Best Italian Restaurants in South San Francisco

I always love going here! Both the Northbeach location and Westlake are run so efficiently! The service and the food is always excellent, though they did let me down today! I ordered the Chinese Chicken Salad and it was soggy and lackluster in flavor- I found gristle in a few of the chicken pieces. I have to say it’s the only thing I’ve ever had from Joes that was a disappointment . Perhaps they should consider taking it off the menu if they can’t execute it well?

Service, quality, flavor: all impeccable. The gardiniera was so perfectly balanced, fresh and interesting with celery, radish, and fennel. I knew it would be great, but was even better than that. My table mate who doesn’t generally care for anything pickled was blown away. The chicories were gorgeous, colorful, and delicious. The tagliatelle was absolutely stunning both texturally and depth of flavor. Tiramisu and chocolate budino are exquisite, truly. Save room for dessert. I loved the NA passion fruit cocktail and sparkling blanc de blanc. Such a treat to have something n thoughtful and delicious for folks who aren’t drinking. It’s a beautiful dining room. I sat on the banquet on the south wall and felt like I was under a spotlite. A little less overhead light intensity would take it from a 9 to a 10.

Andiamo in banca has become a part of our Christmas tradition for the past three years and each year we fall more and more in love with the place. This year in particular, the food was even better than it always has been. The staff is genuinely friendly and attentive. When you walk in you are greeted with a friendly smile and immediately made to feel comfortable. We are looking forward to next year already. Thank you for making our holiday so special and delicious

Parking is an issue. This is a “neighborhood” spot off of a busy Rl Camino Blvd in Millbrae. Food was ok not great. Very noisy and bustling if that’s your thing. Service was very good. Great pours of wine by the glass( equivalent of 2 normal glasses)

The server gave off an odd vibe. He had a bit of attitude at times, and seemed to be a bit frustrated even though he shouldn’t have been.
