Brings back so many memories! I remember coming here since I was a kids in the early 90s. Still the same original owner. Can't believe they're still around. They must be doing something right! Food was just like what i remembered! very tasty! Complimentary garlic bread was so flavorful! House salad with the house vinaigrette was on point! Let's not forget the star of the show, the baby clam linguine with white creamy sauce. My go to pasta since I was a kid! Restaurant is pretty outdated but it's not about how the restaurant looks. It's the great service and excellent food!

Italian food done by Chinese staff. Only in SF! I've been a fan since I was a young man living in the Tendernob neighborhood in the early 90s, so it's all about nostalgia for me. Since the Larkin St location closed, I had to try their Richmond location. I'm happy to report the food has not changed. I recommend the linguine with white clams or Fettuccine Della Casa, which I used to order back in the day. Be forewarned that it is very rich; I remember seeing the containers of half and half in the kitchen. Only thing they're missing is the escargot which they used to have.

Expensive faux Italian Seafood restaurant that has been around 38 years. Located in the Richmond District where parking can be a challenge. Numerous restaurants in a two-three block area.Clean, bright facility with so many pricey food options. They have lunch specials which get you soup, garlic bread, and a entree.Had:- Oxtail Stew with rice (other choice is noodles) with veggies. The sauce was tomato based and tasted like it was out of a can. Four meaty oxtails with potatoes, carrots, and onions. Not memorable for the price.- Clam Vongole over Linguini which tasted mostly of mushroom soup with minced clams. Not sure if the minced clams were fresh or from a can.Conclusion: a neighborhood restaurant that is not knock your socks off and expensive for the quality of the food produced. Very nice woman owner waitperson who checks on you often. Quality of the food likely sacrificed due to the numerous items available.

Food served at different times and raw. My (medium) New York steak was practically mooing. The lady was so angry when we asked for it to be taken off the menu that the cook came out and brought us the bill instead. Service and food both suck. I hope for the people of SF that they go out of business.

I went here for a friend's birthday and the owner was very friendly. Our friend was offered a free meal as well. The food was great! I got the pesto fettuccine with grilled chicken. I thought it was pricey at first glance but they give large portion sizes. All the entrees come with garlic bread and either a salad or clam chowder. We had plenty of left overs so I had my lunch covered for the next day.

The service excellent, super clean place place, loved the ice tea, soup was nice, portions huge. Pork chops cooked right but abit greasy, loved main came with pasta and veggies, soup and bread. The pasta sauce with meat was not good. I hope they revisit the sauce recipe. I was hungry so ate most of everything but seriously couldn't even eat half of it. I want to give the place a great review but they need to improve the pasta sauce, remove some of the port chop grease. Maybe cut the menu options back and focus on quality. The prices are $30 per person with a drink but meals quantity is easily for two people so maybe cut portions and lower prices. What do I know. I always want local places to succeed. Will not be back because of the other options in the the area.

I really enjoyed their Eggs Florentina. A generous portion of fresh blanched spinach on an english muffin topped with perfectly poached eggs and just the right amount of hollandaise, served with crispy hash browns. It's my go-to there. The place is quiet and the service friendly. This place is a bit pricey overall, but the eggs florentina is one of the least expensive items on the menu, at $18.

My mom was craving for the oxtail stew and as usual, the portion was big and for $25 it comes with soup, garlic bread, pasta with meat sauce, steamed veggie, and the stew. Genuinely a good lunch deal. I am on a diet so I ordered a salad with grilled chicken off the menu. The lady told me it's $22 with lettuce and tomatoes as the basic green. That's very pricey in general, and especially when the side salad charges only $5. But I needed the protein so I ordered it anyway. True to her description, there's only iceberg lettuce, few pieces of Costco spinach, and some tomato slices as veggie. Not even some cucumber, shredded carrots, or onions as embellishments. Then the lady said the price is actually $25. The guy at the table behind us, who came in and ordered his food without the need to look at the menu, came over and praised the salad (I am guessing he is a frequent customer living nearby?). I gave the lady a nasty look and she appeared to be apologetic, as if she knows she is in the wrong but cannot not rip me off. The taste? Mediocre at best, and the food cost of that chicken salad cannot be more than $7. If you want the usual comfort food and continue to support the small businesses in your neighborhood, feel free to return. But I won't. There are plenty of better deals around at a much lower price. Economic soft landing is happening soon, so good luck Little Henry.
