We sat at the bar on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed delicious appetizers including delicious crab cakes and meatballs as well as expertly crafted drinks. The bartender was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Spacious and busy for a Sunday in the FiDi, even accommodating a large impromptu group of more than 20 hungry tourists!

Happy hr

Pizza is pretty delicious, they're small personal size pizzas, about 5 slices each Happy hour- Love that there is happy hour everyday! 2-6pm which is a long window yay! Pretty quiet only 3 tables occupied on weekdays during that time frame, before the dinner crowd. House or mezcal Cocktails $8, some pizza $10 There's an employee benefits surcharge added to all bills Indoor outdoor seating

FUNGHI pizza in red sauce
Suchita A.

Went there with friends. They have indoor and outdoor seating areas; we chose outdoor as the weather was pleasant and indoors felt a bit stuffy. They also had a kids menu. We ordered 4 dishes - 2 vegetarian. The servers were kind enough to offer customizations and even suggested which dishes would taste good with vegetarian customization. We settled on: 1. Funghi pizza in red sauce (replacing white sauce) - perfectly fired, deliciously flavored, with enough toppings 2. Cauliflower - took a chance with this one - turned out good 3. Penne portobello (minus sausage) - it is a white sauce pasta with mushrooms and chicken. Very tasty. 4. Salmone Spiedini - skewers. Delicious. Portion size was good - we were 4 people and were overstuffed when we finished. Ambience is casual, quiet.

Spaghetti and meatball: Spicy and decent, the best plate
Marc D.

Solid backup plan, not a destination. We landed at Delacosa after bailing on a louder spot down the block, walked in before 5pm, and got seated right away at a comfortable window table. Friendly, attentive staff from the start. We split a few things. The Happy Hour margarita pizza was okay but forgettable. The beet salad was big enough for two, but the beets tasted canned, which is hard to ignore when beets are the whole point. The spaghetti and meatball had a nice kick and was the most enjoyable plate, but still landed at average. Draft beers were fine, not craft. The wine was okay. They run a full bar if that's your thing. The room itself is comfortable, casual dress, open kitchen, communal tables, a glassed-in patio out front. The one knock on the vibe: the music ran loud for the size of the space, which got everyone talking louder to compete. Average ambiance because of it. If you want to actually hear the person across from you, this isn't the quiet option. Logistics are the easy part. It's a short walk from BART, so transit is a non-issue. Parking nearby is the catch, there's basically none, so take BART if you can. No reservations needed; we walked in cold and never waited. Happy hour gets you the cheaper pizza and small plates, which is when the value makes the most sense. If you're near Union Square and just need a casual sit-down with a full bar and no wait, it works. Order the spaghetti and meatball, skip the beet salad, and go before the dinner crowd if you care about noise. I didn't feel a pull to return.

Happy hour menu not too much options I wish I could have broccoli or cauliflower on the menu

Quick, polite service. Yummy food. Great portion size not too much food. Pasta sauce could be a tad bit spicier.

Came here as a party of 8 for dinner on a Saturday night. I've walked past here many times, but this was my first time dining here, and would have never come here if it wasn't for friends. I got the hanger steak, which was very good. Though I ordered it rare, they mistakenly brought me medium rare, and I firmly had to repeat that I ordered rare. They went back to correct my order, and I waited about 10 minutes before they brought me back my corrected order.

BURRATA BRUSCHETTA
Bianca C.

I've been to Delarosa multiple times for both lunch and dinner. The drinks and food are always - from the boozy and NA drinks to the apps to the entrees and pizzas to the desserts (which I admittedly don't seem to order often enough since everything else is already so filling). Most times I've been able to come here without a reservation or with only a reasonable wait. That being said, this particular location is downtown and near Moscone Center, so it can get super busy and crowded after work or when there's a large event or conference happening nearby, so plan accordingly. It's a great spot for both small and large groups, with bar seating, private tables, and communal tables, and the staff are friendly.

BURRATA BRUSCHETTA
Helen V.

We came in for happy hour but that part of the menu didn't have too many options so we ended up ordering from the regular menu spot. There was lots of seating and not too busy around the time we came in. The burrata and bruschetta appetizer was pretty tasty with the crunchy bread and savory cheese drenched in honey. It felt like I was eating dessert before my dinner. I enjoyed eating the pasta the most. The sauce was flavorful and the pasta type paired well with it. The pizza was ok, it wasn't my favorite. I felt like it lacked sauce and was pretty dry. I couldn't even finish the crust which I usually have no problem doing.

Beet and Kale Salad
Jen L.

We arrived on Saturday night after our friends were able to snag a table for 8 people. The table was outside which was perfect since the weather was really nice. There was a very large line at 6:50pm but 20 minutes earlier, there wasn't a line when our friends got there. Apparently, this place has been here for years and is our friends' go to spot for an Italian family dinner. They make the trek all the way from the Richmond district every once in awhile to enjoy their appetizers, pizzas, and pastas. Now that we've tried them, I can see why! After we sat, some yummy appetizers (Meatballs and Burrata Bruschetta) hit the table and the bartender came by to drop off drinks. He said he was supposed to be behind the bar and couldn't take our food order. A few minutes later, he came back and said he was going to help us out. We ordered the Beet Salad and a pizza plus a bottle of wine. Then later when we were able to get the attention of someone, we ordered even more pizza. I was super excited that they had gluten free pizza! I got the spicy Bartender pizza with the burrata and it was delicious. My son loved their Burrata Bruschetta so much, we ordered another one. The others raved about their Hot Honey pizza. I think we ended up with three of them as the night went on. They have an incredible kids pizza that's so big, it's good enough for two kids to share and costs only $13. Their menu prices are actually very reasonable. As tables cleared, a server was more accessible. He checked on us a few times and brought our drinks. We asked him about a birthday candle and which desserts were good. This last server was very personable and friendly while the manager wasn't very personable at all. He recommended two desserts so we rounded out the evening with the Tiramisu and two Flourless Chocolate Cakes, one with a birthday candle. The Flourless Chocolate Cake was delicious with my two Espresso Martinis!

Date of Visit: 1/31/2026 We visited the Italian restaurant Delarosa located in Yerba Buena Lane in San Francisco at the end of January. Delarosa offers the beloved Roman style pizza, small plates, craft beer and cocktails. They also have the great Happy Hour every day from 2pm to 6pm. We were sat outside beneath a heater at around 5:45pm and we ordered the Happy Hour menu right away. Espresso Martini $10 I got the espresso martini from the happy hour menu made with Vodka, espresso, coffee liqueur, bitters. Salty Dog $8 Husband ordered he salty dog with vodka, elderflower, and grapefruit. Very fresh and refreshing. Pizzetta Margherita $10 We ordered this pizza from the Happy Hour menu made with Marinara, basil, and mozzarella. Thin crusted pizza which was very crispy! Penne Portabelo $23 Also highly recommend the penne pasta with cream sauce, portobello mushroom, sausage, chicken, and roasted garlic.

Menu Jan 2026
Doretta W.

The location is a cute, modernly decorated space. Not sure I understand San Fran's obsession with backless stools as chairs. The service was timely but rather cold. They seemed annoyed by customers. I started with onion focaccia and the winter salad. The focaccia had a wonderful mix of rosemary and butter with slightly caramelized onions...super yum! The salad had a good flavor ... yet the pecans were just short of burnt and the lettuce leaves needed to be cut as they were too large to eat. The meatballs had a herby flavor and the tomato sauce was deep and robust.

Onion Focaccia
Hemant D.

Had dinner here today Cab Franc was ok, the bartender Made a nice cocktail with Mezcal For appetizer, we ordered Onion Focaccia which was good We got Fungi pizza with red sauce and it was really good, well done as we like it The ambiance is good. Service was below average (our server was going through the motions of asking everything to finish the checklist). They did not seem glad customers were there, only interested in turn over

Friendly, great banter, helpful throughout the escape. The escape game is split across multiple rooms with a good diversity of puzzles. Don't want to spoil too much here but they were good challenges. Drinks we incorporated throughout and presented like test tubes that were drinkable in a gulp, kind of like a cocktail shot. Personally, I found the first two drinks to be a bit too sweet, but I liked the third, which was coconut forward. The price is definitely a bit more costly. It was $100/person for a party of five. I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid. Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it

This place has so much going on. It makes it ideal for so many different things. Hot day? Want to bring your doggie?? They have an airy patio and a bunch of cute tables out front.

It is truly as delectable as it sounds, and by far my favorite thing there! That being said, I am a french fry aficionado. We also tried the coconut chicken sandwich which I found to be a bit different than a lot of standard fried chicken sandwiches. I did ask for the chili sauce on the side because I don't like it to be too sweet. Boyfriend loved it with the chili sauce. I liked it without. I did order a side of aïoli. Another thing I found really nice was that they use the chicken thigh rather than the breast. Most of the fried chicken sandwiches I've had use the breast and this was a very nice change. The chicken was juicy and the sandwich was super tasty. They offer all sorts of tasty delights, like fish tacos, mochicko chicken bites, mac & cheese with or without bacon and crab! Yum. If I was to make one recommendation, it would be to add another salad to the menu. Your menu offers a wonderful variety of delicious treats that are on the richer and heavier side so having another option for something on the lighter side would be fantastic.

To summarize: very mediocre and extremely overpriced. We ordered their Aged Sashimi, Uni Amaebi Donburi, and the Tori Nanban Sando for food, 2 drinks (one alcoholic and one non alcoholic), and the matcha affogato for dessert. Visually, everything looked nice. However, tiny portions for every dish, especially the aged sashimi. It came with 5 slivers of fish half the size of my pinky and one small ball of mashed up fish the size of a grape...for $40! The uni amaebi donburi was the best of out of the bunch and had better quality/taste despite being overloaded with rice, but nothing I can't find elsewhere for less (nearly $60 for a tiny bowl). The fried chicken sando was decent but had too much mayo and again, was tiny. Even my non alcoholic drink was super tiny with the ice block taking up more than 50% of the glass ($15). The most disappointing was the matcha affogato ($15)- no matcha flavor at all even though there was clumps of matcha in the bowl. Yes it was whisked in front of us, but clearly not enough or they are using lower quality grade matcha. For this experience, it came out to be nearly $100 per person before tip. I was thoroughly disappointed and can only blame myself for falling for the false hype. Will not be making this mistake again.
