The Gold Mirror | Italian Restaurant

We made a reservation for dinner here after its renovation. I’m not sure how I’m the only one of the group who had never been. It’s a classic Italian restaurant in the neighborhood. We sat upstairs. We started with the calamari which was lightly dusted so you can really taste the squid. The shrimp appetizer sat on a nice bed of arugula which we also devoured. For our main, we each ordered various pasta dishes including the cannelloni and rigatoni. We capped off the night with dessert wines. What a lovely place!

Fantastic food and beautifully remodeled restaurant with amazing ambience. Great place for special occasion or weekend dinner. Menu included many good options. Definitely a must go.

The Food is so goood!!! We ordered Short rib ravioli, Carbonara and seafood pasta. tiramisu is a must for dessert!!! The service is excellent! The servers Wilson and John take good care of us. We waited 10mins eventho we reserved for 6pm.

We live next door to the original owners! Their sons have taken over and have been elevating the food and experience over the last 10 years. We were excited to try the restaurant after they'd been closed for nearly 2 years to do an extensive remodel. 4 of us went for a friend's birthday. The new interior is stunning! Amazing chandeliers. The back bar has mementos ranges across the shelves, and they've kept a tasteful nod to the original "gold mirror" decor. There is an upstairs dining section as well, and friends who've eaten up there tell us it's quieter than downstairs. We had a booth/table right next to the hostess stand, which turned out to be a great spot. Joseph our waiter was personable and made us feel immediately like we'd be well taken care of. The new menu is smaller than before the remodel, which is usually a good thing for quality. The list of specials was also very good. Everyone at the table lived their meal. The only disappointment was that there was absolutely nothing on the menu that was vegan-feiendly. Something that should be easy in an Italian restaurant. It's a minor complaint, but there are a growing number of diners who are looking for vegan options when they go out. Something to consider. The Caesar salad was delicious, we split 2 of them between the 4 of us. I had a veal special with prosciutto and the bread (which is better than ever) got put to good use mopping up the delicious sauce. The cannoli I shared for dessert was also delicious. Pistachio cream, and light flaky shells that were clearly freshly-made. You can spend a lot of you go for the pricier entrees, but you could also order a glass of wine and a pasta dish and spend less. We had a great time and a great meal, and are looking forward to going back to try some of the other menu items. It still feels like the neighborhood place we've been going to for 22 years, but is definitely now an upscale experience. Hope they'll be around for 50 more years!

The only reason why I'm rating the restaurant so low is because the service was terrible. I don't know if someone didn't show up to work tonight, but our area of the restaurant was abandoned. We watched other servers in other parts of the restaurant busily serving others but none of them stopped at our table for 20 minutes and that's only because we asked TWICE. At some point someone must have been assigned to serve us and he was nice enough. It's such a shame that this negligent service was our first impression of this restaurant because once we finally ordered (now well after 25 mins after seated), the food came out quickly and it really was all delicious. The calamari and grilled artichokes were excellent starters. The Caesar salad was nicely dressed and served with white anchovies which were nice and fresh and not salty. The main courses of Chilean sea bass, eggplant parm, and lasagna, were all delicious. Because the food was so good I'm willing to give this place another try. Hopefully tonight's poor service was just a fluke.

A bit disappointed with the food after all the hype surrounding the renovations. It was our first time and we’ve heard great things from friends but recently the overall experience was not that great. We ordered 4 different pastas and 2 of them were decent (lasagna and ravioli) but the carbonara was extremely salty. Trust me, I generally like salt but this was overkill. I enjoyed my cocktail but my dining partner didn’t care for hers. She inquired whether it would be sweet leaning and the server said it wasn’t too sweet but, in fact, it was. For the quality and price, there are much better Italian restaurants in SF.

Such an institution and so happy to have dined here for the first time! All of the good people in The Gold Mirror treated us like family, it is such a warm familiar dining experience and the excellent food was just another upside. Have learned too that I should order a calamari appetizer just for me, not to be shared and anyone in the table who wants it should also get one for themselves! The calamari is just the best: by itself as a starter, as a dip for the warm bread and to complement the delicious primi and secondi. To me, it belongs to all the menu progressions: as antipasti, primi and secondi and possibly also a to-go! Love love this place and the staff that run this go-to SF icon of a restaurant.

Food is delicious. We got the short rib ravioli, and New York steak and calamari. Our bartender Walde made us very delicious drinks and was very helpful with suggestions from the menu for both food and drinks. Really liking the remodel which kept some of the old vibes but a little more modern. Parking isn't the worst but we were able to find parking close by on a Friday night.

We had a family birthday dinner for 10 the day after Christmas, and it was the best experience we've had all year! Even making the reservation was pleasant because the hostess fit us in on that Friday night just because my husband was understanding when she initially didn't have a reservation available. We started with cocktails at the bar - refreshing, with friendly bartenders! We were brought to a beautiful table on the second floor for dinner (the entire restaurant renovation is gorgeous!). Joseph/Joey, our server, made the night with his impeccable, knowledgeable service, all with a twinkle in his eye, and the best sense of humor. We never felt rushed, even though the restaurant was full, and every one of us agreed our dinners were well-sized and completely delicious. My Mom said her rack of lamb was the best she's ever had. To top it off, we went with Joseph's recommendation of the "Witches' Brew" coffee liqueur for dessert, and it was a revelation. We have lived in SF all our lives, in the Sunset, and we're soooo thrilled to have a fine dining restaurant back in the neighborhood with yummy eats and great service! We'll be back again and again!

A great girlie night out. We were seated upstairs and our server Guiseppe was top notch. He tended to our every need, running up and down the stairs for our order and the little extras we requested. We had the shrimp and avocado salad, the short rib ravioli, and the chicken Milanese drizzled with a a light caper lemon butter sauce and topped with arugula and cherry tomatoes. The newly rennovated place has the old word San Francisco neighborhood charm. Of course, I had my Campari and soda.

After a two year remodel, we finally tried the newly reopened Gold Mirror on a Wednesday night, thinking it might be quieter. No luck, still very crowded for a 7pm reservation and we had to wait 15 minutes. While waiting, we had a manhatten and cosmo at the beautiful new bar, to a tune of $35. Yikes, the Sunset pricing has gone up! We were led to a table upstairs, which seemed like the locals/dress down people. Ask to sit downstairs if you go as upstairs has low ceilings and atmosphere not as good. Service was fine, we had a pleasant Irish woman waitress who was fairly prompt. We split an avocado shrimp salad, which had generous proportions ($24). A glass of a nice Chianti set us back $21 each. Everything seems to have jumped 30% in pricing. Husband had the petrale sole with rice and veggies ($42). I was waiting for my favorite lasagna (now $34) but it's not the same. Too cheesy and not enough meat, though the pasta seemed homemade. They now use bechamel sauce, which is a bit rich for me. Took half home for leftovers as it was a large portion. With tax and tip, total was $200. Though they were crowded, not sure how the average west side diner can justify coming here weekly like the old days. San Francisco is just getting too pricey for the average citizen. One of my favorite restaurants is now on the special occasion list.

Elegant clean busy space. Did not have reservations but we ate at the bar. Our orders had good flavor but the pasta consistency was off. Rigatoni was slightly undercooked ( more than al dente) and the lasagna lacked pasta overall and looked and felt like a pile of mush. Overall just okay but wouldn't go out of my way for this place.

I haven't been here for years and way before the remodel. So I happened to look at open table and was pleasantly surprised to find a reservation on a Sunday at 4:45pm for six people. When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty much full. It was a feast for your eyes. The bar looked stocked and inviting. The ground floor was beautiful with high ceilings. We sat at the bar for a drink which would set someone back about $50 for 3 cocktails. We sat at a round table for six next to the kitchen. It was pretty noisy as I couldn't hear my friend talking two seats away from me. Our waitress was Jessica. She was very pleasant but also very busy. We ordered 2 orders of calamari and 6 entrees. The calamari had no sauce accompanying it and was a little greasy. The plate was also very small for $22 each. We looked around and my hubby noticed some tables had bread and some didn't. So make sure you ask for bread which comes with butter. When I asked for bread again, they didn't bring the butter. We ordered 2 orders of the short rib raviolis. It was delicious and packed with meat with some mushrooms on top. One of my favorite dishes of the evening. Of course the dish could have been bigger. All the other entrees were good too but the other standout was the weekly special of Chilean sea bass. It was cooked perfectly and very tender. The rack of lamb was ordered medium rare and came more medium and the lampchops were small - must have been a small Australian lamb. The salmon was cooked more than I liked. The lamb pappedelle was flavorful and I loved the wide pasta noodles. We informed our waitress we were sharing everything but we still had to keep asking for serving utensils. And our water glasses needed refilling constantly but sat empty often. We had to ask the status of our Chilean sea bass and waited 20 minutes for that last entree. I think we exceeded our time limit of 2 hours dining just waiting for the bass to make an appearance.

We tried this for the first time on a Friday night and the place was absolutely packed with old and new patrons following the Gold Mirror's two year renovation hiatus. We didn't have a reservation, but were told we could take a seat at the bar (first come, first served). We ordered a burrata appetizer, two pastas, a dessert and 2 drinks each (4 total), which came out to ~$218. The bartenders were really friendly but overwhelmed with the number of people drinking and eating a full dinner at the bar, making drinks for the tables and for the guests waiting for their tables. Overall, it's really nice to have a classic neighborhood Italian joint in Sunset/Parkside.

Excellent food & service in a beautiful space. We had a wonderful dining experience here. Make a reservation. Street parking. Lots of options on the menu for food and beverages. There is indoor dining, an outdoor parklet with heating lamps and a full bar area you can also eat at. For starters, we shared a Caesar salad which was lightly dressed and topped with a couple of anchovies, Parmesan & croutons. We also shared a platter of different salumi meats, cheese, nuts & toasted bread. Complimentary warm crusty slices of bread with butter. The duck pappardelle was delicious, with homemade wide strips of pasta. The veal chop was also very good and was served with a side of broccolini & Italian green beans, potatoes, and a nice jus sauce. Everything was perfectly cooked. Our dining companions had the bucatini carbonara with pancetta, veal Marsala, veal Parmesan and seafood & pasta. Extensive wine list. We enjoyed a couple of the Italian red wines. For dessert, we had the tiramisu, profiteroles, and the Makers Mark gelato. We really enjoyed our meal here and the ambience. Thank you. We will be back.

They opened up on a Tuesday night for us for a private event. We had the entire restaurant to ourselves and enjoyed excellent food and service. The fish and lamb racks were especially over the top. All the appetizers and the bread pudding dessert were amazing. The remodeled interior looks great. Bravo!

Had my birthday celebration here. The food was absolutely delicious. Our waiter Joseph gave us some recommendations like the mushroom chicken fettuccine, and the whiskey ice cream.. Joseph's recommendation and stories added to our wonderful experience at the Gold Mirror

I went here a long time ago but I still remember it fondly. The bar scene was fun, great bartender and generous drinks. The ambiance was warm and inviting. Too bad mi didn't love my date!

-ambiance was lovely since remodel -service was very good till dessert order took way too long; for an Afogato. Got busy. -food: carbonara was rather salty; rib eye steak was tasty but had gristle galore. Veggies were delicious. i still enjoy going there & will be back.

What a gorgeous restaurant with the best Italian food in San Francisco. Yes, that's what I said. We are so blessed to have this family owned restaurant on the west side of San Francisco! The remodel has taken this wonderful old Italian neighborhood restaurant and made it as gorgeous as any Napa Valley restaurant I've seen. Sergio is a wonderful addition to the restaurant. He is so attentive and kind and always willing to help adjust a reservation or make you feel comfortable. Also, the ladies at the front area are the sweetest and most professional. Let us not forget the fabulous Di Grande brothers who make this food to die for. Do yourself a favor and come on down for the most exquisite meal you've had in a long time in our fair city. Whether you sit at the bar and have a drink and appetizers or enjoy yourself at one of the tables -you will not regret this fantastic culinary delight!

Last week we went with friends to the Gold Mirror for the first time since it reopened. Great meal (Caesar salad, Fried Artichoke salad, Short Rib Ravioli were highlights), very good service. I like the new decor, and I feel they have upped their food game (though I wish pizza was still an option). It's very popular, so you need reservations. We will definitely go again.

Back and better than before! We were a group of 6 with a very early reservation (4pm), but from the start they were warm, welcoming, and eager to ensure we enjoyed our meal. Joe, our server, was exceptional - he provided a thorough overview of the night's specials and got us off to a great start. We started with a round of cocktails, most chosen from a very interesting and innovative list and all executed with precision. I was pleased to see several familiar dishes on offer, but a lot of newer options too! It was very hard to choose (like it always was), but I landed on the avocado shrimp salad and the veal marsala. Both were generous portions and delicious. Other dishes we enjoyed: Tripe, Sweetbreads, Halibut, Cannelloni, sausage and lentil app. Their wine list is so reasonably priced, the new interior is gorgeous...it was a fantastic evening. I wish we lived closer to this end of town so we could come here more often, but it's worth the trip!!

This place was just remodeled and looks Great. The food remains awesome. The prices are comparable to those of Original Joe's. The staff are very attentive to our needs. Glad that they are back in business.

My friend and I were excited to go back to the Gold Mirror tonight after its recent re-opening. The place looks amazing - and the bar is really beautiful. As we've always done, we sat at the bar - this was about 4:30PM - and it wasn't very busy yet. While the food was great, the service was not. The servers at the bar were not attentive, did not understand our order, and were generally not very professional. My friend ordered appetizers for her "main dish" and they brought them both out at the same time while I waited another 20 minutes for my entree. I get this may have been a misunderstanding, but it was pretty evident after awhile that I was waiting for my meal and they didn't acknowledge me or provide an update on the timing. I've noticed even before they remodeled the place - the Gold Mirror never seems to have enough staff behind the bar. In the past, the bar service has always been "ok" - but tonight was exceptionally bad. I got the impression the servers knew how to make drinks, but did not have the communication skills or service orientation to care for the guests. I'm sure I'll go back at some point- but I really urge the owners to hire experienced bar staff who can communicate well and juggle the busy bar.

The place is supremely beautiful. The service was excellent, the food is exquisite and I loved the bar and drinks. I ordered the Citrus Sunset , it's a sour cocktail with no egg whites and uses vegan foam which I never seen before. It was amazing !!

Amazing food! Beautiful remodeling. Service fell a little short. Drinks took forever and arrived garnish free. Joe, our waiter forgot to bring us dessert that we ordered and had to come back and take the other again. We weren't in a rush but really? Food was excellent and that's what really matters. I'll go back again and give them another try since they have a good selection on their menu. Sure wish they had Prime Rib. Still have to go to Joes or Nicks for that. Seems they need more employees like Joes of Westlake to give the service experience that's essential at this price point. Still working out the bugs but definitely worth a visit.

This was our first time going to Gold Mirror. The staff were very friendly and accommodating when waited at our table for 45 minutes for two guests who were no shows. The placed was packed and very busy. We received excellent service and every dish we ordered was plentiful and delicious. We will definitely be returning. It was worth the 40 minute drive.

The worst service !! 30 mins to be greeted by waiter. awful experience. neiborhood restaurant gone to hell. food okay loud cant hear anyone at table. service was terrible i had a fly in my glass of wine then offered a half a glass. Completely unexceptable service and the waiter got a well deserved zero tip on a 300.00 over priced bill The manager Sergio is terrible and lacks customer service ! Being in the neighborhood this is a disaster and will never return or give this restaurant a recommendation. Think your remodel was great think again its an embrassment !! One unhappy customer !

Friends giving at The Gold Mirror was great. Served by Joe we had a great evening. The renovation was really well done, It's modernized, but keeps that classic feel. The Lamb was as great as I remember and Mary's Chicken was great. They even remembered to remove the capers from a dish. Thanks Joe! Be well! We recommend.

We had a 6pm reservation, showed up at about 5:50pm. Checked in and grabbed a drink at the bar. At 6:05pm, I checked with the host stand about our table. There was some confusion about timing and tables and I was eventually told "5 more minutes." At 6:18pm, checked with the host stand again as we had finished our drinks at the bar, we were met with more confusion and another "oh well 5 more minutes." Finally at 6:35pm, one of the three hostesses grabbed us for our table and sat us. Once seated, our server was great, attentive and engaging. We ordered an appetizer for the table and a round of drinks. The charcuterie plate took about 20 minutes to come out, during which we ordered our main items. From the time we ordered our mains to getting them was about 90 minutes. There seemed to be a big back up and confusion in the kitchen as most tables had no food and most servers were in the window checking on their orders. The food finally came and was mediocre at best. In short, the host staff was abundant but clueless. The bartenders made good drinks but were a bit inexperienced. The wait staff was solid but held up by a confused kitchen. The food was just ok. Overall, a very disappointing experience. If you want good drinks and Italian food, there's other, better spots. Hopefully the Gold Mirror tightens up operations as it used to be a great SF staple:

Went last night after reading about the reopening in the SF Chronicle. I am into old school restaurants like Tadich Grill and Scoma's so this sounded right up my alley. I also cook a lot of Italian food myself, and oftentimes when we go to an italian restaurant, my husband and I end up saying that mine (whatever dish) is better lol. The place was packed. We had 7:30 reservations - or so I thought. I screwed up and our reservation was for next week. The hostess, who was very nice told us that we could eat at the bar if we wanted to but there wasn't anything available at that moment. We were working on plan B, but then she said that she could probably seat us at the bar in 15 minutes or so if we wanted to wait. We did and I'm glad we stayed. We started with the Sicilian sausage and lentils which was absolutely fantastic. It's the type of rustic Italian dish that I love. The sausage was tender and fennel-y and the lentels were earthy and delicious. We both had the caesar salad which was very good with white Sicilian anchovy on top. My husband had the ravioli and I had the chicken piccata. I usually like my chicken piccata better than that which I get at a restaurant but not this time. It was tender & lemony and full of capers. There were 5 medallions of chicken served with rice and broccolini. It was great. All in all we loved the food and our experience at Gold Mirror.

Our entire experience can be summed up upon entering. A gaggle of young girls who could have been sisters were congregated at the hostess desk deep in gossip. Not one greeted us and we stood there waiting and waiting. After about 30 seconds, a fourth girl who had we hadn't noticed popped up from being crouched below, quickly covered her mouth, and through half-macerated calamari asked us the name on the reservation. The food was mid. The service was meh. We took a $40 Waymo from "the city" and we'll just go to north beach next time.

Fantastic food and impeccable service. Our server Joseph was a consummate professional -- attentive, friendly, and helpful! Wilson was also a plus on the service. Perfect place to celebrate family birthdays!

We've been coming to this restaurant for years and absolutely love it. The good, service and ambiance are amazing and we look forward to our next visit very soon.

Welcome Back! Better than we remembered so glad this restaurant is up and running again and looking fabulous! The cocktails, calamari and lamb Ragu were excellent and the veal chop paired with the Chianti Classico was life-changing! Excellent job!

They're Back and Better Than Ever! We ate at The Golf Mirror for the first time in two years since their long-awaited reopening after renovations -- and it was absolutely worth the wait! Our waiter, Joseph, was there before the closure and is still as amazing as ever. He's kind, friendly, and incredibly attentive -- his cheerful attitude and spot-on recommendations made the whole evening extra special. We came as a family and had been looking forward to this for years. The food did not disappoint -- the cannelloni was fantastic, and the burrata and tuna tartare appetizers were to die for. The menu has been upgraded with some great new dishes while keeping beloved classics like the lasagna. The renovation is stunning -- elegant yet cozy, giving off the timeless vibe of a classic Italian restaurant. This is a perfect spot for a date night or a special dinner with family. The entire staff was wonderful, and I highly recommend requesting Joseph -- he's truly one of the best around!

Waited almost 2 years for one of my favorite places to reopen. The remodel looks great, the food was as excellent as before. They clearly want to have a classic and newly invigorated cocktail experience. The Bar is beautiful, Great new cocktails offered.

So glad this wonderful restaurant reopened! The ambience is outstanding. So warm and inviting. It is great news to have a neighborhood place open again. The service was excellent. Our waiter was courteous, prompt, and gave great recommendations. The gin beet cocktail he recommended was so good. We started out with the tortellini appetizer and the avocado salad. They even split the salad for us so it was a perfect serving. Both were so flavorful. The sole was amazing and the Chicken Parmesan was delicious. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I look forward to going back soon. Thank you, Gold Mirror!

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful dining experience the other evening at Gold Mirror. Our waiter Joe was just the right mix of enthusiasm, entertainment and knowledge. He offered selections and I finally just said bring me what you would order and it worked out perfectly. As for the bar service was slower than an old turtle. when drinks did arrive no napkins were provided and I had to ask three times for water. Also a fellow in an ill fitting jacket was reprimanding my waiter Joe while I was trying to order a drink from him. I'm found this to be an unnecessary delay and why was he reprimanding in the dining area. I stood there uncomfortably for sometime while Joe was helpful the other fellow was not. This upset my GF. I'll be back but I hope the bar and that fellow get squared away

I had a wonderful time recently at the Gold Mirror. The atmosphere was festive and the wait staff and patrons all were in a great mood! The interior has been revamped but still retains that cozy yesteryear feel. I have to call out our waiter Joe! He took excellent care of us and helped with our meal decisions. I had the Rack of Lamb drizzled in a sumptuous sauce with potatoes and asparagus. Delicious!

We went on a Saturday night and it was so lively and the energy was amazing. Everything from the food, service, drinks, and vibe was wonderful. We brought a bottle of wine because we didn't know what to expect but next time will order off their list. Pricing and selection was great. Can't wait to come back!

After a long renovation it's finally open and couldn't be better. They did a beautiful job it looks fabulous just beautiful. The food is as good as it always was as is their staff. I highly recommend the Gold Mirror for an excellent dining experience.

We have been coming to this restaurant for years since it's a neighborhood staple. Just came back for the first time since the renovation and Joseph was our server. 12/10 dining experience, food, drinks, service. Absolutely no notes. If you're lucky enough to have him as your server, you are in for a wonderful evening. So excited our favorite place is back!!!

The remodel is lovely. Our waiter John was great. The food was delicious. So glad this long time favorite is back

Really nice to see this wonderful restaurant refreshed & reopened! The veal parm was exceptional. We look forward to our next visit for another great meal out at the GM!

Excellent service and food was delicious. Veal scallopini with mushrooms was very tender and the sauce so tasty. Chicken piccata and petrale also good. To top it off tiramisu creamy and decadent. Very crowded and noisy but didn't mind. And parked at a meter a block away. Old natives are glad they are back and better.

I'll preface this review by saying it makes me very sad to give this place less than 5 stars. Over the last twenty years, I've enjoyed many dinners at the Gold Mirror. I've always considered it one of my favorite spots to get a wonderful plate of pasta. This version of the Gold Mirror is simply average. We were seated right on time, but our server Joseph was clearly overwhelmed. He made contact with us and took our drink orders. I ordered a mixed vodka drink but received some type of whiskey beverage. Joseph instinctively blamed the bar and took no responsibility for the error. On the second round, I received a vodka drink but it was not the one I requested. I gave up and drank what was served to me. Joseph finally took our dinner orders. I ordered the soup of the day, which was onion along with rigatoni bolognese for my main. My husband ordered a lamb pasta dish, while our friend ordered the salmon. The onion soup was one of the saltiest dishes I've ever tasted. It was as if someone took Lipton soup mix, didn't add enough water and topped it off with salt. It was way too salty. Our main dishes took a bit of time to arrive, but were the highlight of the evening. All three of us were pleased with our selections. Because their past diners tended to linger, there is a 90 minute time limit imposed on the tables. I understand. However, the service remains fairly slow so you will be checking your watch to make sure you can finish chewing your last bite before hitting the 90 minute mark. This is a three star review because our main dishes were great. However, the onion soup was unforgivable and the service is slow and spotty. The remodeled space is gaudy and ugly. They should have fired their interior decorator. Lastly, who puts toilet seat covers closer to the door than to the actual toilet? Gold Mirror I loved you once, and I hope to love you again.

If this were just to review the food it would be a five. I've enjoyed the Gold Mirror for a very long time. First time back since the remodel and happy for them that it got such stylish upgrade. Food was outstanding (veal piccata and wife had duck raggu). Service was horrendous. Took 30 minutes to get a drink at the bar. Waiter was an indifferent oaf. If I owned the place I'd be pissed to realize how much money this staff is costing me, not being attentive. Our group would have had another round at bar prior to being seated (we got there 45 mins early), and prob would have had a second bottle of wine if our server weren't Halley's Comet.

Gold Mirror Italian Restaurant Came here for a fantastic medical dinner and got to try their wonderful selections of food! Started off with the house made ravioli with mushroom cream sauce, then indulged in some yummy pesto pasta. I was already feeling a bit full from the family styled appetizers but for my entree I chose the filet mignon, medium rare, with bone marrow reduction. I was surprised I was even able to finish my steak, but I'm glad I did. It always tastes best when it's right out the kitchen. But my favorite was definitely the pesto pasta, it was made just right and the sauce hit the spot! The staff was amazing and did a wonderful job. The food was great, and close to where I live. Hope to be back soon!

PASTAA I was craving pasta and tiramisu for the longest and it was fun getting surprised here for a dinner date! Walking through the doors you've teleported into a new space. The vibes are great and staff are friendly. Mostly an older here but nevertheless very yummy! This is definitely authentic I'm craving it as I'm writing this review xD!

Old World Charm. Good fresh food. Friendly service. Gold Mirror is a San Francisco icon and has been serving the city for more than 50 years. We always come for the authentic, fresh Italian food. My favorite is the Good 'Ol classic Spaghetti and Meatball Bolognese and it's made perfectly every - single - time. Between our party of 3, we ordered the following dishes: * Beef Tripe Appetizer - very good * Minestrone soup - First time I've had a 'white' minestrone soup... it lacked flavor and the abundance of ingredients. Didn't like it. * Shrimp and Avocado Salad - Flavors are good but the salad was a bit soggy. Overall an ok. * Spaghetti and Meatball Bolognese - excellent all around! Flavors, portion and the perfectly mixed sauces ... yummy * Short rib ravioli - very good and full of flavors. * Chicken Marsala - Perfectly cooked... excellent! Overall a great meal at Gold Mirrro!

Good food- great service! We sat at the bar because it was full and no reservations were available. I would recommend and go back in a minute right when they open at 4pm.

If you want a taste of traditional Italian cuisine and ambiance, Gold Mirror is your restaurant. The food was outstanding! Guiseppe is an excellent waiter.

We were fortunate to have Gold Mirror serve pizzas at our annual golf tournament. The dough was whole wheat and crust was thin and chewy. We tried the sausage, pepperoni and prosciutto. All were amazing. I can't wait to make it out to their family restaurant in San Francisco go check out the rest of the menu!!! 5/5 for food, ingredients and amazing customer service!

Had dinner here with friends a little while ago and just now writing the review! I hadn't been here in many, many years so it was just like a first time for me. Two of us had the salmon piccata and two had the petrale sole. My salmon was cooked just right... not overdone! It was fresh and deliciously flavorful. It came with some green beans, cooked just right, and rice pilaf. I was so engrossed in catching up with my friends that I forgot to take pictures of the restaurant, menu, and dishes before they were eaten! Luckily, I remembered before I consumed the whole thing! The only unfortunate thing was that we came on St. Paddy's Day, so it was *really, really* loud and we were seated right next to the bar. We couldn't hear each other without shouting; it made for a shorter evening and strained vocal chords! The waitress was friendly and efficient and the warm bread with butter was a yummy addition to our pre-meal munching.

Had some great meals here. Generally busy, especially weekend, holidays. They do a whole restaurant house sing with the waiters/bartenders, even you if you're up to it, during the December holidays. Instagrammable. Solid, well made, classic Italian dishes. Good drinks. Solid desserts. We're always pleased we came.
