We ate here New Years Eve - friendly staff, lots of specials on the menu and the food was very good. If you have a car they have a parking lot next to the restaurant where you can park for a discounted rate (about $15 for 2-6 hours) if your eating here, a good deal in SF. more

We had such a good time here! We sat outside and the food just kept coming and coming, and it was all so tasty. We had recently returned from 10 days in in Italy and this really brought us back--right here in CA! The service was fun, we especially enjoyed watching Giacomo work the crowd and he even took on... more

We ate at this restauarant purely on the strength of Trip Advisor reviews. After getting off the Muni the restaurant doesn't look much from outside but how wrong we were. Greeted at the door the service was great from start to finish. A great meal (hndmade gnochi) and a superb bottle of wine (2006 Montelpulciano) with the staff chatting to... more

We were in San Francisco on vacation and ate at Piazza Pellegrini for dinner. it was a nice night so we sat outside at the sidewalk tables. They also have heaters in the awnings outside if it is cooler out. I had the best carbonara I have ever had! My husband had the penne arrabbiatta which he also loved. Tons... more

We parked behind this restaurant on a previous trip, but couldn't remember the name of the restaurant. Using Google Maps, I zeroed in on the location and found the name. We thought it would be just a convenient place to eat and park before seeing Beach Blanket Babylon. We were very pleased to find that the food was excellent, the... more

Pellegrini is a small restaurant in Little Italy on Columbus St. We stopped at a bigger place down the street and were ignored by the wait staff (they weren't busy), so we stopped at Pellegrini because we were hungry. The waiter seated us immediately, served us bread with olive oil/balsamic vinegar to dip it in. We just wanted pizza so... more

Our meal at Pellegrini's was delicious. The pasta was fresh, good bread and olive oil. We did sit outside because it was to hot indoors. It was a rather warm day on Oct. 1st and don't know if that had anything to do with it or not. As the evening got cooler we requested the outdoor heater to be turned... more

The food is good but the ventilation isn't very good, so that cooking smells pervade the restaurant. Lighting is bright, making it seem like an Asian restaurant. Indeed, most of the patrons seemed to be Asian. The wine prices were ridiculous for the class of restaurant - $36 for cheapest house red with a retail value of less than $10.... more

Good authentic food and service from real Italians in North Beach San Francisco. This coming from an Italian who doesn't normally eat at Italian restaurants because they are usually not as good as mom's. more
