Best Cozy Restaurants in Tenderloin

Zingari was one of the best dining experiences my family and I had lately. We were greeted by the owner,whom offered us a nice table in their “ Venetian room”after giving us a little tour of this beautiful restaurant which has 3 characteristically different dining parlors. Our service team was friendly and very professional.My daughter wanted to have fettuccine Alfredo with chicken which is not on their menu but they made it for her and it was one of the best she ever had! My wife and I started off with a couple of their specialty cocktails,Negroni and classical spritz. Couldn’t go wrong with my “ big ice cube” Negroni.My wife said it was one of the best aperol spritz she had in San Francisco. We ordered the beef and the octopus carpaccio appetizers.Both were exceptionally good. Our main courses,Filet mignon and Rigatoni with herbed ground mild Italian sausage were just done to perfection and simply delicious. Finished off with their “ chocolate mood” which I almost ordered another one but went with the tiramisu instead.Both desserts were superb. We will definitely come back and recommend visiting Zingari.

great location, good food, great staff. I'll be back

Amazing experience from the moment I walked in to the moment we left. Food was perfectly prepared as well as the cocktails, and appetizers. Our server was super informative and very knowledgeable about how they prepare the food and menu items. The Manager was very friendly and very accommodating.

The food and service were amazing. Unfortunately, the place is tiny so it is difficult to have a private romantic dinner. If you want a good meal in the city by union square, this place is a fine choice.

We ordered drinks, which came promptly and were good. Both of us had jambalaya. It was quite tasty. The show started somewhat late, so we had time for another round of drinks. Once the show started, and during and after the show, service was less available. It took us a bit of time to get our check, but we were able to chat with the performers, so it was fun. The parking discount at the Mason-Ellis garage worked out well. We highly recommend Biscuits and Blues for dinner and a show! We'll definitely be back.
