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 .
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.
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.
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 .
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.
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
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 !
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.
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.
Get a Diablo cocktail to start. MUST try the burrata and walnut bread + the squid ink risotto .
The walnut bread was great and the margherita burrata (I added prosciutto ) was also really good.
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
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.
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.
The cherry tomato pizza with pesto was the best, after a round of perfect appetizers : piquillo peppers , dungeness arancini , and fried cauliflower
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 !
Try the Funghi and Truffled Panna Risotto - #kvpinmybelly Decadent, late-night meal after work. Rich, creamy and cheesy. Nice woody notes from the mushrooms
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 .
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.
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 ).
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
Focaccia with a side of truffle honey/burrata & gnocchi w/ porcini was amazing! Pizza , mushroom risotto & sweet potato fries were just ok
Pro tip: order a lot of starters (antipasti ) and share a pizza . Cocktails here are really good, but you should expect a line .
the margherita pizza was absolutely delicious. and they make the best pimms cup in the city !
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 .
Get the off-menu "bartender 's special" pizza . Burrata , sausage , peppers , and spicy marinara .
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 .
Go off hours. Get the eggplant appetizer and any pizzas . The basil cocktail is super interesting. Great drinks. Too busy at night.
For vegetarians : Starters: walnut bread , sweet potato fries , herb focaccia . Pizzas : margherita burrata , funghi misti
This is labeled "Italian" but the proper food group is "Orgasmic." (Favorites: walnut bread , whatever gnocchi for the season, stuffed peppers ...everything.)
Italian-inspired eatery Beretta dishes out seasonal, organic and locally sourced comfort food , like satisfying mushroom and margarita pizzas . Read more
Lively atmosphere , great cocktails and food with some outdoor seating when the weather is nice.
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 .
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 .
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.
Bird menu is the best menu. Find a bird you identify (for the day)with and drink designated cocktail . You will find yourself.
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.
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!
Secret tip: make a reservation for groups of 6 or more and get $35 fixed price menu, including appetizers , salad , and mains
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
The bar is first-come-first-serve so even if you've put your name on the waitlist, watch for the bar opening up!
don't worry about making a reservation . if you get there before 6pm (like even 5:55) you can get a seat the bar
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.”
DEFINITELY get the walnut bread - it's unreal. Creamy spinach pizza was great too. French toast was decent. Overall ????
Great spot food good but even for a Midweek it was loud inside can't imagine weekend. Big bonus the kitchen is open Late .
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!
Great and decently priced pasta and pizzas . Get here earlier to avoid line (no reservations )
Really great for a spontaneous lunch. Attracted to come in by the larger healthy salads, seduced by the fantastic rigatoni and bucatini. - Brian Strauss
Go for the tasting menu, including the wine. Awesome. Also, the most wonderful staff add to the whole shebang. - Alasdair Scott
Excellent spaghetti and meatballs! Expect a wait at this popular neighborhood spot. - Bikash Mishra
The negroni, the slow moving ceiling fans and white tablecloths - cosy & chilled, almost classy! - Laurie Bennett
Earl grey ice cream is awesome! Almond toffee topping is also incredible! - Ben Mai
Excellent coffee, great meeting spot. Lots of space to chat. Amazingly, the baristas seem to be different every day. Don't forget they have multiple espressos to choose from! - Josh Pyles
