    We waited almost an hour after seating to be served our food. Ultimately we got our meals in take out containers without having a bite to eat of them in order to make our theater start time. While I am sympathetic to being woefully understaffed for a surprisingly busy Wednesday night, I will likely never go back. On the bright side, we did get served an appetizer of beets that was delicious- too bad we never got to taste the entrees.

    A mano is always great. My favorite restaurant to go to before a concert, or SF Jazz.

    Well prepared food from a limited standard American Italian menu. There’s nothing wrong here but there is nothing special either. The tables for seating are tiny so that everyone is packed together, which makes for a noisy and uncomfortable ambience. The service was friendly and fast. There are probably a dozen places in the neighborhood with decent similar quality food and where you can actually hold a conversation with your table partners.

    We had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food is really good, although the portion is a bit small. However, it enabled us to share different kinds of food. We ordered the roast chicken, big eye tuna, fungi pizza and clam spaghetti. They’re excellent ! We will come again

    All of our favorites! Especially the light thin crunch on the funghi pizza- happy you enjoyed and we hope you dine with us soon.

    We had excellent service from Gary. The pasta was mediocre at best. Really a comedown from last visits. Tables were way too close. crowded noisy unpleasant atmosphere. No longer an option for us. I’m cancelling my res later this month with two friends.

    I was running late, but I called 4 times, and each time, the automatic answering did not connect me to a line where I could tell them that we were coming, but late for our reservation because of traffic. But the staff was great and they fit us in so we made our concert on time. The food was great, the service was great, but the place was noisy and hopping. Our only complaint was not being able to contact someone by phone.

    Hi Warren! Thank you for this feedback and we are so happy everything worked out! We get a little busy and not always able to answer, but you can always message us on opentable!! We hope to see you soon!

    Excellent food in great location. Serving staff could use a little more training regarding managing utensils between courses. All staff courteous--nice people! Wish it wasn't quite so noisy, and seating rather close together, not helping with the noisy issue. Will definitely return for totally excellent food!
