The Scene – With Umbria posters decking the walls, tables pushed together for communal dining, and one friendly waiter orchestrating the whole show, this mom-and-pop eatery is a casual dining experience. Relaxed locals are a permanent fixture, yet procuring a table is never too time consuming. The decor is pure trattoria, with cans of tomatoes lining the walls and well-lit countertops displaying bottles of truffle oil. – – The Food – Diners will find a familiar menu of antipasti, pizza and pasta. For a simple, satisfying meal, cracker-thin pizzas, such as the…
Editor's Tips
- Where to Sit:
- For a more private meal, pass up the communal-style table and wait for one of the four small tables along the windows.
- When to Go:
- Open until midnight on weekends, this is a great place to grab a bite after cavorting at Mission District bars.
- What to Drink:
- Inexpensive Italian and California wines by the glass, along with a variety of carafes, make pairing your pasta with some Chianti a penny-pinching endeavor.

Delicious and relaxing experience
by withonen at Citysearch
I was just there with a group of 5 friends. We had made a reservation for a Wedneday night, but there was plenty of space. We were asked where we wanted to sit and ended up with an entire room to ourselves. The food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the porcini ravioli and the mushroom appetizer. The service was very friendly and the ambience was great for a dinner with friends or a romantic meal. Definitely worth a try as I will be going back!

worth the wait!
by jeffanderyn at Citysearch
i almost hate to tell people about this place, since it's one of my favorite restaurants in sf! vogalonga has a cute, romantic space and great food. the lasagna, spaghetti with meatballs and shrimp in lemon cream are standouts as is the fantastic tiramisu. the downside is there's only one chef, meaning everything's made to order, but there's a l-o-n-g wait between courses, so take someone you like!
- Pros: delicious food, charming atmosphere, standout tiramisu
- Cons: slow service

Best Homemade Gnocchi in the City
by nikkiluvssf at Citysearch
Last night, I ordered the homemade, fresh gnocchi in gorgonzola sauce ($10.95) It was BY FAR, the freshest, softest, and creamist gnochhi I've ever had in SF and the sauce was wonderful. The beef carpaccio appetizer is good but the greens they put on it are too bitter and upstage the quality of the beef. The steamed clams appetizer (special) was good. The bread seemed stale, but the house wine, at $18/bottle was a great value. (A Sonoma wine). Ambiance is quite romantic, dimly lit, tiny restaurant, candles on every table, Italian music. In a funky area, nice to visit for a change if you live in another part of SF. Great bars nearby. Great way to start a "date" evening
- Pros: Fresh pasta, romantic, ambiance
- Cons: service average, parking can be tough

Good Waiter - Bad Waiter
by martinibuster at Citysearch
I'd been going to this place for awhile. However, the last time I went they had a snotty waiter that didn't let me sniff the wine I was buying, poured pepper on my food w/out first asking, and the salmon pasta in paper came without salmon. Don't know if he's still there as I have never returned.
- Pros: One great waiter
- Cons: One awful waiter
