We would definitely come back. Good food, massive portions, very fair prices. Make a reservation.
The pasta dishes seem to be more regional than just Napolentean/Roman what I normally see in American Italian restaurants. The noodles were good even the next day. Get what you like, they were all done well.
Hard to tell but very huge basket of calamari. Best for 5 or more people to share! I also liked their free bread and mushroom main, though we got it as an appetizer.
Service wasn’t slow for us like some reviews mention. Quaint ambiance with some live piano.

We had an incredible dining experience at Fior d’Italia, America’s oldest Italian restaurant, and it truly lives up to its legacy.
If you’re searching for authentic Italian cuisine, fresh pasta, and a memorable dining atmosphere, this is the place to go!
We started with the Bruschetta, which was outstanding—perfectly toasted bread topped with ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, and high-quality olive oil that tasted straight from Italy. For our main course, the Tagliatelle was the star of the night. The pasta was fresh, handmade, and cooked to perfection, with a rich and flavorful sauce that made every bite exceptional. We ended with an Affogato, and it was the perfect finish—creamy gelato “drowned” in bold espresso. Simple, classic, and delicious.
The ambiance is warm, charming, and full of history. A live singer took requests and performed Italian classics (including “That’s Amore”), which made the entire evening feel magical—like being transported to a trattoria in Italy.
Service was fantastic from start to finish—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings.
If you’re looking for authentic Italian food, fresh pasta, terrific service, and a unique historical dining experience, you must visit Fior d’Italia. Perfect for date night, celebrations, or anyone who loves classic Italian done right!

Overall, unprofessional and never again. Maybe it was one good but these people seemed all over the place.

Came once in awhile. Other waiters had to help.
He held the credit card.. I had to get up and walk around to the register to look for it.
The bartender had to help look for the waiter. He eventually came back to us.
He made us feel as though he took the card to make a copy somewhere so I’ll check the purchases. He then said we can’t take any bread home because he’s not allowed where on Columbus street, every restaurant gives bread to take home.

This is such a great restaurant. The atmosphere has that old school Italian vibe with white tablecloths, nicely dressed waiters, and impeccable service. The desserts we had were spot on. They have homemade pastas for a really good price as well. We were just enjoying a late night cocktail & dessert this time.

Good food, but dishonest billing practices and poor communication ruined what could have been a great experience.
We visited this restaurant for lunch after seeing an appetizer photo on Google Maps that looked amazing. When we asked the waitress which menu item it was, she told us that dish was no longer available. We asked which appetizer was similar, and she showed a few options. We chose the Burrata con Pomodori Basilico e Olio and placed our main course orders.
A few minutes later, she kindly returned and said the chef would make something like the photo we had seen. We were impressed by their willingness to accommodate us — it felt like great service.
The food was good, but when we got the bill, there were two extra appetizers added, totaling about $70. When we questioned it, the waitress insisted we had ordered three appetizers and started arguing instead of calmly clarifying. She claimed we should have known the items weren’t complimentary. After a frustrating exchange, she apologized only to close out the payment.
Later, we noticed that other reviewers have had similar experiences — the restaurant sometimes offers to make something “off-menu” without mentioning the price, then charges unexpectedly high amounts.
If you visit, make sure prices are confirmed before accepting any off-menu offers and double-check your bill.

I stopped here for dinner on a Saturday evening after discovering it was the oldest Italian restaurant in the USA. We were seated quickly and the food came super fast. The ravioli was good as was the lasagna. the lasagna was quite cheesy which I enjoyed. For dessert I had the cannoli. It had fruit in the filling which was something different from other cannolis I have had. The service here was average. I would definitely recommend giving this a try if you are in the area.

Fior d’Italia is a true San Francisco gem and one of the most historic Italian restaurants in the country. The atmosphere is warm and classic with old-school charm — perfect for a date night or special dinner. The food was excellent: fresh pasta, rich sauces, and authentic flavors that really stood out. We especially loved the seafood linguine and tiramisu.
Service was friendly and attentive, and the wine list had plenty of great pairings. Prices are fair for the quality, history, and ambience you get here.
If you’re looking for authentic Italian with a touch of San Francisco history, Fior d’Italia is a must-visit.

Delicious Osso Buco, Duck and Fute de Mare! Fantastic European style service you get your food and everyone leave you alone. The weighted is not very two minutes asking if you need anything which is nice to sit and have food and talk without being bothered.

America’s Oldest Italian Restaurant (est. 1886) did not disappoint! We enjoyed the mussels and clams, homemade gnocchi, and veal shank. Every bite was full of flavor. The atmosphere was relaxed, with a pianist taking requests, which made our meal even more special. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the restaurant, sharing details about its history and fresh pasta. Highly recommended when visiting San Francisco!
