The most lovely, quiet Italian spot — felt like I had transported to Sardinia. Incredible wine list - we loved the hurrays arugula salad and whole roasted prawns

Get the Sardinian bread , spaghetti with the fish roe , roasted prawns (legit so soft and delicious) burrata salad , amazing wines !

Amazing little Sardinian neighborhood eatery , with impressive Italian wine list. I highly recommend the baby octopus stew and sea urchin pasta !

Fabulous, intimate , fun and DELICIOUS. Particularly love the family running this neighbourhood gem.

Cannonau wine . Rank order:spaghetti perf al dente , chewy & garlicky. Squid ink linguine=lemony & crisp. Sea urchin pasta=heaviest of 3 & like a salty sea urchin flavor pearl couscous . Terrific EVOO .

Make a reservation in advance. If you order 1 appetizer , 2 first, and 2 main = perfect portion size for 3 people. Don't forget a bottle of wine because they have an amazing list.

Check in BEFORE you get seated; they ask no electronics be used at the table. After that, order the squid , then the perfectly cooked & seasoned Spaghittusu Bottariga . It lives up to the hype.

I loved the spaghetti for the pasta dish and the octopus for the starter. Also try the crispy flatbread

Fabulous staff . Fregula with uni and tuna heart is a winner! Don't forget to check out the wine list too. Comes close to dining in Italy.

Not so much San Francisco Italian, as pure unadulterated regional Italian, this family-run sparkler is free of pretension and full of love. Don’t miss the sea urchin pasta . [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Must try octopus stew . Lamb is also recommended. Expect longer waits for food to be prepared. Wine list is extensive and Italian

Baby octopus and spagehet with fish roe 🙌🏻 backyard patio was also great and tables are distanced.. great food👌🏻

amazing!! I love their pasta dish, but i can't ever find the name online. But it's a pork and pasta w/ red sauce

Imagine the most tender octopus in an italian mole-like stew . Combine that with delish pasta , meat plates, and incredibly kind service - win win win.

one of the only places in the city you can get Argiolas wine . Burrata is perfect. Get the seafood or fish - meat is done better elsewhere.

All of the dishes are wonderful. Fresh fish , the pork Scalapino, but rats cheese appetizer , best prosciutto ever!

Try the feather-light flatbread called pani guttiau, the roast sea bream with olive sugo, or the signature prupisceddu in umidu, velvety octopus stewed in tomato sauce : Read more

Don't miss the Spaghittusu cun Allu Ollu e Bottariga (Fresh Spaghetti Spicy Garlic Oil Salt Cured Fish Roe )

Favorite tables are up front by the windows. Love this place and have had two fantastic dinners here. Service is excellent.

Mushroom spaghetti dish was yummy and the burrata was incredible

Best Italian I've had in a long time, east or west coast! Get the spicy baby octopus stew & squid ink linguine . Foodie. Heaven.

Arguably the best Italian restaurant in SF. Perfect 🍝 .

Featured and reviewed restaurant on KQED Check, Please Bay Area Season 5, Episode 7. I'll have to make a stop here one day for a taste of Sardinian cuisine .

The bottarga and octopus stew . This has earned a place as my top 5 best places in SF.

Amazing food, great people. Always get the baby octopus stew . Their margherita is perfect too. Good wine list , lately they've had a great Burrata dish too

Spicy octopus stew , uni tuna heart pasta , lamb chops , the special pasta of the day. Delicious.

The spicy octopus stew is as awesome as everyone says. Use the bread to sop up the extra sauce.

Octopus stew . This alone makes the place phenomenal.

The gnochetti with pork ragu and pecorino cheese . Let them recommend a wine .

The baby octopus is incredible. What a great, intimate restaurant .

If you appreciate food, this is a must visit. The husband/wife team who run it do a wonderful job!

The octopus stew !!! Everyone raves about it and it's worth it!

Baffling to me that this place is as popular as it is. The food is profoundly whatever. Also the owner is a MAGA nutjob.

Best Sardinian restaurant in SF. Family-run. Pasta is unreal.

If you get the traditional Sardinian dish, be warned - it's flavor is really strong

Everything is great!

Everything. Sounds boring, but the mixed greens are amazing.

So much good food, focus on the pastas if you’re worried about ordering too much.

Love the place! The owner is SO warm and sweet. The food is superb! Octopus stew , calamari , burrata are the best!!

Everything looked good, and was! I honored their request for no cameras , so I didn't snap any photo.

Amazing local spot for Sardinian cuisine .

Great place to try unique seafood dishes . Get a smorgasbord and share.

the spaghetti with bottarga is the best pasta dish I've ever had!

Sea urchin macaroni with shaved tuna heart!

One of the consistently best restaurants in the city .
