    Amazed that a SF restaurant is so busy on a Tuesday night! Our server was very friendly and efficient. All the staff works well together. Good selection in all the menu categories. Everything was served hot. Fresh pastas especially good. We reserved to celebrate 2 birthdays. Received a nice card at the table. We will return again.

    Great spot for a date night. Intimate, great ambiance, and food is great. staff is nice but can be a bit slow, probably due a limited kitchen rather than their attentiveness

    Our server was delightful but the food was a real disappointment. There were 4 of us and only 1 person enjoyed his meal. The rest of us described our dishes as “bland,” “skimpy” and “boring.” $40’ for a bland plate of risotto just isn’t worth it This is our second time here and the previous visit was great. Not sure if it was an off night or a change in chefs, but we wouldn’t go back.

    Hello Craig, Thank you for your honest review and I am extremely sorry that on your 2nd visit the value proposition was just not there. We really value your feedback and I have brought this review to the attention of our culinary team. I would be interested to find out exactly what dishes you felt were not of a solid value other than the risotto. I would love to engage you in conversation so that I can address these issues and invite you back to La Connessa with full confidence that we take hospitality extremely seriously and we know how to take a negative situation and turn it into a lasting positive relationship. I hope to hear from you soon. Warmest regards, Andrew Fuentes General Manager
