    The service, food, and ambiance were ideal for our family of 8 - three generations with a few kids. This old-style San Francisco restaurant never fails to please!

    Fior D'Italia has been around for 140 years for a reason. Impeccable service, impeccable food. Delicious ravioli di zucca and osso bucca and affogato tonight. Love this beautiful restaurant 😍

    This restaurant has great food! The pasta made fresh daily is a must. My waiter was also great. They serve nice bread with olive oil with your meal. Water and wine were kept full. The restaurant is close to Fisherman's Wharf and the bay, yet nestled on a quieter street. There could be some updating done for the ambiance, but it feels authentic and lively at the same time.

    Definitely consistently excellent food. I have dined here often and it never disappoints. Great place to take out of town guests because you can count on the food being great.

    This is such a cute restaurant! I had the fettuccine Alfredo which was so delicious & fresh. My partner had the pesto pasta which he really liked. And we had an inexpensive red wine which was great. We’ve been meaning to come here for years & we’re so glad we did. We’ll be back!

    Very disappointed; extremely poor service. Missing a knife on setup; had to ask for a knife twice, as the first time, the waiter brought a fork instead of a knife. Wine was substituted without informing us and opened before we saw the bottle label. Food was nothing to write home about; a bad overall experience.

    Our server was chatty and pleasant, but it took too long to order and then he forgot part of our order and gave it to another table.

    We wanted to try Fior D’Italia because it was the oldest Italian restaurant in San Francisco. The restaurant was obviously old, a lot bigger than we thought. The food was good, nowhere near that of Original Joe’s. Service was fine, our waiter Alfredo was very helpful on his recommendations. Unfortunately we were seated by a very large group who were very loud, I guess understandable with a party that size. We tried something different, I think next time we’ll stick to the Italian food restaurants we’re used to. We enjoyed our dinners.
