54 Mint Ristorante Italiano

We had a great time here! The food was good and so was the service. Everything (apps, pasta, proteins, dessert) tasted good, though the portion sizes felt a little small. The basement is a good spot for group gatherings. It’s in a pretty hectic area of SF so personally I don’t plan on returning.

Little hidden Italian in the plaza that creates an atmosphere of escape in an area that could use some work (don't go on 6th Street). Feels cozy but tables are spaced enough to have privacy. Not too noisy for good conversation. Nice service. The food itself is really good. Feels very Mediterranean and the "bar" wine is excellent as well. It was a great surprise and a great time. The burger is amazing by the way...

Great place for a girls dinner or just a group of friends catching up. The cocktails are amazing and the pastas were exquisite. Highly recommend the fettuccine al Funghi and panna cotta with balsamic.

Good Italian food in an upscale environment. Food in general is pretty good, we went in a group of 7 so got to try some variety. Antipasti - I especially liked the BUFALA E PROSCIUTTO, but feel like going with grissin is a little weird… I ended up spreading the cheese and meat on bread slices. Secondi - we tried the steak which is a special, it tastes great! The steak is at the right tenderness and saltiness. It’s a great portion too. Tiramisu can never go wrong at an Italian restaurant. It got a pretty upscale ambiance with a good selection of wine. The server came quite slow though so there were some long waiting periods between courses… also bread is not free… Post tax and fees $90 per person

Great Restaurant. Service was superb. Our waiter was Italian which is awesome in an Italian restaurant. We had the Alaskan halibut and the Bucatini. Both were very good. We also had the Vermentino white wine which was excellent. I’m told you don’t see that much in the US. For desert we had the pannacotta Al balsamico. A great treat the way the sour balsamic changes the flavor of the pannacotta. And light too. Recommend trying this place.

Decent Italian restaurant sitting at a corner of square. We didn’t have a reservation, so got seated at the bar. Got prosciutto and Buffalo mozzarella, and bread basket for appetizer. Both pretty good. Wish the mozzarella was a bit more. The olive oil that came with the breadbasket was quite good. Had the carbonara for main. Very rich pasta (almost a little too rich), nice thick pork pieces, and pasta cooked to just right. Overall decent place, may come back if I’m in the area again.

The service and food are great! But carbonara is bit too much (too rich), so remember to share it. The halibut was so delicious and fresh — worth a try! Don’t forget to order the tiramisu for dessert.

I was in town for an audio class walking distance from this place. This was a very peaceful, pleasant, refreshing place to eat dinner alone at the bar. The bartender was very friendly/personable and the service was good. Also, the food was delicious, fresh and interesting. My favorites were the octopus and the pesto gnocchi, but the fried fish appetizer was unique and worth trying too. I’m a very healthy eater and the food was light enough for me - not heavy or overly rich like some Italian food. It’s also a visually beautiful place to sit and relax. It was nice to get a break from the harshness of San Francisco and be somewhere that feels good to sit and eat.
