Amazing Happy Hour selections!! A local SF must try in the Mission/Valencia district. We tried the spaghetti and meatballs, salami pizza, and some local red vino ! Also tried the white wine clams pasta and added shrimp! The pasta was called nguini alle vongole. We didn't get to try the bartender pizza, that seems to be popular but will try it next time! read more

Came here during SF restaurant week for their prix fixe menu. Since we came between 5-6 it was during their happy hour, we ordered a veranda spritz and sbagliato from the happy hour menu. The spritz almost tastes like a delicious kombucha and in a good way. There's little alcohol in it and very refreshing. Sbagliato tastes more alcoholic and heavier on the spice note which is really different from the spritz. The prix fixe menu comes with house made focaccia, choice of appetizer, entree and a dessert. The highlight was the garlic shrimp appetizer and the entrees. The seafood risotto tastes very fresh and delicious but I wish that the rice was a bit harder- it felt like i didn't need to chew much to swallow which wasn't something I like. The butter squash ravioli was interesting. The ravioli felt like a dessert with fried sage, brown sugar and cinnamon crumbles on top. We both were disappointed with the desserts which was surprisingly given some of the best dishes I got from Italian restaurants were the desserts. Honestly I'm not sure if 45 dollars per person is a steal but we got to try a variety of dishes. Service was good and I liked the ambiance of the restaurant. I will come back for their happy hour. read more

Three of us able to walk in without a reservation on a Saturday at 6:30 pm. Fast, friendly, and nice service. Chicken piccata was yum. We really like the system where you pick a pasta, a sauce and a protein -- always wondered why more Italian restaurants don't have this!! Only downside is that it's noisy. We were able to talk but it's a little difficult. read more

Came here on a weekday night to celebrate a friend's birthday. We made a reservation in advance, but restaurant still had vacancy. The food was large portion and delicious, which is pretty rare these days for an upscale italian restaurant. Highly recommend the walnut bread with burrata for the appetizer. There's happy hour between 5-6pm. Squid ink risotto was a must. They gave us a free dessert since its our friends birthday!! I recommend sitting inside as we encounter bugs climbing on the wall outside... read more

Came into Beretta Valencia location with a friend for a late lunch / early dinner. We both had the day off on Sunday and decided to have a evening in the city. Upon coming into Beretta for the evening the ambiance is very nice , open , and elevated . The chairs at the dining tables are futuristic and very cool. The entrance is very welcoming with a long bar that we decided to sit at. We were greeted by the wonderful bartender Alexandro who took excellent care of us that night. He was extremely knowledgeable about the cocktail menu along with food. He was very patient with us while we asked him questions about the menu and what to order. We went with his recommendation which was the fried platter with shrimp , artichoke hearts, calamari and dill- AMAZING and the aioli it came with. Chefs kiss! Then we went with the bartenders pizza which was very good as well- only suggestion is they cut the peppers smaller because they were very spicy. Alexandro is an excellent bartender and so was his colleague Tyler. I will definitely be back! read more

Such a good happy hour spot in the city! HH is Mon-Fri from 5-6pm so it's a short window but definitely worth it. We got here at 5:45pm which was cutting it a little close, but we were still able to order off the HH menu. To drink, we each got a veranda spritz (I think $8 or $9?) which is ginger, basil oil, and prosecco. It was light, refreshing, and sweet! Highly recommend. To eat, we ordered the bruschetta ($10), margarita pizza ($10), and spaghetti and meatballs ($10). All of the food was amazing. The bruschetta was topped with broccoli/broccolini and burrata which was definitely different but I loved it. The pizza and spaghetti were classics. No notes. My friend and I split the bill and including tip we each paid about $31 ish which feels really reasonable for what we got! It was the perfect amount of food for 2 gals. Would come back! They dim the lights closer to 6pm and bring you a lamp to your table. Would also be a cute date spot! read more

First time trying this place. Didn't enjoy as much as I thought I would. The foods we got was very mid. Only thing we really enjoyed in the menu was the pizza. Parking is hard. Ambiance is giving more loud bar vibes. Wouldn't recommend if not going to drink. read more

Still amazing as ever. The bartender pizza literally has burrata on every single slice. Legit such good value and so filling. Also spicy which I love. The chicken Milanese Cesar was good but could have used maybe lemon? Idk I like a bit more tang but it was quite crispy and good!!!! read more

Came here because a friend wanted to try it and we had a reservation for 5 at 2 PM on a Sunday. It wasn't too busy, which was nice. We ordered the prosciutto pizza, fungi pizza, bartender special pizza, tricolore salad, and Caesar salad. Overall, the food was pretty good. The main downside was the service, which felt a bit lacking. Since it wasn't very busy, we expected a little more attentiveness throughout the meal. Still, the food was solid and worth trying if you're in the area. read more

This place had really good food: we got both happy hour pizzas, calamari, and fries. Everything was good except the fries. It honestly felt like a waste of money... The servers were so sweet and quick and the drinks were amazing but I probably wouldn't come here again. read more

I have been a fan of Beretta for years. Their meatballs are savory and filling. Their Italian sausage pizza topped with creamy burrata cheese made me fall in love with burrata. The cocktails are beautifully prepared, the service is so hospitable, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. Definitely drop in for a meal at Beretta. You won't regret it! read more

Stopped by here on a weekday to have dinner with a small group, the place was not too packed on a Monday, and we got seated quickly. The waiter was kind and asked if we wanted to start with drinks, and of course we did. I ended up with a Cognac Old Fashioned, which I always found good, and it was not bad here with Hine Cognac. We ordered the Fungi Pizza and Linguini alle Vongole, both came out surprisingly quickly and extremely hot, my mistake for jumping in so quickly on the pizza. Both were quite delicious and pretty filling; the pasta was flavorful, and was just the right amount for 3 people to share with the pizza. Overall, it was a great place to grab a bite to eat. I'll be stopping by again soon! read more

The service was okay and the restaurant was pretty busy. We enjoyed a few drinks and the burrata salad for the appetizer, the burrata salad was just okay . I think that it is a little bit different than the broad salad they previously had. The main course was very good, I had the linguine with clams and white wine. The tiramisu was really watery and was something we could've skipped. Overall this was a good experience. read more

Came here for dinner and the waiter recommended the arancini with crab to start, and we ordered the bartenders pizza and meatballs along with a glass of wine. The food came quick. One pizza to share is enough for two if you get another appetizer to share. We had two slices to take home. The tables are close to each other and it is loud when the restaurant is full. When we came on Saturday it was bustling. read more

This is definitely a cute spot for date night! There are some great dishes and good drinks, but unfortunately nothing spectacular. The not that easy drink is quite good! The matcha and coconut milk work well together. The antipastini focaccia and zucchini were great and very fresh. The cacio e pepe was okay and the bartender's pizza was just good as well. The tiramisu was creamy, but the ladyfingers had a watery taste. There are better Italian places in the city, but Beretta is a solid try. read more

I wanted to update my review - the restaurant remodeled the inside and seemed to have updated the menu as well. Unfortunately I am still not a fan of the food here, and our service was once again very slow. Fortunately we weren't in any sort of hurry, but it's hard to explain how slow and mediocre the service was throughout our entire dinner. For food, I found the apps to be much better than the mains. We ordered: -meatballs - my favorite dish of the night -broccolini - pretty good, cooked nicely and good flavor -crab arancini - pretty unique and overall good -lasagna ferrarese - unlike any lasagna I've had before, but the flavor wasn't my favorite -spicy sopresata pizza - mediocre pizza, probably the best of the main dishes -risotto alla zucca - so so so bad. Almost inedible. The rosemary or something completely hijacked the flavor and we all thought it tasted like cleaning spray. This restaurant is super cute and I really want to love it, but unfortunately the food and service just don't do it for me. read more

We went to Beretta for a birthday celebration, we arrived half an hour earlier than our reservation but they immediately sat us which was nice because it started to pack up shortly after. Our waiter was awesome, he was quick to get us started and kept our waters replenished which I really appreciated. We ordered the following items to share as a group of four: - two pizzas (italian sausage & funghi) - the calamari (aka fritto misto) - meatballs - crab arancini - spaghetti cacio e pepe - tira misu Every item was delicious and we left so full? my favorite was the funghi pizza. It's flavorful and perfect for a garlic lover like myself. The ambiance is perfect for a date night, celebratory dinner, or a girls night out. Super cute & dimmed. I'd love to come back sometime to try their other items on the menu. read more

Nice location, good vibes. I liked the restaurant week special they had, although the risotto had too much water

First time visiting this spot and it was such a treat! We walked in on a Thursday night and got seated right away in a nice area. The restaurant was popping and the service was fantastic! The waiters came by to check in on our experience and our food every now and then very sweetly. That lasagna still lives in my brain rent free. When we asked for to-go boxes, they took our plates and boxed up our leftovers. It's a small gesture but it's so nice to have that extra step taken care of :) read more

We dined here last Saturday to celebrate my husband's birthday. It was nice to be greeted with a smile by the host. We were sited at a nice table in the back, which I requested for more privacy. Our appetizer was the Fritto Misto which included shrimp and not just squid, it was delicious! I would come back just to have that! Then we ordered a nice Caesar salad with anchovies, the dressing was just right. We decided to split the Linguine with clams since we were getting full.... Excellent with a little spice. Our waitress Johanna was attentive and we didn't have to wait long for her to check on us! We would definitely come back for the food and the service , you will not be disappointed! read more

I came here because Horsefeather had a long wait, and I was pleasantly surprised! I was sat immediately, and the waitress was super friendly and provided great food suggestions. At her recommendation, I ordered the margherita pizza, swapped the cheese for vegan cheese, and added mushrooms. I originally wanted pasta, but the vegan options seemed limited. Nonetheless, the pizza was honestly one of the best pizzas I've ever had! Food: 10/10 Drinks: N/A Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Vegan-friendly: 8/10 read more

I came here for lunch on a whim this past Sunday. The setting was overall casual and cozy, and I'm always a fan of Italian food. I ordered a carbonara that was very delicious, and the pasta had great texture I certainly would've loved to return for. Everything was pleasant throughout the meal - the server, a grey-haired, bearded gentleman, was polite, served us with water at the beginning, took our orders, and dropped off the food. Nothing out of the ordinary, but nothing bad either. Untiiiiilllllll.....it was time to pay. The bill already had a 5% mandate for employee benefits, and I was handed a card payment machine with tip suggestions starting at 18%. The server then leaned closer to me, to watch what I'd choose to tip. That immediately put me off completely, and I chose a less generous amount. He then had the nerve to ask if there was a problem. I'm not confrontational, so I said no. But sir, if you're reading this, that was the problem. Look, I get it. I'm from Canada where there's also a tipping culture, and being handed a card reader at a restaurant has been the norm for over a decade there. But the servers have always had the decency to step aside momentarily, or turn around when you pay to give you privacy. If you're going to make me uncomfortable as I'm trying to pay you, I'm definitely not going to give you more free money. read more

It's been too long! I had dinner on a Thursday night here at 6:30pm with five girlfriends. Reservations were made online about a month in advance. it was fairly busy so we might have had to wait if we were walk-ins. Kings garden - 4 stars. Lovely herbacious drink with egg white. Just my thing. Zucchini Scapece - 5 stars. This was amazing, such great flavor & texture. Fagioli Puree - 3.5 stars Ricotta Fresca - 4.5 stars. This had some pop of flavor, was it lemon? I loved this. Carpaccio di Polpo - 3 stars. A bit disappointing, flat and lacking texture. Meatballs - 4.5 stars. Broccolini - 4 stars. read more

Fun for a group, but food and service were just OK. It was the perfect weekend to sit outside with a group of friends. We got Pizza, wine, and a few other goodies. The pizza when hot was enjoyable, particularly the Margherita. The mushroom one was a bit too funky and the sausage one lacked salt. Service was a bit spotty, and it was a bit unusual how the pizza came before all the appetizers. read more

5% surcharge. - 4/5: panna gelato with olive oil and sea salt. The gelato is a rich fior di latte, and it goes great with olive oil and sea salt. It's good, not great. The soft serve at Pizzeria Delfina with olive oil and sea salt is better. - 3.5/5: Walnut bread with burrata and figs appetizer. It's OK, not great, and way overhyped. read more

If you're looking for a place out to grab a couple bites and drinks, Beretta is a nice spot. Tucked away in the Mission and somewhat far from the rest of the city, it's surprisingly packed so you'll want to make a reservation in advance. For appetizers, I would recommend getting the walnut burrata. Topped with honey and figs, it's a perfect snack that will leave you craving more. The crab arancini sounded delicious as well, however in reality was underwhelming - with no cheeses or other sauces, it's quite flavorless and a bit stale. For the mains, I was surprised by how few pasta selections there were. With only a couple dishes, the focus of this restaurant is clearly its pizzas. The risottos are not bad, however some of the pasta options, such as the agnolotti, didn't have much flavor beyond just being salty. As a whole, if you're looking for a spot to grab drinks and get a pizza, Beretta is not a bad option. However if you're looking for more flavorful and satisfying Italian food, I would recommend finding a spot in North Beach. read more

We had to check out the (slightly) new updated menu from Beretta, and it was a hit! We came in at 8 pm on a Monday, and the restaurant was still decently buzzing (who says SF is dead??)). For apps, we ordered the Antipastini plate (appetizer board with dips/sides and focaccia) with the Cannellini Bean Hummus, Zucchini, and the Ricotta. We also ordered the Walnut Bread. For mains, we shared the Cacio y Pepe and Mushroom Risotto. And for dessert, we had to get the Tiramisu! Everything was absolutely delicious. No flops on the antipastini board - the zucchini was the hit, as it was so salty and fried. The ricotta was insanely creamy and gentle, a good contrast. The hummus was very creamy and the thyme flavor was strong. We looooved the burrata and walnut bread, a perfect bite w creamy ricotta and truffle honey to make it rich without going overboard. As for mains, the Mushroom Risotto was some of the best risotto I've had - creamy, strong mushroom flavor, well salted, al dente. The Cacio y Pepe was good, but a lil dry (maybe expected for Cacio y pep generally). We got calabrese peppers on the side to pep it up. The tiramisu for dessert was a hit, creamy and slightly bitter without being too sweet. Delicious meal, good vibes, great for a celebratory dinner or fun catch up! read more

Happy Hour is FUN! The only complaint that I have is the fact that some of the happy hour options are TINY like the calamari and weak ah truffle fries (DO NOT order) The pizzas for 10 are a fun munch while drinking wine or cocktails for 8 but what else is there to complain about :P If you come for pep pizza and some wine, fun after work happy hour :) but not for a meal. Inside is a great ambiance, busy, yummy smelling and "millennial rustic". read more

We arrived for dinner less than an hour before they closed. We order focaccia, caponatina (roasted veggie salad with herbs) for appetizers, salmon for main dish and fritto misto (fried mixed seafood). The fritto misto was done correctly like the ones I had in Italy. The salmon was cooked right but the sauce was heavy in butter and complicated herby flavor and kinda ruined the perfectly cooked fish. The caponatina was cold which should've been warm or at least room temperature. Since they were getting ready to close down and we were the last guests in the restaurant the service was a bit underwhelming. I had to call the bartender a few times to get my waitress' attention. $70 for a main dish and two appetizers. I guess that's SF price for you. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Our server was from Rome who took great care of us. Margherita pizza hit the spot and went great with the in-house calabrian spicy oil, one of the best I've had anywhere, it packed an amazing punch. The winter salad was a let down, at $22 we were expecting a large bowl of plentiful greens but it came out rather small and sad. It tasted great but shouldn't be priced more than the other salads at $13- 15. The carbonara pasta was a decadent delight, very rich, full of flavor, presented nicely. The seating was pleasant, we loved the massive windows giving us time to chomp on our carbs and people watch. read more

Came here for my mom's birthday dinner. This was a great place to try something new in the neighborhood. Reservations were made prior. Food was delightful and exquisite. The service was persistent and checking if the party was ok and needed more water. I like when staff are constant checking if anything else is needed sometimes places forget after getting served. The ambiance of the restaurant was laid back and chill. I loved the crab arcancini that was very good and light. Everything my family ordered was a good share share for the family. read more

Came last minute as a party of 7 and they were able to accommodate us downstairs in a very intimate space which we were so grateful for! We had the bread and calamari for starters- both were delicious! I do wish the bread had olive oil and balsamic on the side to dip. I ordered the cacio e Pepe and that was good (not great) but size was so small! I didn't even feel that full after eating the main dish. Dessert was also okay. We got the peach something??? (Very non memorable as you can see) and they comped it for our birthday girl which was very kind! Server was great but food wasn't that special. Probably won't come again. read more

Had an outdoor seating reservation for 4 ppl and it was great. They have heaters so it's pretty warm. We ordered the Italian sausage pizza, prosciutto pizza, Caesar salad, and fried cauliflower, which was a perfect amount of food for 4 ppl. The pizza here is absolutely delicious!! The dough is so thin and chewy, and the flavors are so good. The bucatini was also perfectly cooked and the sauce was perfectly integrated into the pasta. We celebrated a bday here and brought a cake to cut - they do charge a $2/pp cake cutting fee. Loved dinner here! Would totally come back again for some Italian food! read more

Fantastic food and the warmest service! Family friendly, quiet enough for a conversation.

Four of us enjoyed a delicious dinner at Baretta Valencia last Saturday. Although the restaurant was very busy, the manager, Raul, gave us a warm welcome and made us feel well taken care of throughout the evening. We started by sharing a wonderful salad (panzanella) and olives, followed by two delicious pizzas and two excellent pasta dishes. We finished with a tasty tiramisu that was the perfect ending to the meal. Despite how busy the restaurant was, every course arrived promptly. Raul checked in with us several times to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. He could not have been more gracious or attentive. We are excited to return. Thank you, Raul! read more
