Reviews
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!
They served bread, which not every place does. big plus!
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.
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.
Can’t rave enough about this place!!
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.
