Owner
Zingari Ristorante is an Italian restaurant nestled one block away from Union Square in the heart of San Francisco's Theatre District. Zingari means gypsy in Italian. The ambience is relaxed and its charming atmosphere will embrace you with European Elegance. Zingari will allure you with authentic Northern Italian Cuisine. The dishes are genuine and simply delicious. The attractive Marble Room offers a lovely view onto Post Street. The Florence Room is graced by an artful three-dimensional Florentine landscape mural viewed through Roman stone columns.

In Short – Located in the Donatello Hotel, this upscale eatery attracts both Union Square tourists and locals gearing up for a night at the theater. Entrees include pastas like fettuccine with prawns and gypsy peppers, and meat dishes, such as osso bucco over mushroom and zucchini risotto. The adjoining piano bar hosts live jazz acts nightly and serves a menu of bar appetizers in the afternoon and evening.
Simple and clean
by nikkigirlcacha
Very good food, the pizza with lots of olives and the variety of 1950 wines. Recommend it! My favorite was the thick crust pizza with pepperonis, tomatoes, pineapples and of course the quick melt cheese..
- Pros: Nice environment and nice food
- Cons: No bads here
Great Food, Great Customer Service
by lujayo
Zingari Ristorante is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco, not only the food is great, the customer service is excellent. You get to be treated special by the owner himself. The menu selection is awesome. The restaurant itself is located in the heart of the city, close to tourist spots and walking distance to beautiful hotels and shopping stores. It is a must to visit, when you are in the "city by the bay".
Horrible experience
by karemik2
While visiting the city we were anticipating a wonderful dining experience at Zingari's. Lo and behold it was a disaster. Times like this you wish you could refuse to pay the bill. In short, the food was marginal in flavor and taste but I ordered an expensive chicken pasta dinner and after digging around I found 3 tiny pieces of chicken. After asking the server if this was a reasonable portion (ha!) she said no but made no effort to get more chicken or take the dish back and prepare it again. After asking for more chicken it wasn't until the end of my meal that a small dish of a few more chicken pieces showed up. Incredible! SAve yourself a big disappointment and skip this place.
- Pros: nice view of the streets and easy location
- Cons: food, service and attitude
