Il Casaro Pizzeria & Mozzarella Bar - Review - North Beach - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"You must get the burrata when you eat at (or order from) this North Beach Italian spot. It’s imported and phenomenal, just like Tsukiji Market tuna and Celine Dion. Pizza-wise, the broccoli and salsiccia is our favorite pie here." - Taylor Abrams

A North Beach favorite for true Neapolitan pies baked in a Neapolitan wood oven, with a mozzarella bar to match. Praised by local chefs in the San Francisco Standard and firmly embedded in the neighborhood’s Italian community.

Easily my favorite personal Pizza in SF! Been coming here since 2015 but always ordering the same thing, haha! The dough is very light and fluff. Paired with their fresh chili (I forgot the name, but its good!) makes everything tastes better.

We actually visited this Italian for three nights running in San Francisco because it is genuinely one of the best pizzas we’ve had in our lives (we are Italian and live in London) and this was up there, truly. We also had the carbonara rigatoni which was just as delicious so recommend that as well! Fantastic wine & service. Would recommend to anyone visiting San Francisco and the little Italy area!

Service is a perfect. They were always present to check on us and the food was served fast. Food is fantastic. You must get a pizza, choose any they’re all good. And the carbonara. Its the best you’ll ever have and it’s the real carbonara. Pizza was perfect. Salad and the calamari was good too.All my Italian friends approve this place and so do I.

If you want a burn pizza, go for it. On a group of seven, we ordered 4 pizzas, and all of them had burn crust. The pizza tasted more at burn than actual pizza. The pistachio pizza barely has any topping. There are better options in the city than this. However, the doe was with good texture, and the prosciutto and parmegan are good.

Disappointed on my third visit to Il Casaro. I always come here for the Quattro Formaggi—it’s been my favorite. But today, it just wasn’t the same. It honestly looked like they ran out of cheese. The rich, creamy flavor I expect from this pizza was missing. Don’t get me wrong—the dough was still excellent, light and well-made as always. But overall, the pizza felt incomplete. You can even see it in the picture. Really hoping this was just an off day, because I’ve had much better experiences here before.

One of the best pizzas I’ve eaten with a super light dough! They didn’t update the prices on their website though. We had the Norma pizza which had to my surprise grated hard salty ricotta, I was expecting the creamy one but it was good. The four cheese was amazing, they don’t overdo it with the cheese and the flavor was well balanced. The tiramisu was disappointing with thick lady fingers not soaked enough in coffee and it was a little dry, not enough mascarpone cream. You have a pick of receipt with real prices. Enjoy the pizzas!

We had a wonderful experience at Il Casaro! The food was absolutely delicious – beautifully presented and full of authentic flavor. The pizza was fluffy with a perfect crust, and the fresh cheese shaved straight from a big wheel of Parmesan was a great touch. The tiramisu was rich and creamy, and the atmosphere was warm and lively. The staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely a place I would return to! Grazie Mille!

Excellent pizza and lasagna. They brought Italy to North Beach. The spicy Calabrian oil is amazing. Authentic and cute date night spot.

If I had to pick one pizza that not only sparks joy but satiates my soul, it would have to be the Diavola at Il Casaro. I've been here several times and have had the opportunity to try several items. But the Diavola and the panna cotta have been a fixture each time. The spicy Calabrian chili and oil, and the overload of meat on the freshest yummiest bread makes for a perfect mouthful each time. Their meatballs in tomato sauce is delish too. Fresh. I can't help but end my meal with their panna cotta (or two), which has stayed consistently good over the years. Il Casaro is one of these places that have stood the test of time. It's always super busy, the small space is always brimming with people, but the servers and the food make up for the chaos!

Food: Calamari was nice and smokey. Prosciutto pizza was great and not too salty. Pro Tip: drizzle some Calabrian chili oil on top, you won't regret it. Carbonara was great on the first bite but cooled down way too quickly. Service was pretty hectic and the restaurant was crowded when we went.

Omg! The pizza is so delicious! The place gets busy. We visited on a Friday night. This was my second visit and it occurred to me I did not post a review on yelp. Service is wonderful, pizza is off the hook, the restaurant isn't that big, but they handled the crowd very well. There is outside seating available too.

One of my favorite pizzas in the city! I love sitting at the bar and watching them as they prepare and bake everything. The inside is small but cozy and they also have outdoor seating. The staff is always very friendly but they can get busy! Their chilis are one of the best parts, the perfect amount of spice and flavor!

Honestly, I was very surprised how well this pizza came out. I feel like many of the restaurants in little Italy are tourist traps and I thought this restaurant would be one of them, but I'm happy to say I stand corrected. They have a wood fire oven inside the restaurant and it smelled like fresh baked dough when you walk into the restaurant. I was famished when I sat down to order. I came at 9 or 10 pm on Sunday night and it wasn't packed, which meant I sat down fairly quickly. I ordered the ll casaro because I wanted mushrooms (to feel a little healthy) and prosciutto (for protein). I enjoyed my pizza, it was fresh and hot out the wood fire oven and it smelled divine. You can ask them for chili oil if you want to have a little more kick to your pizza. Personally, I would've loved my pizza more charred or crispy but I thought it was fine. It wasn't burnt at the bottom and it had a nice bite/chew to it. It held up fantastically, so you know I don't have soggy pizza! The pizza itself had a nice flavor, the mushrooms were cooked perfectly (not watery) and the prosciutto was thinly sliced to perfection. I highly recommend this pizza if you enjoy mushrooms!!! Is this the best wood fire pizza I had? No. But it's probably top 10 in my list. Give this place a try ! It's not a tourist trap, at least with the pizza. When I come back to SF I would definitely eat here again.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and there was no wait. Service was fast and the food came out quickly. The North Beach area is very lively and there was a Lunar New Year festival going on in nearby Chinatown that day so there was a lot going on! The pizza was good and my boyfriend and I enjoyed it but they put a little too much of the calabrian chili oil on my pizza and it completely overpowered the pizza. I would recommend requesting it on the side since it has a very pungent taste and is better in smaller quantities. My boyfriend liked his pizza and we would go back if we were in the neighborhood again!

I saw some very good reviews for this place from my Yelp friends I follow. I felt a very lively vibe as we walked in. We were greater and seated promptly. Friendly servers came right away to take our drink order. Someone else came by asking to explain if we had questions on the menu. I planned on getting the Margherita Pizza as it appeared to be the most popular item according to Yelp. We also ordered the Insalata Romana after hearing that the other salad option may be more salty. Once we ordered, we were setting up to receive our food. We noticed broken dishes on the table... Both dishes were broken. See my photos. This was quite surprising... I expected more from this place. The Insalata Romana was very good... Very light dressing and very refreshing. This was a good choice. I would have like a little bigger portion as a meal. The Margherita Pizza was good too. I felt maybe there wasn't enough mozzarella.... See my photo and judge for yourself. The service was great all the way thru and servers were friendly. They don't have to do much to upgrade my rating to 4+ stars. Replace the broken dishes, and be generous with the cheese. I expected this especially based on the name of this place. I hope to try again on my next visit to the City.

I was honestly underwhelmed by the food here. Between 3, we split the roasted cauliflower and 2 diavola pizzas (subbed pepperoni for mushrooms). The food came out with a plate of chili flakes, chili oil and calabrian chilis. The cauliflower didn't have much flavor, it was roasted and lightly salted. The pizza said it would have chilis and chili oil on top, but honestly it tasted like a regular mushroom pizza and we had to top it with the chilis and oil ourselves. The ambiance is nice, it's a cozier restaurant and the servers were friendly and attentive.

The ambiance was great with an open kitchen layout, indoor/outdoor, and bar seating. Service was quick and friendly. We were able to stay at our table for a bit longer to chat after the bill which was nice. In terms of the food, it was good. We ordered the diavola (with mushrooms instead of salami) because we thought the Calabrian chili oil and peppers would come already on the pizza. Instead, we were just given a side dish of chilies and a bottle of oil. Similar situation with the roasted cauliflower dish we ordered. No drizzle, just plain cauliflower and very light seasoning. It just felt like we were finishing making the pizza and adding flavor to the cauliflower. It was a little underwhelming.

We were in the city for a day of fun and my pizza snob of a husband wanted to find a place with a good pie. Seems like there are a million to choose from but we settled on Il Casaro. We parked in a nearby garage and walked a minute or two to the restaurant. Surprisingly easy for that area and how busy it was. We were greeted and seated inside right away. Both the host and the server were very nice. Husband started with their beet salad and I went with the insalata romana. For our mains, I went with their rigatoni carbonara and hubby chose their Diavola pizza. Their wood-fired pizza oven was gorgeous. Our salads were amazing. Mine was chopped romaine, toasted pine nuts, lemon, and the most amazing shaved Parmesan (sheets of it!). The dressing was so good- really tangy and bright. The pine nuts were such a great touch and complimented the citrus in the dressing. My husband loved his beet salad which was frisee, golden beets, walnuts, goat cheese, with an Apple cider dressing. They are large salads, easily shareable, and I was nearly full after completing mine. I appreciated that they served our salads first and gave us a little time to work on them before serving the pizza and pasta. My carbonara was good- still creamy and rich when served- though really, really peppery. The crispy pancetta was terrific. My husband was a tad disappointed with the pizza. The spicy salami that came on it was gamey in his opinion, and the pizza crust lacked flavor. We lamented that we hadn't ordered the margherita instead. Perhaps next time! Based on the excellent service and meal quality (aside from the salami and overpowering pepper), I think we'd be willing to give this place another try.

First I would like to say I love North Beach and little Italy. I've grown up in the Bay Area so coming here is always a treat. Well we were walking and decided we would stop and have a pizza, a glass of wine and a beer. I noticed it was not too busy but had some customers inside and outside. Which was a nice touch to choose where to sit. Our first person who came up was a man with glasses and we thought he was the owner and asked us about water. Then afterwards a younger young lady came out to take our ordered. At the same time we ordered the margarita pizza, glass of white wine and a draft beer which we were excited to eat and drink together. We sat and enjoyed the nice winter day. The man in the glasses came out to check on us. I did notice he took a picture of us at one point which was odd. Next, our pizza came out, which was within 10 minutes. But we noticed we didn't have drinks. Nor was there a lot of basil or mozzarella cheese on our pizza and half of the crust/pizza was burnt. We started to eat Eventhough we wanted to have our drinks with our food. But the waiter and the man were not in sight. We waited and waited, no drinks, finally we had to tell the guy with the glasses and the young girl. He explained to me, "sorry and that the drinks would be completely on the house." With that being said, he also explained the girl was new and didn't know, and she came back also apologized however when she finally did bring the drinks it was dirt swirling in the glass, which happened twice, she also brought a Tiramisu cake, which we did not ask for. I thought it was a nice gesture on top of the drink comp. Lastly, when we had more apologies, she brought the bill. & I admittedly saw we got charged for the drinks. I went inside to the man whom said they'd be taken care of, and told him, he then handed over my ticket to some woman I had never seen through this whole service interaction. So, I then I had to explain to her what I was promised and told, and she asked about the wine and debris in the glass (which it was twice), I explained and she looked very annoyed. Said she check the bottle. And proceeded to comp the drinks. When I went outside with my partner we soon after were finishing our drinks. The woman comes outside, and in a rude tone, comes after us about how we got comp drinks and a cake, which remember I did not ask for! And I was told drinks would be comp for the issues we had dealt with at our diner experience. She made excuses to why the glasses kept having debris in it after she took "care of it." She made it seem we were taking advantage but we were not. She told me, "there won't be a next time." I looked at her and thought in my head, that was very uncomfortable and unprofessional as a manager of a high end restaurant to come out and press the issue when it had already been resolved. So, no, there won't be a next time. And you cannot treat customers that way. -The pizza lacks cheese and basil -wine pour was weak -service for the ones whom try to make it right. -tables are not sturdy -but the cake was good! Last note, I will not be coming back because of how she came out at the end. However, maybe your experience will be better than mine.

Hard to believe it's been over four years since my last visit and, boy, how different it was. It was just after the world stopped in so many ways. That time, it was during the peak of shelter in place and takeout or deliveries were the only option. I was happy to be able to share it with my family including one no longer with us. Tired of dining at the usual places, I studied the menu and pics in deciding what to try on a Wednesday a little after 12:30 pm. There a couple single diners like me, one on the counter area and another at a single table like me. I initially wanted to eat at the counter (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=TxFX1lO0oLPBqbRIwcgOzQ) but the seats were hard on my legs. Given a carafe of water and a glass, a short time later, I started with the Insalata Romana (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=7n_0yzoVqpRdRW8D6pK09w). The menu describes this as Romaine lettuce hearts, roasted pine nuts, olive oil, lemon, and cheese. Refreshing and light salad where the pine nuts were the star. I also tried the bucatini Amatriciana (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=8IVEtLOAdm-gM98Cqp2WBg), which consists of tomato sauce, bacon, and Pecorino cheese. Craving a plate of spaghetti, I really enjoyed this. The tangy, spicy sauce with the pancetta pieces mixed well with the tube-y noodles. I would order this again. The portions for both were generous as I took half of both dishes home for future meals. My greeter was my waiter also and I apologize for losing my receipt in being unable to name him (taller guy with a mustache). Both he and a shorter gentleman checked on me regularly in making sure my water carafe was not low and removing empty plates and bringing me take home boxes and a bag. My lunch experience was further enhanced by enjoying tunes by Chrissy Hyndes' Back on the Chain Gang, You Can't Hurry Love (both versions, Supremes and Phil Collins), and Crocodile Rock by Elton in additional to a smattering of Italian tunes... of course. I am happy to experience Il Casaro under normal dining circumstances and will return.

Food: Came for the pizza but left most impressed by the lasagna! A solid bite of Neapolitan pizza, but honestly you have to get the lasagna! The zucca and salsiccia lasagna was so creamy and rich--the flavor profile was not something I was expecting at all. Ambiance & service: It gets pretty busy, but walk-ins are pretty doable. The waiters were fairly attentive, but we did have to ask for a couple things. Huge plus is they are super dog friendly, letting us sit inside with our dog!

Carbonara with pancietta $19 Prosciutto pizza $21 Saying I love the carbonara with pancietta is an understatement. It's so delicious. All the ingredients play a vital role. The saltiness of the pancietta is just right. It's compliments the parmesan. The pancietta is crispy; it adds to the texture of the dish. The Prosciutto pizza was tasty. It's a bit salty to me. I'm not sure if it's because of the combination of prosciutto and the pancietta from the carbonara that left my mouth salty, or just the pizza alone. I still recommend. My sister totally loved it. There's lots of seating outside and limited seating in the inside. This is a great restaurant for friends, family and a date.

We got the Carbonara and the Prosciutto pizza to share and that was plenty for 2 people. The burrata we got as an appetizer was probably not needed as we had plenty to take home at the end of the night. The pizza crust was excellent and overall was 5/5 but the carbonara was a bit lacking (too salty) so we'll probably just stick with ordering the pizzas next time. Service was prompt and they had good recommendations- will definitely be back to try the nduja sausage.

This place hit the spot!! I have been craving thin crust pizza for a while and had this place saved as a place I've been wanting to try given the amazing reviews. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! We ordered the prosciutto pizza and carbonara and both were SOOOO good. I love how they included chilli oil and peppers on the side, since I love spicy! The dough of the pizza was also so chewy but just the right amount of thickness. And the Parmesan they used for the pizza, oh my god, was so tasty too. Overall would definitely love to come back here! The price to food quality ratio is very hard to beat. Oh, and they use the same plates as Carbone. Super cute!

Everything was fresh and delicious! We got the Lumache al Pesto - few ingredients but flavorful 8/10 Bufalina- fresh 8/10, after 10mins 6/10 Quatro Formaggi with mushrooms - 8/10 Diavola- 7/10 There is a Casaro surcharge of 5% and 20% tip for parties of 6 or more. Parking is tricky as it's in the heart of North beach. But seating wasn't an issue even on a busy weekend night.

Late post: early dinner before heading to the airport for an international flight, Il Casaro' Bufalina pizza served with Calabrian chili oil. Sooo good! Service was prompt and friendly. Restaurant is clean and is decorated nicely. Prices weren't bad. Would love to be back to try out more delicious Italian fare.

One of my favorite restaurants in SF! The pizza here is divine and the restaurant is always buzzing. Always a line out the door on a Saturday night! Service is fast and to the point, no frills but gets the job done. Definitely ask for a side of chili oil and parm to go with your meal! The Lasagna Zucca was the perfect balance of sweet and savory, with a decadent béchamel sauce. The Diavola pizza was spicy, cheesy, meaty, and pickle-y (from the Calabrian chilies!). Also love the prosciutto pizza here is you're looking for something more fresh and light.

Been here a couple of times and it is a solid spot for pizza in the area. Get the Diavola if you like it spicy! Currently one of my favorite pizzas. Everything from the dough to the rich sauce, fresh cheese, and spicy salami is exceptional. They have great italian beer and wine selections as well as an aperol spritz to enjoy with your meal. We walked in on a Friday and they kindly accomodated us at the bar where we could watch the pizzas being freshly handmade and them use their brick oven to give it its unique and delicious flavor. We just got 1 pizza and a round of drinks so the service was fast and efficient. They have plenty of seating options both inside and outside and the place itself has a wonderful authentic charm to it. Definitely a spot I'll be returning to often. Highly recommend.

Il Casaro is a great spot for dinner! The ambiance is cute and the food is good! I've ordered pizza, pasta, and salad from here and recommend it as a great North Beach Italian option for folks in the area. The vibe is fun and feels almost celebratory. It would be fun for a night out or a first date when you don't want the vibe to be too stuffy or serious. Solid food and good vibes!

So good! Walked by during happy hour - great happy hr menu. Ordered 2 Stella's and a margherita pizza from the HH menu and ordered Mortadella Pizza, which was a white pizza and topped with pistachios! So good.....the only thing I would've done differently with the mortadella pizza was toast the pistachios a bit. Such friendly service. Would love to come back anytime

The service was great. The beet salad was delicious and the Diavola pizza was pretty good. The salami was a bit gamey. I think I'm just not a big fan of Diavola pizza. It was nice and quaint inside. They have a giant, beautiful wood fired oven. I'd go back for sure. I'd just get a different pizza.

Il Casaro is one of the most underrated gems on the always bustling Columbus strip of North Beach. Sure, the ratings on here reflect a restaurant that is worthy of a visit, but most people I mention it to have never heard of it, especially when compared to very famous (and worthy) neighbor, Tony's. The next time you're looking for a great margherita pizza at an unbeatable price, this is your spot. I love dining in here and getting delivered, when sometimes you can even snag a BOGO free margherita pizza through UberEats -- an unreal value. The margherita pizza is perfectly balanced with beautifully acidic and fresh sauce, house made mozzarella, and basil on a flavorful and slightly blistered crust. You don't need anything else, but if you want something else they make some of the most epic deep fried mozzarella rectangles (like sticks but AMPED) you will ever have.

Finally tried this place and it did not disappoint! This will be one of our new top pizza and pasta joints! We ordered the Il Casaro pizza and asked for it with a tomato base (comes without usually) - very good. We also had the lasagne with butternut squash - also very good, a tad sweet from the squash. No wait when we came around 6pm Sunday. Casual, lively ambience, with fast service. Highly recommend!

While visiting San Fransisco, we wanted good pizza and beer. All the workers here are so nice and it's such a nice vibe! Super cute! It was a very welcoming atmosphere. The imported mozzarella was so light and easy to eat. We got half Diavola Pizza and half Margherita Pizza. Wow, the diavola pizza had amazing taste. It wasn't too spicy at all. Definitely get the diavola if you're thinking about it. The pizza was so light and the dough was yummy. The lasagna was okay! Super filling and the bolognese had great flavor. I had a great time here and I will be coming back next time I'm in the area! They have a solid beer variety! Including Peroni's!

My dining companion and I intended to go to another spot for lunch but found it closed. We scrambled to find an alternative and discovered that Il Casaro Pizzeria was a short walk away. I'm so glad it worked out that way as our meal at Il Casaro, from the service to the food, was top notch. We started out our lunch with the burrata appetizer. Creamy olive oil drizzled and pepper dusted burrata served with crisp flatbread and fresh greens--what's not to love? It was divine. For my main, I got the quattro formaggio, which was a cheesy masterpiece. The sort of pizza that has you yearning more even though you're no longer hungry. It was lovely. The service was kind and attentive and the dining room was clean and welcoming. Get to it!

AMAZING food, service, and atmosphere. I cannot recommend this place enough. Customer service was some of the very best I've seen. Food was authentic, fresh, high quality ingredients, great presentation and all dishes were flavorful and well balanced. It was our first time in but definitely not our last, I wanted some authentic Neapolitan style pizza for my birthday. I was blown away. I will 100% be returning.

Yelpers did not disappoint when I was looking for a delicious, authentic Italian place to eat while visiting SF and I saw this place had good reviews. It is a small place with indoor and outdoor seating. We got a place inside by the window and we were able to people watch while enjoying our delicious meal. All the food was impressive and very reasonably priced. From what I remember they only had a small amount of beer choices. Staff was fine.

Pretty standard vegetarian pizza that arrived quickly on a weekend night! We got the 4-cheese one and Margherita with addition of cherry tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes were fantastic and juicy, I was very impressed with how they tasted. There aren't many vegetarian pizza options although you see a few on the menu; they are all combinations of same few items - tomatoes, evoo, basil & mozz! Parking here is definitely a challenge, we had to go around multiple times till we found a spot which was still a block away from the restaurant. So keep in mind if you go on a weekend!

My friends and I came here on a Saturday night for dinner. I had the prosciutto pizza, and they each ordered the lasagna bolognese. The lasagna was very tasty. The sauce wasn't too sweet and wasn't too tart either. The prosciutto pizza was also good but the bottom crust was a bit soggy. The service was okay (we had a friend joining late so we placed an order for her after we already got our food and it took a long time for that order to arrive, but not our initial order), but it was really busy and we went the same day as the North Beach 70th anniversary festival. The place was cute, a bit small but had a lot of seating, as well as outdoor seating.

We've been here once before. We were in the area and it was an easy decision to stop here again. The food is really good. I think everything we have tried has been excellent. My husband said the pizza was his favorite. I think the cauliflower was mine. It was simple and delicious. We sat inside by an open window and it was cozy and lovely to look at the people walking by. Superb service. We were treated nicely by numerous staff including servers (shift change) and buzzers. Overall, a great experience.

This place is really nice. The server was extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all our noob questions about Italian words and give us some good suggestions. We had the imported burrata and I cannot recommend it more. It was amazing, not too small quantity and came with an amazing flat bread and side salad. The lasagne zuccha & salsiccia was okay (nice cuz no beef but nothing special) but the peppers carried it hard. We absolutely loved the flavor and spice the peppers had and downed multiple bowls of it. We got the calabrese pizza which was a good white sauce pizza (even without the peppers)

So much to choose from on this busy street, but so glad we gave this place a try! There was both patio and indoor seating, and we opted for the latter while a lot of people opted for the former. The service was great and people were attentive to us and accommodated to the kids with a highchair (without even asking us yet) and coloring sheets, and strawberries! There was a bit of language barrier and requests to what we wanted, but the servers were so nice to help each other out and it got fulfilled (we asked for black olives on our pizza and marinara sauce on the side for the kids' pasta). We ordered the prosciutto pizza and it was delicious. A bit salty (because of the prosciutto) but delicious when combined with the arugula and olives. The pesto pasta was so delicious - the taste was subtle bit flavorful and the color, the nice green color was so appealing. The only thing we didn't really enjoy much was the calamari. We thought it was going to be breaded calamari but it was grilled calamari, so that was fault on our end. The tiramisu we ordered for dessert was so delicious. The shell of the cannoli could have been a bit softer (it was hard to bite into) but the cream was amazing. Looking forward to trying this place again for their airy pizza crust and other pizza creations!

This pizzeria was simply amazing. First, our waiter and waitress both spoke Italian! They recommended the Imported Burrata from the Mozzarella Bar and it was fantastic. The flavors of the burrito, cherry tomatoes and seasoned arugula scooped up by the bread was devine. They also recommended the prosciutto pizza to share and it too tasted amazing. The flavors fused together on that pizza perfectly without overpowering each flavor. We asked for garlic and got fresh garlic and oil on the side which we drizzled on our pizza. Love this place. Easy to walk to from our hotel. We sat outside this evening and they had the heaters on, and even though it was very windy, you didn't feel it under the tent and heater. People watched and waymo watched (yes the cars with no driver). We will be back again to this amazing pizza joint! Muah

Amazing food, truly a piece of Italy! Great staff-friendly and fast service! We loved everything we ate and drank. Right in the heart of San Francisco, beautiful day we were able to people watch outside. Highly recommend, their pizza crust is so delicious! The most perfect pizza I've had to date

A nice pizza spot in North Beach. The ambiance is quite cozy and they prepare the pizzas in front of us. The tables are quite tight together. The service was a little slower but it was quite busy and a Friday night so it is understandable. We got the beet salad, burrata appetizer, margarita pizza and Tiramisu. Everything was decent.

Our last meal for the most recent ladies trip, and I'm so glad we went! Pros- the food, it was delicious! You know when you take a first bite of a really tasty dish and your mouth goes into an automatic smile (it's my happy place!) well, several dishes here did that for me! Fresh imported buffalo burrata and their house made bread - burrata was super creamy and their house made pizza dough bread was perfectly chewy and soooooo good! Mmmmm! Pasta Carbonara- great flavors with perfectly al dente pasta, I'm actually still thinking about it and when I can go back for more! Tiramisu- it wasn't too wet. Sometimes tiramisu can get a little too soggy or saturated from the espresso. Their tiramisu was well balanced. One of the better tiramisus I've had in a long time! Also thinking about how this dessert will follow the pasta carbonara and the amount of walking and/or swimming I'll need to do to eat said meal! Other entrees we had were a spicy pizza (I couldn't eat it, was too spicy), but my friends enjoyed it. They brought over a side of the spicy oil and peppers, so if you wanted it even spicier, you could. Both of my friends thought it was quite spicy already, so didn't use any, but we did think this was a nice touch! We also had their original lasagna, also perfectly cooked pasta with nice rich flavors. Service was also great- friendly and helpful. Sunday was Mother's Day and they had several big parties, so they came by to apologize about our meal taking longer than normal...I honestly didn't think they were slow, but we all appreciated the waitstaff coming over to check on us. Cons- It's on a busy street, so if you drive there- that could be challenging. I'm definitely looking forward to my next meal here... I will bring my family since I know they'll love the carbonara, burrata, tiramisu, and we'll try a less spicy (ok, a totally non-spicy!) pizza! The pizza dough bread was so simple, yet so delicious! Looking forward to trying a pizza I can eat! Lastly, the waiters...two were working when we went and they both spoke Italian! Could listen to them all day! Lol...!

The food was super good! They give a generous portion of pasta, and I highly recommend the apps especially the burrata to share! The pesto sauce pasta was creamy and the pizza was yummy too. The service was nice too!

We tried burata salad and one of the pizza! Loved it. Service was quick, the restaurant was less busy. Its a small restaurant, with cleanliness maintained . Very close to chinatown. Parking can be an issue.

Good pizza spot, but not the best in the area. The margherita pizza was great and as was the Diablo. The highlight here are definitely the peppers. Great service and vibe throughout the spot.
