ChrisOctober 23, 2014Very enjoyable dinner! Friendly staff and a great show sitting at the bar watching the chefs.
Natalie KAugust 1, 2018Crab diavolo linguine was awesome. Be prepared to wait “30 mins” (aka 1 hour).
- Lena YeNovember 6, 2014You can't go wrong with the seafood pasta or the seafood risotto. Warning - huge portions!
Daniel AraujoNovember 20, 2011Its definetly a must go in SF! Incredible italian sea food cuisine... You must come early or you will be standing a long time outside- Travis GossenMay 5, 2015Best Italian seafood I've ever had. The half carafe of white wine is an awesome deal.
Katsu GotoAugust 4, 2015A nice seafood restaurant in a nice neighborhood. Risotto or pasta, that is the question.
Eric AndersenJanuary 10, 2013The pasta with seafood is excellent…as is pretty much everything here. Wow!
Shannon MadisonMay 23, 2012Cioppino h8rs shd die. Best SF cioppino hands down, NO "crap fish" just sheer fresh, local, daily seafood love.
Kathleen ClarkMarch 31, 2010It's all seafood and so fresh. Our server was very knowledgeable about the diff. types of seafood. The place is small, so expect to get seated at the bar. Great place for oysters!
Massi BotteroAugust 6, 2017Stop going there! Seafood is mostly frozen and the service sucks except if you come there as a compliant and admirative. Their pasta is pre-cooked, so never proper. Maybe the crab is ok, oysters too.
schneidermike schneidermikeNovember 19, 2012The cioppino broth is elite if you like it a tad sweet. It doesn't get better.
MNovember 29, 2011From wine while you wait to a veritable vat of delicious cioppino... Definitely an experience worth having. Staff are a hoot.
Sasha HeDecember 18, 2011The cioppinp was off the chizzo fo shizzle! Enough to share between 2 people, and we licked the plate clean. ;)- Emilio MartínezDecember 8, 2014Order the cioppino. It is utterly delicious!! Service is great and very friendly.
Byron KJune 20, 2015They were not kidding when they claimed that this is the best damn crab cioppino.
Scallops were amazing, in a crack-based lemon butter sauce.
BonobosAugust 15, 2012Bring a friend and share a pot of the cioppino. It's a must for seafood lovers.
Dee PMay 28, 2012The seafood cioppino was definitely worth the wait! Wonderful staff and warm environment..
Desa FernandezDecember 30, 2012Linguine with clams was amazing. I love the employees sassy attitudes. :)
Mark WestallMay 30, 2012Chefs choice with linguine - you cannot go wrong. Great atmosphere, great staff.
Exceptional cioppino! Cheap wine! What's not to love?
Brian StraussJuly 1, 2022Jammed. Slow service and very pricey food that isn’t great. The cioppino here is skimpy and half the bowl is filed with pasta to cut costs. Feels like the pandemic hit this place hard.
- Massi BotteroAugust 6, 2017But pasta, just forget it. Sauce tastes like garlic only.Time for critics instead of blind praising.They charge18% service w/o question.They don’t mind you, nor quality, they just wanna make dough.
- Meg MinuskinNovember 15, 2013no frills. fish ok. but damn they aren't lying when they say they have the best cioppino in the city

"Classy and delicious. Oysters are some of the finest in the city and the selection is superb. Not inexpensive though. Wait list can pile up, so grab a beverage at the bar before you step in line."
