Gold Mirror Italian Restaurant

About this business

This restaurant is cited as having some of the finest Italian food in the city. The name is not just a flight of fancy. On the wall hangs a beautiful gold mirror while the rest of the restaurant is more rustic than ornate. A cozy place to enjoy a meal, the menu is a mix of fish, chicken, and pasta. Cannelloni pasta is the house specialty. Other recommended items include the Chicken Cacciatore and the Louisiana Jumbo Prawns. In addition, the restaurant boasts a large selection of California wines. The service is great. Please... read more

I am certainly going back here. There are so many things to talk about this place. The food is overwhelmingly good, a little bit pricey by my standard, but is totally worth it. The service is quite fine and very prompt, definitely one of the best around.

Best Dishes in the City with a Friendly Family Owned Feel – A friend of mine had a Christmas party at the Gold Mirror in December. We all shared our dishes with eachother and I can't say that I disliked any! The prime rib was perfection and the veal picatta was excellent. The waiters and busboys were very attentive. We even received a visit from one of the Chefs to our table. The DiGrande family works tirelessly to keep this place at a level of perfection, always. I will definitely be back!

Best Lasagna in the world, but don't think the owner is going to greet you if you're black(well, she's never greeted me...) – I'm so in love with the lasagna......the chief knows everytime I come in the door to start making it, it takes about 20 minutes to prepare because it's freshly made, and I'd wait an hour to have the most heavenly lasagna ever....the only thing that bothers me about the place is I've been there so much that the waiters, cooks, and bus boys know me (by face) and speaks everytime they see me, but the own... read more

Busy/Noisy/Cold – The noise level was very high. Front "handicap" door opens and stays open for a certain length of time; cold air kept blowing in across my legs. A large party got all the attention from our waiter. My scallops came with rice and broccoli which was way over cooked, the scallops barely cooked and in a very salty sauce. The waiter never came by to see how our meals were. I am a very good cook but not a paid chef, so PUHLEEZE, couldn't you come up with something more interesting than mushy broccoli and rice?? M... read more

Fabulous Cicilian/Italian Cuisine – I went to the Gold Mirror on a dinner date a few weeks ago. I was in awe the second I walked through its doors. The newly remodeled dining room was beautiful, like stepping back in time. I was quickly greeted by the beautiful hostess Josephine who owns the GM with her family and we were sat very promptly. The ambiance inside is like no other restaraunt. Nothing in North Beach rivals this place. I felt like I was in little Italy. The busboys brought out fresh, hot bread as soon as we were s... read more

A hidden treasure in the Sunset – Everyone thinks of North Beach for Italian food. In the Sunset, this is a good Italian restaurant to take the family. I've been here twice this year and they serve a delicious prime rib and the veal parmagiana was equally good. Skip the soups, neither the minnestrone or white clam chowder were worth tasting, but the fried calamari appetizer (fried, then sauteed) in a garlicky butter sauce was really good. The bread was crunchy and crusty. The waiter was very attentive & checked back with us ... read more

A Slice of North Beach in the Parkside – We moved here 2 years ago, and had only eaten at the Gold Mirror twice before their remodel. It was worth the wait! The food is better than ever. Great calamari, incredible ravioli, rich 3 cheese lasagna. Old school martinis sized just right so you're not sloshed after 1 drink. A lovely family operation - you can feel the warm welcome in every bite. Wine list is mezzo-mezzo, ask for the Bastardo by the glass if they have it. Cheese & crackers will keep you from starving if you didn't ... read more

great place for a great meal – My parents were visiting from out of town and on a whim I took them to the Gold Mirror. Although we arrived just as they opened at 5pm, we were seated immediately and the service was great. The waiter was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and had the chef create a special pasta and shrimp dish for my mother even though it wasn't on the menu. Most of the food was perfectly done; my only problem was that my chicken picatta was a little too thick. Overall, a very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere w... read more
