Firenze By Night

Pleasant Surprise

by Cynthia Lowry at Citysearch

The wait staff were very helpful in their recommendations of wine to accompany the meals we chose. The food blended a variety of flavors and textures, things I wouldn't have thought of combining for a wonderful meal. A repeat performance for sure when ever I get back to San Francisco! Am on the hunt for the wonderful wine.

• Pros: Excellent food and recommendation

authentic italian

by steller604 at Citysearch

the food was superb. Everything was bursting with flavour and the service was excellent. The only downfall was that even though we made reservations earlier in the day, we still had to wait 30 mins to get seated. Would definitely recommend this place to any outsiders looking for authentic italian.

The best Pasta and atmosphere

by callahandy at Citysearch

The last reviewer must have been at a different restaurant, this place is great. No its not a fake accent, my husband has known most of these people for many years. This is one of the best Italian restaurants in the City and we love all the waiters and Chris the bartender is a peach. Go and enjoy, you wont be sorry.

• Pros: Grtet Food
• Cons: Parking

Bad Choice

by live_2_eat at Citysearch

If you are looking for a place to enjoy a relaxing meal with family and friends, Firenze By Night is NOT it. We reserved the private back room for our extended family of about 25 people. Many of us had come from long distances to be together. Our reservations were for 6 P.M. Courses arrived and were removed so quickly there was hardly time to finish them. By 8:00 the waitstaff were literally taking glasses from our hands and half filled plates from in front of us in order to rush us out. Tables were being stripped of tableclothes and the second group was entering the room as we were quickly trying to say our good-byes. We had not been told that there was a second seating following ours. In addition, the tables were arranged in a large U-shape, making conversation with anyone not seated directly to one's right or left, impossible. The gnocchi were delicious as per their reputation, but the rest of the meal was mediocre; completely devoid of the quality and care of an "award winning" italian restaurant.

Great customer service, tasty Italian food

by green101 at Citysearch

Very good gnochi and pastas. All staff was extremely friendly and courteous. Food service was prompt though other table service (beverage refills etc) could use some improvement. Space is limited just like other places in San Francisco. Definitely one of the gems in North Beach and would recommend it for a homey authentic Italian dinner.
