The owner is a character and runs this establishment with military precision. The fish was superb. Definitely worth a visit

Read about this on TA and it was also recommended by our walking tour guide earlier in the day. We went without a reservation and were warmly greeted and given a glass of wine to sip on while we waited for a spot along the bar to open up. We stepped outside to wait at table and were called and... More

Again, we read about this through Tripadvisor. We don't like to go where the "tourists" go, and glad we found this place... We made a reservation and ate here just last night. Nothing fancy but you will be happy and satisfied with your food and the price. Even my husband's cousin & his girlfriend who live in SF were very... More

I had the halibut special, it was served with a very simple caper sauce, with steamed vegetables. It was excellent. The place used to be a cafe and still has the stool seating in addition to a few tables. Its crowded and a little noisy. But its a fun atmosphere! I will stop by here every time I am in... More

This little place had the most fun atmosphere! We were greeted by the owner and informed there was a short wait, so she offered a complimentary glass of wine. The wait wasnt more than a few minutes and was well worth it! We sat at the bar, and got to see how all the action goes down. All the staff... More

Cramped, joyous, noisy, and fun! Not the place to propose marriage, but wonderful, upbeat atmosphere, and GREAT food. I had the ciopino with a friend. Others had scallops, and Crab Louis. Not real Louis dressing. If the other food had not been so great, I would have docked them a couple of points. Can't wait to go back. Buon apetito!

We went here about 2 weeks ago, a Tuesday night around 7:30pm and still only managed to score a seat at the bar. We ordered the Linguini with seafood and Grilled Sand Dabs (fish, recommended by the waitress). Both meals were cooked to perfection with delicious flavours. You can see the chefs cook everything, and all the staff were super... More

This is a great seafood restaurant in north beach. If like us you prefer somewhere less touristy where you know you get better value and its away from the gimmicks then this place is great. Quite hard to find and only small but the food was brilliant. We shared the seafood in tomato pasta which I recommend.

We took the plunge on this place based on TripAdvisor rating, and once again were not disappointed. The restaurant was as advertised a bit of a hole in the wall, and it comes across that way as you walk in, with all kinds of crazy "Buca di Beppo" done Ocean style eclectic over crowded wall thing. We were given a... More
