I'll be honest, the experience was really nice. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs which was awesome. The service was fast and respectful. It's a nice looking restaurant and that appears to be in the lobby of the Marker hotel. I would definitely return..., read more

This restaurant was down the street from our hotel and as I was walking by it caught my eye so we stopped in for some dessert and a night cap. We decided to sit at the bar and the bartender was super attentive and friendly. They had a projector playing an old black/white Italian classic featuring Sophia Loren. Pretty cool ambiance for a little date night. Best Tiramisu I've ever had and the donuts were just as delicious! read more

Friendly server! I believe he was from Brazil and he brought lots of lovely energy. The food was excellent and the space is great for medium sized parties (5-6ppl). Pasta was freshly made. I ordered the gnocchi and seeing each piece is unique from the other truly elevates the experience knowing the time someone took to craft them. read more

This restaurant is in the hotel lobby (The Market). I ordered pizza to my room but they don't deliver, so I had to go down to grab it. The pizza was ready sooner than they estimated, the person taking my order was friendly and let me know that it would be easier for him to call my hotel room when it was ready instead of my cell phone. That felt kind of weird but I went along with it (almost have a black belt). The pizza itself was just okay. The crust could have been cooked a little longer but overall it did the job. read more

Tratto - Margharita pizza - Italian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Food was mediocre unlike past visits (and was told they had a new chef). The real crime came when I paid my bill. The bill included a 20% service charge which was fine by me but when I got the final receipt to sign they actually had a check boxes to add a "tip" and the. boxes were 18,20 and 25%. If that is what they were asking above the 20% service charge what the heck is the service charge for. To me it seemed like a scam to rip off unsuspecting customers and people who don't read their bill. Let the buyer beware. A restaurant that used to have great food now has mediocre food and is resorting to boosting revenue by trying to trick customers into giving a 40 plus percent tip. read more

The pizza with mushroom is extremely good, so good in fact we returned exactly a week later on our date night to order it again. Second time around we got the cannelloni as well. The cannelloni was delicious and the lemon gave it a nice brightness. We always get great service here and the new owner even came by to see how we were liking our food. Definitely recommend! read more

Tratto - Cannelloni and the mushroom pizza - Italian Near Me - San Francisco, California

We don't want to push our ideas on to customers, we simply want to make and be what they want. That's the impression sui generis Tratto's setting, food and drink left with me. San Francisco cousins invited us to join their family for a meal at Tratto. I hadn't been to this restaurant in years. It's located inside The Marker San Francisco, managed by super hip Joie de Vivre Hotels, a newly renovated Beaux-Arts style pet-friendly Boutique hotel located close to world-famous Union Square. It's characterized by familiar use of historic forms, rich decorative detail and monumental conception in architecture of French neoclassicism with a dash of Gothic and Renaissance elements for flair. Originally built in 1910. Excepting Chicago and New York there is no other city in America which has so many magnificent hotels as San Francisco. Make reservations as Tratto was busy We were adequately greeted upon arrival Re-conceptualized in 2016 by Puccini Group, setting and décor are traditional old luxe interior design with a high level of attention to detail which I very much liked. The design of Tratto delivers big on comfort, quality, magnificence, sense of proportion, class, creativity, inspiration, indulgence, warmth, elegance, and sophistication. Tratto is a well thought out plan of layout that is functional as much as aesthetical. Their menu was nicely varied and not overwhelming in size We had Family Style: House wine, and is was satisfactory Bruschetta; prosciutto, burrata, sun-dried tomato, basil, Kalamata olives Fritto Misto Italian Sausage Risotto Beef Meatballs & Polenta; Marinara, white polenta Prosciutto Pizza Sorbet Gelato Panna Cotta No complaints about the setting, food or drink. Tratto's food was fresh, yummy and beautifully presented. Their food is much more American Italian and Southern Italian than Northern Italian. Their panna cotta, which is Northern Italian, a classic Piemontese dessert, was perfect. It was silky smooth and just firm with a gentle wobble, that looks appealing and tastes luxurious. I put my spoon into that lovely creamy panna cotta, then take a small amount up to slowly oh so slowly savor; then repeat. Ummmmmm um. Noisy not in a negative way. More like a loving-family kitchen way. Their prices are average This business appeared clean You go through the hotel's magnificent lobby to use the restrooms Clientele was an eclectic mixture of tourists and locals composed of singles, couples and families with children of all ages. Most people there were dressed up or had made an effort to dress up. Those that hadn't conspicuously stood out. Customer service was sorta adequate. Not bad, just sorta adequate. I would've rated 'em a High 5 Perfect 5 Star but for the sorta customer service which was not quite up to the magnificent setting and such high quality of the food and drink and presentation. Based on the outstanding setting and excellent food and its presentation I reasonably expected hospitality with impeccable customer service, pampering and a wow factor to match. Tratto translates from Italian to English as stretch, characteristic, feature, stroke, taken, based, or drawn out. The owners of this business like their Freedom so they have a Military and Veterans Discount as a thank you to Veterans with a publicly disclosed daily Veteran Discount which provides resource to ensure Veterans (rare 7% of the population) and GIs (rare one-half of one percent of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream Veterans and GIs' sacrifices have made possible for 100% of the population. That's what earned them the fourth star. I'll be back Annually, Better Business Communication Day is observed on the fourth Monday of January. The date this year is today, 23 January. A business' customers who feel that business communicates well with them by being known and appreciated by the places they shop will be more likely to return in the future. Businesses that understand the importance of communication with their customers require their employees call customers by their names, and ask customers their names if employees doesn't know. I reasonably want business: To use my formal name and not assume a nickname. When a customer enters your business, immediately smile and walk up to the customer if you can, if you can't, smile and call out "Hello" to the customer, introduce yourself to the customer with your name, welcome the customer to the business, and ask the customer how you can help them or that you will soon be with them. When calling, emailing or writing a customer, an employee immediately introduce themselves to the customer. Say, "This is (insert name of business). My name is (insert employee name). I'm contacting you to (insert reason)" Listen intently to the customer. When a customer is leaving your business, always say, "Thank you, for visiting (insert name of business). Please come back soon." read more

Tratto - I recommend. HAS Military Veteran Discount. - Italian Near Me - San Francisco, California

The pizzas are worth trying. The italian sausage pizza had a unique onion jam and was a good combo of savory and a touch of sweetness. The burger was the biggest bang for your buck. It was filling and even without fries, you'll walk away full. The ketchup had an odd taste as it was more sour than sweet. Overall, this was worth trying out. If I was in the area, I would come back and try other items on the menu. read more

If I could I would leave a negative star. I went to the restaurant yesterday evening sat at the bar. It took me 15 minutes, just to even order a cocktail. When they finally acknowledged me, they asked me if I even ordered yet. My answer was no because nobody even said hi to me or even acknowledged me. I ordered a drink. They didn't even ask if I wanted to order food which I would've because that's why I came. The gentleman sitting next to me no one acknowledged him for 20 minutes. He finally received his dessert. He was eating his dessert with a knife because they didn't give him a spoon. I had to tell him no no let me get you a spoon. I asked two bartenders for a spoon. One bartender handed me a spoon the other one tossed me a spoon. Then when it went for me to close out the bartender jokingly said you ordered a lobster steak and then he laughed. I would've ordered, but no one asked. The service here was extremely beyond disappointing. I would never go back nor refer this restaurant to any of my clients. read more

How I forget what I ordered??? Hmmmm... cause it's too good. It's calamari spicy something and chips. The beer is the best. I remember one from Oregon and one from ... hmmm... I'm coming back. And prefer the same I ordered. The bar tender is cute and nice, that's means the service is good. read more

Found this great little Italian cafe while trying to get out of the rain the other night. In an area notorious for "tourist trap" restaurants this place was great. AMAZING espresso martinis (made they way they should be!). We enjoyed the mushroom pizza with white sauce and the fritto misto! Both were so yummy and big portions! Great service too! read more

I typically don't write reviews but I was so flabbergasted by my experience at Tratto tonight that I felt the need to write one. The service by our very kind waitress was great and she was very attentive and hard working. The problem was with the chef and the manager's attitude and approach when they insisted that the well-done steak they brought me was in fact medium rare. The chef was insulting in trying to lecture me and insist that he was right that when I asked him to make my steak medium rare, he sent another well-done steak out-which i obviously went back. The manger was a gutless stooge of the chef and didn't care about the way our party was treated. Basically, my first and last time eating at Tratto. read more

We waited for about 20 minutes before anyone greeted our table. Awful service and mediocre food at best. Our server eventually came over and was drunk and it was pretty uncomfortable. Food was nothing special. They took pizzas off the menu and that was the only thing that looked good online. Don't come. read more

Ordered from bar during a busy night with another event happening in the hotel's ballrom next door. They had run out of chilled bottles and asked us to wait. 30 mins later still no bottle so I finally asked to have a room temp bottle put into a bucket of ice and brought it back to our group myself. This would have been all fine (I even left a generous tip since the bartender was nice) had there been no confusion with the bill and getting double charged for drinks my friends already paid for. I didn't notice the error until the next day wondering why the charges on my credit card were so high. I emailed the restaurant with proof of receipt twice but never heard back. read more

Food excellent. Drinks even more than what I expected. The pseudo manager, Javier, is a dickhead. He likes to monitor how many drinks are at one's table. Only one drink should be on the table (what he said) and on top of that, it was all a lie because he stated it's a law but after asking him he stated "It's what should be the case...". Which to me, meant he didn't like the optics of a glass of red wine and a cocktail on my table. Knowing full damn well I'm going to be paying well over a $100 for the single meal all to my self that made me mad. Javier should not have a say in what patrons of this great restaurant should have on their table. Regardless of what I have on my table at the moment , no one should dictate what is on their table. I wasn't offending anyone nor drawing attention to myself. Did Javier not like a big brown man ordering drinks? Yes! Did Javier feel the need to micro-manage what is on my table? Apparently! Not at any time and not at any moment should that happen unless it would detract from their business. Javier's opinions are ill pointed and now this makes me never want to come back to this restaurant and to The Marker Hotel in which it is located. Good job, Javier in screwing over my opinion of both. You and you alone soured me on both. Good job on that! You suck at your job and I hope to never see you again. read more

Stay away from this place. We were seated right away (was not very crowded which is important in understanding this review). We then waited for over 10 minutes for the waiter to come to the table with water, said he would be right back and we waited about another 12 minutes for him to return. We ordered drinks and they came separately (not together). Eventually we were able to order and then waited a long time for so so food. Neither the waiter or anyone else checked on us until we had eaten and our drink glasses were empty. Then someone asked if I wanted a refill (plates being cleared). Again, important to realize the restaurant was not very crowded. Then the waiter reappeared after another wait. Although we had arrived in plenty of time to eat before going to a show, by the time we were asked if we wanted dessert it was too late so asked for the check right away. Again, another wait for the check and it came. NOTE: the tip was included in the total at 20% without even asking. Then waited for the card to be picked up, almost took it to the register myself. Then when it was taken and redelivered, the form had only space for a "CUSTOMIZED TIP" not showing the original bill! This is unbelievably bad and must be a way to scam the tourists. Should be illegal but caveat emptor I guess. The only positive about the whole experience was the wine was good but I ended up needing to use my knife to fish out a piece of cork. With so many good places closing, how this place stays in business is beyond unclear. read more

Hubby and I like to try different restaurants when we visit San Francisco and decided to give Tratto a try! The service was very spotty but when someone did take our order, we ordered the Fritto Misto and a Pizza with house made Italian sausage, fresh mozzarella, onion jam and fennel pollen. The food was very good and had very good flavor. The restaurant, located in a hotel is very nice. The service was the only bad thing about eating here. read more

Meh. That was my husbands response after eating here. It's a hotel restaurant which I generally avoid, but had higher hopes given then reviews, unfortunately was as he said meh. We got the farro salad much is a great concept but just didn't taste great. Oddly tasted slightly of detergent. We also got 2 pizzas which both were just ok. There are so many great restaurants in SF - go somewhere else. read more

Warmly greeted and promptly seated thanks in part to our Open Table reservation. A varied, yet not overwhelming menu (both food and drink.) For example, they offered one brand of each varietal of wine and a handful of both beers and cocktails. Our server did well in answering any questions we had and helped patiently with those who just couldn't decide. No daily specials - read into that as you will. Personally, I think it's a good thing. The Spinach Tagliatelle, Three Meat Bolognese was a pretty safe choice based upon the previous reviews and it certainly did not disappoint! Perfectly cooked pasta with just the right amount of bolognese. It'll be tough to order differently next visit. A very nice Tiramisu and Affogato finished off the meal. Service was very attentive, yet not intrusive - probably knowing the show schedule at the nearby Curran. (We had plenty of time between Harry Potter, Part 1 and 2, to enjoy all Tratto had to offer.) read more

Tratto - Spinach Tagliatelle!! - Italian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Horrible breakfast. Found a hair in my bacon. The eggs were not cooked. Service was non-existant Disgusting.

The ambiance is amazing. I enjoyed the uptempo but subtle music; no lyrics, just beats. The tiled floors were eye catching. I felt like I time warped into another era. Food was fantastic. Appetizer was scrumptious. We shared the Fritto misto. It was a mixture of different deep fried items: calamari, seasonal vegetables, & lemon. First time I had a deep fried battered lemon. Very tasty, when you dip it into the Calabrian aioli sauce. I had the minestrone soup. It was great for the cold day in San Francisco. Backed up with a wedge salad that was crisp and delicious. For main course, I had the buttery half chicken with arugula and roasted red potatoes. That chicken is to die for. It was really savory with the red potatoes and arugula for balance. My Brother let me taste the skirt steak and polenta that he had. The steak was medium rare with the red wine sauce. That paired up very well with the fried polenta. First time I had tasted a fried polenta. That was an experience within itself. I asked my Brother, "Are you eating tofu?" He replied, "Try it". I tasted both of them together. The red wine sauce made them melt together. We were both happy with our choices. The service was amazing. Seated fast and given menus. The waiter was very knowledgeable of the details in the dishes. He helped us pick out items. I noticed the Bartender was very hospitable to the guest @ the bar. The host was very polite to me and my Brother. When going to a nice restaurant, it is the staff that makes a big difference for me. They were all working together as a team. This is very rare to see these days. I will be back, because they made the cold foggy San Francisco Sunday feel like sunny Sunday. I left the restaurant feeling like a millionaire. This place is a gem. I'm still blown away by the experience. I almost forgot to talk about going to the bathroom. Going to the bathroom, you go through the hotel. The lobby was breath taking. They had a well decorated lounge area with a fire place & crystal chandeliers. I noticed people in big plush chairs warming by the fire. Looked nice. When I exited the bathroom, I saw the other room that looked like a mansion library out of the Great Gatsby. I felt like I was in that era. This place has great detail for a hotel in San Francisco. I have to come back for the dessert. We were stuffed and left no room for dessert. read more

Ending of the year with my favorite discovery of 2019 - weekend brunch at Tratto. Love what they did with the remodel to make the space open, bright, and contemporary. Service has always been lovely. Plus it's easy to score a table here on the weekends. But the food plus bottomless mimosas are pretty good reasons too. The cannelloni is hands down the most interesting brunch dish on the menu with the spinach-ricotta stuffed pasta with a sausage tomato sauce and fried egg on top. It just works as a brunch dish with your mimosa. Ditto for the revamped breakfast sandwich. Tratto has updated their's to include pork belly and crispy prosciutto to kick it up a notch. Not just a bacon, egg, and cheese here. The stracotto hash is tasty but the portion's small. The burger is fine but there are better items for brunch. The signora croccante was a fun Italian take on croque madame but is now off the menu. So much to love about Tratto for brunch but most of all that it's easy. No long lines or waits. No crazy rager parties. Perfect for catching up with friends over bottomless brunch. read more

Tratto is a decent restaurant a block from Union square. The service and setting are great! But the food left me unsatisfied for the price. I got a latte, frutteti di oaxaca (alc drink), and gnocchi. The latte and frutteti were pretty good but I was not a big fan of the gnocchi. It was made from pasta shells instead of actual gnocchi! The service was all-around pretty good. The staff was patient, attentive, and very accommodative to our party. The restaurant was beautifully decorated with lots of natural light. There was ample room between tables and it was not too loud. A great date spot, night or day. read more

Only got to try their truffle mushroom pizza and frito misto. The truffle mushroom pizza alone was to die for. The frito misto would have been better for a large group to share instead for a couple. It was too much fried food and I hated how they fried the lemon slice and I didn't know and plopped it in my mouth, starting chewing and was immediately disgusted. I would come here again just for the truffle mushroom pizza and maybe try their other pizzas. read more

Tratto - Mushroom truffle pizza and frito misto - Italian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Its a standard hotel restaurant and bar. Nothing great. Nothing bad. The room and space is quiet compared to many alternatives in the area. Mushroom pizza and tratto hamburger were good. The hamburger includes sweet pickled onions. Small, but great touch. The focaccia bread service has an amazing crust. Drinks were meh. Pours were meh. 4 others who ate with us enjoyed their dinners, but none were amazed. Would i recommend? Yes, if you did not want to walk more than 3 blocks from your hotel. read more

This is the night It's a beautiful night And we call it Bella Notte... That was the mood when my friends and I finally happened upon this restaurant. A nice straight-out-of-the-movies Italian spot with its checkered floors, waiters with accents, and gracious wine pouring (from a jug!). We called for a reservation and our table was ready when we got there. The service was great, the waiters attentive and ready with the suggestions! Very dim lighting so excuse the photos. We had a calamari appetizer, very good though a lot more than just calamari was fried. I think lemons and carrots were mixed up in there too. We also had some polenta fries too that weren't bad! For my first time trying that, I could enjoy that dish again. The pasta was pretty good. It's an inexpensive place that's great for treating yourself without robbing your wallet. Sure I've had better but we had such a great time there, the trade off was fine. Maybe ordering one with a bit more sauce would woo me all the way. Dessert was great. Tiramisu is always presented differently--that's fine if you can come through. Tratto did. Knew what they were doing, the chocolate was decadent, everything else was fluffy, slightly sweet, and completely satisfying. I will be ordering that again. read more

I'm very disappointed with this please. I orders lemon Herb gnocchi and it's was absolutely uneatable. The sauce was flavorless and the Gnocchi was very chewy. I told our waiter that I didn't like it and all he said was "Oh ok." The host was too relaxed and careless as well. Our drinks were good tho. I don't think I'll return to this place again. read more

Came here on a Friday night for my birthday dinner! I made a reservation ahead of time for our party of 9 and we were seated almost right away when we arrived. Our group shared a variety of pizzas and pastas - I personally thought the pizzas were better. For pizzas - we tried the mushroom one and the prosciutto one, both of which were very tasty! I thought the oriecchiette was quite average, not worth trying. Gnocchi was not bad. The server also gave me a free shot after my friend told him it was my birthday, so that was fun! We also got 2 jugs of wine to share, which is great for a large party. Overall, Tratto has good food and good vibes. Great for a large group, a celebration, a casual date night or just a catch up with friends. Get the pizza, get a jug of wine :) read more

Yelpers- it's not often that a pizza is a life changing experience, but if you're looking for something to change your life: have the white pizza here. Mushrooms. Poached garlic. Fontina cheese. TRUFFLE OIL. Sage. I... I just don't have words, y'all. San Fran isn't supposed to be known for pizza, but forever in my heart will live this life-altering, mind-blowing, world-class, master piece on pizza crust. Come here. Eat the pizza. Leave changed. read more

Visiting San Francisco for 2 days and picked Tratto because (of the Yelp reviews and) a "closed door". Anyone in SF the past 2 days knows a closed door means AIR CONDITIONING. So glad we stopped in. Shared a butter lettuce salad with avocado, a pizza with grapes, goat cheese and arugula and the potato gnocchi. Simply delicious. The short rib ragu was so flavorful and the dumplings light. The pizza crust was so full of flavor and the toppings properly displayed. Would recommend Tratto whether the weather cooperated or not! read more

Way too overpriced for being a Hotel Restaurant. The whole place just felt....stern and heartless. The only vegan option that they really sort of had was a salad... and it did not look appetizing for being over $15-20. Even the customers seemed extremely depressed or annoyed with life. I had a quick phone call and got yelled at because I didn't have headphones.... The bartender was extremely sweet though, and I left him with a very good tip, but I don't think I'll be returning because $30 for a double shot of tequila (I wasn't even familiar with) wasn't worth it. The area is starting to fill up with tweakers as well. Just not a good spot for overpriced food and drinks. read more

Two unique interpretations of classic Italian dishes. Bruschetta was as messy as bruschetta should be, but held together with ricotta, which meant less spilled with each bite. An interesting take! Pappardelle was delivered in a creamy tomato sauce, which was tastefully sweet, and accompanied the homemade pasta very well. The flat pasta was wider than I'm used to, making each bite worth cutting rather than twirling. Portions were appropriate, not excessive, which is appreciated. Worth a visit! read more

The food overall was just eh. The spinach tagliatelle, three meat bolognese pasta I was really hoping to be pretty good, however my nose was not agreeing with the taste of it. It could be a spice I don't like (I definitely don't like allspice if that's what was in it) and I've only had my mother's meat Bolognese and that's it, but the noodles had a good texture. The doughnuts had such great potential, but they were not cooked through enough and I only ate 2 of them. The caramel sauce was good. The service was quick once ordered for takeout. The ambiance was fairly dark and was packed, even at the bar. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? Maybe it was just bad timing? read more
