Vega

Authentic Italian food in the heart of Bernal heights. Went there for dinner - absolutely loved the halibut catch of the day and the ragu papadelle. Restaurant was not stingy with the sauce and it was really tasty. You know the food is good when the owner knows the regulars and greets them ! And a lot of the diners were regulars which says a lot about the food !

Welcoming and authentic Italian restaurant in Bernal Heights. Was moderately busy on a Tuesday evening but they had a table for us as walk-ins. Great food and service. The rigatoni with meat balls was delicious, the warm artichoke starter was tasty. Nice wine list, Valpolicella and house red both lovely. Tiramisu is not to be missed! Appreciate the soft lighting and sound proofing which creates a cozy, enjoyable atmosphere for conversations and connection.

I walked in on a busy Friday night and the staff immediately found me a spot in a cute nook. The pasta was handmade and delicious. The burrata was refreshing. I can’t wait to come back!

I ordered the Rigatoni Al Forno with Italian fennel sausage, and it was delicious. I do think the dish could have used a little more spice, and I ended up adding some salt and pepper myself. Actually, I feel like most of the dishes could use a bit more seasoning overall to really bring out the flavors. My friend ordered the Gnocchi Della Casa with pesto, and unfortunately, it wasn’t great. It tasted pretty bland and even came out cold, which was disappointing. That said, the staff were really nice and friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming.

We love the food at Vega! I'm Sicilian so I'm very picky about eating Italian food out. I highly recommend the Impepata Di Vongole E Cozze. The mussels are always fresh and they give you plenty of wine broth with perfectly toasted Italian bread to mop it up. I would also recommend their grass fed beef meatball appetizer with the roasted polenta. The wait staff couldn't be any more attentive. We are so lucky to have restaurant Vega here in Bernal Heights!

Fantastic experience at Vega. I had the opportunity to meet the owner a while back and decided to stop by to prestige her restaurant and have a nice Italian dinner. Vega did not disappoint. It is certainly one of the best Italian places in the city, counting also with a pretty friendly and attentive staff. We had the sautéed calamari with beans, polenta with meatballs (absolutely divine), a four cheese pizza and also a seafood pasta dish with squid ink. They were all delicious. To me the highlight was the flavor and aroma from their tomato sauce used in their meatballs. Certainly homemade, fresh and very aromatic, it was delicious. The pizza had a nice crust I liked the pairing of the cheeses and the thinly sliced pears, the pasta was also delicious and had a very garlicky taste that I personally loved. As in our dessert, we really enjoyed their Creme Brûlée Cheesecake. To sum up, Vega is a gem and definitely worth your visit.

Really awesome Italian restaurant and was even able to be seated without any wait outdoors. The partially enclosed seating area combined with patio heaters were great to help stave off the SF cold air and light rain. Started with warmed artichoke hearts as an appetizer to share with 2 people and it was delicious, albeit on the expensive side for a single artichoke heart cut in half with a salad. Ordered the Wild boar stew special and it was fantastic. Great flavor but still fork tender. For dessert the tiramisu and the white peach torte were both fantastic. Some of the best Italian dessert I’ve had anywhere in the U.S.

So I'm not the first one to review Vega nor will I be the last one. I certainly wish I could give out halve points to be fair to them. Honestly I love this place , the location, the setting it just calls your name. The owner is always there friendly just like the touch and as I speak some Italian it does get an extra welcome response. I think I ate at least 10 times there over the last two plus years and I'm not tired of their food. It's also remarkable that they have increased their prices dramatically, eating out at Vega is still adorable and the quality of the food remains high. What to try u might ask. Well anything you crave that night. Saltimbocca, any of their pasta dishes, their meatballs, mussels, a salad ... you really can't go wrong. Add a glass of their house , at $8 for a Sangiovese you can't complain, could you now. I would give this place a 4.5 all around if I could..

Every time I'm in town, I make sure I eat here. I pick up the gnocchi with Gorgonzola and a Caesar salad. Plus Orecchiette with broccolini. And a side order of meatballs. The place is clean and the staff is super nice.

Love this place. I walk here with my service dog who loves Guiseppe! The servers have little doggie treats. And the veggie lasagna is to die for! I am getting a little Vega chubby because I come here so much! Yum yum.

Intimate vibe. Nice servers. Different take on the calamari, not fried. Lamb chops were subpar - small portions and served rare. The lamb is served atop bed of cornbread, which was tasty, but the overall plating wasn't eye catching. My recommendation is to go for the pastas or pizza (see photos). The birthday dessert option was the pana cotta. We enjoyed our friend's birthday celebration here. 4 stars are owed as the customer service was top rank!

If there's one cuisine I truly favor, it's Italian. And when I'm at home, Italian dishes are my go-to for cooking. While I'm not Italian myself, I do appreciate good Italian food and love the way simple ingredients come together to create something extraordinary. This was my third visit to Vega, and each experience has been delightful, from the wine to the insalata, piatti, and secondi piatti. On previous visits, I've enjoyed the pasta carbonara and the pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale. Tonight, however, it was all about the simplicity and elegance of cacio e pepe. The evening began with a glass of 2022 Scarpone Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, a beautifully full-bodied red with notes of red berries, a subtle sweetness, hints of tobacco, and light tannins on the finish. This paired wonderfully with the fresh bread and olive oil brought to the table. To start, I ordered the insalata Romana: a mix of arugula and radicchio topped with gorgonzola, toasted almonds, and a perfectly balanced balsamic vinaigrette. The gorgonzola was restrained, adding just the right amount of creaminess to complement the vinaigrette rather than overpower it. The highlight of the evening was, without a doubt, the cacio e pepe, or "cheese and pepper." With just three core ingredients--Pecorino Romano, freshly toasted black pepper, and pasta water--the dish delivered an explosion of flavor. The Pecorino provided a rich, savory backbone, the black pepper added a warm, spicy kick, and the pasta water brought everything together in a creamy, luscious sauce. We visited on a Wednesday around 5 PM without reservations. While the main dining room never fully filled up during our visit, there was a line of eager diners waiting to get in as we were leaving. The dining options include both indoor and outdoor seating, and the service was excellent--our server was attentive and accommodating. Vega continues to be a favorite of mine whenever I'm in Bernal Heights. Whether you're a fan of Italian cuisine or just looking for a consistently great dining experience, this spot is well worth a visit.

Really wonderful, family friendly place with warm service and good food. We stopped in after a few drinks at Holy Water next door. The prices on the menu are very reasonable and the size of the portions is decent. They brought us complementary bread that was super warm with a soft crumb. We had: Soup of the day ($11). 4/5. This was a non-dairy asparagus soup. Tasted fresh and creamy, which probably came from potatoes. Loved soaking my bread in this soup. Caesar salad ($13) 5/5. Pretty typical Caesar. Romaine was nice and fresh, with sauce well distributed but not soggy. Margherita ($16) 5/5. I really liked the crust on this pizza. Kind of chewy but crispy on the bottom. They brought it with spicy olive oil, which was absolutely delightful. I think the basil sliced is better than whole leaves because you get it in every bite. Pistachio layer cake (5/5). Shockingly good! The cake is so soft but the pistachio bits add a nice crumbly texture. Loved the layer of fragrant pistachio. Service was great, with several people checking in on us. Also saw a bunch of families having dinners here. Feels like such a nice neighborhood spot!

Stopped by for lunch while we were in Bernal Heights and enjoyed the vibe of this local restaurant. We had the margarita pizza and the special pizza that day which was meatball plus a Caesar salad. Pizza initially came out cold but our server graciously warmed them up. Tasty thin crust pizza we liked. Caesar salad didn't have much flavor and was more like cold lettuce. It needed something. Solid place for pizza and a beer, excellent service, and a nice local vibe.

Friendly atmosphere. Good wines and delicious pasta dishes. Very attentive. They now have a Parker very nice on a warm cool breeze evening.

Food was excellent! Service was good, a little slow but still very nice. It was a bit busy while we were there. Overall great neighborhood spot and bit of a hidden gem in Bernal Heights.

Was in town and needed a dog friendly restaurant. This place has a nicely covered outside seating area. We arrived during brunch. I ended up ordering a bacon and egg with onion pizza ,it also comes with cheese. My wife got the salmon sandwich. While waiting for the food,we noticed how many people walked by with dogs. Probably why this place is so dog friendly. The food arrived fairly quickly. My pizza had a great crispy crust, without being burnt.I was shocked at how tasty a breakfast pizza turned out to be. The sandwich was great,the bread tasted homemade,it really made a difference. It was nice to find a great neighbor restaurant, that wasn't overly crowded.

Vega is a neighborhood gem. The food is always delicious and the staff is attentive and friendly. The place is dim and cozy which makes it a perfect place to have intimate conversations with friends and family.

I ate there on 3/23. Order a pork roast, which was 75% fat. When I informed the waiter of the issue, he brought a piece 1/4 the size of the original piece of pork, which was 50% fat. My partner ordered cannolini that was a beast average. This is the second time I've ventured into this restaurant. The first time I ordered halibut, which came back as total "mush". While other might fancy this restaurant foods and high prices, I find there food very poor and certainly not worth the SS.

Great food and service! Easy to make reservations too. We went with our 6 year old and 2 year old and two seniors and it was very comfortable.

Enjoyed a delightful dinner with family here last week...a busy full Bernal heights restaurant on the charming Cortland Ave. Authentic Italian Food prepared with love and soul. Ample menu featuring top notch tasty pizzas, pastas handmade and a variety of sauces to temp any patron. Entrees are that of a menu one would find In Italy. The Caccio e Pepe was delish, the house salad was large enough to share with three people. The pizzas by far won the hearts of the table. They are still talking about how good it was. The service was spot one, glasses filled, check ins! One could not ask for any better service at a sweet neighborhood spot. We will return.

I had been coming here for the last 9 years and even after moving to SoCal would dine here every time I visited SF. This last time I noticed a HUGE difference. It's definitely not the same consistent quality and taste that I'm accustomed to. Even the bread they now serve is a dry wheat bread. The swordfish was paper thin, the pappardelle sauce was thick and overly tangy...not good! In addition, it used to be tough to just walk in and get a table. It was almost empty the evening we went. Hope it was just a bad night.

Fantastic vegan pizza, wonderful wine, excellent service, and warm ambience! Love Vega

Small, dimly lit, Italian restaurant. Good for date night. The food was really good. The portion sizes are pretty small though, I left still hungry. The capellini and lasagna were great. They were sadly out of the crab but replaced it with shrimp. Pistachio cake for dessert was good as well. Service was slow, it was 7:30 on a Friday night but still took forever for our server to greet us, bring our food, bring the check, etc. I'll be back to try the crab capellini, hopefully they have it next time.

We ordered two things and both were sub par. A pizza and a seasonal veggie lasagna. They both lacked depth of flavor & seasoning. Disappointed because over the years I heard great things about this neighborhood eatery. I was expecting more. Service was pretty good and I did like the open sir feel in there it was bustling on this Fri night. Food was a let down and I would not recommend.

Absolutely delicious! Went there last night with a friend. Fast service and amazing food. I love that they use local bread from Bernal Bakery as a starter. We got a salad with citrus dressing and candied nuts to start. Then split the steak with broccolini and potatoes as well as the rigatoni with meatballs. Finished with the panna cotta! Everything was 12/10!!!!

This Italian classics place is the center of gravity on Cortland, with a big warm friendly outdoor dining parklet. Get the lobster ravioli special or the lasagna special if they have it - but all the pastas are great. And so are the desserts.

I have been coming to this restaurant since I 1st moved to SF 2019 and it is now our favorite place to go in SF on a date night! Everything there is great, but I want to start with what I think makes this place one of the top spots in SF! I go here to see familiar and always smiling faces after a long day at work, after a flight or when I want to taste food like the one my Nonna used to cook! TY Vega for being so kind and making this place homey! Now the food.. Antipasto: I always get the Carciofini Ripieni and it comes with an amazing salad to start things going, their minestrone and octopus is great too! Primi Piatti: My favorite dishes are the Gnocchi Alla Boscaiola, the Carbonara, Fettuccine Al Ragu Di Cinghiale, and the Capellini Al Granchio.. although.. they always have an amazing special dish for us to try! Specials: If I had a wand, I would add the involtinis to the menu ohhhh woooow.. I had to order it a second time to take home! Its so hard to find involtinis not made with tomato sauce! I also love that they usually have a mushroom pasta dish in this menu and most days I go for it! Wine: I just let them recommend one and I have never been disappointed (yet) :) Dessert: Yes.. their tiramisu, and all deserts are great but.. we were surprised by their sorbetto! You can tell it was made with fresh berries and it was nice and light! Overall: You can tell that this restaurant cares about their people and the food, real Florentine authenticity, with a family dinner atmosphere! Their bread is from a local business nearby and their olive oil selection is always perfect! Looking forward to coming again and again!

My family and I love Vega. The owners come to the tables and check on guests; Peter (one of the best servers in the world) always provides top-notch service and friendly banter. The ambiance inside is warm and intimate, with low lighting. Outside, you feel the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood energy while being kept warm under the many heat lamps to keep the SF chill off. Service is good, food is good, and the specials are delicious. We love coming here. It feels like a warm hug when we come to eat, play a game at the table, and enjoy a nicely paced meal and wine.

I came here to order food for takeout but decided to stay and dine outside with my dog last minute because I enjoyed the ambiance. They were very accommodating. It was cozy next to the heaters despite the cold weather and overall the service was great. My dog was given lots of attention and treats. Last but not least, I ordered the squid ink pasta and it was delicious! It came with a side of bread and olive oil. I'd definitely come back again with my partner and friends!

I've enjoyed dinner at Vega many times, often bringing a friend or family member to spread the joy. The food is wonderful (my favorite tiramisu in the city) and the service is outstanding (Peter knows the BEST wine/food combos). Romantic low light ambiance. A dependable restaurant for a lovely experience.

I went to Vega tonight and was very disappointed. The lighting in the restaurant was so bad we couldn't read the menu or see the pepper when the waitress came to enhance the boring cesar salad my friend and I split the salad and had to split it ourselves on our butter dish then we also split the Entree and we had to ask for dishes so we could split the serving ourselves and were brought salad plates. I know it's not a five star dining experience but you can elevate it so easily the waitress was sweet but no restaurant experience. It needs help everything mediocre Cindy

I feel like Vega is such a hidden gem in the city! We love ordering the gnocchi and trying something new each time + the service is a 10/10.

This Italian spot is an adorable neighborhood gem. The service is lovely. The outdoor patio is covered on the sides and has heat lamps. There are ample options for those with dietary restrictions. But... the food didn't meet the expectations we had going in. I got the orecchiette and my husband got the vegetarian pizza with vegan cheese. We also got sides of mushrooms and sautéed spinach. The pasta and mushrooms were terribly under-seasoned. I had to add a LOT of salt. The pizza crust could have used a few more minutes in the oven. The best thing we ate was the complimentary bread, which was warmed and crusty. We really enjoyed our time here, but the meal simply wasn't worth it.

Great food and service! We've been going there for years now and doesn't disappoint and it is good for kids although the space is tight.

Really great food and service - we enjoyed the specials - tuna tartar and fish of the day. Will be back for pizza and more!

Lovely spot, lovely people working there. Food is great - the pizza arrabiata is my go-to. Good wines. Service can get slow if you're sitting outside (I think last time they forgot we were there) but it's not the end of the world.

Hands down the best quality gluten-free pasta I've found. They both a GF pasta and a short pasta. I've tried the squid ink and carbonara (which reminds me of Italian grandmas recipe) - both were delicious. I plan to work my way through the whole pasta menu. My friend liked the gluten-free pizza with vegan cheese so much she has gotten it both times we went! The chocolate cake is also gluten free! Service is great and they have suggested wine pairings. On a Wednesday they had half off bottles which made the bill super reasonable. Cute cozy vibe too.

Had dinner with a group of 7 at Vega, a small but great place for a group! The staff was wonderful, ensuring everyone could get drinks and the food continuing to come out when ready. We order Pizza Margherita, gnocchi, and calamari for appetizers. The pizza was delicious and a must try. Personally, I ordered carbonara with chicken. I'm someone who loves carbonara so personally, this one wasn't for me - lacked the favor. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and I was able to take a piece of the White lasagna and would definitely recommend.

Food was under-whelming. Gnocchi with butter and sage was disappointing. Two minuscule, withered sage leaves did not impart any flavor whatsoever. The butter also lacked flavor and richness. The gnocchi itself seemed to need another minute or two in the pot. To top it off there was no hint of seasoning. I generally eat what is prepared from the kitchen without any additional salt and/or pepper. In this case they were definitely called for. I asked our server. However she must have forgotten as she never came back with them. The "special" squash blossoms were encased in some odd doughy like substance and baked? They too were very bland. I'm sad that I have to leave such horrible feedback. One of the people in our party suggested that perhaps we all just ordered the wrong things. I don't think we will ever find out since I would be hard pressed to give them another try.

Vega is a true diamond in Bernal Heights! They recently started opening for lunch. I had the best minestrone and delicious lasagna! The server Joana was excellent, very professional and attentive. A definite place to dine with family and friends!

Their pizza is sooooo tasty. But their little expensive salads are a ridiculous ripoff. I ordered the caprese salad, which consisted of halved cherry tomatoes (CHERRY TOMATOES???), a few chunks of mozz, sparse basil and EVOO. The house salad with salmon cost a whopping $28 for some fresh, barely dressed greens, a tablespoon of grated cheese, a couple of walnuts and grapefruit slices, and a very thin, undercooked, fatty tail-end piece of salmon. Lunch for two without alcohol was $100. OUCH!!! Stick to the pizza and you will be fine.

Delicious pasta and Pizza highly recommend their calamari service is fast and delicious.

Are used to love coming to this place. The food used to be fabulous, the service attentive and the ambience was a little bit loud but cozy. My husband and I went tonight and unfortunately we were seated outside which was very cold and windy. They did have heaters which helped but not totally. We were sitting next to a large group with kids that were extremely loud that we couldn't hear each other talk. When we got our food, it took all of two minutes to turn cold. It used to be that no matter what you got it was fantastic which I'm very sorry to say, it was not tonight. The best thing that we had was the dessert which most likely is a store-bought item I had the gnocchi which was overdone and soggy, and there is not much flavor to the carbonara. It was probably my last visit unfortunately

Weeknight dinner, no waiting for a table. Ordered a bottle of red (2021 Masseria Li Veli Pezzo Morgana riserva) to split as we looked over the menu. This wine was excellent; dark, full-bodied and fruity. The lighting in the dining room was very dim. At one point, I pulled out my phone and opened the flashlight app in order for us to read the menu. When ordering appetizers, we asked if they had the stuffed zucchini blossoms (not on the menu). One of our party (a regular), said they sometimes have them if you ask, but sadly not this evening. We had the burrata and the artichoke appetizers. The burrata was ok, the artichokes were flavorful. We had the carbonara, the bosciaoli and the pappardelle for mains, with a side of asparagus (5 pieces for 3 people). The person having the carbonara said it was good. Two of us split the bosciaoli and the pappardelle. We asked if the kitchen could split them for us, but were told no so, we did it ourselves when the dishes arrived. I had been particularly looking forward to the bosciaoli with house-made gnocchi, having read praise on Yelp reviews. Unfortunately, I cannot add to that praise. The gnocchi I had were the opposite of heavenly fluffy pillows of goodness; they were heavy, chewy pieces of dough. The mushrooms and sausage in the sauce were fine. After eating a few gnocchi I gave up and tried the pappardelle. Here, the noodle was fine, though the boar sauce let it down. not tasting rich as expected, but rather one-note (like ground meat). We all had leftovers boxed and ordered the daily special cheesecake mentioned by our server, and the tiramisu. Both desserts were good, the cheesecake being the star; silkily creamy and delightful. The menu said there was marsala in the tiramisu, I could not detect any, but it was very delicious. The Negatives: -the room was very loud when full -the lighting was so low you couldn't see the menu or the colors of your food (diminishing the enjoyment). -entrees were mediocre The Positives: -the wine was outstanding -the desserts were excellent -the service was good

I'm giving them 2 stars since take-out of Italian suffers more than eating in the restaurant and the service was lovely. We went to Vega because a friend had been years ago and raved it was some of the best Italian they had and was worth a visit. We gave it a shot! We ordered the Caesar salad, shrimp pasta, rigatoni with meatballs, and margarita pizza. All the portions except the pizza were very small an underwhelming. The pizza tasted like wet flour and tomato ketchup sauce with a scant amount of cheese and uneven hand of basil. There was very little sauce on either pasta dish and it was bland and gummy. The angel hair pasta in the shrimp dish was the best part of the meal. The salad lacked sufficient dressing and had very little cheese and no croutons. We received a side of what looked like bread or a version of focaccia that was undercooked on the inside and hard as rocks everywhere else. We did call in our order and the staff were helpful and also very welcoming when we arrived. So the staff gets 5 stars!! I have read the food is inconsistent, and for my money and time I'd gamble elsewhere to find something reliable and amazing.

I love this place. Been going for years for special occasions, 50% off Wine Wednesdays, or just a great meal. Probably the best place to eat out in Bernal Heights. Now they even have vegan cheese for their pizza! I'd love to see it (and maybe a vegan ricotta in the mix) in some other dishes in the future!

Really enjoyed the food. We went as a family of 5 and had a reservation at 5:30 pm. Early I know, but we have kids and sports and all that! Ha! We had the sea bass special with risotto and English peas, the fungi lasagna special, the fungi pizza, carbonara and ravioli special. All were excellent dishes. They also have a very decent house red wine that is cheap and delicious. Comes in handy for a big family. The resto is a bit dark inside, but halfway through the meal they did bring candles. Lots of wait staff which were very attentive. The only reason this isn't 5s across the board is the constant pressure to finish your course, move to the next and get out. The manager was literally hovering over the table and asking us to speed up. After dinner, we asked for desert. They gave us menus but had absolutely no time to read it. The manager came over and immediately asked what we wanted. Rushed, we ordered the chocolate cake (for the person who had left for the restroom but we felt so pressured we figured we'd make a call), cannoli and the lemon sorbet. I'd describe the desert as mid, and definitely rushed. Similar to the other courses. We paid, left a great tip and left. Overall really good food and decent service. However turning over a table of 5 in less than an hour when they ordered 3 full courses and drank wine + non-alcoholic beverages was definitely a downside.

This was my first time at Vega. My friend and I had never really explored Bernal and we were immediately enticed by Vega's nice outdoor seating and overall nice atmosphere. We were immediately seated, even though it was a busy Friday night. Service was super friendly and fast, absolutely no complaints! I really wish I could rate this restaurant higher, but the food just was not great. Every dish was somehow missing something. While it wasn't necessarily bad food, it was disappointing given the high price point. If you're looking for bomb Italien food, this would probably not be my first pick.

We go to Vega all the time. Excellent pasta and fish entree options. Extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Inside and outside seating options. And in a nice neighborhood.

Excellent pizza and atmosphere. Received great service from the owner Peppe. I honestly recommend this authentic Italian restaurant.

This is an excellent family restaurant. Josepe and Vega are very welcoming and accommodating. We'll be back.

I came here when I was stuck in SF due to bad traffic on the Bay Bridge. I really enjoyed my meal. The staff was lovely and the food was good. I had the mushroom cannelloni which was very good. My only quibble, and its really a quibble, is that I would have preferred more bechamel tomato sauce on the plate. Flavors were very good. I had the panna cotta for dessert because they were out of my first choice. The panna cotta was very good, creamy, light and flavorful. I also enjoyed a nice glass of Montepulciano to accompany my meal. All in all a great experience. Will definitely go back!

Revisited Vega after a couple years hiatus. The marg pizza isn't as good as I remembered--not the thin crispy artisanal crust I recall. Mediocre at best. We also got the mushroom pizza gluten free version that was a bit chewy but I get that's what you get with GF. My main issue was with portions. I ordered for 3 adults. The meatballs are quite petit (maybe smaller than a ping pong ball) and a side order only came with 4. They were tasty but so few! The Paparedelle was flavorful & perfectly cooked, the side of spinach was good but again, the portion was tiny. The to-go tins are small (6"x8") & only 1/3 was filled (height-wise) and less than 1/2 the tin length-wise with the spinach. I know these are side dishes but 4 meatballs & a small clump of spinach? It was disappointing. The Cesar dressing left me Puzzled because it tasted like there was no anchovie flavor at all. I used to have this as a go to neighborhood spot for Italian food. Lupa Tratoria on 24th is a better bet. IMHO. I gave three stars because flavor was good on 3 of the 6 items we got.

Last night I revisited Vega. I had the Capellini with crab . Excellent and very tasty. A repeat in the future . My friend had the rigatoni. His standard order there. Always repeat for him. My only suggestion for improvement was a little more light in the main dining room so we can really appreciate the beauty of our food. Vega is still my favorite Italian restaurant in San Francisco

We shared two dishes . Vegetarian pizza was a soggy mess and with little taste. The pasta was a strange mix of slightly undercooked and slightly overcooked noodles. Sauce was fine to me; my dining partner found it bit bland. All in all, a disappointing experience.

Tonight was my 2nd time dining at this place - yes they are open during COVID - and yes it was safe and clean! Here's what we ordered: - Capellini al granchio (angel hair with crab) $21 - Pizza al quatro formaggi (4 cheese with pear) $17 - Margherita $14 - Tiramisu $10 - Panna cotta $10 EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! We got the angel hair BOTH times! It's light, fresh, and plain delicious. A generous serving of Dungeness crab. Try their dessert too! The place is small (especially with the sidewalk seating) and their service is amazing. All friendly and always asking how everything was!
