Emmy's Spaghetti Shack

I've always wanted to try this place and it didn't disappoint. The Caesar salad was so simple, so good. The spaghetti & meatballs came out steaming hot. Loved it! Tiny place though.

We weren’t sure if we stumbled into a dive bar or a kitschy “Italian” diner . Turns out, it’s a little bit of both. Simple but perfectly executed food + complex cocktails = a perfect, casual evening.

Spaghetti is nothing fancy yet well-cooked and comforting. Ask for no meatballs if vegetarian . Orecchiette is fantastic: kind of an upscale mac & cheese . Free focaccia so skip the cheesy garlic bread .

Spaghetti / meatballs is a classic - meatballs definitely the highlight. Garlic bread was good but not super memorable; mozz balls are a must have. Risotto w jalapeño has more kick than you expect!

GET THE SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS OBVIOUSLY

Love this place. I have an auxiliary stomach just for their no frills spaghetti . Get the classic spaghetti and meatballs and the fried cauliflower mozzarella balls.. cheesy goodness.

Friendly service , solid food, neighborhood staple. Can’t go wrong with the signature spaghetti and meatballs !

The spaghetti and meatballs highlight the meatballs , the spaghetti and sauce eh..too basic. I do recommend trying it, mom and pop restaurant with a yuppie clientel.

truffle parm fries are crack ! mussels w/garlic bread and spaghetti was good BUT the Mayan prawn risotto was PERFECTION

Cute waiters + delicious wine/cocktails + mouth watering ceasar salad (share 1 between 2 people) + best spaghetti & meatballs you'll ever have in your life!

Loved the zoodles ! Packed with flavor. And the traditional spaghettis are super yummy too!

The flat iron steak , served with dino kale and mashed potatoes , is a flat out delicious paleo meal. A pleasant surprise for a spaghetti shack.

New location down the street at 3230 Mission St. Get the Mango Serano Michelada . Super spicy and delicious.

Small place and could be a wait sometimes but Amazing meatballs and try out the salad as well . Everything on the menu is delicious.

Quirky fun restaurant with delicious spaghetti and meatballs . Gets crowded so make a reservation if possible.

Spaghetti , meatballs , and a glass of wine make for divine dining. The wait is worth it, and the garlic bread ? It's weaponized in all the right ways.

Really great prices and delicious food! Quick, friendly service . Highly recommend the classic sketti n meatballs !!!

This place is perfect, the best meatballs of San Francisco (yes, include all of them)

Chocolate Truffle Cake with seasonal poached fruit , Mitchells vanilla ice cream and Carlos's amazing rum sauce

Zoodles and garlic bread ! <3 Salads are worth it for the price, as well .

Order a drink (alcoholic variety) or you will be treated like a second class citizen. It's pretty sweet that you can get a 40 with your dinner though. They are a bit pricey however - $8 for a Mickey's

Zoodles are delicious if you're looking for something low-carb, otherwise, get the traditional spaghetti and meatballs .

I love spaghetti and this place does it right. Excellent wine pairings and a cool vibe.

This is excellent, good food and good service . Also, the people there are so friendly .

Delicious! I tried the oricchiette and wasn’t disappointed.

Cute cozy vibe inside. Cauliflower balls are delicious. Spaghetti w meatballs solid, huge portion .

Nice place for a comforting spaghetti-and-meatballs-type meal.

Kids eat FREE on Monday & Tuesday from 5-7pm. Awww yeah!

Spaghetti & meatballs + garlic bread is a must. Flatiron steak w/ egg and doughnut w vanilla ice cream , toffee and pecans is delicious!

Spagghetti and Meatballz and a full bar , who could ask for me. Try the Shalzerac if you want a cocktail with a kick.

LOVE this place! First off, they serve 40s of Mickeys +1,000 bonus points! The jalapeno margerita is good, but spicy . The calamari , citrus salad , branzino , meatballs=amazing. Skip the beet risotto !

Spaghetti and meatballs were fantastic ???? service is a little slow, but worth the wait!

Excellent spaghetti and meatballs ! Expect a wait at this popular neighborhood spot .

Eggplant lasagna was the best I’ve ever had. Fully recommend

Home to the last of the rockabilly waitstaff in San Francisco. (Where did the rest of them go?)

Always get the meatballs with the spaghetti . Only $2 more and you can always take them home! (Otherwise, it would be 3x$4 ($12) just to buy 3 meatballs ) Read more

I have literally never had food from Emmy's that I didn't thoroughly enjoy... and I go there a lot.

The Orecchiette with asparagus is one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had.

Always appreciate a venue that goes all out for October.

Great little local spot . Spaghetti is delicious. The wine list is surprisingly good.

spaghetti and meatballs are great here... cool lil hipster hangout too. in the mission.

Less wait quicker seating times tend to be 5:30,7,8:40 or 10+later. There's a ton of kids at 5:30 so if that bugs you hit the bar and come later

⚠️Caution: The price on the menu is the cash price. If you pay with card, you’re charged a 3.5% fee, no matter what your total is.

Our favorite spaghetti in SF! Great garlic bread and good value menu overall. The funky decor and vibe makes for a great night out with friends.

Yum, yum, and yum. Great for families of you go early enough.

Try their spaghetti and meatballs ! Amazing ! to die for!

Their jalapeño drink was surprisingly good.

That marinara sauce was incredible. Also, pinball machines !!

Awesome spaghetti and meatballs ! One entree was large enough for two of us

Reminds me a little bit of the Supper / Frank / Little Frankie's family restaurants in the East Village , NYC. Food was delicious... albeit, the booth seating was a little slanty Read more
