Best authentic Italian food around! The food is great, the service is amazing and to top it off the bathrooms are clean. The restaurant has a romantic/secluded feel in private booths.

Authentic Italian place and it’s rubes you vintage European vibes inside the restaurant. Food was good, we tried pesto ravioli and shrimp pasta with alfredo. Both of the dishes had right amount of spices, quantity of entree is adequate for one person. Bread was average, however...Read More

As a professional tour guide, I highly recommend Tommaso’s to anyone. It is one of the best Italian restaurants in the city and having the oldest wood fired brick oven in California, it is one of the most important restaurants historically as well. I have been...Read More

Family-owned treasure of a restaurant in San Francisco. My fam wanted Italian food for the holidays and this is our go-to place. We ordered a half super deluxe/half sausage and mushroom pizza, veg plate, and two clam pastas. All were to die for + we...Read More

Tomasso's was recommended by a couple of local police officers. When I said that I was looking for a good, local Italian place, they said I had to go to Tomasso's. This was absolutely and unequivocally the best lasagna I've ever had! There was an...Read More

Went to this place for a friend’s birthday celebration and it was amazing. We were a large party of 16-18 people and the owners were kind enough to accommodate such a large group (outdoor seating) as quickly as they could. We ordered a variety of...Read More

I dined here on February 1st around 8–9 PM with two friends, one visiting from out of state. I have never experienced such blatant disrespect at a restaurant—especially one that claims to offer “warm, family-focused Italian hospitality.” From the start, the service was unprofessional and unwelcoming....Read More

Finally a no frills Italian restaurant like you can get on the east coast! The Caesar salad was amazing. The penne vodka was so filling with a heaping amount of pancetta. They also had olive oil & vinegar at the table. Also loved their private...Read More

This is the most fantastic Italian restaurant ever on behalf of San Francisco. I liked the Margherita pizza the best and Tommaso's has been around since 1935.

I absolutely loved my experience at this restaurant. The food was incredibly delicious—authentic and comforting, just like a classic mom-and-pop spot. What truly stood out was how seriously they took my food allergies. They were exceptionally careful and attentive, which is something I rarely experience. Thank you...Read More

Great experience, great meal while visiting San Francisco. Ordered the special pizza (fennel-sausage) and special salad (delicious blend featuring cauliflower). Both were excellent. A great neighborhood eatery in North Shore.

While the pizza seems popular here, I have never tried it. Why you may ask? I can never bring myself to order anything except for their lasagna. The smooth, creamy layers béchamel feels like pure velvet in your mouth with a savoriness that only leaves...Read More

New owner, Mo and her staff have taken over this iconic NorthBeach Italian Restaurant and kept the tradition alive and the food and atmosphere are better than ever! Loved the Coco Clam appetizer, chicken parm and sausage pizza from the old brick oven!
