Best Italian Restaurants in Van Ness

We enjoyed a beautiful bottle of Tenuta di Trinoro. The food, ambiance and service were all amazing. Ali, our server was very knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations. Will definitely be returning.

Everyone and everything was amazing. Always the best

We came for an 8:45pm Friday reservation and waited for about 30 min. Staff were apologetic and offered us complimentary drinks so that was a plus. Once we were sat, our service was great. Our server was attentive and knew about my sesame allergy (even though I always note my allergy for reservations on OpenTable or Resy, many servers are unaware -- so I was happy to know I was in good hands!) The bartender who was working that night was also a hoot! We wanted to try a dish that had sold out, so that was a bummer. That and the wait are the only reasons for the 4/5 stars. But it was delicious and worth it. TLDR: I will be back!

First time dining at this restaurant. Went for lunch with a work colleague. Excellent service—from the reception to the table. Friendly and professional. Ordered Woodchuck chuck pizza (yes—I spelled it correctly). Excellent! Colleague ordered chicken — same review. (He also ate some of my pizza after finishing his meal. Lesson learned: keep pace to prevent poaching). Fantastic experience. Will return.

Excellent food -- osso buco!! A delicious argula, parmesan chips, and oil & lemon juice salad. Simple & remarkable. All in a homey neighborhood spot -- trattoria, if you wish.
