    Caesar Salad
    Harleen P.

    The Brock Purdy pizza and Caesar salad were delicious! Service 10/10 The staff was super friendly and helpful in deciding what to order, as there are so many great options. Ambiance 10/10 Small and cozy place. Definitely recommend making a reservation, as it tends to get busy during dinner time. Will be back for the Wednesday combo special!

    Grabbed dinner here the other day. We all ordered pasta but different kinds. We got the Mussel Pasta $20, Pasta Tartufo $21 and Il Pesto Di Pistacchio $19. We also ordered some appetizers like the Meatballs $11 and the Steamed mussels $16. My overall favorite is the Pasta Tartufo, I love truffle and how creamy the sauce is with the pasta. I also loveeeee the steamed mussels, it was so fresh and we all enjoyed dipping the bread in the sauce.

    Quality Products Dining at Pink Onion in San Francisco's Mission District is an exceptional, high-value experience that flawlessly hits the mark for a memorable, "no-BS" casual fine dining night out. The intimate, urban-grungy space buzzes with a lively energy soundtracked by 2Pac and Pavarotti, creating a vibrant neighborhood vibe that immediately makes you feel welcome. While their legendary $60-$64 multi-course combo dinner steals the show with an incredibly generous spread of rich, decadent Pasta al Tartufo, a perfectly balanced "Hotboy" pizza with Mike's Hot Honey, and massive, fluffy tiramisu, the beverage game is equally elite. Beer enthusiasts will be thrilled to find Russian River's iconic Pliny the Elder on draft, pouring a fresh, crisp pour packed with citrus and pine notes that cuts beautifully through the rich comfort food. Between the attentive service, unmatched portions, and world-class double IPA on tap, Pink Onion elevates a simple pizza-and-pasta night into something special. Thanks

    Pesto pasta and Fungi pizza

    Very deciduous and great portions. I had the pesto pasta and mushroom pizza! Great pricing as well! Will be back soon :)

    Rigatoni with vodka sauce

    Small but lively ambiance inside. Whoever is on aux usually kills it. Great vibes and can't beat the $60 deal that they offer (Pizza, Pasta, App, Dessert for $60) Food: App: Avocado Salad is the only one I've had, I just keep getting it. It hits crazy if you are into balsamic glaze. Rigatoni vodka is a safe delicious option and won't disappoint. I'm looking forward to trying the pesto or truffle pasta next time. For pizza, I've had the Ike on fire and Patatacia. Both tasted incredibly fresh with the dough being noticeably fluffy/soft. And the servers are all really friendly and accommodating when it comes to the menu and wait time. There is typically a wait so get a quick reservation online before you go.

    Incredible ambiance, great vibes inside. They played indie music which was so fun. Didn't have a reservation when they opened on Saturday but still got a table in the corner. Staff are friendly and attentive, but also let us enjoy our own company., the right amount of service. The food is so good. -The truffle pasta tartufo blew me away. It was so creamy and wasn't overpowering with the truffle flavor. I think that was my favorite. -Brock Purdy pizza was fresh with the tomato sauce and ricotta. It was fluffy, doughy, & soft. -The Gotham pizza was cheesy, messy, and yummy with a regular crust.

    Parma e Burrata Plate
    Dikla S.

    We didn't have a reservation, but came on a Saturday night around 6:30pm. We were told there was a wait for an hour, but we were seated within 30 mins. Maybe it was luck, but recommend making a reservation beforehand. We did the combo meal of $60 and the food was delicious. We got the burrata and parm as an appetizer (still think about it), the spicy vodka rigatoni, the Ike pizza, and the cheesecake. It was a lot of food, but for a reasonable price! They played good music and everyone was having a time. Please note that the restaurant is small and locally owned, so keep that in mind. We were sat outside, so if you're sitting outside, plan to bring a warm sweater since they don't do outside heaters due to rules from the fire department.

    Burrata caprese

    Walked in at 4pm on a Friday right when they opened! No reservation, no problem. They seated us immediately, which was a great start. If you don't have a reservation, I recommend getting there early because the restaurant is small and has limited seating. The menu is refreshingly straightforward, and the $60 combo is absolutely the move: appetizer or salad, pasta, pizza, and dessert. We both ordered it without realizing we didn't have to but honestly, no regrets. We left with leftovers and full hearts. For the price, the portions are genuinely shocking in the best way. Service was friendly and fast throughout. No long waits, no awkward gaps, just a really smooth, enjoyable meal from start to finish. Here's everything we tried: Pink Onion Salad: Don't let the simplicity of "salad" fool you. This thing was massive and packed with great ingredients: romaine, goat cheese, toasted pecans, currants, fresh berries, and a blood orange vinaigrette that hit the perfect balance of tangy and sweet. A great way to start. Rigatoni Vodka: The undeniable star of the table. Nearly everyone around us had it, and one look at the photos online and I knew I had to order it -- no regrets. Super creamy with a subtle kick of spice that sneaks up on you in the best way. The portion was enormous. Get this! Rigatoni Amatriciana: Perfectly salted thanks to the guanciale, with a satisfying texture and pasta cooked to perfection. A more classic, comforting option that delivered on every level. Gotham Pizza: My personal favorite of the two pizzas. It's essentially a elevated pepperoni pizza, and the hot honey drizzle takes it somewhere unexpected and delicious. Simple but memorable. Magic Mushroom Pizza: Loaded with prosciutto and incredibly flavorful. This one was clearly popular -- we kept seeing it come out of the kitchen for tables around us, and for good reason. Tiramisu & Basque Cheesecake: Both desserts are generous enough to share between two people. The basque cheesecake was great, but the tiramisu was the standout! Perfectly sweet and less bitter than most, which is a hard balance to get right. Overall, an incredible value and a really enjoyable experience. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu, though the Rigatoni Vodka might just be a permanent order every time.

    First time at pink onion and it did not disappoint. All for the dished were great except the steamed mussels. While the flavor of the mussel broth was very unique we were thrown back by how many pieces of mussels that were not cleaned properly. A lot of them still had the beard attached making them hard to eat. We came on a Monday and they weren't crazy busy so we felt comfortable and not rushed with our meal. I didn't see my friend in a while so it was nice to catch up. Service was attentive and friendly.

    This place is such a vibe!!!! Very small restaurant and intimate table settings - can get pretty loud and it was admittedly pretty hard to hear each other but over the noise. But I liked how it gave off a very neighborhood comfy cozy feel. Gabe is the best! So attentive and gave us great suggestions from the menu. We really enjoyed the parma and burrata app and the nayalita pizza was SO good. Truffle pasta was delicious but very rich. Really nice thickness and chewiness of the crust. The complementary bread was also surprisingly delicious! It had a great chew. Can't go wrong with either the tiramisu or cheesecake. Both were great, just depends on what you're feeling. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Def try to go on a Wednesday - everything goes so much better with a bottle of wine:)

    Pasta Tartufo
    Tiffany Y.

    For the combo price at Pink Onion, this place is so worth it to come to. At $60, you can get a small pizza, pasta, appetizer or salad, and a dessert. It might not seem like a lot of food, but I've come here twice and it can comfortably feed 3 people! Last time, we were so full that we even took the dessert to go. If you also come on Wednesday, you get a free bottle of wine with the combo. When you come in, they give you some complimentary bread to eat with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We tried the pear and endive salad, patataccia pizza, and tartufo pasta, which were all delicious. The tartufo pasta was our favorite and we were using the truffle sauce for our pizza too. I've had the tiramisu and basque cheesecake desserts, which were both great. I bumped this review up to 5 stars because the service was so great. I went with a friend with a food allergy and they really went out of their way to check that everything was safe and offered to sub anything that didn't work. Definitely recommend coming here, but also be mindful of the area because it's not in the safest neighborhood!

    Sicilian Meatballs
    Brennan S.

    Pink Onion delivers on classic Italian flavor. Located in the lively Mission district in SF, Pink Onion offers a solid blend of Italian dishes in a comfortable, fast-casual setting. First, our service was great. Our waitress was really attentive and gave us a lot of information regarding the menu. A couple of my friends and I split the Combo Meal. Consisting of 1 pizza, 1 appetizer, 1 pasta, 1 dessert and 1 bottle of wine (only on Wednesday's! We went on Thursday). The food was absolutely delicious- and for the price: undeniabley worth it. First, the bread for the table was warm and fresh. The appetizer we chose were the Sicilian Meatballs. The meat was tender and the sauce was savory- with hints of rosemary. For pasta, we got the Pasta Al Tartufo. The creaminess of the parmesan cheese with the earthiness of the truffle shavings was delicious. For pizza, we opted for the Hotboy. Which is crushed tomato, fresh mozzarella. mikes hot honey and spicy sopresatta. It was fresh and the hot honey complimented the peppery sopresatta nicely. Lastly, we ordered the tiramisu for dessert. It was light, fluffy and had a decadent coffee-vanilla flavor, also ... the portion size was massive! So worth it. Pink Onion is amazing and I can't wait to go back.

    Vegetarian burrata and bread

    We came here on a Tuesday and had an amazing time! The combo is actually a great deal. The food was delicious and the ambiance was wonderful. Gabe was an absolutely fantastic server and took time to make sure we had a great time. 100% recommend!

    If you order take out on Wed, do they also give you a free bottle of wine?

    Yep, and delivery as well

    Curious what free bottle of wine is offered on Wednesdays?

    I think it's random. I think I got a Malbec last time.

    Is there gluten free pizza options?

    No

    What's the size difference between a small and a large?

    12 inch 6 slices small 14inch 8 slices large

    Is there a beer list anywhere?

    Google results show this list: Heineken 6.00… 

    Truffle bruschetta is one of the review highlights, but it doesn't look like it's on the menu on their website. Is it still available?

    From what I gather, it's a frequent special that they offer.

    Do they have something to offer to vegan people? :-)

    Of course they do ! Name it ! Eggplant ? Mushrooms? Tomatoes ? Garlic? Basil ? Olive Oil ?

We came for lunch on a Monday and ordered the Caesar salad, calamari, two pastas and the burrata salad, and every single dish was excellent.

It was one of those meals where everything just worked, and there wasn't a single dish that I wouldn't happily order again. The restaurant itself is also really cute, with a warm and lively atmosphere and charming interior decor. They have outdoor seating as well, which is a nice option when the weather is good. Dinner can get especially busy on Friday nights and weekends, but the energy is part of what makes this place fun. They stay open until midnight, so later in the evening it really starts to feel like a bit of a scene. I would highly recommend Bottega for both lunch and dinner. Great food, great atmosphere and a menu where you can order pretty much anything with confidence. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again and again.

One thing that could be improved was the pacing and explanation of the dishes. The food runners seemed rushed when describing each dish, and we often couldn't hear them clearly.

Amelia recommended one pasta dish per person in the party, to share family style (which ended up working well for us, since we also got three appetizers, and finished the meal with a small amount of yummy leftovers for tomorrow) so that's what we did, along with the starters... We got the "big juicy meatballs with tomato and pancetta," which were incredible; the bread was delicious and certainly is not just a side to the amazing (definitely juicy) herbed tender meatballs. I'd definitely get this again, along with the grilled zucchini with worm salt and mint, which was so flavorful and tasty. We also got the smokey romano beans with fire roasted tomato, which was also really good but just keep in mind the emphasis on the smokey flavor! It wasn't my cup of tea but that's for sure a personal thing. For pastas, I'd rank them in this order: 1. our favorite was today's lasagna du jour, which was mushroom! So delicious, with a crispy cheesy crust, soft tender interior, and an almost caramelized tomato sauce accompanying. 2. Reginette with pork sugo (meat sauce) and spicy turnip greens was next, which had wonderful flavor with the tomato-based sauce and pieces of pork but if you like it slightly softer texture it might not be for you (same with the fusilli; the go-to preparation is aldente!). 3. Fusilli alla vodka with tomato, calabrian chili, cream, basil, and added garlic butter shrimps; this one's sauce felt a little underwhelming and more watery than creamy, and I'm just now realizing that although the menu said four garlic butter shrimp (an extra $7), we only got three. I think I'd come back for the lasagna and/or to buy the pasta from their expansive stock, cook it a bit longer, and serve it covered in a decadent creamy sauce.

My boyfriend and I sat at the bar and our bartender was very attentive without being overbearing and very knowledgeable--he gave thorough, detailed descriptions and recommendations on the wine list and the food menu (beyond what I would've expected). He even replaced my water and apologized after realizing he poured it to the brim, which really wasn't an issue but I appreciated his correction anyway. We ordered the side of wood grilled corn to start, I ordered the malfadine al limone pasta and my boyfriend ordered the spaghetti pomodoro. The wood grilled corn had a nice char to it and we enjoyed the accompanying sauce and cheese on top; however, based on the menu description I was expecting a little more of a Calabrian chili flavor / kick. The pomodoro was good but nothing to write home about, and the malfadine was a bit of a surprise / the highlight! I enjoyed the curly pasta texture and loved the lightness of the sauce paired with the salt flavor and complexity of the salmon roe on top. We love a good dessert but nothing caught our eye on the menu this time, as we don't prefer the soft, creamy desserts like panna cotta (as opposed to something more tangible like a cannoli). Lastly, we also had the following glasses of wine: Verdecchio, Verdeca, Montepulciano, and the Carignan Blend. As someone that loves crisp white wines with high acidity and minerality, I loved the Verdecchio. The Verdeca was refreshing but too light and not fruit forward enough for my preference. We both liked the Carignan, as we like deeper berry flavors, and the Montepulciano was OK (didn't love but didn't dislike). Would definitely love to come back and try some of the other wine varieties and menu options!

    I bought out Arcana for a night and it was a hit! The plants and decor are lush. It feels like…read moreyou've left San Francisco and entered a jungle. I love the wood tables and the steps that lead you to a private room upstairs. The space is amazing and attendees loved it. They have a photo booth too. Staff are wonderful! Thank you, Naz and Ife! Amazing bartenders. They were so friendly, attentive, and personable. Many attendees said they came to the event particularly because they love Arcana. It's conveniently located near BART and multiple bus lines and some Lyft bike docks. I cannot recommend Arcana enough! It's great for date night, girls' night, corporate meetups, and more. It's welcoming and inclusive and the food and drinks are delicious and strong. Will be back!

    Clearly says 9:30pm for the cover/ticket charge. I am uploading this at 9:19pm, but the whole…read moreinteraction started maybe 10 minutes prior. Charging the $10 event fee on discretion before the posted event start time seems... shady? illegal? My two friends got in a few minutes before with no cover. I was dealing with a bike lock while they went in. We were not there for the event but rather as volunteers from the weekly cleanup refuse crew in the Mission. You get perks as a thank-you for doing your part in making the City a cleaner place. We had just had a lovely time at another participating business (Beehive) and planned on Arcana being our final stop. Thankfully I was able to use the restroom without a fee, with my gear held up outside by the security team. While waiting in the restroom line, I told a staff member about all this, and the worker seemingly went up to the front to find out what's going on. The line took a few minutes, my friends also bumped into me, and I told them I'd likely wait for them outside the business post-restroom while they finished their wine. Already reported to the Mayor's Office. Maybe I'll add BBB. Should be honest and equitable! Four out of 200+ reviews by me have been one star, so I rarely share negativity. It's all rather unfortunate as other visits here went off without an issue. I warned a group of four about all this while I waited out front, and after talking to the front door folks, they left and thanked me for the advice. Please be careful if you visit here. . . .
