small plates that aren't ripoffs – Pesce serves up some of the tastiest and most creative small plates (Italian) that I've seen. Best of all, given the size of the small plates (larger than many other places) and the execution, the prices are reasonable (each of us paid $30, including tax, tip, and wine, and walked away full). I would definitely go back (wish it was in my neighborhood) and would definitely recommend you go. We had crab cakes, lamb shanks, English peas with bacon and carmelized onions, and a smoked fish platt... read more
Bring a Skinny Date – The food was o.k. The services was o.k. The ambience was o.k. But WOW great bathrooms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eat Here - Period. – It is consistently delicious, probably some of the best, straightforward food in San Francisco. Truly, eating at Pesce is a delightful experience. It is so nice that someone in this business is paying attention!
IF YOU SKIP THIS PLACE IT IS YOUR LOSS – Absolutely one of the best meals I have ever had in the city. This little known place is just the find me and my friends were looking for -- neighborhood atmosphere, authentic Italian seafood (if "real" Italian is your crave), friendly service and best of all, great prices. What's different about this place is the small plates allow you to have a bunch of great tates vs. the typical standard 2 to 3 course thing. Best bests: Swordfish rolls, Bacala; Halibut and my friends favorite, the... read more
Fab, fun, and fresh! – Pesce was so much fun!! Not only was there a sense of warmth and friendliness inside, but everyone seemed to be having actual fun...like in a beer commercial. It seemed as though everyone was thoroughly enjoying the food and the service and the vibe that was going on. The crab cakes were from heaven, the scallops were the freshest I'd ever had, and the scalloped potatoes were so great, they beat even mom's. I can't wait to go back and have the vanilla bean gelato again! The service was so attentive and... read more
Beauty in simplicity – I have just had a 30th B-Day celebration with about 50 people at Pesce and let me say everyone should have a party here. I have dined at both Antica and Pesce a number of times and never tire of them. The food is some of the best in the city (and the most straight forward) and the family-like service is very good. The Squid Ink risotto and the Scropino are amazing at Pesce! These guys know how to do it!
THE BEST ITALIAN SEAFOOD! – If Venetian style dishes are your desire than this is the only place to go. When we go to San Francisco we always trry to get into this spot but the lines were crazy. Now that they take reservations, we've been twice. Try the grilled calamari with potato and celery, and the halbut baked in an amazing tomato, wine and herb broth, the lamb shank with orzo, and the oyster shooters. Everything we ate here was wonderful. Go early on the weekends as it gets rather crazy later in the evening. Charming se... read more
Great Food, Ambiance and Sangria! – As if the food wasnt incredible enough - the staff and crowd will create a great mood for night out on Polk Street. This is a friendly, stylish addition to the block, with a newly updated menu that will blow your socks off! I used to go before they changed the menu and now I like it even better! Small and large dishes are great for sharing and the wine list (and yummy Sangria too) are perfect. If you are lucky to get a seat outside on a warm evening its great for people watching- its a gre... read more
great for a balmy night – I went there on a Tuesday night with some girlfriends. We sat outside and people-watched while drinking some good wine. The food was really good including the seared ahi on mixed greens ($15.50), a really great penne arrabbiata ($7), and a yummy caesar salad ($7). The wait staff was very friendly and easy-going. Definitely will be going back very soon.
