Honestly, I'm surprised at how many good reviews there are
Honestly, I'm surprised at how many good reviews there are for this place. It is a very vibey environment and the staff were super kind, but the food did not live up to the hype. The salad was probably the best thing on the menu, and I didn't even come for the salad. The pizzas and pastas had no flavor. With the amount of great Italian restaurants in the city, this would be at the bottom of my list. Perhaps the breakfast is better (hence the reviews).
Be the first to ReplyThis is my favorite spot in SF for a date night with my son.
He loves Italian food, appreciates good EVOO and amazing woodfired pizza. The decor is modern/fresh classic and tasteful city vibes. I particularly like the Funghi pizza and the linguini with fresh crab.
Be the first to ReplyHad a great meal here.
Brussel sprouts were an amazing appetizer, pizza was good, my pasta stuffed with short ribs was incredible, other pasta dishes were good as well. Atmosphere nice, service excellent. A bit pricey though, bill was over $400 for 5 of us for dinner and a round of drinks for everyone.
Be the first to ReplyOrdered a fungi pizza as per recommendation to go.
They gave me the wrong pizza, would've been fine if the pizza they gave me was anything but thier cheapest strong plain cheese bread. I'd pref Pizza Hut over that one tbh. (Never order the pizza Bianca) I had to run for a warriors game so I just asked the guy dealing with me to refund me half of the pizza. Haven't received money back was still charged $18 bucks when the pizza I was forced to throw costs $21.... Tbh giving someone your most basic pizza getting it wrong and for the inconvenience it caused me i feel like it's normal to just refund the whole pizza at that point. You guys messed up, i got your worst pizza and had to throw it. Went hungry to the game. To not even refund 50% correctly or charge me for the initial higher costing pizza when that's not what I got ... that's hella messed up.

Truly amazing food. Prices are reasonable. Very good cocktails and the atmosphere is really really cute! Will definitely be back for brunch!
Be the first to ReplyThis might have been my favorite meal i've had in the 7
This might have been my favorite meal i've had in the 7 years i've lived in San Francisco. The Duck Confit Papardelle was the best dish i've ever had, hands down. NOTE: We went in Feb 2024 so if the menu is seasonal, go in February at least once in your life for this dish. My boyfriend had the Lemon Linguini and it was like an upgraded cacio e pepe (he added the crab which i recommend you do) and it was heavenly. I think I also had my absolute favorite dessert i've ever had...the lemon pudding cake. WOWOWOWOW. It melted in my mouth. I don't drool over desserts at restaurants, but this had me speechless. The portions were perfect, the atmosphere was amazing, and the service was impeccable. 11/10. Chefs kiss.

One of my fav Italian restaurants in the city, fresh pasta with seasonal ingredients. Menu very consistent and the service is very friendly. A hidden gem in dog patch district. If you are an Italian food you must try!
Be the first to ReplyQuaint little place in the Dogpatch.
Atmosphere is very nice. Menu is not kid-friendly. Waiter was friendly. Disappointed that the lunch menu is so limited. Would like to see more vegan/vegetarian options. Portions are small. There are no vegan options from the 5 appetizers or 4 entrees. The fungi pizza was ok... just basic. FYI, a 6% fee is added to the bill- doesn't say what this fee is for. Nice place for coffee and dessert. Would look somewhere else for a good salad and pasta primavera though.
Be the first to ReplyI never ever write reviews, no matter how bad the place,
I never ever write reviews, no matter how bad the place, food or service is. But Piccino can be proud - they pushed me to write a review, and not a good one. I went there for lunch with colleagues, to try this famous and raved-about place. Seeing all those beautiful pizzas in people's reviews, I ordered persimmon pizza, expecting adventurous flavors and juicy slices of persimmon fruit mimicking pepperoni. I got a circle of flatbread with cheese and little black plops/"poops" of shredded and sloppy-soft radicchio. Total disappointment. No persimmon in sight. I asked the waiter and was told that the orange drizzle is "persimmon pure". The pizza was bitter (radicchio) and boring. I was thinking maybe it was me, but my colleagues tried my pizza and bluntly said that it was gross and disgusting. I must admit that it was the worst pizza I had in my life. And I did have my share of pizzas around the world with toppings ranging from egg, through beetroot, to octopus. Anchovies are "tame" (and delicious) on that list. And the price of $25 + 20% tip makes this pizza even worse. It is embarrassing to compare, but for 1/3 of this price I can get much better tasting and 4 times bigger pizza at 7 eleven. So I am not going back to Piccino ever again, alone or with guests, and will never suggest it to anyone. This pizza and its bitter aftertaste (not only because of radicchio) will stay with me forever.

The french toast was the best! Incredibly fresh bread with a seasonal compote, paired with an oat milk latte. My favorite kind of brunch. The menu had a great variety and the portions were just the right amount. The space had huge windows, great natural light, and comfortable seating. It was the perfect spot for a girls brunch. They also had a covered outdoor seating area. We were in the restaurant space but right next door is a separate space to grab coffee or a bakery item to go.
Be the first to ReplyCutest neighborhood restaurant.
Sitting at the chef's counter is an awesome experience - I just wish the chairs had backs! It was a total bummer to be sitting on an uncomfy stool that long and detracted from my experience. As for the food, foccacia was great, chicories salad was lovely. Pasta portion size seems inconsistent. Mine in particular was very small, somehow left not full at all? Flavors were great however. Service was perfect no complaints there.
Be the first to ReplyCreative delicious Italian cuisine that melts in your mouth.
I've been fortunate to visit here a few times living in the city and I'm pretty sure I've had to make a reservation for each visit. Definitely a great restaurant for a first date or for date nights with friends or loved ones. My most memorable dish is their beef and pork polpette, I can definitely lick off the plate clean with their homemade tomato sauce they're presented in and wouldn't mind an extra side of it! We've also ordered the funghi and margarita pizza and a must try!
Be the first to ReplyFind Amazing exotic and authentic pizza flavors in the city
Find Amazing exotic and authentic pizza flavors in the city here. I realized they keep changing the pizza options on the menu - more reasons to go there again. We ordered the classic margherita pizza and Bianca - both were delicious, especially the pizza Bianca which was really appreciated among the group. I also enjoyed it despite the cheesiness. We also ordered a pizza which had squash and kale in it (which I don't see in the online menu) and it was my favorite. It offered a great balance of sweetness and tanginess - somehow it also made me feel like I was making a healthier choice lol. I would definitely recommend checking out this place - we had to make a reservation online because they are usually very busy on the weekends. They also seem to have an outdoor seating area which looked nice. The location is great and offers a chance to explore the dogpatch neighborhood after stuffing in those yummy totally worth-it calories.
Be the first to ReplyThis is our favorite neighborhood restaurant! If you live
This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant! If you live in the Dogpatch then you can't miss the iconic yellow exterior of Piccino. They have the best Italian food in the city IMO and we love coming to this spot for a date night or to grab a pizza and Aperol Spritz. It's good for any occasion. It's so good that we're going to be doing our rehearsal dinner here! I would definitely recommend making reservations especially on the weekends. They also have lovely outdoor seating and whenever we bring our dog, the staff immediately bring out a water bowl for him and bring him a treat. There's plenty of street parking nearby and it's in a really nice neighborhood. If you come here, definitely get the chiocciole pasta, the funghi pizza, the burrata, the foccacia bread and the meatballs!
Be the first to ReplyI found this place by searching family friendly dining as I
I found this place by searching family friendly dining as I was visiting from out of town and had my mom, fiancé, and baby with me. It's hard to find places in the city that can accommodate a stroller and baby. Anyway, I found this place nearby the UCSF hospital so we decided to try. When I arrived, I was awkwardly greeted by the host who was pushing unreserved guests away by saying they needed reservations. He was going to do the same to me until a gentlemen came up and told him he had an open table. The odd thing about it was that there were literally 4 tables full and the rest were empty as well as the outside tables that were completely empty. I thought to myself wow this place must be awesome! Even though I wished we were greeted better. Once seated we were placed at on outside table with no awning over us, and next to an exposed propane tank heater. I put my baby in the stroller next to the heater since it was cold. We asked to be seated at the tables with the awning because they had electric heaters overhead, but we were told they all had reservations within the next 30 minutes. Someone came out to light up the propane heater and didn't know how, so the propane was leaking and it scared me to have my baby near it so I had to move her away. The waiter came and had to explain the menu to my mother because it's not outlined in the description what these items were like. They only had one salad which was called the chiccori salad, I asked if we could get just spaghetti and meatballs and was told no. I asked to get a pizza with no mushrooms and was told no. We were there for much longer than 30 mins and those tables we were denied were never full. I asked to get a soda with my meal and was told no! We ended up ordering the margherita pizza, the Brussels sprouts , two salads, pasta dish, and we got the zepoli dessert. All of the food was highly disappointing. The salad was disgusting and the pizza was plain and tasted like frozen pizza. The pasta tasted like hamburger helper. The best thing we had were the Brussels sprouts. Much to my dismay, the zepoli was disappointing too. The real kicker is I needed to change my baby and all three bathrooms had no changing table! I was so upset. I spent over $100 and I am disappointed is an understatement.
Be the first to ReplyJust amazing! Made a reservation for my husband's birthday
Just amazing! Made a reservation for my husband's birthday for 6 people and the food was so fresh and delicious! You can tell the pasta is freshly made there. highly recommend and I will definitely come back!Employees were very friendly and the ambiance was just right.

We recently bought a condo in the Portero Hill area of San Francisco. A new neighbor highly recommended Piccino's and specifically their meatballs. We checked it out, and they were right. They were exceptional. We did not have a reservation, and they worked us in even though they were busy. Don't miss the pasticcio pizza and the margarita pizza. We are glad they did, and we will be back.
Be the first to ReplyThis is really a 3.
5 rounded down due to the inconsistency in portion sizes. We ordered the beet salad, focaccia, the crab pasta, the pesto pasta, and the chicken. Once the pastas arrived, we finished the dishes in about 4 bites. Upon which, we glanced over at the table next to us who ordered the same dishes but had almost double the portion size! We definitely felt a little cheated and disappointed.Nonetheless, the quality was very good and we enjoyed the desserts as well. Beware the small portion sizes and skip the pasta.
Be the first to Replybut the food is world class.
we dine here often and are never disappointed. the menu changes with the seasons. the wine list is excellent. the service is efficient, and yet gracious.
Be the first to ReplyWent here for a late brunch.
Made a reservation and only had to wait a couple of minutes before being seated. Service was great - my party was brought water quickly and had no issues with placing our order. Food came out quicker than I expected as well. The brunch items seemed well priced at first ($20s for most main items), but when my duck ragu came out, it was smaller than I expected. It was tasty but pretty homogeneous in flavor. I would probably order something else. The French toast was a lot bigger than the duck ragu but wasn't anything too special. It met expectations but is comparable to other brunch places.
Be the first to ReplyI asked some friends where we could get a nice birthday
I asked some friends where we could get a nice birthday dinner that would be kid-friendly, have an outdoor option, and have easy parking. I had forgotten about Piccino but the moment it was suggested, I knew it was the right spot for us!I made our reservation via email a couple weeks in advance for a group of 8. Normally, groups of 7 and above are required to do a $75pp prix fixe menu, but they waived that for us since we were 4 adults and 4 toddlers, allowing us to order a la carte.Some outdoor seats were partially covered, some were sitting in direct sunlight. We were happy to have a partially covered table!The service was warm and friendly. There weren't a lot of kids around but no one minded our toddlers running about.* Burrata - 5 starsFantastic texture and flavor.* Rainbow carrots - 3.5 starsFresh and tasty but not very filling.* Petite greens - 2.5 starsThis was very basic - lettuce with a nice light vinaigrette. Not worth $15.* Strozzapreti - 3.5 starsA little lacking in flavor, though my friend was excited to find a dish with ramp, which is in season only 1 month out of the year. The pasta, of course, was perfect in texture.* Chiocciole - 4.5 starsLovely pasta, flavorful sauce, love the crunchy bits for extra texture. General consensus to be best pasta dish at the table.* Margherita - 3.5 starsThe cheese was a little too rubbery, tomato sauce a bit watery, crust a little soggy.* Cheesecake - 4.5 starsDelish, soft yet dense, perfect blueberry compote* Chocolate mousse - 4 starsLovely, was that olive oil for a contrasting savory flavor? Very tasty.
Be the first to ReplyPiccino, which means "teeny" in Italian, is not small on
Piccino, which means "teeny" in Italian, is not small on taste despite its name. Located in Dogpatch, we had dinner here since we were going to see a show at Chase Center and this was within walking distance. First things first, I tried their Aperol Spritz ($14). Very refreshing and on the sweeter side, it was the first time I had one so I didn't have a point of reference! I could see drinking these on the veranda overlooking the Mediterranean on a warm day. For dinner, I started with the burrata ($24) which at the time I believe came with asparagus. For me, this was one of my favorite dishes on the menu. I'm quite partial to burrata despite limiting any dairy intake. This could easily be eaten with a side of crostini as well. I also ordered the Strozzapreti pasta ($22) - a type of elongated twisted pasta. It came with a green garlic pesto, hazelnuts and buona salute cheese. I found this to be an acquired taste, very green and not a ton of depth to it. Shared the funghi pizza ($24) which came with roasted mushrooms, stracchino (Italian cow's-milk cheese), garlic and parsley. It was tasty and the crust had a lovely consistency to it. (Eating this crust with burrata was a mouthgasm.)The service was hit or miss. Our waiter was not tuned into our table and missed out on us ordering more drinks! Would I return? Possibly. I noticed that they offer corkage service which a lot of people took advantage of. With their bottles reaching into the $300 price range, I can see why.
Be the first to ReplyTop notch pastas at Piccino.
We had polenta, for appetizers some pastas to share and roasted chicken.-Antipastas and pastas are amazing nothing to complain. Al dente and creamy. - polenta was great it wasn't completely traditional it gives it a twist which I love-chicken , I would say it's not the focus and of course not as great as their pasta -overall great experience , one of the best pasta in town !!
Be the first to ReplyGreat ambiance but the food was mediocre.
Street Parking only. Good spot for pre-game/show at the Chase Center
Be the first to ReplyMy wife and I dined there today for lunch with another
My wife and I dined there today for lunch with another couple. It was the first time we had eaten there in about five years. I checked the menu online in advance to see if they offered any gluten free dishes, but none were shown. So I phoned and never was able to actually speak to anyone as they force you to leave a voice message. We appreciated being seated outside in a nice sheltered place. I inquired whether there were any gluten free substitutes for the wheat based pasta and was told no. Overall our experience was marred by an incompetent server who was poorly trained in customer service and spoke minimal English. Due to my food allergies involving gluten I tried to order a salad with protein and other gluten free additives. I was able to have anchovies added to the salad from the pizza menu but the chef was unwilling to add other pizza ingredients to my salad to make for a more complete lunch. The food itself was fine but overpriced. When my wife asked for more iced tea, the waiter brought a new glass of iced tea, which surprised us, and we discovered later that we were charged another $5 for a new iced tea! We had previously requested separate checks for our two couples and the waiter didn't seem to comprehend what we were requesting. So when it came time to settle our bill, the waiter had to ask us to tell us what we had ordered, then he went in and presented us with the two bills. We gave him our two credit cards, and when he returned the charge slip showed suggested tips of 20%, 22%, and 25% or some other $ amount, which seemed pretty presumptuous since a 20% tip is usually reserved for excellent service, which we did not experience. Overall, the lunch was a pleasant experience for our two couples, but the limited menu options and excessive prices and poor service will not prompt us to return any time in the future.
