, conversational and helpful. Through her we learned a little of the chef’s journey through different cultures and cuisines. Will definitely make this a destination place for trips into SF/North Beach.

    I've always passed by this place and wanted to try it. I was impressed with the menu and flavors! Similar to The House next door in terms of size and types of dishes. Keep in mind that some of the tables are the kind that are stuck next to other people. That didn't bother us but it makes it kind of loud with everyone talking over each other. The octopus, broccolini and risotto were excellent!

    I loved the fusion Italian and Japanese cuisine. The arancini appz was amazing. The agnolotti dish was delish! I’d go back for sure. If it wasn’t for parking situation in north beach neighborhood I’d be here all the time! I promise to come back to try other dishes in the menu.

    The confluence of Italian and Japanese flavors and cooking techniques was revelatory and not overstated at any point. Delicate use of unexpected flavorings like dill flower or shiso leaf and the meeting of carpaccio and sashimi were inspired and delicious. Thoroughly recommended.
