SFGate ManagerJuly 16, 2012Early in the evening and late at night, look for free platters of salumi to go with the cocktails and wine.
Totally awesome wine bar, the Italian bar food has an authentic feel.- Try the housemade pate with rabbit, mustard greens, garlic and sweet chili. And a cocktail, of course.

Paigey L.June 14, 2013Waited 1hr 15 for a slice of pizza & an appetizer; everything was tasty but way too salty. Good food, suffocatingly upscale atmosphere. Probably won't go back.

"From that same owner that brought us Desco in Oakland before they lost their lease. Similar modern Italian fare. Beautiful space. I liked the pork sugo with spinach fettuccine very much."

"Brunch is excellent - donuts and the hash are killer. Never a wait!"
Marissa Coughlin - 8.3
"The best Neapolitan pizza in the East Bay and an amazingly broad selection of great Italian wines. Get anything by the producer Cantina Giardino if you like natural wine."
