Recently, I was listening to a talk show on KGO and I heard the Chronicle's Food Critic Michael Bauer say that Pesce was one of his two favorite Italian restaurants in the City. I have to say that I couldn't agree more. Great little place.

YUM! – I have brought a number of family and friends here, and everyone has been impressed. The food is delicious, the service is wonderful, and the timing of the food is great. If you don't want to wait, I suggest going on a weekday or getting there early. Enjoy!

Amazing Service – Ignore the not-too-helpful "average" review posted. The reason why the "portions are small" is because its a small plates restaurant. Duh. And the back corner? I couldn't have asked for a more romantic intimate setting when I took my significant other. If you want more hustle and bustle, sit at the bar.

a MUST in SF – where to begin on this absolute GEM of a place? I travel the country during business trips and eat at new places across the counrty almost every week and this place is one of a handful anywhere that I would easily call the best of it's kind! Go there, try 6-8 small paltes with a couple of friends, leave happy and if you're lucky enough to meet the owner "Reza", it'll complete your Pesce experience. Try the: grilled sardines, octopus salad, braised tuna and the smoked platter all with a glass of Toasted Head Ch... read more

Venice on Polk? – If you're missing Venice, then come to Pesce! Wonderful seafood small plates, served by people with a passion for where they work. Fun, affordable, and innovative. They've also done a beautiful job with the decor. Mangia!

craving seafood? go pesce! – been here twice so far and enjoyed every plate! the service and the ambience is great but best of all is the food. very creative, fresh and just plain delicious. if you are a seafood fan and want to try some innovative dishes with the venetian influence, this place is a must! try the crab cakes, grilled sardines, drunken tuna, squid ink risotto, etc.... the menu also changes and they have a special of the day board to keep it fresh and new! i'll definitely keep on going back!
