We made a same-day reservation and came in for a birthday dinner. The ambience was elegant but not stuffy, and the service was both friendly and professional. As many other reviews have pointed out, their roasted bell pepper (very cheesy, with a creamy tomato sauce) is excellent. The gnocchi was perfectly cooked and very filling, with either the same or a similar sauce to the bell pepper (no complaints here!). The tiramisu was exceptionally light and balanced in flavor. We will definitely come here again, soon!

Enjoyed our experience here. We came late at night (near closing time) and service was still excellent. We had the bruschetta (great), gnocchi (our tables favorite), carbonara (could’ve been better) a clam pasta (lacked some flavor but the clams themselves were good), and the tiramisu (great). Entrees were low $30s each. Overall, recommend this spot.

Classic spot. Everything is good. Staff is super knowledgeable and attentive. Got a yummy porcini meatball dish that was off menu. Ask for it!! We ordered 2. Side of mushrooms was a nice pairing with it. Anchovies for the salad were such a treat!

So… my daughter, who’s a Berkeley Senior, picked out this place for Friday night dinner,as we drove up LA to visit her. The neighborhood was loaded with so many great options. And we found a nice nearby street parking and were very impressed by all the surrounding cool vibe restaurants. Trattoria was very nicely done. Cool cozy vibe for sure. Our waiter, was great and highly informative. Really helped us figure out what to order. The food was delicious and more than enough to go around. The Caesar Salad was excellent and enough for three of us. we ordered three different pasta dishes and they were all delicious and well-portioned. The wine selection and drink selection were also great. Highly recommend this iconic jewel!

Excellent service and atmosphere. I had the classic spaghetti and meatballs and was a bit underwhelmed. Sauce was delicious though I would note very buttery. The meatballs themselves were very dry. Part of the reason why my group came here was because we were told the servings were gigantic - I would say they were at best average size leaning towards small. Would have gotten appetizers if I had known what I was to get. Probably will come back and try it again though.

This spot offers delicious pasta and decent service. The classic Italian dishes, particularly the pasta, are a definite highlight.However, I would strongly advise you to skip the cocktails. I tried three different cocktails, and all were disappointingly similar in taste. Stick to the wines. Given its popularity, reservations are highly recommended to secure a table.

I had a great experience at this cozy Italian restaurant. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a charmingly rustic feel, complete with a well-stocked bar and string lights that give it a homey, comfortable vibe. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and our waiter was helpful with the menu. The real standout of the meal, and something you can tell from the photos, is the sheer size of the portions. They don't mess around! I ordered a pasta dish topped with a generous amount of fresh basil and what looked like burrata or a similar creamy cheese. My friend's spaghetti with a huge, impressive-looking meatball was also massive, and the clams in white wine sauce were abundant and delicious. You definitely get your money's worth here, and you'll likely have leftovers. For dessert, we had a simple but delicious bowl of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup. It was the perfect way to cap off a very filling meal. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

The restaurant is very nice. Looks like they have concern their local charm. Italian food is delicious. Basically everything is very typical Italian cuisine. All the pastas are delicious and very delicious cheese dishes. I want to try many dishes and everything was delicious. There were some room for improvement when it came to the gnocchis. I know this is a very complicated dish and it takes a lot of time in my case they were a little bit undercooked, but the flavors were there and I have to say it was delicious. If they would’ve left it a a bit longer, that dish would’ve been perfection. Recommend you share this dish with the green wine the offer wine from Napa, California, Italy enjoying your dish with a great wine offer You know the place is very cozy. Delicious. We had a great time here I went with my friends and the food was very good. Even the very typically Italian you will have a great time and I’m pretty sure you will enjoy the food.

The first time I came here I had an amazing pasta and great service. Came back with a friend for a second time and had a lack-luster experience. The pastas were fine, but nothing close to what it was before. My mom does a better pasta. Their tiramisu was good and the bartender was extremely nice and accommodating to our drink requests. Big props to him! I wish the waiter could learn a thing or two from him.

We both lived in SF 30 years ago and came SF to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary. We use to go 3 to 4 times a month and the food and service was always outstanding, and I always ordered Pavarotti or #7 as it use to be referred as! However, this time was very disappointed and I am sure Pablo didn’t make it and one of the sous chefs cooked it for me. Unlike 30 years ago, the prosciutto and sun-dried tomatoes were barely visible this time, and there was very little flavor. Such a disappointment with such high expectations! 🙁 Then they brought us an order of tiramisu as a gift to celebrate our 30 anniversary, very nice gesture, however, when I received the bill they charged me for the dessert! Are you kidding me! Well, no need to come back again! I have great memories of great food, with great friends, unfortunately not this time! Thanks for the memories!

Quality was disappointing. The Caesar salad was drenched in cheap dressing and pre-shredded cheese. The Italian soda was just sparkling water with cheap syrup dumped into it. The pork was overcooked, the pasta was very salty. On top of that the servers were in a rush to turn over our table. I came back from the bathroom with my leftover food in a box already. Bad experience.
