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

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

My 50th Birthday Party – Hi Gold Mirror, I just wanted to write and thank your staff for the wonderful time my guests and I had at the Gold Mirror for my 50th birthday party. Your banquet room is beautiful and I just love how the balcony overlooks the main dining room!! The food was simply devine. Kudos to our waiter Salon, he kept us happy and made sure we had a good time. We will definitely be back again soon.

Belissimo – Great authentic Italian restaurant. The last time I was here was before the remodel and WOW is this place classy! The food is better than ever, the fresh Calamari saute appetizer was deliscious, they don't deep fry them like most places. The Saltinbocca was fantastic and the Tiramisu was out of this world. The friends I was with had the homemade ravioli stuffed with Veal and Canelloni which they both enjoyed. The service was good considering how busy this place was on a Monday night, luckily we had a reservation ... read more

WOW!!! - San Francisco Restaurants look out – Unbelievable!! I've lived in San Fancisco for 40 years and have just discovered the Gold Mirror after it's grand re-opening. So far I've dined there 6 times since it's grand re-opening and each time the food, service and atmosphere has been excellent. My wife and I have been dining out every Saturday night in SF for the last 20 years and the Gold Mirror is our new favorite. I ordered the Veal Scallopini mushroon and my wife had the Petrale which was very fresh and cooked perfectl... read more

There are plenty other good italian restaurants in the city. there so called fresh fish was not good, and there service was very rude especially the waiter with the glasses.
