We were recommended to this place by someone who tells me he has been dining here for many years when in SF. I was delighted with the entire experience, from the greeting and seating to the gracious way we were walked out to our car. The premises is very 'traditional' but not in the peasant Italian way - this is... more

The reviews I read were great however the locals kept telling us to go to Mona Lisa because it was the best! I decided to take my family (all ten of us) to North Beach. The service was good, the food was very good BUT THEY CHARGED US FOR AN EXTRA $48 BOTTLE OF WINE. I contacted them a few... more

Went to dinner with two friends. Heard it was excellent so decided to try it. As we sat at our table our waiter took his time about getting to us even though the place was not busy at the time. We order one round of drinks. We began to order and my friends wife ordered first. The waiter then asked... more

Our waiter was spectacular, and I was impressed most by the service. He was very... more

Our gnocchi was brought out to us quickly and it was wonderful. Although the portion could have been bigger. The waiter came to our table several times to see if... more

I had the duck, which was good, but I've had... more

disappointingly AVERAGE more

We happened upon this place and thought we'd give it a try. We found the service to be indifferent, with our waiter somewhat distracted. Whenever he was with us or at the other tables around us, he was constantly looking elsewhere in the restaurant or out the window rather than at his customers. We got little help with what to... more

over priced!!!! One of the people in our group said they did not know you could servce that small amount of food and still call it a meal. I am not a large eater and often order an appetizer for my mail course. This was ridicules. Two of the three of us had upset stomachs about an hour later as... more
