We made a reservation for dinner here after its renovation. I’m not sure how I’m the only one of the group who had never been. It’s a classic Italian restaurant in the neighborhood. We sat upstairs. We started with the calamari which was lightly dusted so you can really taste the squid. The shrimp appetizer sat on a nice bed of arugula which we also devoured. For our main, we each ordered various pasta dishes including the cannelloni and rigatoni. We capped off the night with dessert wines. What a lovely place!

We live next door to the original owners! Their sons have taken over and have been elevating the food and experience over the last 10 years. We were excited to try the restaurant after they’d been closed for nearly 2 years to do an extensive remodel. 4 of us went for a friend’s birthday. The new interior is stunning! Amazing chandeliers. The back bar has mementos ranges across the shelves, and they’ve kept a tasteful nod to the original “gold mirror” decor. There is an upstairs dining section as well, and friends who’ve eaten up there tell us it’s quieter than downstairs. We had a booth/table right next to the hostess stand, which turned out to be a great spot. Joseph our waiter was personable and made us feel immediately like we’d be well taken care of. The new menu is smaller than before the remodel, which is usually a good thing for quality. The list of specials was also very good. Everyone at the table lived their meal. The only disappointment was that there was absolutely nothing on the menu that was vegan-feiendly. Something that should be easy in an Italian restaurant. It’s a minor complaint, but there are a growing number of diners who are looking for vegan options when they go out. Something to consider. The Caesar salad was delicious, we split 2 of them between the 4 of us. I had a veal special with prosciutto and the bread (which is better than ever) got put to good use mopping up the delicious sauce. The cannoli I shared for dessert was also delicious. Pistachio cream, and light flaky shells that were clearly freshly-made. You can spend a lot of you go for the pricier entrees, but you could also order a glass of wine and a pasta dish and spend less. We had a great time and a great meal, and are looking forward to going back to try some of the other menu items. It still feels like the neighborhood place we’ve been going to for 22 years, but is definitely now an upscale experience. Hope they’ll be around for 50 more years!

A bit disappointed with the food after all the hype surrounding the renovations. It was our first time and we’ve heard great things from friends but recently the overall experience was not that great. We ordered 4 different pastas and 2 of them were decent (lasagna and ravioli) but the carbonara was extremely salty. Trust me, I generally like salt but this was overkill.
I enjoyed my cocktail but my dining partner didn’t care for hers. She inquired whether it would be sweet leaning and the server said it wasn’t too sweet but, in fact, it was. For the quality and price, there are much better Italian restaurants in SF.

Such an institution and so happy to have dined here for the first time! All of the good people in The Gold Mirror treated us like family, it is such a warm familiar dining experience and the excellent food was just another upside. Have learned too that I should order a calamari appetizer just for me, not to be shared and anyone in the table who wants it should also get one for themselves! The calamari is just the best: by itself as a starter, as a dip for the warm bread and to complement the delicious primi and secondi. To me, it belongs to all the menu progressions: as antipasti, primi and secondi and possibly also a to-go! Love love this place and the staff that run this go-to SF icon of a restaurant.

The only reason why I’m rating the restaurant so low is because the service was terrible. I don’t know if someone didn’t show up to work tonight, but our area of the restaurant was abandoned. We watched other servers in other parts of the restaurant busily serving others but none of them stopped at our table for 20 minutes and that’s only because we asked TWICE. At some point someone must have been assigned to serve us and he was nice enough. It’s such a shame that this negligent service was our first impression of this restaurant because once we finally ordered (now well after 25 mins after seated), the food came out quickly and it really was all delicious. The calamari and grilled artichokes were excellent starters. The Caesar salad was nicely dressed and served with white anchovies which were nice and fresh and not salty. The main courses of Chilean sea bass, eggplant parm, and lasagna, were all delicious. Because the food was so good I’m willing to give this place another try. Hopefully tonight’s poor service was just a fluke.

Food is delicious. We got the short rib ravioli, and New York steak and calamari. Our bartender Walde made us very delicious drinks and was very helpful with suggestions from the menu for both food and drinks.
Really liking the remodel which kept some of the old vibes but a little more modern. Parking isn’t the worst but we were able to find parking close by on a Friday night.

Excellent food. We had an amazing beet salad, and meatballs as appetizers. My chicken sauté was excellent along with my wife’s lasagna was the best she has ever had. Deserts were home made and extremely good. Pretty amazing place. Plus, the waitress Joselyn was perfect in how she was attentive to our needs and able to connect with us during our conversations. Give her a raise!
Another time for Mother’s Day, 2023-05-14, stairway walk in St Francis Wood and then to eat at the Gold Mirror. Another amazing experience. Thanks to our waiter, John. Good job for a special day.

Last Friday evening we had the pleasure of dining there -for the first time in a long while. Service was outstanding on all levels and the food was great too! the only “but” in my review was there was nothing Vegan printed on the menu. My cousin was VERY disappointed and felt very ostracized. I know it’s Old School Italian, but this is 2025- almost 26 and it is SF. What they did make for her was lovely but some awareness would be nice, and make her change her mind about going there int eh future.
