Il Borgo

This was a very cozy and cute little place. The server was an elder man who was very nice. The food was very authentic and delicious. We started with the bruschetta to share, always have to get that at an Italian restaurant. I got the artichoke ravioli and it was great. We also got regular ravioli with sausage inside, Spaghetti carbonara and a mushroom pizza. The only thing i would say is actually shareable is the pizza, everything is more personal size. I would recommend this place if you wanted something thats pretty authentic and fast. It wasn't too busy but it had quite a good amount of people, they seem to have a lot of regulars since they greeted each other by name. I would definitely come here again if im around.

I just had a really nice dinner here. The spaghetti was very delicious and very well cooked. The service was very friendly and the ambiance of the place was great for an Italian restaurant. I give them 5 stars. I recommend people try this place out . . I also recommend making a reservation for eating here Friday night or Saturday night.

Great gnocchi and pasta. Love the lasagnetta - mini rolled lasagnas that are a nice balance of flavors. Carbonara leftovers are great for breakfast the next morning, with a fried egg on top!

Great tasty pasta, cute Italian decor, and fast and friendly service. Nothing that really blew me away, and it's definitely on the pricier side, but definitely a solid option for some good pasta!

This is my favorite Italian Restaurant. The pastas taste for fresh and delicious. Everything I have tried is so tasty. The ambiance is very cute and nice. The staff are friendly and provide great service. Highly recommend!

No one told me the real Little Italy is in Hayes??? Kidding, but stepping into this restaurant really does feel like you're stepping into Europe (all they need to do is cover up the windows for true immersion because the SF outside does clash a bit with the quaint Italian street aesthetic within). My partner noticed that the Yelp reviews for this restaurant were really divided, but that the 5 stars ratings were raving about its authenticity, so we were really excited. The waitstaff was friendly and humorous. They weren't super educated on vegetarianism (no hard feelings, most places aren't) so we went with originally vegetarian dishes (eggplant pasta and the vegetarian lasagna) instead of choosing a meat dish with substitutions. We got complimentary bread, lots of it. The food itself was prepared really fast, was presented really well, had huge portion sizes (I was F U L L), and it was so so tasty too! Chef's kiss. And it ended up being surprisingly affordable for a "fancy" dinner date! Wold recommend the dishes we got if you like cheese/cream (lasagna) or a bit of a pleasant kick (eggplant pasta).

Been here a couple times and loved both experiences. Very comfy atmosphere and friendly service. They're a little slow, but the food completely makes up for it. The artichoke ravioli is my personal favorite as I don't see it on as many menus in SF.

The food was outstanding and the service was very fast. It was our first time dining at Il Borgo and we were very impressed.Highly recommended!

Veal scalloping with mushrooms and Marsala sauce was tough and hard to chew and the sauce was way too sweet. I asked for pasta on the side instead of potatoes, thinking plain noodles but got spaghetti marinara and no vegetables. I was never told that the pasta would be spaghetti and that by substituting it for potatoes I wouldn't get the normally accompanying vegetables. When I explained to the waitress, her attitude was basically that it was my fault. I ended up having a side of meatless spaghetti for dinner, though at least that was good, but no protein. My sister gave me her carrots, which were at least good as were her green beansThe restaurant was a bit shabby; worn out cushions on the wooden bench seat had very little padding. The vinegar cruet was very sticky, and I had to ask for Parmesan cheese - unusual for an Italian restaurant. My sister chose this restaurant because someone praised the chicken Parmesan, but she found it to be equally mediocre.I'm sad we paid for such a poor meal and didn't just walk out instead. Very disappointing for a birthday celebration in a city with so many good restaurants. We'll never return.

The place was empty. I had a reservation but the lady said sit anywhere. I asked if there was a house wine. She answered, " we have bottles and glasses. Is this your first time in a restaurant?"Food was very average and very hot. I suspect it was microwaved to get to that temperature. After each bite, the server asked if she could take our plate away. Bread arrived after the entree. We walked home through Hayes Valley and saw lots of restaurants overflowing and with waiting lists. I wish I was in a waiting list...
