Two star Michelin been on my list for a while. Finally tried it. They also have a vegetarian menu which was creative and artistic. The food was good..well done traditional food. It reminded me of Gary Dankos but a fancier version. The service was great. The timing and the delivery was like a practice of art. I will say the experience definitely caters to the more refined experienced palate. All in all a good experience. My favorite was the foie gras truffle pasta. Make sure you dress classy bc you that's def part of the experience I would say. Glad I tried it.

I came here to celebrate my best friend's birthday. The attentiveness of the staff made us feel so warm and welcomed. The tasting menu was phenomenal. There was an option to add the caviar service but we opted not to. We started off with a sparkling rose and it was delicious. We had some surprise dishes that weren't on the menu. The tasting menu is extensive and we left feeling really full. The wine list is ridiculous and impressive. We didn't do the wine pairing but we had two glasses of wine and the sommelier was very helpful in helping us decide what wine to get. The dining room is carpeted and has a classic look. The bathroom is WOW. I can't wait to go back again. Truly a wonderful experience!

Everything from planning this private dining experience with Isabella to last minute changes and the actual dinner was exceptional. Isabella was easy to work with and made my last minute event so wonderful! Service here was top notch - I think they had a server for each person that was seated. We ordered the 5 course dinner with wine pairing. Dishes here were slightly sweet for me, but paired nicely with all the wine. My favorite dish was the lobster panzerotti. I used the bread to soak up all the rich broth. I didn't think I would like the peaches and cream dessert, but it blew me away with presentation and taste. Will definitely need to find another reason to plan an event here!

Not my cup of tea but good food. It's actually pretty good value for Michelin 2 star. The dishes feel pretty traditional, both from an ingredient perspective, and also from the preparation. I thought the faux foie gras was pretty interesting but I don't like heavy carbs or sweets so it wasn't my fav. The service was top notch and the ambience is very old school cool.

One of the oldest restaurant in sf. This place is a must try if you're Italian food lover. The experience and food was impeccable! The restaurant had been around since 1989. So you might find this place a bit old but very classic. We arrived at the restaurant on time of reservation and the service people actually come outside to greet and escort us into the restaurant. What a hospitality from 2 Michelin stars. We came here for a prix fixe course of 4 dishes of your choice including appetizer, pasta, main and dessert. I think it's a great deal to try their food at a lower cost. We went altogether 4 peoples , so we got to try pretty much all the food on the menu. And they actually give you a small bites before start the course also. Which is very delightful. Gotta say that my favorite dish of the appetizer was the carpaccio and the raw fish. Both of them are really delicious. Speechless for their pasta Omg!!! So good!!! The famous faux fois gras and black truffle, creamy and rich with al dente texture of the pasta. The lobster ravioli is to die for ( off the menu ) but must try. The main are really tasty the duck and the wagyu beef ( supplement course ) succulents pieces of beef and duck! The dessert that we got to try all of it and my favorite one was the blueberry and lemon cream. But the chocolate one also really nice if you're a fan of chocolate. Love it that at the end you get to choose all small treats that they have. Really really impressed with their art work and effort to the food. Thank you to acquerello team and chef Seth . I had a great experience and wonderful time.

Having dined here 3 times - all have been truly exceptional. Most recent was 8/2023 (pictures shown). We love coming here and the dining room is luxurious. We've been fortunate to sit at three different tables, getting the full view and experience of the room. The Chef and staff are consistently providing excellence. A well deserved two star. This is one of the best in the Bay Area and we will return.

Came here for a birthday! The staff did a great job making me feel special - personalized custom menu, birthday treat, special napkins etc. The food course was awesome! Left feeling full and satisfied. Really impressed with the amount of truffle dishes and the amount within each dish. They didn't hold back. Real standouts were the dessert! Decor of the place is inviting, upscale, and intimate!

TLDR: A 2 Michelin star restaurant with impeccable service. The food was also delicious of course, and they're very accommodating of dietary needs. It was so wonderful to celebrate my birthday here, and as someone with a big sweet tooth, the 5 dessert courses at the end were the cherry on top of the experience! ------ FOOD: * Divine! We tried the seasonal tasting menu and the northern Italian flavors really came out in multiple dishes. Expect a lot of acidity and actually quite a good amount of meat and seafood The MUST TRYs if given the choice: 1. Butter poached Maine lobster (insanely buttery and fresh) 2. Wolfe Ranch quail (quail was excellent and the chestnut mousse was such a treat) 3. Lychee Sorbet (sorbets don't usually excite me but this lychee twist with pineapple was the most refreshing way to start the dessert courses) If you also have a sweet tooth, here are the 5 dessert courses I was talking about: 1. Lychee Sorbet 2. Burnt honey cake (this actually was not my favorite flavor-wise or texturally) 3. A raspberry meringue tart (a special birthday dessert that was to die for but on the sweeter side) 4. A dessert cart to choose 3-4 treats from (the cake pop and the black sesame desserts were my favorite here) 5. Take-home biscotti to have with breakfast the next morning (or for dessert at home the same night!) ------ SERVICE: * Impeccable service, the way it should be at restaurants of this caliber * My BF is lower carb so we were actually able to request swaps for the pasta dishes. They surprised us the day of with the swaps and they included innovative alternatives such as cuttlefish "pasta". They were very accommodating * Sommelier was knowledgeable and gave wonderful recommendations ------ ENVIRONMENT: * The restaurant is in a converted church building and the main dining room features really unique vaulted ceilings reflecting this fact * When you walk up to the restaurant, here's someone there waiting to open the doors for you and escort you inside * They have an expansive wine cellar inside that you can peer into while you wait to get seated * Located right off Polk Street

I came here with my husband to celebrate our anniversary. 2 Michelin stars! We opted in for the 4-course prix fixe tasting menu. Before going to the restaurant, we learn that there is a dress code. We had to wait about 5-10 minutes before they led us to our table. We were seated, and there was even a nice cushioned stool for my purse. Nice touch, so I can access my stuff easily. This Italian restaurant won a lot of wine accolades. All of their wine awards were displayed in the front when you walked in. Warning: the alcohol option is most likely wine. I did not see any cocktails available. The sommelier gave us some wine options that were within our budget. It was a lovely Italian white wine bottle for less than $200. My husband and I choose different items on the prix fixe. For the dinner, we chose: Shared- Royal Kaluga caviar, smoked eel, potato, pickled beet Course 1- Appetizer- Me-Spanish mackerel crudo, Buddha's hand, radish, yuzu, finger lime Hubs- "Rossoti Ranch" Veal carpaccio, Olive gelee, capers, Parmesan Panna Cotta Course 2-Pasta- Me-Ridged pasta with faux "foie gras," black truffle, and Marsala (BEST DISH OF THE NIGHT MUST ORDER) Hubs-Suckling pig bottoni, Butternut Rugosa, sage brown butter, aged Sherry vinegar Course 3-Entree- Me-Dry age liberty duck Hubs-A5 Wagyu beef, charcoal-roasted celery root, Bluefoot mushroom Shared-Optional supplemental cheese course (MUCH regret.Too full for cheese and the options were too stinky for our palate) Course 4- Dessert- Me-Pistachio bavarese with raspberry and coconut cream Hubs-Burnt honey cake, apple gelato, vanilla, thyme It ended with a candy and dessert cart. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and will return for another celebration.

Came here with friends for a joint birthday celebration. We opted in for the 4-course tasting menu. This is a classic upscale Italian restaurant, which keeps the dress code. I was running a little late due to childcare situation. Once we all showed, they led us to our table. They provided a nice cushioned stool for purses. Rare these days and I truly appreciate the accommodations. The four course menu comes with 3 standard options for each course and one supplement choice for $75 extra. While going through the menu, we also got some help picking up the wine. They would tailor their recommendations to your needs. We got a really nice bottle of full body/multi-layered flavored Italian wine for less than $200. Wow. So delicious. We were also greeted with a birthday card. Very thoughtful. I went with coffee cured white beets, acquerello risotto, duck, dark chocolate mousse with banana confit. We welcomed some refreshments first with a 3-phase little surprise, starting with a crabmeat-avocado mousse-a touch of pomelos (nice choice for phase 1 to be light refreshing), a liver mousse icecream shaped treat (slightly heavy but need it to kick off the meal), followed by a mushroom filled pastry (good hit of mushroom with buttery pastry). My meal was absolutely beautiful and delicious. I am recovering from a cold and really appreciate the light, citrusy white beet. The coffee cured choice was unexpectedly delicious and weirdly worked. The risotto was delicious and light. Love the bites also. My duck was a delight. The fennel and coriander crust was absolutely delicious and provides the nice texture. I asked for medium well for my duck and it was so well executed. My chocolate mousse was so yummy. The dark chocolate crust was so nice and the banana confit was nicely blended. All plates were beautiful. After meal was served, we were asked if we could like to have coffee and another table of treats were presented.... Okay... I often pride myself of a being big eater.... I couldn't believe that I found myself being challenged of standing up after the four course meal.... lol Service was spot on from the start to the end and no details were forgotten. My friend organized the birthday celebration and it made the birthday girl and boy feel that we were invited to a warm house greeted and taken care by wonderful hosts and the entire house. The place was very classy and warm. Would definitely come back!
