Completely worth the steep walk up a hill. Highly recommend. So many options to choose from

Ray Ray

Great service, very little wait. Pizzas were good, and love their gluten-free pizza options. Even though it’s a chain, it’s a nice place and worth the Uber!

Gee Pii

Food was amazing, great service! We had gluten free gnocchi, steak and ossobuco.

Jay Tkachuk

A wonderful gem of a place in Little Italy. A family business, with the proprietors giving you a taste of real Italian humor should you give them an opening (try ordering a dry cappuccino, lol). It’s rather small and fills up fast, so plan for waiting if you’re heading there for dinner. Worth it, though. We had the Frutti de Mare Linguini (special), Lobster Ravioli and Funghi & Salsiccia pizza. They have gluten free options. Highly recommend!

Pedro Ventura

The pasta is completely homemade and there are gluten-free options. It's okay, it's okay. The lasagna is the best they have, I recommend it

Danielle

Me & my girlfriend had the loveliest dinner here. I found this place because they have gluten free pasta on the menu. They offer gluten free garlic fettuccine, which I appreciated so much because I cannot have gluten & have missed eating Italian food. I believe it is made in house. Our waiter was very personable & took my diet very seriously, even telling me what I can & cannot have. We had a caesar salad to start. I loved that they came to the table & freshly grated cheese & pepper. My scallops were cooked perfectly (it is so hard to find perfect scallops) & my girlfriend was impressed with her penne vodka & garlic fries. The only thing I would improve is my pasta was a little bit too al dente - probably needed another minute in the water because it was stiff. Otherwise my meal was amazing. Dessert was out of this world. We finished off with espresso & the chocolate raspberry mousse. I felt nostalgic & a bit emotional because I used to eat at restaurants like this all the time with my family, but have been unable to due to my unfortunate gluten free diet. The check came & I was surprised at how affordable it was. All in all a wonderful experience. Thank you Fino!

Love the Stinking rose, the food is always great, the service is top notch, and sitting on a busy San Francisco walkway soaking up the experience while feeding your face with garlic infused gluten is an experience all its own!

Anita Baranowski

Really good gluten free pizza (Crust is tasty and has good texture and thickness) some gf desserts too!

Ceboh Ndlovu

This place was great, the staff were attentive and kind. I ordered Seafood Fettuccine and it was amazing. My boyfriend is gluten free and he was catered for too!

Andrew Lutz

Highly recommend the halibut, shrimp, and crab, out of this world. One of the nicest restaurants I've ever been to. Beautiful views, right on the water. Complimentary valet service was excellent. Wait staff were kind and knowledgable; my fiancé can't have gluten or dairy and they expertly and carefully accomodated us. Will come again.

I had their 5-course tasting menu. I shared my dietary restrictions and that I am vegetarian beforehand. And Sorrel did an excellent job at adding delicious and creative alternatives and came up with a vegetarian menu for me, keeping dietary restrictions in mind. All the dishes were great but I particularly liked the one with root vegetables, risotto that was served with a bread with seeds/nuts since I cannot have gluten which I really enjoyed and the desert that I had very slowly because I did not want it get over :D Sorrel also offers zero proof pairings(non-alcoholic) which I decided to go for and was the best decision for this course - this provided more variety like tea, soup and some really interesting drinks which matched so well with the food that was served. Highly recommend this. I had a long day so I was very happy that I had dinner at Sorrel. It did take a while for some dishes to be served, there is no waiting area and have to wait outside until they are ready, it was really difficult to get through on call with the restaurant.

Mia Cudecki

Highly recommend for people with dietary restrictions. I had a gluten and dairy free pizza and it was great! It's also nice that they're open later than many places in the city.

Analicia Riegert

Great food. Tomato bisque was so flavorful and they had gluten free pasta that was fantastic. It didn’t break apart and had a nice form bite. A few of the staff were rude which I didn’t appreciate. It took me out of the wonderful mood I was in when we arrived. I’d definitely be back for take out but not going to dine in.

Samir Jain

Gluten free penne pasta

Brian Gerrity

Amazing spot. Great food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Excellent gluten free pizza and pasta as well.

Jinesh Jain

The drink "Fool me twice" was just something else!! Simply brilliant. And the gluten free pizza crust is delicious! Can't wait to come back!

Gina Leguria

Found this place from a search for gluten free pasta. Wow, what an amazing meal. My husband was impressed and he grew up on homemade Italian food. We have never found a restaurant that could rival his Mom’s cooking, but we Roma Antica is it! The special Risotto and Short Ribs was perfect and gluten free to boot. I enjoyed every bite of my Gnocchi with Sorrentina sauce (creamy tomato with cheese). Even the roasted Brussels sprouts were delish. Not to mention the mini rice balls, just like Nonna’s. We were stuffed and took the crime brûlée cheesecake to go. The staff was so friendly and chattering in Italian. It reminded us of the cafés in Europe. We can’t wait to return.

Gemma Boothroyd

Honestly, this is my favourite spot in SF. For starters, the humans are terrific. Warm, kind, hilarious, and genuine. The environment is buzzy and cozy— perfect for date night or dinner with la familia. And then, the food! We loved the kale salad, it was a light & refreshing start to the meal. I’m gluten free, and the pizza base was definitely one of the better ones I’ve had! Hot honey pizza is a must. We can’t wait to come back, and we’re so glad we found this gem!

Ivy Eatmon

Our food was incredible! Worth the wait but recommend making reservations in advance if you can. Nonetheless, they have incredible gluten free crust (nothing I’ve had before) my partner also had a white pie and he loved it. The atmosphere is great, music is at a perfect volume, servers are extremely friendly and our server Jessie was so sweet! The hostess (Samantha) was also very accommodating and extremely friendly! Highly recommend this place! Must try.

Laurie Ohara

Jose tha barman was fantastic and the gluten free pizza was outstanding. Perfect American/ Italian vibe. Bravo!

This place is a good option to eat italian food if you are around the Golden Gate bridge. They have gluten free pizza and lots of vegetarian options.

No pudimos encontrar mejor lugar para comer en el barrio italiano!! 😍😍 Nos sentamos en la terraza, que ya tenia bastante encanto. Al entrar me sorprendí por el tamaño pequeño del local y toda la decoración ambientada en Italia, donde no podían faltar estantes con comida de marcas italianas. Para mis sorpresa me encontré con una pasta SIN GLUTEN. Nos dieron un servicio 10, la señora que me atendió me explico que podían hacerme pasta SIN GLUTEN, además de las salsas que podía elegir. Soy celiaca, por lo que pregunté por la contaminación cruzada y me indicó que lo tenían en cuenta. Pedí espaguetis con salsa de pesto (me costó unos 24$, algo caro pero estaba muy bueno). Increíble!! Mis amigos pidieron pastas con diferentes salsas, todas buenísimas!! We couldn't find a better place to eat in the Italian neighborhood!! 😍😍 We sat on the terrace, which was already quite charming. Upon entering I was surprised by the small size of the place and all the decoration themed in Italy, where shelves with Italian brand food could not be missing. To my surprise I found a GLUTEN FREE pasta. They gave us a 10 service, the lady who served me explained that they could make me GLUTEN-FREE pasta, in addition to the sauces I could choose. I have celiac disease, so I asked about cross contamination and they told me that they took it into account. I ordered spaghetti with pesto sauce (It cost me $24, it was expensive but it was very good). Incredible!! My friends ordered pasta with different sauces, all delicious

Ordered gluten free crust Margarita Pizza. One of the most average Margarita Pizzas I had eaten

Tess Murphy

We hosted 30 people for my daughter's Baptism at Spiazzo's, it was truly perfect. Michelle was so lovey to coordinate with and went out of her way to make our guests feel welcomed and taken care of. We had guests with gluten intolerance and nut allergies and she was great and ensured they were eating nut and gluten free appetizers, main courses, and dessert. The staff were all friendly and engaging as well. And the food! Delicious!!! We had the calamari and bruschetta to start, then guests chose from pasta, chicken Milanese or salmon. Everyone raved about their meal. As a side note I mentioned I was bringing purple flowers because my daughter's name is Violet. Well I forgot them, but when we arrived Michelle had placed edible purple flowers in everyone's water glass. Such a beautiful touch and nod to my daughter. . Lastly the remodel they did 6 months ago is beautiful, it was the perfect venue for our luncheon. Will definitely be visiting again soon!

Jerry Taco

Food was really good. Some tasty options for gluten and dairy allergies. Just need to be a little bit flexible.

Jenna Ebert

Vittorio and his team are the best. We dined at their West Portal (SF) location after a recommendation from our planner. She mentioned that he was very reasonably priced and the food is delicious. She was right— we liked the food here so much and decided to have them cater our 105 person wedding! He even had us to the restaurant twice once just us and once with my parents to try the food! Vittorio is the nicest guy and super accommodating. He had vegan options for our guests and gluten free pasta. Not to mention, the food is so so good! My favorites include the lasagna and the fiochetti (iykyk!!). His staff is top notch and super friendly and nice. They manned the bars, served food, and ran back of the house prep. They also served meals to our other vendors. Overall, we loved working with them and know we will come back and visit the restaurant many times!! Thank you to Vittorio and his team for making our backyard wedding amazing !!!!! We highly recommend dining at their West Portal restaurant location and hiring them for all your event catering needs! 🤍🤍

AN AUTHENTIC ITALIAN RESTAURANT. I say for 3 reasons: 1. All the staff are Italian 2. A member of my dinner party lived in Italy for several years, is fluent in Italian who also has an Italian husband and she confirmed this place screamed proper Italian 3. It gave me massive nostalgia of my recent trip to Italy a few months ago. I came with a party of 7 for my girlfriend's birthday. The manager Andrea was there at the front door to welcome us and quickly made small talk with our Italian speaking party members. We were sat upstairs in a balcony type seating which gave us a full view of the dining room - absolutely beautiful. Our waiter Marco was attentive and knowledgeable about the whole menu. We had a child with celiac so he quickly told us everything that she could eat and she loved every bite of it! All of the appetizers were amazing especially the meatballs, we had to order a second round. We ate the calamari, salads, and burrata which tasted amazing. We ordered individual pasta entrees of different varieties. Each member of my party could not stop talking about how delicious it was - IT WAS PROPER AL DENTE. Drinks are so reasonably priced. A glass of wine is $10-$14 which is SOO cheap in my opinion but all the wine tasted amazing - the bottles all cost about $40-$50 which is very affordable. To further compliment Marco, it was a busy evening but he never forgot a single thing we ordered even down to the modifications in a single persons entree. Even if his other duties created a longer wait time for our requests he continually reassured us that he would take care of it which he did. Desserts were phenomenal and they were nice to us to comp a dessert for the birthday member. We had the Tiramisu, Red Velvet Cake, and the Panna Cotta. Each one tasted amazing and we continually ate them despite how full we all were. Andrea was also so kind to bring the celiac child (Born in Italy and also speaks Italian) some gelato as it was gluten free and she was so thankful!! Andrea also gave us some Limoncello which tasted delicious! As someone who works for a high-end restaurant in San Francisco, Bottega truly is one the best restaurants I have had the pleasure of visiting. This place is 20/10 and I WILL be back as soon as I can. This is a repost of my yelp review, I wanted to make sure it was on both google and yelp.

Lou Smith

Great Italian food! Gluten free options

Alys D

Love that they have dairy-free and gluten-free options available, in addition to traditional menu items. Excellent pizza. You haven't lived until you've tried their breadsticks w/ marinara sauce, too. Nice dining environment inside. The owners are great people.

Jyoti Yelagalawadi

Good food and very good service. They had gluten-free options and were very nice about all my special requests. My friends liked their Pulcinella Pizza. They replaced gluten-free pasta in the gnocchi dish for me and that was very nice. The best part was the cocktails.

Andrew Braden

This was the best gluten free crust I have ever had. Thanks

Julia Degreef

Delicious! I ordered gluten-free pasta and it was delicious. I recommend it!

Courtney Tai

Really great pasta and nice service. Kids eat free on Tuesdays! Super great deal for families with kids under 12. Also very inclusive dishes for gluten free allergies.

Lance Mintle

The food was very good. Excellent gluten-free bread. It seemed expensive for the size of the sandwich. I was expecting something 1.5-2 times larger given the price. We ate outside in one of the sidewalk booths. It was a bit cold and breezy, not sure if you can eat inside in the wine bar or not, so might want to watch the weather.

Rachel Heaton

I found that they were good for gluten free options for both breakfast and dinner. The service was great.

Anushka GVO

Recently discovered this family pizza restaurant and we loved the freshness of the ingredients and the warm service. We've only done take out. But still will come back whenever we want pizza bc their gluten free crust is the best and they have vegan cheese. Winner winner!

Ray Chaacon

Very good food, very fresh and natural, I am glad they have many options for customers such as gluten free pasta and vegetarian choices. I rate this a 5 star but I still suggest to have other protein choices in the menu for customers with gluten free allergies and have a dish with just more than pasta and sauce.

Stefan Meier

Gluten-free pizzas - but “only” available in small size. A waiting time until a space becomes available is to be expected. Inexpensive.

Wesley Yu

Limited menu but very delicious thin crust pizzeria. Ingredients seemed / tasted high quality. Service was Ok but there were only two of them and it was quite busy. It was my first time so I can't say I've tasted a decent portion of the menu. That being said, the meatball dish and all the pizzas we're good. They have a gluten free option for the pie crusts.

Glenn Bolton

6 of us were looking for a place with gluten-free options, and Uva came up on the search. We called and were able to get a table right away. The food was lovingly prepared, and everyone's meal was delicious. The appetizers, salads, and entrees were outstanding. A very nice wine selection. Even though we were filled from dinner, we had the sour cherry tart and espresso for dessert. I highly recommend!

Gabrielle Bates

I'm so glad they are still around. One of my all time favorite places. I no longer eat gluten but I still insist on taking my friends here for delicious pasta. The hand drawn menu is one of the little things that make Emmy's one - of-a-kind.

Vladimir Kostyukov

They said farro dish was gluten free but it wasn’t. Farro is literally wheat (gluten). It’s very scary and I realized this too late. With this price tag I’d expect them to take better care of allergens and simply know what’s off limits for folks with certain food allergies.

Danielle Deibler

I've lived here for over 10 years and clearly there are still neighborhood gems to be discovered. It's tough to find awesome gluten free Italian options and this place delivers. Decent wine list, great service, easy parking, and delicious food.

David Miro Llopis

Very nice pinsas, but no gluten free options unfortunately.

Kathy Martin

Deadly pizza , gluten free

L S

Had an amazing experience at this restaurant! All of the staff were welcoming, friendly and most importantly we came for a gluten free meal and were shown so much care. Our meals were delicious (both gf and regular pasta dishes). Ambience was great. A lovely place I hope to return to!

Der Rest des Abends noch M.Richter

Quaint shop with friendly staff. Had a pizza $21 / spaghetti bolognese $20 and drinks. Were good. Pellgrino Selter 0.25 for $6 a little steep. What was good was that there was also gluten-free food.

Dea Poirier

Absolutely wonderful meal. Service was phenomenal and so friendly. Food was very good as well and priced reasonably. Very accommodating of food allergies. Was able to order dairy and gluten free with no issues.
