About this business
SPQR is a Roman Osteria, which means an informal Italian restaurant which features wine. The restaurant is very small, which creates a cozy atmosphere and a long wait for a table. SPQR does not take reservations, and the larger your party the longer your wait. However, once you have tasted the food the wait will be worth it. SPQR serves traditional Italian cuisine that is both simple and incredibly flavorful. Don't forget to ask your waiter about the perfect wine to go with your meal. With a glass of wine and plate of Gnocch... read more

Pasta Heaven – SPQR is quickly becoming one of my favorites, especially since it is open until 10:30pm unlike most other spots in my neighborhood! The buckwheat pasta is a must--savory but simple. I want to lick the plate when the last of it is gone. The buratta is like mozzarella but creamier. Its covered with balsamic vinegar and sea salt--I always end up ordering it but wish it came with a crustini....
Pretty dang good – The french press coffee was so fresh. Paired with the corned beef hash (a rare menu option) I'd say it was a pretty delish meal. I wish the menu selection was a bit larger, but all in all, I walked out smiling.
So confused – Ok feel free to call me dumb, but I could not understand their brunch menu! The only thing I could pick out that looked familiar was 2 eggs with bacon and potatoes, so that is what I ordered. The bacon wasn't crispy which kind of sucked. In addition I also ordered the pecorino biscuit which was delicious! I know the food here is probably really great, but if I can't even read them menu, that is never a good start.
Nice Try but Food Won't Cut It – With the stellar reviews that this restaurant received it is hard to believe that they are really in the food business. I haven't had pasta this bad since college in the dorm. I was stunned by the low grade of food from appetizer to pasta. The dessert was passable, but then it was only sorbet! A real waste of money and time. Thank goodness our dining companions who kept our minds away from the food! Stay away!
great appetizers and wine selection but u will eat at the bar! – I liked SPQRs food, though it took me 3 attempts to eat there without waiting for 90 minutes. I also thought the travelvixen review was pretty snobby. I've travelled everywhere and the food culture in London is only recently developed; and who cares if you have a place in Paris? that doesn't make your standards higher on desert, trust me. but i guess a snob like you thinks the rest of us just don't have your palette so the desert is okay for us. jesus.
Best part was leaving. – I felt as though I missed out on the good food at this place. I sat by the kitchen and saw some very creatie looking dishes being prepared and I was enjoying this. But I was very dissappointed after having one of the worst italian meal I had in san francisco. I tried two appetizers, the first one was recommended higly, but it tasted like baby food farina with tasteless mushrooms on top. I give it a good grade for freshness though. More tasteless than authentic English food. The next appetizer, the ri... read more
SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS – My first impression of this place is warm and inviting. The brussel sprouts are delicious, a bit greasy. We have tried several different pastas, perfectedly al dente.
A not to miss winning wining and dining experience for a BARGAIN price – Pleasant surprise! Coming from the Michelin food capital of the world, London, and with a second home in Paris, I can easily be considered an HMF- High Maintenance Foodie. Couple that with a desire for healthful offerings with great taste and you've got quite a challenge to please me. However, SPQR did that with no apparent effort and at extremely reasonable prices for both food and wine. My warm and knowledgeable server was attentive without being brus... read more
EXCELLENT FOOD – I had a fantastic lunch here. The food made a lasting impression; I ate there over a week a week ago;. Enjoyed the beets with ricotta, white beans with pork soffrito (sp? ground pork tomato based sauce) and the most amazing brussel sprouts fried with garlic. The scallop entree and had the bundido dessert were nice as well. EVERYTHING we had was so tasty. There was no wait when we arrived around 11:45 am; the restaurant was about half full. Service was normal - not great, not terrible. The atmosphere had the ... read more
