Came here with friends because we were in the area and wanted to try a new dinner place!The food was very tasty - we got various kinds of pasta, and I tried a bit of each of my friends'. Each pasta was very unique in flavor but very delicious nonetheless! We also shared the berry crème brûlée, and it was wonderful - not too sweet with delectable berry flavor!The service was also phenomenal, as the waitstaff checked up on us periodically. The seating area is a bit small, but the ambiance is great still! I like the rustic quality of the interior as well as the general vibe :)Overall would definitely come back to try new dishes !

Cafe Tiramisu is a charming Italian place serving up special dishes in the heart of financial district. There is an old world charm to the interior and it was packed on that Thursday lunch hour we went. With a reservation, our party of 5 was quickly seated and we ordered mostly pastas. Bread is $7 but worth it. It's a cheesy focaccia that can be shared. All their pasta is homemade and the sauce that accompanied it was very flavorful, even if it took about 25 minutes for it to come out. Linguini vongole was filled with plenty of clams and garlic butter. Our only thing would be that the "crispy chicken" entree on the menu wasn't very crispy (more like roasted). Otherwise, great place for a holiday lunch or work gathering.

Restaurant week! I visited with 2 colleagues for a business lunch & were happy that we were able to fit in a restaurant that was participated in Restaurant Week. I made reservations online which required a credit card (for no-shows). For $35, you can choose an appetizer & entree & everyone gets a slice of tiramisu cake for dessert. I'm writing this review 6 hours after I ate lunch & will probably skip dinner because I'm still full.The restaurant was pretty busy, but servicr was very good. I had the burrata which was delicious & had a bite of the beef carpaccio, which was very good. The pappadalle was so good that i devoured every bite. The tiramisu cake was light & fluffy, so we were able to finish our dessert although we were pretty full from our entrees. Service is very efficient & friendly as they are accustomed to the lunchtime crowd in the financial district.

I'm glad I gave Cafe Tiramisu a try. It's a cute little Italian spot with solid pizza, nice atmosphere, and staff that is both welcoming and slightly abrasive at the same time. It's a bit tricky to find, because it's in an alley off one of the main streets, but that does kind of add to the charm.Be sure to save space for the cheesecake. It's amazing.

I am honestly surprised by the less-than 5-star reviews. We had dinner at Cafe Tiramisu tonight while in town for a conference and had the most delicious meal. We were a party of 6 with one vegan, and everyone loved their food. All of their pasta is homemade. Service was top-notch! This will definitely be one of our go-to restaurants whenever we are in San Francisco again. I highly recommend it!

I read the reviews after visiting this establishment and don't agree with the pricing issues. I believe it's actually prices well and yea some of the portions are smaller but still delicious and good. Owners are friendly and service is great even on a busy night

This place does the job if you're looking for Italian food and happen to be nearby. I had the Pappardelle with (I think it was pork and beef) ragu. It was not very flavorful, but it checks the box. The pasta was also a little soft, but it also checks the box. Same with the glass of wine I had with the food and the tiramisu dessert (it could have used some coffee liqueur and one more layer of ladyfingers). Essentially, this is not a place to go if you're looking for stronger flavors and textures, but it checks the box and is great if you especially want to avoid sodium in your diet.P.S. The table next to me offered me a bite of their pizza, though, and it was actually pretty terrible... I wouldn't recommend.

Good American Italian food but just nothing out of the ordinary. I've eaten there twice since my in-laws love the place. First meal was a branzino fillet which was good but not worth the price. Second time was a good Bolognese pappardelle pasta.

Dinner last night with a party of 12 was a blast. Be sure to make a reservation if you have a larger party. The food was great. I had the spicy angel hair lobster which was fantastic and a pretty big portion. Also make sure to try the octopus! Service was great and we always had a heavy pour on the drinks. The cafe is super tucked back and had a great vibe
