Romantic jewel box of an Italian restaurant with premier garden patio.

by Joanna Currier

In Short
This quiet hideaway is a Presidio Heights favorite for special occasions and intimate California-Italian dining. Wood floors, high windows and mirrors, wrought-iron chandeliers and subtle Mediterranean colors grace the enchanting dining room; in back, a flower-strewn veranda allows for romantic brunch, lunch or dinner encounters. The menu includes traditional, seasonal Italian specialties prepared with fresh local ingredients, and an above-average wine list.

What A Find!

by chrise1975

This place is great! We were welcomed in by the owner of the place and promtly seated. The lunch menu a great variety of selections, the food was great (large portions and very homestyle!). Best of all we got to listen to the owner crack jokes, and it seemed like he knew everyone who walked through the door. I will definately visit again, and this time opt fot the patio tables!

• Pros: Service, Good Meal, Cute Place
• Cons: Parking

by margieco

stumbled into this place when we were in the neighborhood and decided to go because it was empty.

What a pleasant surprise! Very welcoming service, very good homemade pasta, great soup and salad. Yum.

groups? of course they can handle that!!

by mevs0210

The food is very good, the atmosphere is cozy and the prices are fair... Probably it needs a little bit of make-up (when was the last maintenance job?)... but definetively, they did very good job with my 25 people brunch!!

clean well lighted place

by keyechow

quaint somewhat hidden neighborhood restaurant in presidio heights offering a lmited but good selection of american/italian fare...

food is good, but not fancy; feels like a home-cooked meal; portions are very good...

family owned restaurant and really feels like it in the best way; our hostess, an older lady, was delightfully hospitable and made us feel like we're coming to her house for dinner...

highly recommended as a "regular" haunt for locals, but not an event restaurant

• Pros: ambiance, service, price/value
• Cons: food pretty basic
