Pazzia Caffe Trattoria - San Francisco

This place is quite small. There's an outdoor seating area. I liked the the look the vibe. We went on 2.14. Not intentionally on V day. We had an early reservation time. But it quickly filled up, many regulars. It was nice to see the dynamic. We ordered the coccoli this is just delicious. We've had something similar at Tony's pizza place in North Beach. It's so yummy. We also ordered a Caesar to share. Hubs didn't love it. But I liked it fine I ordered pappardelle w the wild board ragu. My husband got the tagliolini with crab. Very generous portions of crab meat. We had a fun walk back to Davies in the rain. : We will definitely be back.

Did not feel like the quality of the food matched the price point. Also, service was very uneven, on the verge of inattentive. We sat for about 10 minutes after being seated to place a drink order, and the dining area is only about 12 tables and not full when we sat. Server and host were busily chatting while we sat there. Even after we placed drink orders it took a while and server didn 't return to take our food order for another long pause. Meanwhile, seeming regulars were coming in and getting gushed over with long greetings while we waited to place our food orders. This would be fine if we were sitting on a piazza in Trieste, but this is basically a strip mall in SoMA. Food was adequate, but not really special- spinach pasta w salmon was bland, and not much salmon. The salmon entree was better. We added a few heaps of grated parmesan to get some essence of flavor on the pasta dish. Maybe the pizzas are better? We all agreed that had the service been better we might not have been so disappointed, but the combo of middle of the road Italian in a city with some great options, poor service, and value at the price point puts this on the one and done list. Allora!

This is our favorite Italian restaurant in NorCal. Food is fresh and excellent, great service and nice restaurant.

Delicious Italian food in a cute restaurant! It was easy to find street parking right in front, and there are heat lamps if you're sitting at the patio. There are plenty of appetizers and mains to choose from our favorite dish was the tortellini! There was so much filling inside and tasted wonderful. The portions aren't huge, but for 5 people, 2 pastas, 2 appetizers, and a pizza were enough for us to be comfortably full. The restaurant was pretty crowded, so I definitely recommend making a reservation online. A nice little Italian shop in mission bay that's great for your pasta craving!

We arrived as a party of 5 on Friday evening and were seated quickly despite a very busy evening for the restaurant. The seating area is in one large room, so you do cozy up a bit with the rest of the patrons and can seek refuge in the constant chatter. We got the Parmesan and bread to start which I'd probably skip on if I were to go again as it wasn't a lot of food or anything particularly special. I got the spaghetti pomodoro which was REALLY good and filling, I thoroughly enjoyed it! We left satisfied.
