    I ate my meal, I forgot to take a photo!  But this was the dessert, a yummy mousse and fresh cookie!

    OMG! Everything was so delicious, I highly recommend this wonderful Bodega! I had the turkey avo sandwiches ch on focaccia bread, so good and fresh!

    Sandwich

    Really appreciated them making my sandwich to go when this is a sit down place. The sandwich was pretty solid.

    Pork belly sandwich. Yuuuuummmm!
    Shawn B.

    This is my second time back and I ordered the recommended pork belly sandwich again cause it was so delicious and the service along with the espresso while waiting is definitely worth writing another report. The restaurant inside is very beautiful and a lot of Culture along with tasty treats for the holidays as gifts.

    Delicious hot sandwiches- we ordered the pork belly and serving was big. It can be shared . Eva is so nice and attentive . My son said Isaac beer was good. They also have a store where you can buy Italian grocery food items. We were seated in the patio area and it was a beautiful day to be out. They offer outdoor heating if needed. Definitely will come back next time when I am in the area .

    Great food, vine and beer. We had marinated olives (olive Della casa) mare chiaro pizza, eggplant (parm affair), chicken sandwich (testa di rapa), lasagneta Ferraris. Vine was Nero d'Avola. Everything was exquisite. Service is like you are only customer. Very personal.

    My boyfriend had the best homemade lasagna here he loved it. My veggie sandwich was too salty. The salad was fresh. There's not enough vegan options for me. It was a one woman show. Our waitress was amazing and so sweet. She was handling 6 tables by herself.

    Hi Maria Porchetta Panini

    I love the food!! So tasty I'll def come back again. The outdoor patio has a casual vibe, and it's lovely to hear ppl's chats abt how much they enjoyed this place. The server was also super sweet! She even gave me a piece of free chocolate cookie afterwards

    The Boca Rossa was so sub par and I've had many good ones before.

    This mediocre sandwich was $19...the lady was super rude too. Skip this place it isn't worth it.

    10/10 recommend Service is always incredible and the food is great!! I always get a focaccia sandwich and a sweet treat As close to Italy as you can get in SB

    Hi! Maria porchetta
    Diana L.

    Ooohhhh the sandwiches are mouthwatering delicious. My mouth is salivating just as I write and think about those sandwiches. Located on Victoria, a mini escape to Italy where you can take some supplies home and eat lunch and have a cocktail or coffee or both. The hi Maria porchetta has tender pork belly with each bite never missing a beat of flavor. They have a variety of artisanal Italian beers to choose from as well as cocktails. The appetizers are generous portion. The ollieve de la casa is basically olives with garlic that you can spread on toasted bread. I recommend adding the spicy oil. Overall the ambiance is nice- outside seating mainly, and the service is friendly. Just be patient as usually it is only one person taking the orders and bringing the food to the table.

    Betto salad

    Reminded me of home. We shared the Capocollo sandwich and the Betto salad. It was true and authentic and the flavours were *chefs kiss!* Service was absolutely amazing and the setting was quiet, cute and secluded but close. We will be going back.

    Menu

    Absolutely deeeeeeeelish. I went during a lunch rush and opted for takeout and while I was sitting waiting for my food the woman working reminded me of an auntie or something the way she fussed over my standing and demanded I take a seat and relax while I waited (I was waiting against the wall). It made me chuckle. I got a sandwich and those crispy potatoes. The sandwich was next level. So fresh and delicious and clean and to the point! The potatoes were okay, honestly it was my mistake getting crispy potato's to go and letting them sit in the container to get a little soft on the drive home. They are definitely made to be eaten there as soon as they come out of the kitchen but truly the sandwich was so great. I wanted to go again before I left town and didn't have time but would seriously consider the 4 hour drive back to SB just to get one and have a quick overnight trip.

    Hi, Maria! Porchetta. Yes, that is its name
    Jenn W.

    Two visits here and my review hasn't changed. I'd definitely come back for no frills Italian food and you can enjoy it on the patio while watching the world go by. Location: On State Street that had pedestrian only traffic allowed. Parking are in nearby streets or parking lots located behind the buildings (first 75 inutes are free). Food: The Valtellina was a bit on the salty side, but tasty and filling. The arancini is pork meat surround by potato, shaped into a cone and fried. Iliked this one and wish I had gotten more than 2. The Hi! Maria Porchetta sandwhich was porky, fatty and oh-so delicious. Definitely one to get again. Summary: This is a low key cafe like place located in a patio-like setting on State Street. Although the same owners as the other Olio's located around it, this one is casual and not pretentious. The food here is awesome and the store inside is like stepping into an Italian local market store in a small town in Italy. You can get your food to go or you can sit and eat in the patio right in front of the shop. Been here twice and can't agree with the 1 star review. Service was attentive, polite and personable. Both times I've received excellent service. Happy eating!!

    The paper had stuck to the potatoes to where it was inedible. Very unfortunate.

Live in SF now and nothing can compare, not even in North Beach. Spent my birthday weekend in SB and had to stop here. Got my favorite dish, the farfalle allegria, which was amazing and just how I remembered it. Service is always so wonderful. Our server, Tasha, was so kind and sweet. You can't go wrong with any of the dishes here. Must get the tiramisu! Hope to be back soon!

    Italian was on the menu tonight and Yelp brought us here…read more Via Maestro 42 has a small interior mostly made up of two top tables, and then an outside covered area within the parking lot. On this fine March evening, we opted to sit outdoors. I was concerned with how much lighting there would be once the sun set but they didn't really have any four tops available inside for us. (In the end, the interior lights from the neighboring business helped illuminate our table that was directly in front of the restaurant, and not necessarily under the outside covered area.) After we put in our order and received the complimentary bread (with the provided olive oil), we were questioning whether we had ordered too much food. We attempted to ask the waiter if it was too much and he didn't really answer our question. And since there was only one table next to us and he was dining solo, it was hard to gauge the portion sizes. We ordered: * Antipasto Sampler Platter $19.95 - A generous selection from their deli case, perfect for sharing. The butter bean with tuna salad was a first for me and has me thinking of how to incorporate more butter beans in my diet. Other items included grilled zucchini, grilled eggplant, mixed olives, farro salad, green beans, salami, tomato and mozzarella. * Bucatini all'Amatriciana $22.95 - We opted for this as it was a described as a traditional dish from he Lazio region. It was enjoyed by all. * Linguine con Vongole $26.95 - Next to arrive was the linguine, which was the absolute favorite for us all. It was light, filled with clams, and just had a great taste overall. * Farfalle al Pesto $19.95 - The Little Gal wanted pesto, but this version was so heavy. It was exhausting to eat and probably our least favorite. * Polenta Del Montanaro $21.95 - The mushrooms and polenta sounded amazing, but again this was very heavy for us. There were also a few hard bits of polenta mixed in. It was just overwhelming in not the best way. Overall, the portions are HUGE and just perfect for sharing. We would have dreaded being stuck with one dish on our own as it's just too much. We were also concerned about the $3.95 split charge fee that may apply, hence why we went with four entrees. You can easily get your fill with a few items here without breaking the bank. I can definitely see why they have such great ratings. The restroom is located in the back, so you do need to walk outside to access the restroom. I guess this avoids having you walk through the kitchen to get there. Service was fine. We did have one primary waiter but the other staff stepped in when necessary. It was pretty busy for a weekday evening, at least for all the outside tables. Since it's a bit away from the touristy area, you do get a sense there are more locals enjoying this spot.

It is a small space so we were seated very close to two other tables (the kind of close where it's hard to focus on your own convo). We ordered the Caesar Salad to start. I feel like I've had this exact salad (as in gem lettuce, breadcrumbs, lemony dressing) other places executed a little better. The breadcrumbs were almost too hard creating a grainy/sandy texture rather than a nice crunch. Good flavor though. We also got the Meatballs "Alla Vodka." This was the highlight of the meal for me. My husband thought they could've used more of a binder but personally I liked that they felt more meaty than bready. I recommend using the spoon to eat the meatballs so you get enough sauce with each bite. Don't want any of that delicious sauce to go to waste! We got the pepperoni pizza for our entree. This pizza was just okay to me based on my personal preferences so take this with a grain of salt! I'm not the biggest sourdough person and since the pizza is fermented it has a similar flavor. I also wish that the pizza was a little less charred. I think it was more burnt on top than charred but maybe that's what they're going for and I'm just not the audience. We enjoyed the pepperoni pizza with the house ranch. I really enjoyed this bc I prefer a dill-heavy ranch and this definitely delivered that! Overall, solid meal and would come back. Our server was a little awkward but didn't really affect our experience all that much.
