Was so disappointed with our Mother's Day brunch. Making the reservation and even changing it a day ahead was easy. We were the 2nd table seated at 11:30 AM. The waitperson was friendly and from Italy she said. It all started well with drinks and appetizer, then we waited and waited and waited for o...

My favorite Italian Restaurant in the city! The skirt steak with potatoes and spinach, and the creamless carbonara are highlights, but I have not had a single dish I have not liked on the menu...and I have had them all.

This restaurant has a cozy, warm, dark feel. The food is very good two excellent and they have some unusual dishes as well such as alligator carpaccio which I did not dare to try. They've just opened a bar next door where you can order mostly the same food as the main restaurant. I think that'll hel...

My waiter forgot about me, I was waiting at their new wine testing bar next door! What ever happened to the baguette!? Awful bread they serve. Food was ok. We need a real Italian restaurant in the hood! Sorry, very disappointing experience.

For dessert, we tried the lemon ginger panna cotta- good (not too lemony or gingery as I was thinking) and the affogato. Overall everything from service to food to ambiance was great. Will definitely come back to try the spaghetti (best spaghetti west of the Mississippi?? We'll see!)

Lovely romantic place. Pretty good Italian food, but the lasagna and salmon pasta didn't blown our minds. The service was great though and they brought complimentary bruchetta and strawberry pana cotta (probably because they were closing)

This restaurant feels like it was plucked straight from Italy. The food is excellent, and the owners & staff are genuinely happy to have you. Small menu, all done perfectly, and a simple but able wine list. A great place for a special occasion or a weeknight out. Their wine bar next door shares the ...

I am obsessed with Bella, some of the best pasta in the city FOR SURE. And by FAR the best gnocchi (verdi is my gnocchi here of choice). Super fairly priced, the owner is always here and seating people and chatting- occasionally bringing a free apertif or bruschetta. Came here during the playoffs an...

The service was amazing. The Manager was timely, and friendly. We were seated quickly, asked what we wanted to drink. The food was delicious and the portion was good and it was a fair price. I will be coming back. It's cute and the food is delicious. Thank you!

Had dinner here with 2 friends on Monday night at 6pm. We didn't have reservations but were seated right away. Restaurant seats about 20 and was half full when we arrived. Ambiance is intimate and classy, subtly romantic.

The free bread was very soft and I liked the sundried tomato sauce - a refr...

The best overlooked Italian *lunch* and dinner in San Francisco.

This teeny trattoria, on Geary at 3rd Ave., is a bit forbidding, what with shiny white linen tablecloths and no menu posted in the window. But it's an amazing lunch find! Great food, great ambiance, awesome staff, and great food (yo...

What a great place to go for great food, comfortable atmosphere, and pleasant service. The prices are reasonable, servings are adequate, and the service was top notch. Good place to take your family or that special someone. We've found our new favorite place to eat Italian in San Francisco. Can't wa...

My partner and I went here on an Italian crave. A little backstory: We were in bummy Saturday clothes when we walked in. Still, we were a little put off when the waitress told us there weren t any available seats for us. From the looks of it, there were seats behind her, so I began to take offense, ...

Never tried squid ink pasta before, so i thought it'd be good to try something new. it was ok but i don't think ...

Walk in 5 minutes before it was opened. Greeted and was seated right away. Server was gracious and professional. We have a party of four and we all ordered different entrees. All tastes amazing. This is our third times Bella in six months. Always love it.

Bella Trattoria just became my new neighborhood Italian restaurant! It's very convenient to get to and street parking is a cinch. The restaurant itself is super laid back and cozy. You can come here on a date, or meet up with a friend.

For gluten free they used a quinoa based pasta when I went. It was...

Came here for dinner tonight while on our honeymoon in San Fran. One of our Uber drivers recommended this place and we couldn't be happier! It's a small restaurant with limited seating, so I'm glad we made a reservation. We've never been to Italy before so we can't compare it to authentic Italian, b...

Although I haven't tried everything on their menu, I can guarantee that I can close my eyes and...

Unless your are fluent in Italian you will have some trouble interpreting some of the items on the menu. However the staff seems to be aware of this and is very helpful. Portions are not overly large but the food is rich and so probably are about right. We all this each other's dishes and each an...

I was REALLY impressed by this place.

Being in the Richmond, an area of town normally inundated with pizza, sushi, and asian food of all varieties, I wasn't really expecting much from an Italian place with a pretty nondescript exterior. I was wrong.

Their menu is full of fresh, authentic reci...
