The drinks and food are a perfect pairing. The food is relatively inexpensive , high-quality, liquor-absorbing and, most importantly, comes out at the pace of cocktails—within a few minutes of ordering

It's a huge pain in the ass to go here for dinner if you don't have a reservation . Go early or very late (kitchen is open till midnight), or go for brunch and get the gobsmacking french toast .

Eater

This Mission hotspot is always packed, with good reason. The menu is rife with antipasti , pizzas , pastas , risottos , and rotating daily specials like cioppino and short ribs . Read more

AJ makes some damn good drinks. The meatballs are damn good, and on the whole the food is great. Very friendly and efficient staff , but sadly no tips on that missing R2 unit.

Vivek Venkatram

Hipster Italian joint turning out really tasty thin-crust pizza , amazing small plates and fantastic craft cocktails continues to be the go-to spot for launching a night out in the Mission.

Bommy

Walnut bread with burrata & mushroom-truffle honey is fantastic. Try the gnocchi with porcini & smoked pancetta , plus the funghi & panna risotto . Paloma cocktail is very grapefruity so go for diablo .

Candace Villanueva

The cocktails are fantastic. The carpaccio was delicious & traditional. The risotto not so much. We had two different risotto entrees & they were both boring & flat.

Andrew Lam

The food is amazing, the cocktails are refined, and it's open way late for us night owls. Try gnocchi with pancetta , saffron risotto with osso bucco , or any pizza . NB last call for food is 1am nightly

Heena Karani

Hands down this place has amazing food. Really popular & can see why. Order the broccolini & the spicy pizza with burrata . Service is great too. Just a shame they don't have wifi .

Best cesar salad and herb onion bread , the asparagus risotto was great for dinner and the tiramisu was wonderful for dessert !

MLO

Great food. The Panna gelato with olive oil and sea salt is not to be kissed. Great cocktails and babies who DJ on their iPads make this one of SF's best tables.

Gunnar Aasen

The Friday lasagna special and saffron risotto with osso bucco are both delicious. Can't go wrong with any of the pizzas either. There's a "hidden" cocktail list but the regular ones are also tasty.

Stephany

Get a Diablo cocktail to start. MUST try the burrata and walnut bread + the squid ink risotto .

Daniel Mejia

The walnut bread was great and the margherita burrata (I added prosciutto ) was also really good.

Eater

Beretta's weekend brunch menu offers special cocktails , new dishes and a "brunch punch." This refreshing seasonal cauldron of booze changes weekly, and is $8 per glass during brunch . Read more

Bridget Gael

One of our best meals in SF! Loved the fiore vodka cocktail , meatballs , burrata & walnut bread , broccolini , and bartenders pizza . If you like tiramisu , this was as good as it comes.

Ashok Lalwani

I would go to this rest. for their delicious antipasti anytime. Our favorites were Walnut bread burrata , fava bean bruschetta . Fungi vegetarian pizza was perfect too. It is a bit loud though.

Alice M

The cherry tomato pizza with pesto was the best, after a round of perfect appetizers : piquillo peppers , dungeness arancini , and fried cauliflower

Natalie K

This restaurant was AMAZEBALLS. Things to definitely get: crab arancini , broccolini , one of the risottos , one of the pizzas . Cocktails are also fantastic. Great date night spot !

Kris Vera-Phillips

Try the Funghi and Truffled Panna Risotto - #kvpinmybelly Decadent, late-night meal after work. Rich, creamy and cheesy. Nice woody notes from the mushrooms

Barton Smith

San Francisco has a consistent style of Italian food among it's many great Italian restaurants but Beretta is probably my favorite. I like the cocktails , meatballs and spicy Italian sausage pizza .

Jessica Llanes

Such a fun place for a late night bite. Friendly service and fabulous food. Meatballs , Brussels sprouts , gnocchi & beef carpaccio were all delish. Small servings on antipasto but fun to mix and match.

Kaitlin Yapchaian

If you're there on Friday get the lasagne bolognese . And the bread w/mushroom and honey even if you aren't into mushrooms . And the meatballs ! Katie is the best waitress I've had (at any restaurant ).

Meghana Dhar

Everything is superb, especially the eggplant caponatina w/ burrata , fava bean bruschetta , gnocchi , dungeness crab arancini . But srsly-- the budino di cioccolato is the best dessert I've had in SF

Ivy Lively

Focaccia with a side of truffle honey/burrata & gnocchi w/ porcini was amazing! Pizza , mushroom risotto & sweet potato fries were just ok

Michael Lunøe

Pro tip: order a lot of starters (antipasti ) and share a pizza . Cocktails here are really good, but you should expect a line .

cami j.

the margherita pizza was absolutely delicious. and they make the best pimms cup in the city !

Kidhack

What do say about beretta? It might be my favorite restaurant in San Francisco. The reasons: great food, great brunch , great mixed drinks , great wine , great service, open till 1 am, sustainable, hip .

Justin Chen

Get the off-menu "bartender 's special" pizza . Burrata , sausage , peppers , and spicy marinara .

VegNews Magazine

For fine (but trendy ) dining, Beretta can't be beat. This cozy restaurant has some of the best cocktails in the city , and will substitute vegan cheese or sausage onto any of their killer pizzas .

Jeff Weinstein

Go off hours. Get the eggplant appetizer and any pizzas . The basil cocktail is super interesting. Great drinks. Too busy at night.

Graham Place

For vegetarians : Starters: walnut bread , sweet potato fries , herb focaccia . Pizzas : margherita burrata , funghi misti

Maggie

This is labeled "Italian" but the proper food group is "Orgasmic." (Favorites: walnut bread , whatever gnocchi for the season, stuffed peppers ...everything.)

Reserve

Italian-inspired eatery Beretta dishes out seasonal, organic and locally sourced comfort food , like satisfying mushroom and margarita pizzas . Read more

Wade Convay

Lively atmosphere , great cocktails and food with some outdoor seating when the weather is nice.

Jenna Odett Laskin

They don't take reservations , but do offer call-aheads. The cocktails are awesome. my favorite small plate is the walnut bread , burrata , truffle tapenade , and honey . Salads are big. Skip bruschetta .

Val

Ask for the vegan menu . They usually have 3-5 starters, a couple salads and a pizza . Vegan cheese (FYH I think) and vegan chorizo .

Raj S.

My oh my. Gnocchi . Arancini with crab . Ask for the pepper oil on the side if you want to add some spice to your pizza ; all of them are well worth it.

Emily Rose

Bird menu is the best menu. Find a bird you identify (for the day)with and drink designated cocktail . You will find yourself.

Jimmy Hooker

A hip italian spot in the Mission, everything was good. Expect more conservative portions relative to other italian places . Worth the visit, but get a reservation on Fri/Sat.

Kidhack

Need some heat on your pizza ? Do like the northern Italians and skip the red pepper flakes and ask for a side of spicy olive oil . Drizzle and enjoy!

Rob Atkinson

Secret tip: make a reservation for groups of 6 or more and get $35 fixed price menu, including appetizers , salad , and mains

Michael Goode

This place is simply amazing! I could come here every night. First, do not be afraid to ask for the "a field guide to the birds" drink menu. Calamari pizza is ???? as F, apps crab cakes & eggplant nom

Kim

The bar is first-come-first-serve so even if you've put your name on the waitlist, watch for the bar opening up!

Endelman NIna

don't worry about making a reservation . if you get there before 6pm (like even 5:55) you can get a seat the bar

Jessica Rae

Zagat 24. Cost $37. “delicous artisan pizzas”, “exquisite” Italian small plates and “magical”, “outstanding cocktails ” P.S. the gelato with EVOO and sea salt is “a must.”

T Z

DEFINITELY get the walnut bread - it's unreal. Creamy spinach pizza was great too. French toast was decent. Overall ????

Tone Mosley

Great spot food good but even for a Midweek it was loud inside can't imagine weekend. Big bonus the kitchen is open Late .

Andres Novoa

Out of all the delicious food I've had here the star of the show is hands down their cauliflower appetizer !! One order never seems to be enough!

Rebecca Kwee

Great and decently priced pasta and pizzas . Get here earlier to avoid line (no reservations )
