Wilson Favre-DelerueSeptember 25, 2016Good looking French brasserie interior, well executed classic Italian dishes and an epic tiramisu and panna cotta for desert.
Marianella CorderoAugust 5, 2016Absolutely perfect in every way. Dont miss the malfatti. Wine is exquisite.
Bobby MDecember 6, 2011Owned by Francis Ford Coppola, director of The Godfather movies. The penne arrabbiata and Syrah wine, both at the waiter's recommendation, were awesome. Definitely coming back.- .:. sAugust 13, 2015It's a pleasant atmosphere. Food was good. It had a New York feel to it. Felt the Francis Ford Coppola vibe here. The buidling is beautiful. Check it out.
Pocket SunAugust 8, 2014Nice wine selection from the Coppola winery. Wine flights available. French bistro vibe, Italian and Argentina food menu.
Jonathan BarnettJuly 23, 2019Excellent Happy Hour 3-6pm “We had the most relaxed, comfortable time in the heart of the city!”
The house wine (Coppola's own) is a great deal - I nearly always go for the appetizer plank and the arabbiata.
CarolynAugust 23, 2011Owned by filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, this cozy cafe serves up simple, hearty Italian food. Many of the wines poured here come from Francis Cord Coppola's vineyward, and movie memorabilia abounds!
Rose PuntilloJuly 15, 2018Pasta, pizza, apps, wine, the Staff, everything! I love this place...feels like my great aunt's house
Jonno NortonDecember 26, 2010Located in the historic Francis Ford Coppola Building entering North Beach from the Financial District on Columbus. Enjoy the Neopolitan pizza, putanesca, or just order wine and eat bread =D
Contemporary Jewish MuseumAugust 12, 2013The building containing this cafe houses several of Francis Ford Coppola's enterprises. He acquired the movie rights to "On the Road" in 1979.
Kati GiblinAugust 29, 2015Cool place to get some excellent wine and see people wearing really nice outfits!
Pierre CannSeptember 25, 2014Extraordinnary building ! And it belongs to Francis Ford Copola ! Enjoy a coffee or italian cuisine.
Scott StaufferMay 29, 2012Amazing food and atmosphere. A must stop in San Fran. Great salads and pizza as well as wine. AMAZING!
Eli HickoxApril 28, 2019Great Caesar salad. When it comes to their pizza, the simpler ones are better
Deanna RawlingsJuly 17, 2019If your interested in interesting 1,3 & 5 minute script read. Stop by Cafe Zoetrope!
Jacqueline epcarJuly 20, 2010True New York style pizza. Even the bread and olive oil are incredible. Try the wines. Everything's insanely delicious. Super nice wait staff.
Christian SchlenskerOctober 23, 2011Nice little vintage corner spot with good cappuccino, tasty pasta, and cool bartender.
nani escosteguyApril 22, 2011Penne alla alrrabiata (?) delicious but it's hot. Take care if you dont like spicy food... Try all the wine you can
Alix BloodworthJuly 7, 2012Try the Caesar salad! It originated here. Best I've ever had! Amazing pizza!
Eduardo MekitarianSeptember 22, 2014Nice place to eat. However, my pasta took 40 minutes to come in an empty restaurant, and worst, they made a huge mistake in my order. $23 (or more) for a spaghetti and meatballs, was not worthy.
Erik HessJanuary 17, 2011Well done New York pizza and pasta! Sit along the windows and watch the city roll by.
Peter WatkinsonDecember 7, 2011Great food, great wine, lousy acoustics. If you want a quiet meal forget it...
Olivia MezaJuly 8, 2017Pricey and not so good tasting food. Bathroom was dirty. The panacotta was perfect though.
They claim the Ceaser salad was invented here. At any rate it certainly was perfected here!
Laura W.December 7, 2011Could have been a perfect meal, but we were forced to leave halfway through because of one incredibly noisy group. We weren't the only ones they chased away. It's a restaurant, not a sports bar!
- AshleyMay 28, 2011The building is gorgeous, unfortunately my cappuccino was bitter and we were practically rushed out the door.
