Alex F. • June 22, 2018If you are gluten free and love eating cheese with your wine, come here and ask for the gluten free crackers! (Also they have super friendly staff and a great selection of wine and cheese)

Cristina B. • November 10, 2012This is by far the best Italian restaurant in the city. Not only the food is delicious, but the friendly staff makes you feel at home every time. No matter what your order you will not be disappointed

Jonathan W. • August 17, 2014Definitely a top ten San Francisco ice cream joint. Delicious ice cream made on the spot, a scenic locale. Parking is challenging, so take a cable car or uber.

Peter B. • January 19, 2012Probably one of the best sushi restaurants in all of SF. Amazing fish, and great service. Sit at the bar and have the chef choose for you if you're adventurous.

Charlotte V. • March 28, 2023Soooo awesome!

Reserve • February 10, 2016The Maple Leaf Duck Breast is melt-in-your-mouth moist and served atop crispy duck confit hash, mache-roasted grape salad, fennel and huckleberry jus.

Jessica S. • July 30, 2014Allegro makes it into our top 5 dining experiences. We spent the evening talking with Lorenzo while having a delicious meal. He shaved the black truffles right onto the risotto. What a special meal!

Geoff R. • March 22, 2015One of the three best sushi shops in SF. Get the obligatory Flaming Seabass.

Tom E. • September 24, 2014The pappardelle al cinghiale and the bucatini all'amatriciana were both awesome but the pacherri was voted the best amongst our group. Got the feeling that you can't go wrong here.

static_signal • October 13, 2014Truly excellent falafel--crunchy outside, tender inside, green with parsley. Killer hummus, baba, yogurt/tzatziki. Gyros are doner kabab/shwarma style, not the strips of sliced meat. Hot sauce ftw!

Dave • December 14, 2021The “chicken and the egg” was really good, especially if you’re into Chinese- style black bean sauce and fluffy steamed egg. And of course, the cranberry maple pancakes are do-not-miss worthy.

Daniel T. • January 1, 2017Great value - portions are huge and highly affordable. Vegetables are fresh. Hong Kong style cooking makes this a must try - we had breakfast here everyday during our 5 days stay in SF.
