I had heard that this was the number one Italian restaurant in the city. I have since corrected those who misinformed me. The service of the entire staff that we encountered, from hostess to floor manager, was so bad that we did not stick around for the food. I had never before experienced such a...

I have to agree with the other review on this site. The service is the worst! We, however, stayed around for the food, which was OK but terribly overpriced.

This is by far one of the best Italian restaurants in North America. Reasonably priced and a true Italian experience.

My girlfriend and I have been to Allegro Romano twice. Both times have been extraordinary experiences. Lorenzo, the host, treated us like we were long-lost friends. The food was top notch, as was the professional and friendly service. Our meal started with a free serving of Bruschetta, and ended w...
This is an awesome place to eat in Cole Valley. The food is delicious and the portions are large. Great to share a few dishes with a partner or to take the leftovers home. You can make two meals out of the portions that they give you. The service has always been very friendly. Make sure to leave roo...

We've tried several items on the menu at Buca Di Beppo,and while some are good at best,have decided on one which we find to be not only great,but a great value as well!Order the "Fruite de marre",and ask for the bread,which is served with olive oil for dipping,a large size is more than enough for 4;...

Family style the way it should be. Excellent food, great atmosphere, and good family style. The wait can be long, but it is worth it.

First introduced to this place by my brother who has a business account with them.

This is a true Italian culinary experience, the food and the waitstaff are amazing. Love of garlic is a must, the seafood is beautifully fresh and the pasta is perfectly al dente. The waiters are fantastic. Always super friendly and accomodating. I have eaten there many times and always find mys...

Delicious food and FUN FUN FUN! I was with a large group on 11/13/04 and the waiter told us what we were getting. I swear the waiter was either Robert De Niro or his twin. He seemed to be having too much fun. We asked him if he was Robert de Niro and he laughed replying, " I wish". As we left I...

Capps has very average Italian food. It seems to cater to the tourist crowd who do not know about the other great Italian restaurants in North Beach. I would not recomend eating at Capps. Try anyplace else in North beach and you will do better. The only think worth eating there is their creamy it...

Try the Eggplant Parmesan, its the best in the City. I am a long time San Francisco resident and Capp's is one of my favorite restaurants. It does get its share of tourists, but also has a steady stream of loyal locals. When you are looking for a solid, casual, unpretentious, huge Italian dinner, ...
My wife and I stumbled onto this small, storefront restaurant one rainy evening and enjoyed one of the more romantic dinners we could imagine. Jackson Fillmore is not a pricey, upscale establishment, but the combination of the bustling waitstaff, steamy windows, soft Opera music and lovely, well-pre...
We were transport into Italy, with autentic Italian food and atmophere, nice portions and good price. We are looking for to go back and have that great Lasagna or Linguine Pescatore with a glass of Machiavelly Chianty.
