Spiazzo,

33 West Portal Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94127

"The service was great and I loved that he knew the menu up and down and was able to help us make a decision based on asking us questions. The food was just as good as the service. My mom had the salmon in a lemon sauce and she said that it was the best salmon she had ever had. I had the flank steak and it was cooked perfectly. The veggies are flavorful and not over cooked, and the mashed potatoes were fluffy and flavorful. I hadn't been here since before COVID and I forgot how good Spiazzo is. You can't beat this place even at a much higher price point."

"The food is always seasoned to perfection, with the sides (sauteed spinach and sauteed mixed veggies) nicely complimenting the main entree. The bread is always delicately tasty. Not shown: Insalata Mista. You can't go wrong dining in or ordering takeout. Spiazzo is one of my fave places to dine and well worth the money spent!"

"The host started the experience out with a friendly interaction. We really liked the host. It was also a beautiful day out and we were excited to enjoy some Italian cuisine. Now the review sadly is all negative. I ordered what was the worst and most gummy Chicken Parmesan I’ve ever had. The sauce was somewhere between the liquid from a canned of crushed tomatoes and ketchup. It was particularly sad as I haven’t had a Chicken Parmesan in awhile and I was so excited. The veggies that came with the dish were either over cooked or undercooked. All a bummer. The rosé my partner ordered was a house rosé that she said tasted like boxed wine reminiscent to her Franzia college days. She ordered spaghetti vongole and while the clams were well cleaned and cooked they didn’t taste fresh and the pasta itself had no flavor. She only ate two clams with the second one being to confirm that something wasn’t right with the first one. Left a good tip because the service was good, but the food was awful. Even the bread was stale. We will not return. We did let them know about the food, and they offered to give us more bad food. Update: my partner ended up being sick. So that’s a positive on the clams not being quite right."

"Great service and very good food. Noise level is high so beware if you're looking for something more relaxed and quiet. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality and quantity of food provided, making this place a great value if you're on a budget. There is no children's menu, but do you really need one? Pizza and pasta! We'll be back."
