The people at Cesario’s are too modest to claim “the best carbonara pasta in town”. I think…I know there’s no better Italian restaurant in San Francisco.

We tried the soup of the day, which was a creamy mushroom soup, and it was absolutely delicious. For the main course, we had the Penne Basilico, which was also very good, especially with the cheese and pepper they served on the side.

We finished with the crème brûlée for dessert. It was decent, but the caramelized top wasn’t as crisp and crackly as it usually should be.

Our server was incredibly polite and gentlemanly, and his recommendations were spot-on. He made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the meal.

Overall, it was a great experience!

The lasagna was amazing! I just wish the veggies were a bit more cooked or grilled, but the sauce was super tasty.

They served bread, which not every place does. big plus!

Extremely disappointed. We arrived with a confirmed reservation made through OpenTable, only to be completely denied service at the door. It is unacceptable for a restaurant to list availability on a booking platform and then refuse to honor it upon arrival. This lack of organization and disregard for customers’ time ruined our evening plans. If you are looking for a reliable place that respects your reservation, I strongly suggest going elsewhere. We will not be coming back.

I had high expectations walking into Cesario. After passing by two nights in a row and seeing the place packed, I decided to finally stop in for dinner.

At 5:30 the restaurant was already full. The host told me to wait about 10 minutes, and since it’s such a tiny spot, I sat in the hotel lobby next door until a table opened.

The meal, unfortunately, was a letdown from the start. The garlic bread was just toasted baguette slices with packets of diner butter , not what I’d call garlic bread.

For my entrée, I ordered the special: New York sirloin with fettuccine in tomato parm sauce. What I got was something completely different chopped steak pieces cooked far beyond well-done, tough and chewy, served in a heavy Alfredo cream sauce. It was inedible.

The only redeeming moment was dessert. The lemon cake, while simple, at least spared me from leaving hungry since I barely touched the main course.

Overall, it was a terribly sad experience. I assumed the food must be great given how busy they always looked, but for me, the reality was the opposite.

Cesario’s is a decent neighborhood Italian spot, but overall the experience was just okay. The restaurant itself is very small, and unfortunately we weren’t seated where we requested, which set the tone early. Throughout the meal, it also felt rushed, rather than relaxed and welcoming.

As for the food, it was fine but nothing particularly memorable or standout for Italian cuisine, especially considering the reputation. Not bad by any means—just not something that would bring us back specifically for the food.

With a little more attention to guest comfort and pacing, it could be a better experience.

This old-style restaurant is everything a classic restaurant should be. Professionals tend to the guests; the food is simple, hearty and delicious; soft music plays in the background; and for a second you imagine you are in San Francisco of the 1950s. A great meal.

We had a great experience there. The bread came warm and it was delicious. The main dishes were amazing as well. The staff is polite and the place is clean and cool. I want to go back there whenever I’m around.

Wonderful service, wonderful food. The Eggplant Parmesan was amazing . Had the house Pinot Noir, and that was delicious as well. Reasonably priced, great decor; delicious appetizers as well.
Can’t rave enough about this place!!

Personally, I really like this place because they have a great vegetarian menu. The staff service and their suggestions were excellent—one of the staff members actually recommended my entire dinner and dessert, and it turned out to be an amazing experience. A must-visit spot, and I’ll definitely be one of their regular customers from now on. Special thanks to her!!!

My husband and I dined here tonight before a show, and oh boy, it was not a good experience. We arrived at 6:05. and did not receive our meals until 7:20. The kitchen released the food only after we pressed our server and explained that our show began at 7:30. Every table around us faced the same delay. A couple beside us, who had arrived at 5:40, were served ten minutes after we were and ended up late to their own show.

The floor manager offered no apology and made no effort to remedy the inconvenience. Instead, he suggested that the delay was our fault because “everyone arrived at the same time”—in other words, at the dinner hour.

The food was awful. The bread and butter were both cold. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana, which was laden with full slices of tomato and so much ricotta that I became nauseous after eating while hiking up Nob Hill to The Masonic.

The only positive thing that I can say about the experience is that the restaurant had a nice, cozy atmosphere.
