Fino, San Francisco CA

What an understated, gem of a restaurant that served us some of the best Italian food we’ve had in the city. The whole experience was world-class — food rich and delicious, attentiveness and personality from our server, great energy full of locals. This place should’ve been booked out for weeks in advance, but we were able to walk in. Can’t recommend enough!

My experience at the Fino restaurant was simply exceptional. From the moment we walked through the door, the kindness and willingness of the employees made us feel welcome in this cozy place. The customer service was remarkable, setting the tone for a pleasant evening.

The culinary offer did not disappoint at all. The food was not only delicious, but also presented with a touch of sophistication. The generous portions added an extra touch of satisfaction, making sure that we retired with happy palates. Although the carpaccio was perhaps a little simple compared to the rest of the options, the overall quality of the food exceeded our expectations.

What really stood out was the speed of service. Despite the fact that the place was occupied, the attention to our table was efficient and without unnecessary delays. This contributed significantly to a fluid and pleasant gastronomic experience.

To end the night in an unforgettable way, at the end of our dinner, we were given hats to celebrate the end of the year. This gesture was a charming touch that added a festive and personalized touch to our visit.

In short, Fino not only gave us a delicious gastronomic experience, but also an exceptional service that left a lasting impression. Without a doubt, we will return to enjoy more unforgettable moments in this wonderful establishment.

The restaurant is nice with a comfortable waiting area for people who made reservations. The staff is nice and friendly. We got a fruit punch which was pretty good and I recommend it. The food wasn’t bad but it was not delicious either. It was ok. Something to be aware is that they have a spaghetti carbonara which is not really a carbonara.

The food wasn’t bad but it was not delicious either. It was ok. Something to be aware is that they have a spaghetti carbonara which is not really a carbonara. It does not have eggs and it has onions and paper. Although we did not like it, we did not pay enough attention to the menu that says these items are included. They don’t make online reservations, so you need to call them.

Best Italian restaurant. Everything is fresh, made to order and with wonderful staff. A must experience in San Francisco!

Our server Charles was AMAZING! He was very attentive, helpful and made us feel welcomed. Coming out of state, he also recommended different hot spots to check out in SF. Also, the other servers/ cooks/ chefs were all super friendly and made us laugh! The food was delightful. If you ever go here please ask for Charles you won’t be disappointed!

Our visit to Fino for our second anniversary was an unforgettable dining experience, marked by exceptional service and culinary excellence. From the moment we walked in, the quality of service set the tone for a wonderful evening. The staff, especially our waiter, provided impeccable service, with recommendations that enhanced our dining experience.

The highlight of Fino is undoubtedly its pasta. Learning that all their pasta is made in-house heightened our anticipation, and rightly so. Each pasta dish we tried was a revelation – fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. It’s clear that Fino takes great pride in their craftsmanship, and it shows in every bite. The wine list at Fino is another aspect that deserves high praise. The ambiance of Fino strikes a balance between understated elegance and a cozy intimacy, although it can feel a bit cramped. This, however, does little to detract from the overall experience, as the quality of the food and service more than makes up for it. Fino is an ideal spot for a romantic date night or a special occasion.

Excellent service and exceptional food. My wife ordered the special with salmon and I had the Lombata di vitello, both were excellent.

The minestrone soup was delicious. Ceasar salad nice but the scallops were the best I have ever had!

Superb quality of service. Our waiter made perfect recommendations throughout the meal. Each dish was prepared well. They offered an excellent wine list.

So delicious, quality ingredients and an intimate italian setting that felt cozy and welcoming. Absolutely loved it!

Great daily special, grilled fish, mushrooms, asparagus over ravioli with a white wine cream sauce. Was great for a solo business traveler.

I don’t have enough words to express my feelings after visiting this place.

From the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out.

Our amazing server name was Charles and he made it even more special - service like at the finest restaurant. The place was packed at 8pm on Monday night - that was a good sign!

Food and beverages were sooo flavorful! We have Brussels sprouts, pasta and tortellini finished by a lava cake. Everything that other tables were getting (yes I was peeking) looked so good and people were nearly licking plates. Good sign!

This place is a true hidden gem! Highly recommend and would definitely come back!

Literally one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I’m in town for work and I’m legit considering going back for dinner again tonight - it was that good.
