Piccolo Forno 725 Columbus Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94133

"The food is delicious, good portions too. The staff were super nice and helpful. I recommend asking for their suggestions if you are not sure. I had the Ravioli Al Funghi, and I loved it. Their specials were quite good too. Also, maybe don't order Alfredo :D I think it is too authentic of a place to order Alfredo. One of us tried to order and they suggested another dish which worked great at the end. Overall, a pleasant experience. Definitely recommended."

"Piccolo is phenomenal in every regard. Let's start fromm the food. Fresh ingredients put together in a straight-forward way but there's an elegance to it. It's not just a thoughtless amalgamation and mixture. The ceasar salad is poised and structured. The burrata isn't shy but welcoming. The pizzas were near perfect and hearty. Both the spicy pepperoni and the funghi had their own character, to a degre where one can't imagine they were baked from the same shop. Oh, and the pastas... ravioli with butternut squash was magically elegant while the spaghetti was simply great. Now you take this caliber of food in downtown SF, you think potentially you're paying a fortune for it. Well, this is where Picoolo earns its 5 stars. Reasonable pricing without coming across snooty, yet it definitely has class. The atmosphere is definitely the lowest aspect, not because it isn't welcoming, etc but just a bit of a potpourri of various elements - a pizzeria, comfort food, open kitchen, etc. All in all, this place provides a phenomenal experience and a great night out. Absolutely will return."

"I am SO happy we found this place. This is one of the best casual Italian restaurants that I have tried in the US. I know that’s a big statement but I mean it. The food was really delicious. The server was Italian and it made me feel like I was in Italy. 100% recommended. If you want some authentic Italian pasta, this place won’t disappoint you. The portions are also very big and the price is reasonable based on the quality and portions. Will definitely come back!"

"Fantastic food and even more fantastic people! It really felt like we were eating at a trattoria in Italy where we’d known the owners for years! Definitely stop here for lunch or dinner! I highly recommend the arugula salad and butternut squash ravioli! My husband had the carbonara and enjoyed it!"

"Delicious Italian restaurant in the heart of North Beach. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food is absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were very generous and the prices were all reasonable. Coming from the NY/NJ area my standards are quite high for for good Italian food, and this place certainly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Veal Saltimbocca as an entree."
