Il Pollaio - San Francisco

Great food, personal service, and rarest of all: decent portions sizes that aren't too large or too small. A real cocktail menu that goes beyond wine cocktails is a nice bonus.

Adorable little spot in North Beach that transports you right to Italy :’ The chef and owner is so charismatic and charming, and made us feel so welcome. Their pasta dishes are so down-to-earth, and a great option for when you’re just feeling like some traditional, homey italian food. I loved their carbonara, the beef ragu was so tender and flavorful, and the gnocchi perfectly pillowy. It’s also one of the few remaining spots in the city that gives you complimentary bread, which scores them a ton of points in my book. Will definitely be returning soon!

Very good food! Service was good and pasta was cooked to perfection. The desert was homemade and so so delicious!

They do not make my favorite type of pasta sauce but other wise supper good I recommend you try this place. We are all of our

The mushroom gnocchi here was hands down the best I’ve ever had. I have not had food that well prepared since I went to Italy. Great service the owner was so kind. I will definitely be back.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian items are a little thin on the menu but the ones they have are phenomenal
