10/10 loved! The food was fabulous and flavors were unique and well done-- not just "good" food, but memorable. My favorites were: the chef's choice crudo, specially the tuna and hamachi(?). The tuna was rich and smokey in a great milky and fragrant fennel sauce. The hamachi in the root veggie wrap with a slight kick, awesome! And the scallop was good too! My boyfriend liked that one, but I thought the chip on top was over powering. My other favorite, the lamb pasta! Loved that texture. Flavor wise, savory and spicy. It was cold out and really warmed me up. Loved the experience. Our waitress was also awesome and patience. She let me try a few of the wine before settling down on a full body red that went very well with my pasta. Oh and the affogato, yum!! Exactly what we were looking for. Milky, almost sticky gelato, with a great bitter espresso read more

This place was exceptionally delicious. Perfect date night spot with moody ambiance that travels throughout the restaurant. Most of the staff were kind and accommodating women who routinely refilled your water. Even the bar seating wasn't too bad nor crowded! Definitely make a reservation! Now I'm personally not too concerned with pastas, I always think it's better to make it at home and not my first choice to seek it when eating out. But the pasta here is so flavorful, just perfect down to the texture and portion size. To start, we got the Hokkaido scallops with preserved lemon and sea beans. Refreshing and satisfies. For the pastas, we ordered the Cencioni with five mushroom sugo. A mix of cremini, shiitake, oyster, and porcini mushrooms with a deep, umami-rich flavor that's paired so well with crisps, a perfect pasta!! We also ordered the Paccheri alla vodka with tomato, cream, and nduja. Silky and a bit spicy, super delicious. I would most definitely come here again, this is probably my favorite Italian spot so far, ever. It's that good. I'm not even a pasta fanatic nor go out of my way to get Italian, but this place exceeded all my expectations. read more

Itria - scallops, vodka pasta, & mushroom pasta - Italian Near Me - San Francisco, California

My friend and I made a reservation a couple days prior for a 6 pm dinner on a Wednesday night. The interior was very calming and aesthetic from the soft lighting and wood fixtures. The staff explained to us the menu from the chef tasting to their recommendations for the a la carte side. Hokkaido Scallops, Preserved Lemon, Sea Beans - We opted for this crudo as we wanted something light and refreshing before our pasta dishes. The scallops were thin but very fresh. The combination of ingredients had a sourness that came through and a variety of textures from the scallop to the crunch on top. Calamarata, Squid, Jimmy Nardello Pepper, Caper, Pomodoro - The pasta had a good texture and I liked the tomato sauce that was slightly sweet and slightly spicy. The squid was cooked well and it all came together well balanced. It was a very enjoyable experience from the ambiance to the fresh fusion dishes and I would definitely recommend coming for an elevated meal. read more

Came here for vday dinner, got their focaccia and 3 pastas. Was so full and satisfied. Truly my fave Italian in the city for their pasta! Pastas: Great flavor and textures. Mafaldine is my go to but the vodka was perfection esp with stracciatella that we got on the side with our bread. The mushroom one was like a dream pasta, exactly my taste and I loved the crispy topping. If you take anything from this review, it's get the focaccia bread!! Even just the olive oil with the focaccia was so good. Honestly I don't think you can go wrong here. Great quality! read more

Had a reservation for 5:30pm yesterday (Saturday) for a group of 4. We got seated at one the tables close to the entrance. It was a little cold with the doors opening and closing, so we asked if we could move to a table in the back area. The staff was very nice and accommodating and moved us. The restaurant is dimly lit and nicely decorated. It has a casually elevated ambiance, perfect for date nights or even just dinner with friends. We opted to order several dishes to share. After each course, they would replace our plates and utensils with new ones. For starters, we ordered the Hokkaido scallops and broccoli caesar. The scallops were refreshing. The broccoli caesar was delicious. It came with crispy focaccia, which paired really well with the perfectly cooked broccoli. There was a generous amount of cheese, which I loved. For pasta, we ordered the spaghetti, cencioni, and mafaldine. All of them were super flavorful, creamy, and yummy. Each dish was different with its own unique flavor profile. The spaghetti with the dungeness crab had a nice and strong seafood flavor. The cencioni with the mushrooms was seasoned well and delicious. The mafaldine was simpler but equally creamy and seasoned. I could definitely taste the black pepper in the mafaldine. Last but not least, dessert. We ordered a tiramisu, which is off the menu. When we asked one of the staff members about it, they said there is a limited amount of tiramisu made each day and fortunately, we were able to get 1 of the last 2 that day. We also ordered the chocolate budino. Both desserts were great. I loved how both of them were not overly sweet and even though I was pretty full, I was still able to enjoy the desserts without feeling sick. Overall, we had a wonderful dinner here! read more

Super cute spot with a cozy, intimate atmosphere. The food was to die for! Every course was fantastic from the crudos and lettuces to the pastas and red snapper. I was truly blown away by the quality and flavors of every dish, which doesn't happen often. Much better than Collina in my opinion. Unfortunately, they have a 2-hour dining limit for a party of 4 but there are plenty of fun spots to go to for a drink after dinner. read more

Finally got to try Itria. I got the mafaldine cacio pasta which was a delight. The pasta tasted fresh and the shape of the noodles makes the sauce hug the pasta perfectly. Also got the dungeness crab spaghetti, which was not bad. The mafaldine takes the cake. Service was good and we got our food fast. read more

Heard it's a must try in the city so came to check it out! Interior was gorgeous - the dimmed lighting really gave it an upscale feel. Really loved the plates too that matched the modern vibe. Servers were very busy but we got everything that we needed and they were very nice. As for the food: Tuna crudo - 5 pieces of fresh tuna packed with a deep savory flavor. Really really delicious! Broccoli Caesar - Very unique take on a classic salad. Focaccia croutons were fun to break and very crispy. Sauce was interesting, didn't really taste like a caesar. Was very much like a creamy balsamic. Broccoli was really delicious and perfectly cooked. Only note would be that the sauce was too salty. I like salty but it was a little overpowering. Cacio e Pepe - Pretty good. Noodles were a tad overcooked. It's just the pasta and the sauce so felt kinda plain. Flavor only had two tones - pepper and egg, was also too salty. Egg was very present though. Duck Sugo - This was definitely the better pasta dish. Pasta was perfectly al dente and chewy. Plenty of duck that just melts in your mouth. Sauce was also not too salty but had a unique savory flavor to it. Loved that there was some crunchiness in the dish too, which made everything more complete. Budino - Not pictured but was surprisingly good! Not too sweet and very fun textures. The pudding portion felt very light and paired perfectly with the crumble and salt cream. Great way to end the night. Overall, definitely worth a try and would love to come back to try their other pastas! read more

We came here and got the tasting menu and it was excellent. The price ($109) is a good deal for the number of courses, the quality of the ingredients, and the skill with which the dishes are prepared. Everything was extremely tasty. Their crude dishes were great: essentially this comes down to the freshness of the scallops, salmon, and tuna. All were very fresh, flavorful, and had a great texture. The sauces with which they were served were balanced and complemented each dish (without drowning out the flavor of the crisp). The pastas were really well executed. My personal favorites were the duck carbonara and some kind of flat round pasta that I didn't catch the name of but had a deep umami and creaminess in the sauce that complemented the perfectly Al dente chewiness of the pasta. The desserts are also great! I had some kind of pot de crème, and it was delicious. Even though the mains and appetizers were very good, they're not sleeping on dessert! I definitely want to come back as I saw some pastas (like a campinelle) that I would love to try! read more

This restaurant has the worst service of any restaurant we have ever been to over 20 years of living in SF. It was so bad that we had to walk out on Mother's Day and get a different reservation because the hostess was so obnoxious and rude. read more

Decor is a little dark and moody, very romantic. I went here with a friend to celebrate her late bday dinner. We did the tasting menu. $105 per person and comes with 5 appetizers, 3 pasta courses, and dessert. We also started with an amuse bouche from the chef. The appetizers are all cold and raw fish/seafood. I liked all of them, but I think my favorite was halibut or amberjack. I forget which one. Normally I love scallops, but they put a little too much citrus on it for me to love. After seeing the appetizers, I was worried I wouldn't be full by the end of the meal. However, after eating the first pasta course which was a mushroom one, I started to get extremely full. My friend and I both could only take a couple bites of the other 2 pasta courses to save room, and we took those 2 courses to go. The pasta with anchovy was the least flavorful in my opinion, but it was ok. The mushroom had the most flavor. The duck carbonara was super rich and good, but since it was served last, we couldn't fully enjoy it in the restaurant. I did enjoy it the next day though! Chocolate budino for dessert was yummy. They also gave my friend a free ice cream for her birthday. The pacing of the food was great. Service was friendly and water glass was never empty. I would come back to try more pastas. I recommend the tasting menu for a first visit and then just ordering what you liked most for a second visit. Parking can be tough in this hood, we just took a car. Neighborhood nearby can be a little rowdy, they are right around the corner from El Farolito and the BART station. read more

Nice moody but lively vibe, a good date night spot! Friendly service as well. Unfortunately food did not quite hit the mark, had a stellar experience when they had first opened but quality has since declined. - got the crudo trio and it was not as fresh - fish texture was off. Scallops were good but the amberjack and halibut were a bit fishy - the pastas were good but nothing amazing for the price point - my favorite was actually the spaghetti with anchovy as it packed the most flavor. - the grilled strip loin from the large plate format was a little tough and could have used more creative flavors with the sauce read more

I came here with a group of girlfriends and we had a lovely dinner. We all have kids and this was a good dinner to have without the kids, though I'm sure they would have been welcome & allowed. Service was great, everything was smooth Cost came out to $83 total per person for 6 drinks (some nonalcoholic but they were similarly priced), 3 crudo, 2 starters, 3 pasta, and 1 large plate. All split between 6 people. Overall everything was tasty, no complaints, every dish people enjoyed. The pasta is on the al dente side. One of our diners was born and raised in Italy and she enjoyed this! DRINKS * Pink Ponche ($19) - 3.5 stars. Pretty well balanced, I was told this was the least sweet of the drinks but I found it a bit sweet! * Tropical Mojito ($18) - 4 stars. I traded my Pink Ponche for my friend's drink and I believe it was this one - served with crushed ice, refreshing, like a tart and well balanced juice. CRUDO * Crudo Chef's Selection of Three (I believe we got scallop, amberjack, and Tuna) - 4.5 stars. All the seafood was very fresh and subtly flavored. STARTERS * Heirloom carrots ($22) - 4 stars. * Broccoli Cesar ($21) - 4 stars PASTA * Cencioni ($29) - 4.5 stars. People really enjoyed this! * Spaghetti ($32) - 4 stars * Mafaldine ($29) - 5 stars. People really enjoyed this one as well. LARGE PLATES * Grilled Strip Loin ($55) - 4.5 stars DESSERT * Tiramisu (off-menu) - 4.5 stars. Very large bowl! Plenty to share between 6 of us. read more

Great and fancy restaurant. Made a reservation at 5:15pm on a Sunday and it was not packed at all. The ambiance was pretty nice and the food was good overall as well. We ordered the bluefin tuna, beef carpaccio, malfadine cacio e ova. I enjoyed the beef carpaccio the most for the meat mixed with additional greens and a crisp of the chips. My 2nd favorite was the malfadine. I thought it was quite peppery but had an interesting good texture. Pasta was uniquely cut as well. As for the bluefin tuna, it was good but I felt like not worth the price we paid. Moreover, I did feel like the pacing between dishes was very long. It felt like we were waiting 15-20 minutes for each dish and that was a little confusing to me since there was not that many people in the restaurant. read more

My dinner took place last Sunday and it was fantastic. I've passed by Itria many-a-times as it's literally a few steps from the 24th St BART Station. On a whim, decided to eat here on Sunday night and did a walk-in. Luckily, there were plenty seats at the bar with full menu service because they ran out of tables. Reservations highly encouraged. Ordered the scallops and oysters to share. Both were super delicious as the light sauces didn't overpower the natural taste of the seafood. Then came the salad, which was better than expected. I liked the light citris tang of the dressing and the greens were fresh/crisp. Shared the papadelle and the serving size was great for 2 people. The sauce was creamy and tasty over the pasta. The vibe at this restaurant is dim, but I was still able to see my dishes. Great place for a date night. They also have a set tasting menu, which is reasonably priced for the number of courses. That's what I'd like to try next, stay tuned for a review update. #14/2025 read more

Amazing food, good service, cozy and vibey restaurant. Love this spot! This is my second time here and I thoroughly enjoyed every dish. Make sure you make reservations, otherwise you'll likely have a wait or get turned away. The burrata with the balsamic glazed was delicious. The oysters were good, crudos and the penny pasta was also delicious. Can't wait to come back here. read more

A lovely Italian spot for date night / celebrating. They were on the Michelin guide which is pretty cool. We walked in with no rez on a Sunday night at 5pm. They didn't have any tables for us so we sat at the bar. No problem but throughout the night there were definitely 2 seat tables with no one sitting. We ordered the pasta crudo tasting menu which was $106 each & then got the focaccia & sake flight on the side. Price is a bit steep but you do leave full. The crudo was pretty good and fresh but I thought it was over seasoned & too much sauce covering the fish taste. The pastas were definitely the star of the show. Super al dente & flavor was on point. One of the dishes was extremely extremely salty so that was the only dish that wasn't great. I don't think I would come back just because there's so many places to try & this didn't wow me. But I do recommend the tasting menu for those who want to sample a bunch of dishes. read more

A vibey spot - I'd describe it as romantic and intimate. Staff was friendly and nice- helped us pick a bottle of wine. We made reservations and were seated quickly when we arrived. Food was nothing spectacular for the price. It was good. I felt like the cacio was nothing special. The papardelle was flavorful. It's all in the details. Had little crunchy things on it. We also got the crispy focaccia for appetizer. It was good, quite salty but I love the contrasting flavors. Thought panna cotta was really underwhelming. read more

Itria is located in the mission in a quite unnoticeable/unassuming section of the street. I would definitely recommend ubering here so you don't have to park honestly. The restaurants vibe is upscale. Their food is delicious. Loved the crudo platter. My favorite was the calamari pasta (one of their seasonal items) and their whole fish. The fish is sooo incredibly fluffy it's like eating a cloud. They do pay attention to the small things. They even printed out a special menu for my guests visiting for my bridal shower so make it so personal for us. One thing I would mention is that the drinks were not good. We ordered every single glass of wine that wasn't bottled & they weren't great. The cocktails were also all so sweet that I couldn't finish it. Other than that, a great time! read more

Came here for my friends birthday and was pretty underwhelmed overall. It's a very beautiful space, romantic and intimate, and sitting in the lively mission-sort of a hidden gem vibe as the area is pretty alive at night. Staff was very helpful and sweet, however I think the restaurant vibe itself was a tad pretentious feeling which I think I ended up finding a bit odd just cause the food wasn't anything special. Drinks: My friend got the yuzu cocktail ($19!!) which was teeny tiny and good but I feel like I could make something similar at home. My other friend and I got a glass of rosé which was good but nothing crazy. I found the drink list to be pretty expensive overall and not a lot of wine by the glass options. Focaccia and stracciatella: the focaccia definitely should've been warmed up. The anchovy garlic oil was the best thing, very flavorful. The stracciatella was pretty salty and I found to be lacking, especially considering it's homemade. Crudo: We got the the 3 person sampler, the chef selected the tuna, amber jack, and scallops for us. The scallops were really good, tuna was a close second, and amber jack fell short for me. Cacio e uova: Good but also tasted like something I could make at home. I liked the egg pecorino a lot, nice addition, but in its entirety, the flavor just wasn't anything crazy. Agnolotti: The corn definitely made this dish more interesting but it also didn't amaze me. Pretty sweet and not much else there for me. Panna Cotta: pretty disappointed with this one. Kind of tasted like a good yogurt parfait, definitely tasted pre-made. I think everything was slightly above average, hence the 3 stars. I don't think I'd come back here, especially because it was fairly expensive. With tip, we spent $210 on all this. Better Italian in the city for sure. If you're in the Mission, you should go to Bottega instead! read more

5 for Food and -1 for location. Amazing food. Way beyond expectations! Definitely my best 2025 San Francisco Food Discovery this year. Everything eaten was perfect and all super unique tastes. Came early on a Sunday night for a birthday and as I was driving I just had a bottle of sparkling water. First order was chef's selection of crudo. Scallops, Amberjack and Bluefin Tuna. The plate you see was $34. Double the size was $56. Wow. Amazing the Scallops were supposedly popular, but the other two were just as good if not better. The LETTUCES, CRISPY GARLIC, SUNFLOWER, PERSIAN CUCUMBER, OREGANO VINAIGRETTE salad was also amazing, with a nice vinaigrette and crunch that really reminded me of some of my favorite salads at Ernest. Then we shared four family style pastas: Cappalletti, Cencioni, Cavatelli, and Mafaldine, all twists on some trafitional dishes but excellent! The first two were on the lighter side and the last two were more heavy. Twist my arm and I will tell you the Cavatelli with the Duck Sugo was my favorite. We finished with the House Tiramisu which ithey only make a few of per night, a budino and an affogato. It was a very special birthday meal and well done. Now why only 4 stars? The star falls off because I want to give caution about the location. If you are a true Foodie, don't hesitate, but I wasn't the one who chose this restaurant (my daughter did) and was super cautious because we brought my 90+ mother along. The restaurant is beautiful and some say romantic (those with bad eyes might have to use their phones to read the menu in the dark) but the location is super sketch (and I've lived in Hells Kitchen and the South side of Chicago and felt safer) 24th St and Mission location is crowded by homeless, prostitutes who congregate around the Bart Station and McDonalds. After I dropped everyone off, i parked 3 blocks away (could have parked a couple blocks closer but didn't feel safe. On the way in I was propositioned by a hooker 2 doors down from the restaurant and on the way out there were people doing meth and crack just 10 feet away from the front door. Again having grown up in urban environments, i can deal, but I highly recommend taking an Uber and not bringing any minors or seniors. All Itria is a can't miss destination for Foodies that would do even better just three blocks west in Lower Noe, or any other more chic neighborhoods around the City. read more

The staff took 5-10 minutes to both get us settled with water and to take our orders, but we were seated quickly and the restaurant did seem pretty busy when we first arrived. It gives date-spot vibes with a mix of contemporary-natural interior decor. We were initially pretty disappointed by the pappardelle; it came out lukewarm. I'm not sure if it's because the sauce was prepared cold or the dish was left on the counter too long, but I thought this was odd as I've never been served pasta just 'warm'. That said, the pappardelle sauce was rich with generous butter and garlic. The pork belly crocchette was amazing -- crispy, umami-rich, with a light tanginess. The aioli had just the right heat. Likewise, the pork coppa sauce had a balance between citrus and the sweet freshness of nectarines, stone fruit, and some earthy beans. The pork itself had a nice smoky char while not being dry at all. It did take about 45 minutes from ordering for us to get the dish, but I highly recommend. All in all, we had a good dining experience and I'd love to give the crudo a try next time. read more

By far one of the best pasta spots I've had in a while! I came here with a coworker at 8pm on a Wednesday and got a seat no problem! The vibes are rustic, yet you feel like you're eating in a restaurant in Brooklyn. We ordered the bluefin tuna to start -- honestly wasn't that impressed with the dish. There was a really distinct flavor we couldn't quite pin point that we didn't love. Salad -- absolutely amazing! It was Asian style and was HUGE! Would def come back just for this! Tortellini -- the star of the show!! The pasta was cooked to perfection and the flavors were so yummy! I haven't enjoyed a pasta dish this much in a really long time. read more

I came for valentine's day weekend and tried their chef tasting menu which was $120 per person for a 9 course meal. The tasting menu allowed us to try a variety of items with the Cencioni being me and my partner's favorite dish of the menu. However, I felt that the tasting menu was a bit pricey. If I were to come again, I would order a la carte. Can't speak on service as there was not much interactions or check ins besides dropping off food/taking away our plates after each course. Ambience inside was elegant and classy, great for date nights. I highly suggest getting dropped off or ubering here as there is barely parking and surrounding area is a bit complicated. read more

Went to Itria and immediately loved the decor, natural wood tones, and architecture of the restaurant. The staff was very knowledgeable and also gave us complimentary sparkling wine since we were celebrating a special occasion. Tried the chefs tasting menu and it was immaculate. Each dish was a perfect combination of texture and flavor and the progression was well thought out. The fish was high quality and never before have I been served 3 large portion pastas for a tasting menu but boy was I glad. You will definitely walk away feeling full so save space for this experience! Also definitely order the rosemary bread to pair with the pastas. For sure coming back to try dishes off their standard menu or for another celebration! read more

The most amazing pasta restaurant I've eaten at recently is in San Francisco's Mission District, in a kind of sketchy area, but the vibe inside the restaurant is super cozy~ We ordered three different types of crudo. The Hokkaido scallops were incredibly fresh, with lemon and crispy flatbread adding great texture. The halibut came with grapes and a crunchy breadcrumb topping, and the raw tuna was paired with green onion salt. Each one tasted completely unique and so special! For mains, we got three different pastas. The first was their signature vegetarian pasta with five types of mushrooms. The round pasta was super chewy, and the rich, mushroomy sauce was unforgettable~ The second was a classic squid tomato pasta, with a tangy, slightly spicy sauce and a clever twist where you could barely tell the squid from the pasta--I loved it! It was topped with black squid-flavored crispy bits! The last one was a less common duck pasta. Unlike other places that use duck in a meat sauce, this had tender, shredded duck leg meat. Compared to the other two, this one had a heavier, richer flavor. read more

Getting a reservation to Itria was fairly easy for a table of 5, when booked a couple of weeks ahead! We got there right at opening for an early dinner and we were glad, because this place got busy an hour or so later! The interior is dark and has ambiance lighting, making it a nice date spot if you're interested. My group opted for the chefs tasting menu. We enjoyed a few of the dishes and thought the price was reasonable for the amount of food we got! 3 pasta dishes were included and we were so full after. The raw fish platter was tasty. The fish tasted fresh and was very tender- melt in your mouth. The pastas were decent, just a bit too salty in my opinion. My favorite was the panna cotta! Smooth and creamy, the tartness from the berries helped balance out the flavors. Staff were also very friendly and knowledgeable about each dish. They were also very fast at cleaning our tables and preparing for the next dish! Overall, if you're in the area, I'd give this place a try if you're craving some Asian/italian fusion dishes. read more

Itria has been highly recommended to me by friend and publication alike. So I went in with high expectations that frankly were not met. Itria is a restaurant with undeniable strengths that nonetheless struggles to justify its premium pricing. The ambiance deserves praise, as it was elegant yet approacahble, with a lovely soundtrack throughout the night. Service was attentive, but lacked the exceptional touches to elevate it to a more memorable status. My party opted for the a la carte experiencing, and ordered a swathe of dishes including the chef's pick of crudo, foccacia, 4 pastas, and lamb belly. Rosemary Focaccia: Amazing focaccia. Soft, chewy, and perfumed with rosemary without becoming overwhelming. The garlic-anchovy oil added a rich savory depth that transformed each bite into something extraordinary. Bluefin Tuna Crudo: My least favorite of the crudos. The bluefin tuna was quality. Unfortunately, the dressing left a lot to be desired. The pickled green tomato overwhelms with an unexpected sweetness that masks rather than complements the tuna's natural flavor. Hokkaido Scallop Crudo: My favorite of the crudos. The preserved lemon brightened the dish, and the sea beans made for an excellent textural contrast and subtle brininess against the buttery and delicate scallops. Amberjack Crudo: A dish with significant culinary pretentions, that somewhat executes. The acqua pazza shows potential but lacks restraint, its intensity trouncing over the amberjack. However, the fennel was not welcome. It's stringy texture did the dish no favors. Maltagliati: A stunning showcase of succulent dungeness crab. The crab's slight sweetness was tempered well with the meyer lemons. The crisp garnish gave each bite textural intrigue. The chives also provided subtle allium notes that completed the dish. Tortellini: A poor showing of exceptional ingredients. While all the individual components may have shined brighter in a different dish, together they form a rudimentary whole. The pea leaf pesto overwhelms the potato filling and all else. Tria: Another example of wasted potential. While the dish was overall satisfactory, the ingredients failed to come together to make a cohesive whole. The crispy garnish was more of a distraction than an addition Malfadine Cacio E Uova; My favorite of the pastas. Simple elegance. Peppery and rich from the egg. Lamb Belly: While the lamb was cooked well and tender with rendered fat, once again the accompaniments failed to deliver. The plating felt uninspired and lazy as well. The bread felt unwarranted, the horseradish was far too sharp for the date mostarda, and the lettuce was was slightly acrid and in a sorry soggy state. read more

A neighborhood gem tucked in the lively and chaotic feeling mission neighborhood. This narrow restaurant has an intimate feel with hints of Japanese influence in a heavily pasta and Italian menu. Crudos and sake to choose from. But the stars are the steaming hot and tasty pastas. We had the tuna crudo which was ok but tiny portions and honestly I'd rather have a tuna tartare. The broccoli Caesar was good with lots of flavors in the sauce/dressing. Next time I might go for the salad that got great reviews. What we enjoyed most was the duck pasta and the cacio e Pepe pasta. Both were excellent. Service was great with new silverware and plates although a little abrupt as if they were rushing to get things cleared for the next. Overall if you can get past some of the gritty neighborhood this place is one of our favorites read more

Was able to snag a reservation for this place for valentines dinner. Unfortunately, a 5:15 PM reservation and for the day after Valentine's Day. This place has been on my to try list for about 2 years now and finally had the chance to try it. I think this place mainly specializes in pasta and crudo? We opted for the tasting menu for 120pp since it was a special occasion and gives us an opportunity to try a little bit of everything. Trout roe pudding (3/5): This dish was a chef compliment that was not part of the tasting menu, but the chef gave us each one to try. It tasted like the spread of a bagel. The roe was very salty and fish, but smoky at the same time. The pudding part tasted very light and sour, almost similar to a yogurt. Miyagi oyster (3/5): This oyster came with an apple piece. I thought the apple over took the flavors of the oyster Hokkaido scallop crudo (4/5): Came with their crunchy thing and marinated with citrus. I loved how the citrus brought out the flavors of the scallop. The scallop was very soft. Striped bass (5/5): this dish had some nuts over it. I really liked how it wasn't too soft and the soft texture balanced with the nuts. Ambjack (5/5); This one was my favorite crudo. It came with a tangerine. I thought the amberjack had the perfect crudo taste. It was tender but bursting with flavor. Smoked octopus rigatoni (2/5): I was really excited about this dish because I love octopus, but I was disappointed by this dish. It tasted like a typical tomato pasta. In addition the pasta tasted undercooked as it was pretty though and the octopus was hard too as I expected it to be tender. Cencioni (5/5): Now this dish blew my mind. The ravioli shaped pasta was filled mushroom and combined with such powerful flavor. Black Truffle Tagliattelle (3/5): This dish is the truffle pasta but with truffle shavings. It was my first time having actually truffle and I thought it was okay. This dish was a bit too heavy for me, especially with the creamy sauce. das Chocolate Budino (5/5): I'm not a chocolate fan, so I thought it was okay; but definitely recommend this for chocolate lovers. It comes in this individual container. It was like a chocolate putting with a refreshing taste. Overall I recommend the tasting menu if you want to try a bit of everything. But if I go next time, I'd rather get the a La carte. read more

My Valentine's Day date dinner! We were promptly seated at the bar when we arrived for our 7pm reservation. The tiny place was packed (granted it was Valentine's) but service was still attentive. We ordered the scallop crudo, broccolini, mushroom cencioni, and braised lamb belly to share between the both of us. The scallop crudo was my favorite, albeit thin but so flavorful. Broccolini was good but not outstanding. Mushroom cencioni was delicious and I especially liked the crunchy breadcrumb-like topping. The braised lamb was so tender but the sauce was a bit overwhelming. The horseradish-like sauce dollops on the plate were most necessary to enjoy the dish. Overall, a great place for date night or girls' night out. I'm more interested in trying more of their variety of crudos. read more

My fiancé and I have been to Itria more than a dozen times... more than any other restaurant in SF. Why? First, service is always excellent. The servers know the exact right time to check in on us, refill our wine/water glasses, and bring out our food. What's even more impressive is how we've had the same servers for years... such a rarity in SF!! They recognize us every time and even remember our specific preferences/orders. All in all, unparalleled hospitality. Second, the food quality is amazing. Whether it's their crudos, appetizers, pastas, or desserts, you can tell that everything is made with the freshest ingredients. Case in point... I don't eat seafood at all (I can't stand the smell), but even I enjoy their crudos. Third, the dishes are so innovative... yet approachable! They are somehow able to use the most simple ingredients - but pair them together in such creative ways - to make some of the best appetizers and pastas I've ever had. Whether it's crunchy, sweet, savory, or spicy, they do such a seamless job of combining multiple elements into one dish. For instance, tonight I tried their seasonal appetizer, which was a "crochette di patte with roast pork belly". My god... I am still shocked at how they essentially created a Japanese pork katsu potato croquette, paired with sweet pears and a spicy aioli sauce. Moreover, it was better than any Japanese pork katsu I've ever had. And my goodness... their pastas. They manage to blow me away with the flavors and perfectly al dente pasta every single time. Fourth, the ambiance is trendy, modern, and romantic - great for a date night. It's impressive that the noise level strikes the perfect balance between "lively enough for a Friday night" and "intimate enough to have a deep conversation". Lastly, dessert will blow your mind. You can't go wrong with any of their desserts... but if you're a tiramisu lover and have never tried Itria's tiramisu, you are missing out on life. Trust me. It is better than any tiramisu I've ever had in Italy. read more

Another hyped place that was ...ok. Went with oysters, blue fin tuna and scallops, the burrata with dried eggplant and the papperdelle. Overall, the food was ok. The oysters were great but the tuna wasn't that fresh. The pasta was a little too Al dente for me. Overall..meh. read more

Came in on a Sunday evening at 6:15pm with reservations. Thank god I had reservations because it was quite busy. Bluefin Tuna w/ quince vinegar, Serrano and roasted onions: 3/5, an average dish that didn't have much flavor to it. Miyagi Oysters w/ apple, horse radish, Pickle mustard seed: 5/5 The apple was a good touch, it added some sweetness. The horse radish and pickle mustard seed was very light. The oysters were definitely tasty though. Rigatoni Pasta: 2/5 Decent pasta that had some meat, a bit too salty though. Portion was small! Cencioni Pasta: 3/5 Average mushroom pasta. At least it was more filling than the rigatoni. Chocolate Budino: 4/5 Rich creamy and chocolatey of course. Can't go wrong with this dessert. Unfortunately I feel like I left hungry despite paying about $180 for the bill. read more

TLDR: This is a really nice place for a date night or night out with the girls, but you will need to get a reservation to ensure you get a table. We were able to get seated as a walk in at the bar, but sitting across with 4-5 people isn't ideal for conversations. We arrived right when they opened around 5pm. The food was delicious and had nice flavor profiles, but was expensive for the portion size. But if you don't care about that, then this is a great spot. Food: 4/5 We ordered the cencioni, rigatoni, and mafaldine pastas. I think of the 3, my favorite was the mafaldine as it had a very nice blend of creamy and black pepper flavors. If you like a creamy pasta like an alfredo, this is the best option. The cencioni reminded me of a beef stroganoff, so if that's your vibe it's a cleaner and almost fancier version of it. The rigatoni was my least favorite because there really wasn't anything special about it. It was kind of just like a spicy marinara sauce. I know it's common for portion size to be small for these types of restaurants, but it's really not a place that will be filling without breaking the bank kind of place. This is also coming from a fairly broke grad student who wanted to splurge lol, so keep that in mind. I was still quite hungry after so I had to grab a snack and boba afterwards. Staff/Service: 5/5 For the most part the staff seemed nice, our water glasses were always filled, but other than that no one really checked in on us until the end for the check/clean up. Space: 4/5 It's a very aesthetic and clean space, but not a whole ton of seats inside. It was fairly loud, could barely hear the person next to me. Parking was nonexistent, but that's mainly because SF in general doesn't have any parking anywhere. read more

We came here for dinner on New Year's Eve. They had a special tasting menu. We wanted to try a variety of different items so we both got that and paired it with their recommended drinks as well. Everything on the menu was so well thought out - the flavors, the presentation, and the pairings. We were so impressed! In addition, the staff was great and the ambiance was nice. Perfect for a date night. We had such a great time and would love to come back again to try other items. Hats off to the chef!! read more

Amazing service! Great crudo but the pasta was super mid... We did the tasting and it was decent but overpriced in my opinion. Decent amount of food and we were pretty full at the end :) Uni pasta had no uni??? it was just tomatoe. My favorite was the the bluefin tuna dish :) Maybe will come back to try their other items but not pasta ... read more
