Tried Pazzia on recommendation of our hotel concierge. He was right when he said we would enjoy Pazzia. The pasta was homemade as was the sauce. My wife and I are of Italian ancestry and our meals were as close to home cooking as we have ever had in a restaurant. And the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend this little neighborhood gem when you're in San Fran. ??????????

best Italian restaurant in town – I've been eating at this restaurant since it opened many years ago. I have never had anything short of an excellent experience there. The food is consistently superb. The atmosphere genuinely Italian friendly and the service is always right on the mark. It is small and usually crowded and a bit noisy but it all fits perfectly. Everyone i've taken there has loved the place. If you've had a less than ideal experience there, it's an aberration, I assure you. Go back and try it again. You'll be ... read more

Florence in SOMA – I was looking for some neopolitan pizza and a decent glass of red wine after 9:00 on a Wednesday evening. I've lived in the area for several years so I am stupefied as to why I have not discovered this place yet. The place was packed and alive and I was promptly greeted and seated by Massimo. I ordered the minestrone (MMH, soup of the day), prosciuto and arugula pizza (delicious) and I saved room for the tiramisu and grappa. I cannot wait to come back to try some of the fresh pasta as well as the seafood d... read more

Great food, wine and atmosphere – I visited Pazzia after it was highly recommeded, and WOW what a great find! The wait was about 20mins (weeknight), but well worth it. I ordered the seafood rissotto ($14), which was excellent, it had the best tomato flavor. I accompanied this dish with a bottle of chianti (can't remember the exact brand; $30), one of the best red wines I've ever had. The tiramisu ($6) was perfect, it went great with the wine as well! The patio seating was small but very homey. The owner came by to introduce ... read more

Fresh Pasta and Great Wine – Love this place. It is small but very busy. I like that. All the different types of pasta to choose from are excellent, try the torteillni. Asked the server for a recommendation on wine, she came right back with a great selection. The Owner is out to greet all of the guest. Great place, please try.

Great authentic food, friendly service – Pasta was fresh and delicious. Pizza was thin-crusted and delicious. Service was friendly and willing. Went out of their way to check to make sure that we were enjoying the food. The server was particularly kind to our 11 year old boyl My family was reminded of a local trattoria in Italy. We'll be back.

Prison Food? – We heard this place had great pizza, but we never found out. We were abandoned by the host at our table. Neither of the two servers acknowledged us or gave us any menus. Thank goodness for the busser who dropped off some bread and water. The host had time to canoodle with almost every other patron, but none to give us a menu? Are you kidding? After 30 minutes of watching the busser work and the others stand around dumbfounded, we left. What a waste of time. Good luck staying in business, people!

Skip It – Upon reading some of the reviews about their pizza, I had to try this place out, since I was in the area. Walking up, it was a cute little italian place that was packed. No mind though, I'm patient. Upon being seated, it took 20 minutes for anybody to acknowledge us. We were about to just walk out, but finally someone came and brought water and took our order (I didn't want to wait another 20 minutes to order)! The pizza was not bad I must say, but nothing all that special. My fiance ordered a pasta dish. Now, I'm ... read more

Setting the record straight – After reading two reviews below, the only two with a single star, I have to write and set the record straight and say that in the first case, I have been to this restaurant many, many times in ten years and I have NEVER seen the owner belittle anyone, much less his staff. Many of his staff have been with him all these ten years I have been dining here. In an industry where frequent turnover is the norm, if he was indeed so horrible, I think he would have much more turnover than he does. She must... read more
