one of my coworkers (actually two) recommended this place

5/5 by Gloria C. on 04/06/2022

one of my coworkers (actually two) recommended this place and holy. shit. It was inSANE!! Granted, I went in with no expectations or hype, and wow did it blow me out of the water! The pizza is quite honestly one of the best pizzas I've ever had in this lifetime - maybe the best? The crust was so thin but baked to perfection, and the sauce-cheese-crust ratio was just perfect. Their pasta - unlike anything I've ever had before, and it left me speechless, so I will say no more. The dessert though?? Had me mind blown because it was mindblown-worthy. You ever watch MasterChef or shows like those and you see someone craft something so beautiful and exquisite and your brain can't comprehend how they did it? This is one of those bowls. This is the sister restaurant of the restaurant next door, Quince (which has a few Michelin stars under its belt) and I'm no food critic, but I think this place deserves at least one Michelin star!! Plus they give blankets if you sit outside and it's really cute and intimate and perfect for date night!

😍

After Quince, we had to come to the sister next door for

5/5 by Angel Y. on 04/05/2022

After Quince, we had to come to the sister next door for another fine Italian dinner. We loved everything- from service (there was about 5-6 constantly walking around checking on things), the cozy and aesthetic parklet, to of course the food and dessert!While portions look small and can be considered pricey, this is definitely some of the best pastas I have had and just 3 dishes amongst 2 people will leave you stuffed. We got the paparadelle, agnolotti, and quail-- all perfectly cooked and seasoned. All in came to be about $100paxOk now hear me out... came for the pasta yes but the dessert deserves its own paragraph. We got the "pan dulci" with rum caramel and on god, never had anything like this. It was a soft pudding like circle of heaven a la mode and I literally timed that we killed it in 2 minutes. I would come back just for this!!

🙂

Arrived around 5:30pm Saturday evening.

4/5 by Colleen C. on 04/03/2022

Did not have reservations, and thought we could be seated quickly since the dining room wasn't completely full. However, walk ins are allowed but seated at the bar. We didn't mind, but had to wait 1.5 hours for available seats. Aside from the wait, everything else was smooth sailing. The food, service, ambiance all were great. Would come back again and try something different. Great place for birthday party, anniversary, families, or evening solo at the bar. Homemade pastas served al dente... the dessert was an amazing torta with chocolate, almonds and hints of orange zest. Overheard the waiter talk about how they own their own farm and grow their own citrus. Definitely a great place to try if you're in the city. And a nice walk towards North Beach.

One of the best pasta restaurant ever.

5/5 by Kai C. on 04/02/2022

We are from New York City. Everything we tried was delicious. Book ahead. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Staffs are super friendly.Prosciutto With Gnocco Fritto Gorgonzola & Lambrusco Onion, squid salad, Agnolotti Del Plin (small square pasta filled with rabbit meat and brown sauce), perfectly roasted quail on open fire. Don't forget to dive into the focaccia (crust is crunchy & heavenly seasoned). Didn't try their pizza :( since my wife and I already ordered lots. Love the eating experience.

Spectacular Italian fair, prepared exquisitely and always

5/5 by John L. on 04/02/2022

Spectacular Italian fair, prepared exquisitely and always served with a smile. Their dishes are unique and creative, while sticking with the classic Italian principles of fresh ingredients, simple combinations, and careful preparation. Our go-to Italian place in SF, no question!

🙂

Came here around 5pm.

4/5 by Eve P. on 03/29/2022

The hostess was super sweet even though we asked to move outside & they didn't have room. My phone had actually died & without asking they were considerate & charged it for me. However what seemed like the shift leader gave off a pretentious vibe & people were complaining about not being seated on time, we however did not have that issue.Not the most variety on the menu & smaller than I thought. Both the pasta & pizza were amazing so not a problem...Appetizer had a nice presentation but the entrees were better! Definitely not gluten friendly but hey it's an Italian restaurant.Also got the dessert meringue & it was VERY delicious. See photo.

😍

Finally went to Cotogna for dinner! We loved it.

5/5 by Emily M. on 03/25/2022

We ordered one item in every section. Absolutely a treasure. The waitstaff here is so knowledgable, friendly, etc - they love to chat. I've also been for lunch, which is more casual but still delicious and lovely.

🙂

Really re ally solid meal here.

4/5 by Jon H. on 03/17/2022

Focaccia - while this was delicious (and I love the Smokey flavor they imparted), it was not served hot, and no dipping oil or anything? Pastas were all delicious. The parapdelle was tops for the table - smooth and delightful sauce, nice hearty meat, perfect pasta. Can't beat a nice fancy, but reasonable Italian dinner in SF.

"Professional and friendly staff courteously transport you

5/5 by Fernando L. on 03/11/2022

"Professional and friendly staff courteously transport you to an Italian osteria where you will want to stay for at least 2 hours while enjoying well crafted, balanced, cocktails, wine, and authentic Roman and Northern Italian food. The owner should be proud."

Came in to celebrate a birthday (4 ppl).

3/5 by Jose M. on 03/04/2022

We had a reservation for outside but we asked to be seated inside and waited about 20 minutes for a table inside. Once we got inside, we were seated with placemats that wished her a happy birthday. We had two bottles of champagne and ordered a few apps. We had the beet burrata a la carte ($14) and the cauliflower. Both were full of flavor and good sharing portions. I am gluten free and I knew there was not much options but when I viewed the menu online, it said that there a duck confit. I was going to get it because there was limited options for me. But online it said menu subject to change so there was no real good entree for me to get. I got the chicken a la carte and it came out to $98 for a whole chicken. The chicken was juicy but completely charred. There was no flavor on the skin and all I tasted was the char. It needed seasoning and salt. I would not get the chicken. My friends got the gnocchi and it tasted like dough in a milk cream sauce. It needed a salty cheese and cracked pepper or just something to make it taste good. On the other hand, our desserts were very good. Service was very attentive and server was more than accommodating. The combo meal for two costed $140. It came in multiple courses. Had I known the total of the chicken and burrata would be $112 I would've just gotten the chicken for two to share with another to get a bang for my buck. The appetizers. drinks & desserts were good but the entrees lacked flavor for the price. I will not be returning here for mediocre food.

We had the most wonderful of experiences at Cotogna last

5/5 by Kamalini M. on 02/28/2022

We had the most wonderful of experiences at Cotogna last Friday. After trying very hard for very long, I managed a reservation for my husband's birthday (it's one of his fav places), and the whole afternoon spent in the sun didn't disappoint. Ever since Cotogna has had their beautiful pandemic set up outdoors, we've been there often, and always wished for a special occasion to sit and eat in these lovely sun-drenched booths, and Friday was perfect! About the food, the most special thing I felt is the lightness of touch they bring to all their dishes - the meats and meat sauces too - and I say this as one who has lived in Italy, and also known the horror that Italian food often is in the US. 1. The family meal of grilled meats was perfectly balanced, so that in spite of not being a particularly big meat-eater myself, I didn't feel overwhelmed at all. The beet and burrata salad, as well as the winter chicory salad with quince and crunchy almonds, were perfect accompaniments, with balanced freshness, acidity, and texture/crunch 2. My all time fav antipasto - the gnocchi fritti with prosciutto - was excellent 3. The pasta with rabbit ragú was done perfectly - I was apprehensive that it might end up being too meaty along with the family meal, but because it was delicate, it didn't feel too heavy at all.All in all, an afternoon and a meal we will remember with fondness for a long time.

😍

We loved celebrating my birthday here last night.

5/5 by Robin A. on 02/26/2022

The staff made us feel so welcome. The space is very cozy. The heaters and blankets keep you warm. The inside was filled with diners enjoying their meals. The whole space is spotless. The food is delicious. It's extremely hard to get a reservation. This is not one of those places you try for 2 weeks out. No, no, no! This is a 30 day planned event. It was SO GOOD!

🤢

I wanted to love this place.

2/5 by M R. on 02/26/2022

Between the unhelpful hostesses and the length of time to be served (even with a reservation) what started as a bad experience only continued. I can only think that the people who love this place aren't paying attention to the flaws--1. Empty seats but wouldn't seat us because we were 10 min early and it was cold outside. Finally seated 15 min after our reservation 2. Seated at "chefs table" (a bar in front of the grill). Chefs were consistently prepping great dishes except for the one that added new ingredients to an old container--Chipotle leaned from this, I guess when you have "stars" you forget? 3. Wine selection was good but pours are small. 4. Appetizers are large but main pastas are small so you don't quite know what to expect for other courses. One pasta was over cooked (gnocchi) one under cooked (agnolotti). 5. Ok gelato. The world has changed and so have expectations--they need to focus more on the food and less on the pretension. No one wants a reputation anymore, we want great chefs making great dishes.

🤮

Apparently they don't take walk ins during lunch even

1/5 by Michelle G. on 02/24/2022

Apparently they don't take walk ins during lunch even though the restaurant is empty. I clearly said all I wanted was to order one item but was refused a seat.

😒

I feel like this place was slightly over-hyped - it was

3/5 by Sabrina C. on 02/23/2022

I feel like this place was slightly over-hyped - it was okay, but because the menu changes so much, there's so much room for things to be great one time, and not good the next. My brother took me here to try this amazing chicken dish he had, but it was removed off the menu by then. The waiter suggested a different chicken dish, but it was super dry and not flavorful. The pesto pizza was VERY oily and had too many nuts for a pizza (in my opinion). The corn triangoli was not good either - it lacked flavor and the filling ratio was too small. The highlight was the ravioli di ricotta - this was like a brown butter ravioli and it was super delicious. I would go back once the menu completely changes again + for this last ravioli, but I feel like you never know what to expect!

😍

This is hands down my new favorite spot in SF.

5/5 by Yixuan L. on 02/21/2022

If you're a huge fan of italian food, you will absolutely love this place. From the ambiance to the service to the food, I enjoyed every minute of my evening at Cotogna. It was my bf's birthday and they printed out little place mats that said "happy birthday!!!" Such a sweet personalized touch for a special occasion. We did family style between three people so everyone could try out as many dishes as possible. We started with a salad (9/10) and the Cauliflower sformato (10/10). The salad was fresh and light, while the cauliflower sformato was creamy and savory. Then we got the brocolli de ciccio pizza (10/10), one of the best thin crust pizzas I've ever had. The ricotta ravioli was such a unique dish (10/10), must try on the menu according to the staff. We also had the Fusilli with confit tuna (8/10), it was smokey and a lighter pasta. Lastly we had the Agnolotti del plin which was hands down my favorite pasta (10/10). This was highly recommended across the board by friends and coworkers, it's now on my list of must try places in the city!!

😍

Absolutely incredible experience.

5/5 by Pres P. on 02/20/2022

One of the best italian restaurants Ive ever visited including Italy! If you are looking for Italian in SF then this is a must EAT!

We had a 4 pm reservation for 3 inside, but as the sun was

4/5 by B N. on 02/20/2022

We had a 4 pm reservation for 3 inside, but as the sun was shining we asked for outside instead. There were three or four empty tables, but they insisted they were all reserved within the next 45 minutes. So we reluctantly sat inside. Started with a round of cocktails, which were all off the charts tasty. Then had two salads which were both good. Next we had the pizza carbonara, which was the star of the meal and so rich and delicious! The mixed grill with beans and chard came next and were just okay at $145. The ravioli were very good. We ordered several glasses of wine and felt the pours were very short. Especially when the per glass price is $29. SMH. Of the 3 desserts we ordered, I only liked the honeycomb gelato. So while it was overall very good, the check was $500 which already included a tip of $79. I've never had the tip included unless in a party of 6 or more. During our meal and as we were leaving, we noticed there were about 9 empty outdoor tables, so they easily could have accommodated us.

Best Italian restaurant in SF

5/5 by Kiara on 02/16/2022

Cotogna is undoubtedly the best Italian restaurant in SF. Although I can not recommend the pasta section enough (try the Ravioli!!), every item on the menu is delicious. The staff is extremely friendly and you won't ever receive a 'no' for whatever request you might have. The restaurant manager is always on the floor, assuring a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is ideally located within walking distance from FiDi and is set up with beautiful romantic lights in the evening (beautiful if you sit outside). Its very often fully booked but usually you get a chance via walk in! Can only recommend!

Appointment Trader

😍 5/5 Review by AcceptableParcel20 (03/24/2022 9:35 am)

Wow! First time using this website/app. It was almost hard to believe the quality of customer service I received as soon as I posted my offer. A private chat forum with me and the person helping me find the best option. Constant communication and a wonderful experience using Appointment Trader. I'm surprised it took me this long to find AT but this will now be my GO TO for hard to get restaurant reservations. It was like having my own private concierge.

Miami Beach Hot Spot Success!

😍 5/5 Review by CosmicLinen30 (02/24/2022 11:59 am)

My first experience using AT was awesome and the AT support saved the day! When my booking transfer initiated two days earlier but didn't complete by the day of the reservation, AT was able to expedite the transfer and confirm a table at Call Me Gaby in Miami Beach. Boss confirmed an excellent experience when he arrived and no issues to report. Thanks, AT! I will definitely be back and thank you very much for your prompt assistance!

There was one restaurant we really wanted to visit in NYC and AppointmentTrader made that possible. Then when we had issues with the reservation transfer they were so quick to respond and fix the problem. We’ll definitely be using this again in the future.

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
