    The restaurant was easy to get to and had ample weekday parking across the street which was a bonus because I drove down from Sacramento for an important dinner with a mentor. The art deco design of the interior was gorgeous and the hostess was stylish softspoken and also gorgeous in that NorCal way - subtle but ethereal. The food was also delicate and fine and delicious. The house wine was tasty and I would love to come back again for any similar important meetings. Thank you for a great luxurious experience, La Connessa!

    The ambience and service was wonderful. The food was good as well. The portions are small, particularly the fish dish. The wine pours do seem significantly smaller than a standard glass of wine. Overall, It is a nice restaurant.
    La ConnessaResponded on March 31, 2025
    Hello Tina, Thank you for your 4-Star review! Thank you for the feedback about the wine BTG portion size. We pour 5 oz glasses, which is larger than most restaurants 4.5 oz pour. I will share the feedback with our culinary team about the portion size of our fish (Rock Cod) presentation. We hope to see you again soon and supersede your value expectations. Warmest regards, Andrew Fuentes General Manager

    My husband is lactose intolerant so options were limited, however he throughly enjoyed the tuna carpaccio and spaghetti chittara de mare. I opted for the arugula salad and the special of the evening: the morel risotto. All food was delicious. Three of the four dishes were suggested by the server, Nevardo and he didn’t miss. He also offered a suggestion for my wine selection which paired perfectly and matched my description. It also wasn’t the more expensive wine glass!! ! The ambiance was lovely-bistro vibes, great lighting, good acoustics for conversation. Price was a little more than expected but not by much—and it’s San Francisco.

    Hello Laurie, Thank you for the wonderful 5 star review. Nev is one of our new team members and he is really doing a great job already! All of your comments about the cuisine, ambiance and service are so very appreciated!! Warmest regards, Andrew Fuentes General Manager

    We came here to celebrate our 10th anniversary and absolutely loved it! I found it on instagram and was intrigued by the ambiance and foody pics. The real life experience exceeded the pictures! Service, food, and ambiance were all fantastic. And plenty of parking in the area! Portions are a little small but I recommend getting a few things to share! Would absolutely return!

    We have been to this place at least 2 times before with our toddler, and we have always had a wonderful time. On this 3rd occasion, we brought my mother-in-law and she also thoroughly enjoyed herself. Each time we dine here, the food, cocktails (and zero-proof drinks), and the friendly service knock our socks off. This has definitely become one of our staple favorite restaurants in San Francisco.
