   Food and service was excellent, just a little disappointed with the small portion on my rigatoni meal, for $31.00 (which is high for a pasta dish) and get 2 wonderful meatballs but only 4 small slices of Italian sausage (which was more like a tease) over maybe 12 rigatoni seemed overpriced and not enough. I see way they offer MORE rigatoni for another $7.00! That seemed sad for the excellent experience otherwise!

   Made reservations to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday. So appreciated that they hung a birthday sign and had a birthday card for her when we arrived. Our server, Francesca, was great. We wanted to try so many things and we were having such a hard time deciding. Francesca provided recommendations after listening to us, and we were so glad we went with her recommendations. Started with the Gnocchi Carbona - gnocchi were light and pillowy soft and that sauce was everything. Next were the Chicken Cotoletta and the Pork Bistecca - both so good and so flavorful. For dessert, we had to go with the Chocolate Tiramisu - not too sweet and a perfect ending to a great meal. We were quite full and satisfied. Service was attentive. We can't wait to return.

   Tried Ofena during the SF Restaurant week and I'm glad we did. The vegetarian lasagna was delicious with swiss chard and caramelized onion and the appetizer of roasted persimmons with pesto, maitake mushrooms, pecan and pepato cheese was a creative dish. My husband had the gnocci cabonara with duck which was very rich but a great change as well. It reminds me of a neighborhood gem but a little pricey. Definitely will return.

   My friend and I went for Sunday brunch and it was lovely. We both got the Guiseppe's breakfast with two eggs, Italian sausage, foccacio bread, and fingerling rosemary potatoes. Plenty of food that was yummy and satisfying. Our serve was so gracious and nice. The entire experience was fine.

   From the moment we entered, we were treated with warm greetings. Our table was by the window and nice and allowed for a quiet conversation. The service was friendly and polite. The entire staff smiled and were always helpful. And the food was fantastic. Freshness, presentation and taste was off the charts. We will go again.

   Two dining experiences in less than a week. That must mean something. Food is wonderful. Service attentive, friendly and professional. Great brunch options; both egg dishes and sandwiches. Dinner was terrific. A light, airy foccacia with various toppings to start. One of the best Caesar salads in The City, and a perfectly grilled steak “tagliata” with delicious gigante beans on the side. A very good, though somewhat pricey wine list and creative cocktails. Don’t miss the current pumpkin cannoli. Oh my. We’re looking forward to our next visit already. We’ve got to try some of those incredible pastas! Thank you Ofena!

   The staff at Ofena is just incredible. All The little touches (bday card & banners), the flexibility and outstanding quality makes this place such an exciting addition to The neighborhood!

    I would recommend this place to friends and family who want to sit down and share a meal that will make you feel satisfied. The flavors and presentation were really great. The service team was coordinated and attentive. We informed our server that it was our fist time and they gave us the run down of size and portions as well as some recommendations. Also, she shared how to make it family style to enjoy more of the variety. We'll be back. Welcoming and warm, great food and authentic drinks.
