What People Are Saying About Caffe Cozzolino

In Short – White tablecloths, candle-lit tables and walls cluttered with framed portraits and Puccini opera posters scream "That's Italian!" Buffed wooden floors, cushy chairs and a wine bar enhance the romantic ambiance. The Neapolitan- and Sicilian-influenced cuisine is reliable, though not spectacular, with dishes like spaghetti with clam sauce, baked lasagna and lime-drenched prawns. The vermicelli with tomatoes, basil and garlic is simple and delicious.

Caffe Cozzolino

What a find! We were welcomed as if we'd been coming in for years. It's so nice to find a lovely small restaurant in San Francisco, that you can recommend to friends and add to the agenda for future visits.
We had the angel hair special with pesto, tomatoes and mushrooms, the lasagna, and the veal marsala. All were delicious, next time we'll save room for desert!

I'm very disappointed with these reviews, i think it's very unfair, i've known the owners for 25 years. I don't know what these people expect , when they go to Chili's or Chevy's they wait for 45 minutes to an hour and eat garbage. This food is ten times better than Olive Garden, it is homemade, authentic italian food. The prices are fair, with soup or salad included. You can have as much bread as you'd like, unlike other restaurants that charge you for the second basket. It's a free country and everyone has their likings and can go wherever they desire, but do not say things that aren't true. Just because they might've been having a bad day . God Bless You

bad food, undercooked pizza, nutmeg flavored everything?

If you like Italian food, go somewhere else.
This place looks great from the outside... Once you are inside RUN! I have never eaten worse pasta... even at Sbarro. Actually Sbarro would rate really well in comparison, and that is like comparing Chevy's to authentic Mexican food. They used to offer a decent pizza, for take out only, but even that has become something I would not recommend to anyone.
This place does have a certain "something" to it... like "cheesy romantic", but when you are served the dinner salad that was probably plated two days ago, and dressed at 10am, you will over look any ambiance factors.
Oh, and the last time I checked... alfredo didn't have cottage cheese as an ingredient.
I really wish that this place would find a new chef, or management... it could be so perfect.
- Pros: cheap, great locaton, easy to get into
- Cons: bad food, bad food, bad food.
