L'Ottavo San Francisco

THE PLACE IS SHUTTERED! Open Table never even told us. Shame on you! It has a For Lease sign out front.

The restaurant was closed. It seemed it was out of business! There was no notice online and I was able to book the reservation! This was so disappointing going there with my wife and seeing a closed door! I am not going to use open table app anymore because it’s not accurate either!

We enjoyed our meal here. We shared the calamari fritti appetiser which was generous and tasty. My partner’s salmon was excellent and also a very generous portion. My pork loin was good if a bit overcooked, sauce was tasty and the red pasta with it unexpectedly spicy (but good). The latter part of the meal was a little spoiled by a loud argument from the kitchen in Spanish. Service throughout was a little amateurish but genuine and friendly. Not all wines on the list were available for us. There were chairs stacked on a table at the front door which made the restaurant feel a bit half-a@@ed. Atmosphere was still homey and pleasant nonetheless.

The service was great, noise minimal, and food overall was excellent, except for the bread which was barely warm and tasted like plain white bread

This is a very nice small local Italian restaurant in San Francisco. It is a very convenient place to have a good dinner prior to attending a performance, which we did at Grace Cathedral. Although the menu was small, the food was very well prepared and tasty. We were sorry to hear that they are closing and have sold the place to someone else who is not in the restaurant business. We enjoy going to the City often and it is sad to know that soon many of these small restaurants will no longer exist.
