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...
Cozy, romantic, great food. Better than North Beach. Awesome canneloni!

This is by far one of the best Italian restaurants in North America. Reasonably priced and a true Italian experience.
my friends and i love this place! i wrote a review on it in my school's newspaper in my "food column" The tiramisu is icing on the cake in every meal there!
50 dollars for 3 pasta dishes, penne w/ bolognese, spaghetti w/ meatballs, and ravioli (meat). The tiny salad came with 2 bitter romaine hearts in it, the meatballs were perhaps the saltiest I have ever had. They were burned on the bottom, and tasted slightly of fish. The penne plate was a huge stac...
Excellent, excellent, excellent.
This place is phenomenally good. I mean it is excellent. Great food, great service, and a wonderful old world Italian ambience make it the best I've seen.

Having traveled extensively throughout Italy, I have to say that Lupa is one of the most authentic Italian restaurants I've been to in the US. The spicy mussels and clams, the tortelloni and the rack of lamb are just a few of my favorites. And for dessert, you cannot beat the White Chocolate Lemon...

The food has always been spectacular and fresh. The chef makes all the pasta and bread from scratch right there. They have great salads and appetizers as well as meat and seafood dishes. And the best tiramisu around. The service is friendly and fast. It is casual but nice enough for a business dinne...

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...

Pros: A local favorite, small/cozy, great staff, inviting atmosphere, good menu selections, good food & wine. Cons: Not inexpensive, food has been inconsistant in temp, flavor,'freshness.' Never not good but some pasta may be a bit bland,tomato/mozzarella seems pulled out of fridge,some dishes are n...
One of my favorite places in San Francisco. The food is wonderful, the service is excellent, and the prices are moderate. Their Penne al Salmone is to die for!
The best restaurant in San Francisco! Friday night is their specialty - the Crab and Veal Dinners are exceptional! Must try Johnny's bread.. will cost you a little extra but it's the best bread in the city!

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...

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.
Expect a pleasant, enjoyable experience here. The food and service will entice you to join the "regulars" that keep coming back for great lunches and dinners.
Food: splendido. Service: simpatico. So glad we discovered this little gem on our way to Cinearts. Try it!

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...
Fantastico! Molto grazie to the nice Italian guys who served my food. Save room for dessert.
