Pappardelle
Elaine Y.

Came for mom's birthday and overall, some aspects of Barberio Osteria were excellent whereas other parts were just ok. First off, upon walking in, the majority of the tables were open so it was kind of odd to be offered the one right by the bathroom. Why? Then, when the waitresses came over, we began by asking if the bread of warm but instead of realizing it was a question the waitress noted "yes we can warm the bread" which implied we now ordered it. Welp, it's ok. At least it's Acme bread. As for the warming, it was put over the grill which added an interesting char flavor that actually complemented the olive tapenade quite well so secret menu ask I guess? We also added the citrus salad which had arugula, radicchio, pistachio, and a variety of citrus slices including oranges and grapefruit. It was a nice light and bright salad! Next we went with the 40 yolk pasta and the pappardelle. Between the two, the 40 yolk pasta was my favorite. The fresh sage really elevated the Parmesan. The pappardelle was also very good but it didn't have that unexpected pop of flavor. We also added the whole grilled red snapper which was grilled to perfection. The meat was sweet and tender and really tasty! I especially enjoyed it with the green sauce that accompanied it! Unfortunately neither of the desserts on this night spoke to us so we didn't order it. Overall, dinner for 4 came to just under $170.

Good Italian food, excellent service, nice interior. We weren't very hungry on the night of our visit so we had an app and a main - a tuna and bean dish, and a pork also paired with delicious beans Both choices were a win and seemed like the menu is very thoughtfully arranged.

Romantic, trendy spot on Valencia. I'm surprised at how easy it was to get a Saturday night reservation the day-off, but it was to my benefit -- would definitely come back for dinner with friends before a night out. Great wine list, excellent pastas and the market fish was super filling. My personal favorite was salty, rich mushroom ravioli, but others really liked the red sauce.

Barberio Osteria has been on my "want to try" list for a while, so I was excited to see them on the Restaurant Week lineup. My husband and I decided to go and noticed there was plenty of reservation availability online, so we opted to walk in. We were seated right away, although next time I might book ahead since it looked like reservations offered more options (e.g., counter vs. standard seating). No big deal though - it was fun watching the hustle and bustle of the open kitchen (even if it got a little warm near the wood-burning grill). Since there were two of us, we were able to try almost everything on the RW menu (everything except the cappelletti), while also getting glimpses of other dishes being prepped in the kitchen. As a pasta fan, I was especially excited for the pappardelle with bolognese, and it did not disappoint. Everything we tried was delicious -- shoutout to the tonno e fagioli too! Even though it was a busy night, the staff were attentive and quick to respond. I'm looking forward to coming back soon and trying some of their non-RW items!

Went to Barberio Osteria the other night to celebrate the end of our honeymoon, and it's definitely an underrated gem ! The location is beautiful, the design of the space is modern yet comfortable, and there is adequate space between the table. Both of our servers were very kind as well. We ordered the anchovies as an appetizer that came with a delicious tomato and pepper accompaniment, a flavor with anchovies that is never had before but really enjoyed. My husband then ordered the papardelle with the bolognese which was insanely delicious. I try not to eat pork but had a small noodle and the flavoring on it by itself was remarkable. He absolutely loved it. I ordered a pasta dish with tomato sauce and summer squash which was perfectly cooked Al-denté and very well spiced. We then finished with the chocolate caramel budino which was a lot more delicate than other budinos I've had, but not too sweet. We truly had a wonderful time. The only thing I will say is that even though we said we were celebrating the end of our honeymoon in the reservation, nothing was really done to agknowledge it, so I might maybe not go for a life event, but the food more than made up for it and I can't wait to go back.

Panzanella di drupace (stone fruit salad)
Ruby Z.

Super cute hidden gem! This dark romantic restaurant is tucked away on Valencia, great location to get a dinner before going out in the Mission (we ate here before going to a movie at the Alamo). We had an early reservation so it wasn't super busy. Service was quick and attentive. For 3 people to share, we ordered: - Panzanella di drupace / stone fruit salad (a surprise hit!) - Acciughe / house-cured sardines (it's great it you like sardines) - Doppio / double-stuff pasta (a little too sweet for me personally) - Branzino fish special (great for sharing, and looks impressive!) A cute spot definitely worth a visit for a date night or a friend's dinner!

The food was so good I forgot to take a picture. The prosciutto, bread, and olive oil were excellent. The paperdelle bolognese was delicious!! The ambience is very nice. It's a classy, dimly lit setting with great finishing touches. The service was attentive and friendly.

Prosciutto di Parma

Barberio Osteria @barberiosf 557 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110 Haha! We were totally blown away by the sister restaurant Altovino @altovinosf before, and now we're in the Mission district! We liked Altovino a bit more because that truffle appetizer was just too good, seriously ! For the appetizers, we loved the Prosciutto di Parma--super cool with all those textures, the crispy crackers with the salty ham were awesome! The tuna dish, though, was kinda meh. For the pasta, Strozzapreti was our fave--even the veggie version was packed with flavor from the veggies and creamy vibes. Seems like they switch up the veggie types now and then! The menu now is different from what we had back then. Pappardelle was as tasty as always, and the Agnolotti had this unique pasta texture that stood out. The grilled fish was a bit pricey, and the portion wasn't huge! The Panna Cotta felt like it had a smaller serving compared to the sister spot, kinda sad about that You can save 20% using @inkind App 之前吃過姊妹店 Altovino非常驚艷,這次來mission區~我們喜歡Altovino 多一點,因為前菜松露那道真的太好吃了 前菜喜歡Prosciutto di Parma,有各種口感,脆脆的餅搭配鹹火腿好讚!另外一道鮪魚就比較普通~ 義大利麵最喜歡Strozzapreti ,即使是素的,蔬菜跟奶香味味道很豐富,他們好像會定期更新青菜種類~菜單現在上面的跟我們當初吃的不一樣!Pappardelle一如既往的好吃,Agnolotti 的麵口感很特別 烤魚價格偏高一點,份量不算特別多!Panna Cotta比起姊妹店份量好像比較少 #winnie_date #winnie_sanfrancisco #winnie_eat #infatuation #infatuationsf #sanfran #sf #sanfrancisco #sffoodie #sffood #bayarea #bayareaeats #bayareafoodie #sfbayarea #italian #italianfood #pasta #sfeats #weekend#pannacotta #truffle #appetizer #italianrestaurant #sffoodies #foodspotting #舊金山 #灣區 #海外生活

Vermouth cocktail 10/10
K I.

Wow, just wow. Absolutely phenomenal dining experience. Beautiful restaurant. Incredible service but most importantly the food was 100/10. Every single thing we ate was perfection. -prosciutto app is a must! Simple yet perfect. 10/10 -bread with anchovy infused olive oil. Bread was really good but the lemony salty oil was the star. 10/10 -pappardelle. Rich and flavorful 10/10 -angolotti al plin: light and fresh 10/10 -affogato dessert 1000/10 an absolute must. The ice cream is actually perfect and holds up beautifully against the smooth espresso -espresso tonic is very light and yummy - i had one of their vermouth cocktails, the name escapes me but it had a sugar rim. It was perfect Honestly just go here! It truly is THAT good.

A bit from all four entrees we ordered.
Shai W.

This place is classy and delicious. Our friends took us for a nice anniversary dinner and it did not disappoint. Staff is great, knowledgeable, friendly. Food was delicious - they're happy to accommodate vegetarian needs! It's definitely on the higher end for Valencia street, and you're going to want more than just one entree per person as the portions are fairly European. For a special night out, I recommend!

My colleague from Italy said it was the best Italian he's ever had in SF. We ordered the top three recommended pasta dishes. Intimate and cozy vibes, and making a reservation last minute on Friday was very easy. I forgot what the arancini-like appetizer was called, but it was soo good, creamy and perfectly fried. My favorite pasta dish was the 40-yolk egg pasta with truffle. The pappardelle was great, and I loved the noodle texture of the spinach/olive pasta. We were so full at the end but will definitely come back to try the rest of their pastas. It was a pleasure meeting the owner Saul. Amazing/extensive wine selection. Friendly staff

Made a reservation for two on a Thursday night at the chefs counter, arrived a little early and was promptly seated. Restaurant had a few other people but plenty of space. As the night progressed more guest trickled in but plenty of space for walk ins. Drinks: Amalfi Sunset - well balanced and refreshing a little salty, sweet and bitter, nice starter beverage Insalata - solid mixed salad, with Asian pear and pomegranates, lightly dressed which is how I prefer my salads Suppli - very good - comes with two to an order, fried crispy with no greasiness, filled with risotto and cheese, the truffle aioli worked nicely with this, rich but delicious Agnolotti - fantastic, pasta was perfectly cooked with a slight al dente texture, the creamy mushroom filling was liquid almost like a sauce on the inside, the asparagus, onions, peas and brown sauce were a nice compliment Tagliatelle - a miss for me, overly salty, pasta was well cooked but a bit too many flavor component with olives, lamb, preserved lemons, fennel and mint would skip this one Service was excellent, staff is attentive and friendly. Water was refilled throughout our meal, plates were replaced between courses and staff checked in throughout the meal. Overall a solid spot for Italian in SF, nice variety in the menu. Besides the tagliatelle, everything else was outstanding, worth a try.

Y-U-M, full stop…read more How can I have lived in SF for more than 25 years and never once made it to this place?! For two of us we ordered a dozen oysters (sweetwaters, kusshis and miyagis), a bowl of clam chowder, the steamed artichoke w/citrus aioli, the Caesar salad w/crab and some bread on the side. And two glasses of Corsican rosé. ALL of it was scrumptious. It was just the right amount of food for us, though next time we will downsize the clam chowder or order a plain Caesar to fit another half dozen oysters into our bellies. Service was uniformly attentive and friendly and the place is cute and clean. We arrived at about 5.40 and were seated about half an hour later at the bar. Coming back!!

Delicious shellfish meals has always been on my mind before I personally give up on them. I preferred indoor dining since I got to see how hungry customers like their food so much. After finding out about the specials, it's too bad there's never any single fish dishes let alone mostly shellfish meals. Therefore, a shellfish salad was a suitable choice. A pair of prawns, Bay shrimps, crab meat remains, olives, slices of tomatoes, slices of radish, and the romaine lettuce as a base. The blue cheese dressing I've chosen didn't overwhelm the shrimp and crab flavors as I continue to enjoy every single bite. I'll be more than glad to have cioppino and some oyster shooters, but having the shellfish salad is the last shellfish meal I would ever have. I still give two thumbs up to Anchor Oyster Bar for their local sustainable seafood selection.

Soft, beautiful shades of blue gave the ambiance a relaxing vibe. Started with phenomenal steamed mussels and Littleneck clams ($24) with a savory white wine broth punctuated by oregano and then the smaller lobster roll (they offer a 3 and 6 oz size), chilled and with mayo ($29). If you'd like, you can also get the lobster roll warm and with melted butter. Service played as important role as food and the staff was attentive even as the tables filled and a good amount of to-go orders came and went. I appreciated they asked if I wanted my steamed clams and mussels with shoestring fries on the side - or in the seafood bowl. I didn't have to ask twice for a side of mayonnaise or aioli. A cold Humble Sea draft beer ($9) was a great accompaniment to the seafood. Woodhouse Fish is a moderately priced seafood restaurant that's affordable and in the residential and shopping area of Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights. Low key and enjoyable, Woodhouse Fish is a wonderful little gem.

So while I definitely will return because the food was so good, you will not find me here at Restaurant Week. I was hoping for a little something something more for Restaurant Week.

Otherwise, it's probably normally cloudy, overcast, or chilly in the Outer Sunset neighborhood. The menu looks neat and I usually like to look beforehand to avoid holding up the line with indecisiveness. But after getting there, there were more options for different fish and we weren't sure what to go with, so just went with the default fish of the day. Lady taking my order wasn't rude, but also not really informative for the newer customers. A little disorganized. Thankfully they have an option to order online, which is what I might do next time, even though not everything is explained online either.
