After our trip to Alcatraz and an afternoon of shopping at the Wharf, we worked up quite an appetite and decided to try Piccolo Forno. The restaurant is small and cozy, and as many have mentioned, there was a bit of a wait since we arrived later in the evening, but we didn’t mind at all. The incredible aromas coming from the kitchen made it worth it.
Our table ordered a great variety of dishes including pizza col salame, lasagna classica, ravioli di zucca, pappardelle al ragù, and ravioli di aragosta. For dessert, my friend enjoyed the cannolo siciliano. Overall, the food was delicious, comforting, and clearly made with care.
Service was friendly overall. There was a small hiccup when I was initially served the wrong dish. When I mentioned it, there was some confusion as I was told it was what I had ordered. However, my group did hear my order, and as a vegetarian, the dish I received wasn’t something I could eat. That said, this didn’t negatively affect our experience. The rest of the staff were very accommodating, and the owner handled the situation
wonderfully, which we truly appreciated.
I don’t enjoy confrontation and never want to make an issue, but I felt the way the situation was resolved spoke volumes about their professionalism and care for guests. We left full, happy, and satisfied and would absolutely return.

My husband and I went there for dinner last night. They don’t take reservations you just put your name down and wait on the line but we highly recommend it. The line moved surprisingly fast, and we were seated sooner than expected.
We ordered a pizza and the fungi ravioli, and both were absolutely delicious. You can truly taste the quality and authenticity. The restaurant is 100% run by Italians, so you know you’re getting real Italian food, not a watered-down version for tourists.
Delicious, authentic, and definitely not a tourist trap. We would absolutely go back.

A cosy restaurant serving genuinely delicious Italian fare. The meal began with complimentary bread and olive oil. The burrata arrived like a cloud – creamy, soft, and beautifully balanced with briny olives and sweet cherry tomatoes. The lobster stuffing of ravioli di aragosta was perfectly minced, and luxurious. The spaghetti alla carbonara was silky, and lifted by generous chunks of guanciale. We ended with an affogato that delivered the perfect finale – bold, sweet and beautifully comforting. The pastas did take a while to reach our table, but knowing everything was freshly prepared made the wait feel entirely worth it. The staff were warm, cheerful, and genuinely welcoming throughout our meal. This is one spot I’ll happily return to, no hesitation.

I was lucky to grab an outside table before the lunch rush fully hit. The restaurant quickly got busy but felt I still received good service. Food was delicious and staff was responsive. Would definitely stop by again when I’m in SF.

This restaurant instantly became one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is just like you’re somewhere in Italy. These guys serve you with the real Italian passion and the last but not least you MUST try their Tiramisu, it’s from a different planet!

This spot is a PNW must-try . Pasta was spot-on fresh, huge portions for the fam (kids devoured the pizza!). Super friendly service, killer espresso. Pro tip: Reserve ahead, easy walk from Embarcadero. Love supporting local gems like this!

This place was such a delight. The service was amazing and everyone was so friendly and made us feel right at home. The Cesar salad was divine. We also got the mushroom and sausage pizza and it was soooo good! Highly recommend stopping by!

A 5-star experience. We chose the place because of the menu options offered a nice array of options from traditional fare to adventurous flavors, and some easy going options for our younger family.
A fantastic dining experience. Getting seated we were welcomed in. Then the fun started as we began selecting our food. Some great recommendations were provided. The food arrived with good timing, allowing us to enjoy some bread and appetizers and then during the meal there wasn’t a moment we felt forgotten. The ravioli al funghi was equally delicious as meals we’ve had in Urbino, Italy.
The exceptional hospitality and service was truly what made this memorable. We would certainly have marked this for a return visit, with the friendly staff and Donato’s humor we felt like we were visiting relatives not at a restaurant. We left with our kids sharing that this was a highlight of the trip, our appetites were satisfied and our hearts full. Grazie mille.
